It probably was a mistake to write my letter to Melanie first thing at work (I got here early), because now I feel all distracted and overly emotional. On my lunch break I'm going to go to Walgreens and buy some things to put in her package -- maybe a Pez dispenser, batteries, and what ever else fun things are found at a drugstore. I guess by posting this I run the risk of her reading this in advance, but I don't think she'll have good internet access until next week when she's working in the office -- so I'll take advantage of the delay!

I watched some of my movies last night. I only got to the first Nina Hartley movie (I saved them for last because I figured they'd probably be the best), and it was fairly interesting and fascinating, especially in a sociology of sexuality sort of way. Basically, she does these "how-to" videos that obviously include concrete physical tips, but she also spends about 30 minutes just talking about what she thinks about sexuality and perceptions and what not. Some of it is obviously two-sex centered, and even hetero-centered, but not entirely. But then again, it's geared toward hetero men and women and their sexuality, at least these first 2 videos. So it's not like she's claiming to be a video geared for everyone. I'm curious to see how the other videos turn out, but I also want to watch them with a certain someone. Maybe I'll just watch them twice.

INTERRUPTION!!! I'm talking on the phone with Melanie. Yay!! I'm so happy....I'll type more later.

hey there....

it sounds like you are handling the LDR thing well for the summer. i know it can be tough so let me know if you need anything.

i have a friend who made out with nina hartley. that's my claim to fame.

That sounds more like your friend's claim to fame.....I'm not sure what it is about Nina that I like. I was just talking to my friend Damon about it and he said "yeah, she's pretty attractive" and I was thinking that it has nothing to with her physical appearance. For some reason I was feeling all haughty, like "how can you be so shallow about her?" Weird.

Anyway, thanks for your support about my LDR. It's funny, but it really does help to have this little journal community as an open support group. Like, I enjoy having people participate in my life (and vice versa), but I also don't feel restrictions on what I say, since I don't have to deal with people's reactions in person. Also, I've been thinking about you and hope you're doing well with the recent breakup and stuff. I went through that just about a year ago, so in some ways it's still fresh, even though I simultaneously have this "new" relationship....
