			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>You can tell my pussy isn&#8217;t getting enough attention because I noticed this morning when I was taking a bath that my pussy ring was missing. Oops! I wonder how long it had been gone. I know it was there last Sunday but don&#8217;t remember noticing it since.</p>
<p>M. found it under the bed but couldn&#8217;t find the bead, of course. I had to leave quickly, so he found an old barbell from who knows when and put that in. The hole was already starting to close so that was a close call!</p>
<p>Clearly, more attention to my pussy is required.</p>
<p>I look different without the ring. It sure was easier to shave without anything there, but he wasn&#8217;t going to let that last.</p>

<p>I need one. I wish it could be one where I didn&#8217;t have a care in the world.</p>
<p>Please?</p>
<p>The news lately is making me have serious flashbacks. Someone who beats his child with a belt with the help of his wife. Damn. If only webcams had been available when I was a teen.</p>
<p>A coach who witnessed a child being abused by a coach. But he didn&#8217;t say anything to anyone. Huh.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m going to bury my head in the sand and just wish I was a different person. How&#8217;s that? Go me.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>So my son got married. Wow! I think that means I&#8217;m officially old. You have to be a &#8220;friend&#8221; of mine elsewhere to see the photo. But for once in my life, I felt pretty and proud all day. Wow. I&#8217;m a fan of that!</p>
<p>My mother showed up. It was not as weird as I&#8217;d feared, except that she was reasonable. And kind. She had an envelope of photos of my childhood, all of which she&#8217;d denied existed for years.  She&#8217;d told me I was insane.</p>
<p>But then she admitted it all. Wow.</p>
<p>I told her in email today that</p>
<p>&#8220;I would like a copy of my birth certificate. It&#8217;s been sealed,<br />
because I have been adopted twice. Can you get me a copy?&#8221;</p>
<p>I&#8217;ll see what I can do and get back to you.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Time goes by too quickly.</p>
<p>I had a nightmare last night that was one of those recurring ones, where I finally figured out that what was happening really was just a dream, but I still couldn&#8217;t make it go away. Stupid brain. I do not need more hassles in my life.</p>
<p>The cooling weather makes my joints ache. If M. plays with me at all, it takes me a week to recover. Stupid joints. I do not need more hassles in my life.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve been taking off Thursdays for a while. My body says I am owed the day off, even if the weather is nice finally and it&#8217;s been crap all week. I like routine, damn it. I do not need more hassles in my life.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve had some sort of crud in my lungs for a week now. This is only the third time in my life with some sort of &#8220;cold&#8221;. Once when I was 15, and once in the late 90s. I may get injured a lot, but I don&#8217;t get colds, damn it. Viruses make everyone else miserable, might give me a couple of hours of &#8220;gastric distress&#8221;, but that&#8217;s it. Sinus infections? Not since I quit traveling, THANK GOD and I&#8217;m an atheist. I do not need more hassles in my life. My puppy freaks out when I cough, which does not a peaceful night of sleeping make.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>We had a really, really hot scene the other day. I&#8217;m not sure what made it so hot, actually, but it was just one of those times that clicked.</p>
<p>Hoods are an important part of it, I think. Except sometimes the hood doesn&#8217;t work for me, and it&#8217;s all an exercise in endurance and acceptance. </p>
<p>I remind myself all the time that belonging to a sadist means I&#8217;m often not going to like things. Damn it. I thought being a masochist means I liked it. But being miserable sucks, and having someone who is enjoying making you miserable is really really sucky.</p>
<p>Sometimes, it gets so damn hot and it&#8217;s the same damn stuff.</p>
<p>Jkid&#8217;s wedding was postponed to mid-October, poor guy. I still can&#8217;t believe it&#8217;s going to happen. He&#8217;s too young, and despite really liking his girlfriend and she&#8217;s all sorts of good for him, he reminds me a lot of my ex. He&#8217;s pretending to be straighter and less kinky than he is, but though I haven&#8217;t talked to him about it, he knows that I know.</p>
<p>Poor kid. It sucks that the apple doesn&#8217;t fall too far from the tree.</p>
<p>He&#8217;s drinking too much and bouncing around being unemployed a lot, just like his father. But he&#8217;s trying harder than his dad ever did (or does), and he&#8217;s determined not to move in with either us or her parents. He makes more freelance singing and goofing around with bands and some acting, and he&#8217;s drawing portraits for law enforcements, just like I tried to get him to do when he was a teen. He&#8217;s good.</p>
<p>Remember when he went to a strip club in Montreal for his 18th birthday? He and his buds duplicated that in Atlantic City for a party before the wedding (that never happened). I guess maybe that&#8217;s more normal than I&#8217;m thinking &#8230; but that&#8217;s where my ex took me for our honeymoon when I was 18, and Jkid had no interest in taking his girlfriend there. Instead, they are taking a paid for honeymoon to Italy for 2 weeks, to visit her relatives and visit museums. That&#8217;s not going to end well.</p>
<p>Still, I&#8217;m looking forward to going to the wedding, sort of. I have an outfit all picked out with very high heels and a new necklace. I still need to find lime green sheer hose to wear, no matter how many tell me to not wear hose. I found the dress really cheap on Ebay in size 10 and had it tailored to fit the boobs and taken in at the waist. I topped up my roots and had my hair trimmed and eyebrows done, and I guess I&#8217;m going to need to do that again. I have to figure out when, so I don&#8217;t smell like a damn hippie when I&#8217;m dancing with my son. (We picked John Michael Montgomery to dance to.) </p>
<p>I&#8217;m sort of dreading photos, though. I&#8217;m trying very hard to just not care. I don&#8217;t want to spoil his wedding in any way. I will smile and relax and not stress about so many people seeing me who I haven&#8217;t seen in forever, like my damn mother and my ex. Fuck.</p>
<p>M. told me to &#8220;get ready&#8221;. I&#8217;m hoping for another really good time, thanks. </p>

<p>Who the hell knows what happens after 21 years? I don&#8217;t want to be a control group, someone who you&#8217;d compare &#8220;normal&#8221; people to, you know?</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t look any different, really, nor feel any different, specifically, but I do, in sort of major ways that I find hard to articulate.</p>
<p>He says they don&#8217;t exist if I can&#8217;t put them into concrete language.</p>
<p>Huh.</p>
