Six Things that Occurred to Me Today

1. People are reading this. My counter tells me so. That's both exciting and a little scary. Thanks for reading and hopefully coming back. Click on my email link and say hi.

2. The sex blog community, or "naughty blog" as I call it, is a very interesting virtual community with some terrific, anonymous, people. I've linked to my favorites, and some have linked back. Thank you. Thanks also to responses to my emails with nice words about my writing and tips and encouragement. Thanks especially to Bacchus, DeeGee Girl, Sophia, TwiddlyBits, and the Vanilla Sex Goddess. They've inspired me. Visit their sites with my links!

3. This is my 10th post! It goes fast. Do other bloggers feel a pang of despair when their 1st posts go off the screen to archive-land? By posting these little vacant thoughts tonight I will lose one of my favorite posts (Girl-Dar) to the archives. Oh well. Read my archives too!

4. I've read back through my posts. I'm more long-winded than I thought I was at the time. But they say what I wanted to say, so I'm happy with that. I'm comfortable that I'm writing this for me, foremost.

5. I am clearly pulling my punches a little. I want this to be anonymous, that's why I don't use Dancer's names, even the fake club names. I'm not as graphic as I could be. Why? I imagine people in Chicago and New York, and L.A., and small town America reading this and what do you care who I'm talking about? You care about the story, the memory. But the thing is: I'm telling a story that involves both of us and I respect each of these girls. I've shared the secret that this journal exists with 2 of the Dancer's that I've paid tribute to here. They've read it and took it positively. They recognized themselves, but not the others. (I'm mixing and matching tributes from different clubs, but some are from the same club.) But still, if they read this I would want them to be honored by their tribute and not feel strange by recognizing another dancer. We'll see how that goes.

6. I probably got carried away in my last post. But wow!, that was a powerful memory. And Dancer, you connected with me emotionally on a level few else have.

okay - enough "inside baseball" about the blog. Let's get naughty.
