This blog is a personal chronicling of many sorts of things, generally related to things queer, things feminist-progressive, things sexy, things kinky, and/or things relationship-y. Occasionally, I dither in cooking, fashion, mental health, family, work/school, and assorted other sundry topics. Basically what I’m saying is, I write a whole lot of random posts on possibly incongruent things. I blame it on the fact that I live in San Francisco, which, with its over-abundance of stimulation, encourages a certain level of schizophrenic living. I also blame it on life, which has a way of being random and incongruent, even when you’re trying to make it all fit together. Oh well.
Just to orient you a bit to your surroundings here, I’ll tell you a few pertinent tidbits about myself:
I am in my twenties, currently in a transition between working full-time and schooling full-time. My graduate studies will be in cultural anthropology, as of the fall of 2010. I identify as a queer femme, and you can see this post and this post for more on that. I am in a monogamous, committed relationship with my lady, who goes by various things on this blog because I have yet to find a steady pseudonym that sticks, among them: mi’lady, girlfriend, lady love, lady, and L. Usually I just call her “she.” Perhaps one of these days I will give her a name. We started fooling around in the fall of 2008 and it just sort of stuck, and here we are now. She’s not butch. I do love me some butches though, and I derive a lot of my ownership of Femme from the traditional Butch/Femme discourse. I tend to be attracted to queer women who are transgressively-gendered in some way.
Things I like include: sex, kink, books, lists, cooking, baking, organizing things, playing piano, shoes, fishnets, burlesque, make-up, social justice, meaningful conversations, San Francisco, Berlin, chocolate, fretting, tea, cats, sunshine, the ocean, self-care, logic, wine, baths, roadtrips. Among others.
You will see links on my site to Good Vibrations, Babeland, and Amazon.com; I belong to the affiliate programs of all three. This means that I will earn a (tiny) commission on anything you buy on any of those sites if you get to the site through my banners or links. I do this not to make a profit, but to try to offset the cost of having this website without having paid advertisements. So far, I have earned exactly $8.97 in commission. Keeping this website, in contrast, has cost me so far approximately $485. It obviously makes me very happy when people make a purchase through my links, but by no means do I ever intend to be duplicitous about it, and I will never endorse a product for the sake of earning commission. You can count on me to always be transparent.
If you somehow manage to a) find my blog, and b) relate to my writings, please do say hi. I promise I won’t bite.
Unless you want me to … ;)
