My Policy On Commenting On Political Posts
My Naming & Friending Policy

I guess I should post about my experiences this weekend, but a combination of being tired, of feeling that it's too intimate and special to be shared, and of not having the right words is stopping me. (Edit: after finishing this post, maybe not.)

I went to Body Transformation Weekend up in Brunswick MD with a bunch of people who I know have LJs but I never got their LJ name. I went to it only knowing auror, wylddelirium and ninjaslug... I now have a number of new friends, and possibly a new lover (well, someone who could fit into a 2ndary or 3tiary role... he already has 2 girlfriends, maybe more.)

It was a weekend of tattooing and other forms of changing our bodies. It had a spiritual theme, mainly forms of Pagan. I was worried about going before I went... my worries were ok, but I ended up having a wonderful time. There was much chanting and good food. Also, much extremely important emotional work happened for me.

( I didn't want to cut this because I really really really want you all to read it and comment on it, but it's really really long. Please, by all means, please read this and comment on it. It means the world to me and it's something that's very important to me. )

All in all, it was a draining weekend in a very good way. I so hope I get to find the LJs of all of those wonderful people and get to stay in touch with them all. We all went on a journey together, and we all gave and got so much from each other.
