Toxicity

**** I wrote this in 2012.  It's been in a drafts folder.  I don't feel like tweaking it, I'm just going to post it - this was from, I believe, my time with Michael. ****   I need to contemplate on this.  For a long time I have... held myself to certain perceptions that if …

Call for Questions

So, Sir got this idea and now he's really into it.  Sigh.  He's coming up with questions for me to do a Q & A post.  He thinks it will help me to put some language to aspects of my relationship that I struggle to explain well.  Um, and I know Adele always has questions, …

WHAAAT?

I GET TO MEET DICE!  SQUUUUEEEEEE! That is all. (for those who don't know her...  Dice and also Dice)

Prescriptivism – Part 2

Here's the other half of my brain (more like a tenth, the first post on this topic was my majority thinking) on prescriptivism, or in other words, pompous language elitists. This is about my personal side of things, which is significantly less important than the social justice aspects, and so really barely qualifies as a …

Prescriptivism – Part 1

I recently found a most excellent quote on the Merriam-Webster Dictionary website. Many people object to the use of decimate to mean destroy, pointing out that the word originally meant "to reduce by one-tenth." But this is incorrect: almost every word we use today has moved away from its root meaning. If you object to …

Being Normal

  My life has been a long and strange pursuit of "seeming normal."  I think I've gotten good at it at this point.  But it took a long time to learn to hide it this well. I had a psychotic break when I was 16, but I had (undiagnosed) early onset bipolar...symptoms showing shortly after …

Adulting

A friend came over today and we had a lovely chat.  Then I was chilling, having dinner with Sir and Sub Brother.  Then I we were watching TV - we just started watching Suits and... it's pretty good!  Then I was lazily wandering around the house and Sir said, "Hey, don't you have a class …

Facelift!

You probably noticed already, but I changed the theme on my blog last night.  I just got a wild hair and needed to update.  I did try to change the color scheme to something less cheerful, but it froze and wouldn't save, so... yellow it is.  Sir says it's good to have some things in …

Fog

It's Friday night... it was a long week. It's been a long summer. I'm tired. Literally. My brain is exhausted.  Bipolar has been running wild and dancing naked with anxiety and my brain is wearing out... which is not a great thing.  My sleep has been improving but it's not perfect, and not enough to …

Drama

So... just because I literally have no one I can talk to right now... Let's post on my blog (that angst and masochism came back even sooner than I expected, huh?) Living with two partners, in a triad, has a lot of advantages, like... almost always if two people are losing their shit, the third …
