fall trips

for years now (well 2 of them) I have been wanting to go away for a long weekend to the middle of no where, some small town, upstate or even above upstate. For the record, to me upstate is Westchester. The Bronx are the division, Yankee stadium holds back the forigeners. Remember, this is coming from the person who turned down a hiking group trip to "upstate" becasue there is uncontrolled nature. No one here, lets me live that down.

The other big portion of this is J, is coming with me. We were invited by a friend of mine, (the one who I am writing a book with). On some level, in some porn somehwere, it sounds like a guy fanatasy weekend. All attendees (f I have this right, aside from 2 straight men-there might also be a gay guy coming too but I am unsure)) are lesbian or bi woman. One straight guy is going solo as a friend of one of the woman, and J. And J's younger days, his sexuality could be considered questionable. A, my friend, and I thought this was an amazing span of sexuality. It is a beautiful thing to be able to have almost everyone (except a straight woman, go figure) presnet


Our plans are as follows: horseback riding, hiking, cooking and a happenin' game of pictionary. I am assuming J will sit that one out. I can not wait to see stars, and listen to birds, and put my feet in the cold streams and go running in the morning alone.

In reality, it is going to be amazing to just get out of the city for a few days, slow down a bit, and spend some time in uncontrolled nature. Yes, you heard me say it, me in the wild. I hope I see some Moose!

i am quite excited about this week. tomorrow is my first working session about our book. I am looking forward to it. As a quick breakdown, it will be a compiled set of short non-fiction stories.

Once our topic and collection requirements are established, I will be putting out a request for work.

I am so excited to be developing and working on a project that I am going shopping tonight for a new folder to keep all the documents. Yes, this is just proof of my geek level. I get excited about office supplies and doing project management outside of my daily job.

I have no idea how my interview went on Friday. I enjoyed it. It was like a conversation I could imagine having at a bar over drinks and it was fun to talk about theory and art interface design and eductaion.

lazy

i am only lazy about posting because many of my thoughts these days i want to be possessive of.
i want them to be only mine. does this say something about how i want to never leave my brain these days. that so many words i want to say, i hold in, if only because i am selfish.

- the amazing sex j and i have been having this week. it has been so wonderful i am tempted every morning to call sick into work and lay around a fuck all day.

- the interview i have on friday and the idea of leaving a job i like for one that i know i will make more money doing but get less time off and work harder. which would probably bring me more satisfaction. but it is hard leaving when you know you like what you do and the people you work with.

- the upcoming pending date with this really pretty submissive girl- which if we get a long, i have already devised a plan for the first play session i want to have.. ahh forced feminization of a girl. how wonderful this shall be.

- the loss of a friendship that i am not quite sure how i lost. and this feeling of just well fuck off in return. which when ever you do lose a friend, you often wonder what caused this to happen, and you start to question your judgement on individuals you chose to have in your life. I do make a lot of augends easy, but i do not make close friends often. so when someone just stops talking to you, and you have no clarification why (and can't even think of a time you did anything to offend them) it is a bit confusing.

- the idea of leaving new york city and running away to some place in the middle of nowhere. If only they needed project managers in the middle of nowhere. i guess i have this desire to be selfish and be away from society and hide in nature somewhere and not have to talk to anyone.

- the book a friend of mine and me are planning on writing .we have our first working session on tuesday next week (book details to be disclosed at a later date but it is dealing with the subject matter of domination and submission)

so if i do get this job i am interviewing for, i have to cram a few trips out of town in during the next few weeks- like cali with my friend w, a trip to see my family, and maybe one last tropical island get-a-way and of course seattle and maine. maybe i will give notice and take 2 weeks vacation and spend it traveling the country. which actually sounds nice.

the idea of leaving a job about 4 months earlier than i anticipated causes some internal dilemma about the pre planned vacation to aruba (which is already paid for) and the fact we wanted to do 2 weeks off straight next september to drive to burning man. things do happen for a reason- so hopefully this will work out to my advantage. i am mostly worried about not having enough vacation days. hopefully we can negotiate on that.

i am waiting for a friend to get here, so my injured self can walk to meet at the corner and she and i can have a long over due dinner, and a drink. I haven't a clue what we are going to eat- there are a lot of choices around here. mostly i want a salad. a large salad and LOTS of veggies.
but if i keep smelling steak i am going to want it.

i wonder if this internalization of feelings and possessive thought process is due to the fact i have been dissconnected from my social groups for the last 2 months? i am sure it has something to do with it. the last week or so i have tried to spend time with people i miss, and start connecting again with my surroundings.
