People sometimes think that I write about all my emotions on LJ as some kind of misguided attempt to seek external validation for my feelings. I try to explain to these people that this is not the way LJ works.
Just look at this week, for example. Nearly four times as many replies to an off-handed comment I made about male masturbation, compared to my usual emotion-heavy posts.
In other news, I just spent the afternoon in Kentucky, getting to know LDB's parents. She's not out of the poly-closet to them, so I had to pretend we are just friends. It's been a major source of stress for both of us for the last couple of weeks. It seemed to go well. Her parents are extremely craftsy, and her mom spent the entire day teaching me how to do Tatting, and apparently my shibari skills made this go much quicker than she expected. Explaining why I knew so much about knots and stuff was...interesting.
