I am a nocturnal writer, adult performer, and activist. I don’t smoke, I don’t do drugs, and I’ve never had a drink in my life -- leading some to comment on my “purity.” :) Recently I was told I need to “find a hobby besides sex.” That, of course, is an unfair characterization. I have a number of other hobbies.
If you are here because of or are a follower of my writing, please visit my website, The Green Light District. :)
Who I'd like to meet: Well, I seem to be in a philosophical/practical minority in a number of ways, so it seems like it would be nifty if I met others who were also in these minorities: others doing the Work, students of the Enneagram, sex workers' rights activists (in my case, advocating the decriminalization of prostitution, fighting censorship of pornography, etc.), people who dress like whores...I don't really have high hopes for meeting any of those kinds of people here -- or in general without specifically seeking them out -- but one never knows! Other than that, I'm generally just here to release my truth into the (online) universe; if you find yourself moved to respond, please feel free.
I'm open Friday evening the 23rd ... is that included in the special? I get off work in Annapolis at 4pm and would probably want to head straight over, so I would estimate with rush hour traffic I'd be there around 5:30/6pm.
Do you have any desire to do Melting Pot next Tuesday during their inauguration special week? I can't stop thinking about that fantastic cheese. We can do the $35 4 course special or half price cheese and chocolate at the bar?
If you mean tonight as in Tuesday, 10pm at my apartment will be wonderful. Give me a call on the way, maybe if Giant is still open, we can drive over to get me some milk - it's just down the street. I have a very interesting and empowering dream from last night to share with you.
yeah things are going quite well over here.. only thinkg missing is a night here and there of painting the town up with some of the metro area's sexiest ladies!
Hey, MP is next Tuesday. We going? I intelligently blocked out my late night appointments, so I will be done in clinic at 8pm ... could make it up there by 8:45?
Standing true to my convictions is making life much harder today than yesterday. I am still very clear, but it hurts me to know that my actions, even if the right ones, are hurting someone else. thank you for being my friend. That word, friend, means so much to me.
yeah, go ahead and reserve it for us. You can invite your non-lady friend if you like too ;) I'm a little too busy this week before vacation to send out a notice to our other lady friends -- can you handle that? Or we can just go without them this month, I'm sure they won't fault us for it.
PS. You are assigned to Cat duty the 16th - 18th as you volunteered. Jenn will see them on the 13th and Sweeney will take the 14th and 15th. If there are any problems, I will be outside of cell phone range, so please call Sweeney. I'll also leave my dad's number on the fridge if there are any probs with the landlord.
Oh my god, I deleted the monthly specials update without reading it cause i thought the reminder that I'd be missing Ladies' Night would bum me out. I'd love to do the 19th! At current, I have patients till 8pm, so I could be there by 8:45pm.
