sorcyress*I have the entirety of Tuesday off, so I will be posting the porns sometime during the day then, after I have woken up. This means you probably have until past noon to get them in. So, if you haven't yet and want to, there you go.
*I will be off this weekend at East Hill, which is a square dance weekend attended by many/mostly(/all?) Tech Squares folk. Given that Squares is pretty much seventy percent of all my social interactions right now, I expect it to be a good time. I don't know if I will have internet, or if I will use it if I do.
*I have been very push/pull with regards to touch this week. Either I do not want to be touched at all, or I want intense snuggles. Often this happens at the same time --I only want to be touched by one person, but oh man, do I want them to touch me a lot. I'll probably be back to normal soon, but as always, it is nice to ask me before you touch me, and give mean actually opportunity to refuse.
*I've also been hitting a lot of sensory walls and needing more than usual to drown or drought any specific sense. The practical application of this is that I've spent a considerable amount of time this week with my eyes shut, especially while dancing. I've also been doing things like just covering my ears and not worrying about the fact that I look stupid.
*I've alsoalso (because why would my brain fuck up in just one way? I think all my social anxieties and fuckeries are interconnected, and when one goes, they all intensify) switched into Erik mode for a bit. It's probably to reverse itself tomorrow night at Scottish, for reasons I don't care to get into right now, but as always, I've been enjoying studying the differences, if not the dysphoria. The most recent piece of self-knowledge in the structure is aligning Erik and Kat as an almost completely integrated multiple system, rather than the exact same person, or two completely separate people. Working along this thought, I've found that I have much more a tendency to refer to "us", as part as an indication that I'm not strictly Kat right now.
*I have danced a ton this week. It's awesome! Friday night I crashed the Challenge-level1 dance and joined in for a couple C1 squares2 at which I did surprisingly well and got some very nice compliments. Saturday was a waltz night in Porter Square, hosted by Susan dG. I got to do some intense one-on-one teaching, a very good polka (in full ace bandage binding, no less --not my finest idea), and several beautiful waltzes. And tonight, there was a Hexagon workshop hosted by Clark Baker --I knew the majority of what he was covering already, but it was good to practise, and wonderful to dance with the caller sighting off the hex.
1: Square dancing has levels, each of which builds on the previous with more concepts and calls. The levels are: Mainstream, Plus, Advanced (A1, A2), Challenge (C1, C2, C3A, C3B, C4). C4 is an open-ended level, with all the calls currently being invented, and I believe the number I hear for how many people can dance it is "around one hundred. No, not in Massachusetts, total."
2: I do not know C1. I have learned through A2. I'm a very good dancer, and squares makes it easy (bless being able to follow off your opposite.)
*Don't really know that there's much else to say. My life has been very very busy this week, but I can hardly remember what with. Anyway, work tomorrow morning, and then other things, and then dancing, and I'm going to go thump now, ayep.
Er!k
MOOP!

on 2012-02-28 08:07 pm (UTC)I think the number of people we invite to the Berkshires (an invitational C4 dance) is closer to 200 than 100. Add in the dancers in Japan that we don't know, and there are probably 200 that can dance C4 reasonably well.
