Life Update

It's been a while since I last made an entry here and quite a bit has happened. It's been about three months since the last entry so I will do my best to bring things up to date. I know I said a few posts back that I'd try and post more but sometimes things get away from you.
It's only April and 2012 has been turning out to be an interesting year so far.

One big thing was Conflation. I had a great time that weekend and got to spend time with all of my friends that I've grown close with in the last few years. I'm not going to go into detail like I did last year as a good amount of the interesting stuff isn't really mine to tell. One thing I did experience which I truly wish I hadn't is a Drink calle Venom. Oh My God, that shit was crazy. I probably should have known that it wasn't something I should have tried as a.) The drink came with instructions on how to drink it and b.) The instructions were "Take a deep breath", "Hold your breath while you take the shot", and "Breathe out through your mouth slowly after you take the shot"; with the added direction of "Whatever you do don't breath in". I'll admit I was hesitant but apparently, even at 30, peer pressure can be affective lol. So I took the drink, following the directions of course, and Holy Shit was that stuff strong. So strong it burned all the way down and after taking it I had trouble breathing for a minute or two. Once I was able to breath again I thought I was ok; I was wrong. Seems that my stomach was not a huge fan of Venom. After 5 minutes, where I was talking and trying to recover, my body was like "Get this shit out of me". Suffice it to say Venom burned just as much coming up as it did going down.

Another thing that has happened this year is that I started a Single's Munch for all of the single people in the local BDSM community. I started it after being made a moderator for a single's group on FL. I started it for a few reasons; the main one being that others who attended munches felt like the odd person out. As accepting and inclusive as the St. Louis BDSM community is, things seem to be more geared towards those in relationships rather than singles. So I started the Munch and man was I nervous. I mean here I am starting something that, as far as I knew, no one else was attempting to do and it turned out to be a success. The first one had about twelve people(maybe a few more) show up and we all got to know each other and had fun. The second one had more people; including one who I am very happy to have met. The third one is soon and there might have to be a change on my end of things.

One more thing that's happened so far this year is that I am in a relationship with a gorgeous, funny, adorable, intelligent, and downright awesome woman. Her name is Tara. It's funny, I actually met her at March's Single's Munch. Originally I contacted her on OKcupid because I saw her profile on there and thought she was pretty and interesting. She replied and said she saw me on FL and was going to ask me about the Single's Munch. So she showed up and we spent the whole two hours talking, occasionally joining in on the other conversations. While we were talking I kept wondering how I could ask her out without breaking the vibe of the conversation we were having. Then it happened, she said something that I was totally able to use in my favor. She said "The last movie I saw in theaters was Avatar", I replied with "Oh we so have to fix this. What are you doing after the munch?" We've been dating ever since :). We have a really good connection; a lot of things in common including having birthdays only days apart from each other. I've got to say it's nice that her birthday is only three days after mine; no way am I forgetting it lol.

It's interesting though that just a few months after admitting that I am polyamorous I meet a woman that is monogamous and want a mono relationship. I'm willing to give her one. I know that had it been anyone else I wouldn't be willing to do that but for her there is no question in my mind that I can. I plan on bringing her around me friends soon and introduce her. I'm sure they'll like her a lot. We already have one friend in common so I wouldn't be surprised if she gets along with the others.

So that's what's been going on with me these last few months. It's been an interesting year so far and I am looking forward to what is to come. I hope that things continue to be good and my eventual end of the year post is just as positive as this one.
