One o' my rambles

[serene]

I have this other LJ that I used a lot when I first set it up, but then found that it was weird to keep logging off and logging on as another person, as though the stuff I was talking about there was not part of who I am here, so I've let it languish. I enjoy being all me, all the time. And speaking of being all me, there's a part of my inner life that I only share with a few people, and I've been wondering how much I want to invest in talking about it with others. If the inner becomes outer, naturally I will share it with people close to me, but where do I draw the line? (Example that's not the actual thing under consideration: Say I had BDSM fantasies, but no desire to ever live them out or even to share them with anyone. Should I tell my partner? Should I tell others? I mean, I know that if I decided to live out some of the fantasies, I would want to be out about that, but if it was purely hypothetical? Dunno.)

Eating a terrific walnut-grain loaf with a wonderful mushroom gravy. I swear sometimes that I could live on mushroom gravy. Mmmmmm.

Work is pleasant, as usual, and the ocean taunts me with its breeze and its glimmeryshimmer.

The munchkins started school today. Munchkin The Elder was late; no big surprise, since zir mom isn't exactly Ms. On The Ball. But still, bummer being late for the first day of middle school.

Had more productive and loving talks with cute-poet-chick. And we looked for (and found, we think) a new place to move to. More space, a washer/dryer in the unit, and about twice the rent. It's a big step for her, and I think it means she really does feel like we have a future together.

Talked a *lot* about our poly issues, but I think that's something I'll save for alt.poly.

Mmmmm, water.

Can't get into my webmail right now, so I think I'll go surf around LJ for the rest of my lunch half-hour.

Ramble away....

Nice ramble, but did you have to unleash your earworm? Now I can't get it out of my head.... :)

*laugh* I don't accept any responsibility for the deviousness of earworms.

("Oh, I think I'm going out of my head; yes, I think I'm going out of my head over youuuuuuuu....")

i got the mamas and the papas i can't get her out of my head.

lisa, just sharing

That gave me "Last night, I couldn't get to sleep at all," which elbowed its way past the "It's hard to be a Christian Soldier" earworm that preceded it.

[lcohen]

well, you stumped the band with that last one.

*grin*

Kris Kristofferson. Or Bobby Bare. I think.

'Cause it's hard to be a Christian soldier
When you tote a gun
And it hurts to have to watch a grown man cry
But we're playin' cards, writin' home,
And havin' lots of fun
Tellin' jokes and learnin' how to die

out of my ken, as they say. doesn't even really give me "onward christian soldiers" because i've never been convinced that i truly know the tune to the one line i know. and anyway, i have the score from follies running through my head.

okay, want to know how wonderful the woman i'm married to is? i've had the CD of the original broadway cast version of follies for eons now, but i've always known that it was severely truncated and i wanted to get a more complete version. but i couldn't decide which to get between two: the london version and the new jersey one. so i got both and i've been playing all three and comparing which songs i like best from which version and she still hasn't left me! not only that, she sings along. is that true love or what?

you tell that cute poet chick of yours how good she's got it--look what my darling has to put up with!

[serenejournal.livejournal.com]

Watch it. My girl would probably dump me in a second for a monogamous lezbean.

[lcohen]

that's not what i hear. especially not for one who OD's on show tunes. and i can't cook all her fave stuff, either. hire me as your PR dyke!

[serenejournal.livejournal.com]

Yes, *that*'s what I need. I need a monogamous PR dyke to extoll the virtues of bipolychicks. Oh, wait, maybe not. Hrm.

[lcohen]

<laugh> okay, i'll just sit quietly in this corner. and leave my hair in a bun and wear these glasses.......

[serenejournal.livejournal.com]

*faint*

[lcohen]

<chafes serene's wrists>

oops, can someone give me a hand with the chaise? i wasn't prepared. they usually don't faint until i take my hair out of the bun and throw my sunglasses at their feet. just ask kateo.
