I am going to start filtering some of my more private musings. Since blogger does not have a tool for that, you will need to visit my Live Journal and ask to be friended there. I will continue to post Daily Gratitude and other subjects here. There is also a FAQ for my Journal at the same link.
| Tuesday, August 27, 2002 @ 07:06 We pulled out of a huge e-mail discussion group last week. While there were some interesting people and every now and then points that resonated with us, we were just tired of 100+ posts a day of what my boi calls "mental masterbation." I hit these points periodically. I don't want to listen to people analyze and debate and deconstruct power, pain, sex, love. It usually means I'd much rather be writing about it directly rather than conversing about it with others. My boi and I are still discussing things, but that is part of our bonding process: gaining a deeper understanding of each other and constructing a unified system. A better way to spend my time than weeding through post after post after post of opinions that, while well-articulated and intellectual, have little to do with our particular experience. I want to focus on my life and my boi and write about our experience and interaction, not dialogue about it. Of course, with the stress at work and the job search we're both supposedly undertaking at the moment, there's little time for writing....well, not if we want to keep the beatings and the sex on a semi-regular schedule. We'll find our way. There are things I need and there are things I've tricked myself into needing (or society has tricked me into believing). I'm nearing a breaking point with that and I'm just hoping I can do it calmly.
