it’s all nice

saturday night. damn.

spent the night at r’s last night unexpectedly. good. awesome, really. kinda exactly what i wanted. social shit + drinking + getting him alone at his place and fooling around for hours on end. social shit was done around 2 and we finally went to sleep around 4 or 4:30. blowing him is awesome. knowing he still wants to fuck and thinks about it often is flattering and thrilling. hearing him say “so i can do it with my dominant hand this time” in reference to finger-fucking me was unexpected, full of promise with a hint of wordplay, and for all of these reasons very thrilling.

(oh, and that was AFTER he came over straight after work asking for cuddles to cope with unexpected short-notice work bullshit. we watched live music performances on youtube and he tried to talk to me about projects and meetup and i was bad at keeping the conversation going but i showed him my unfinished giant plush squid and we made out some, so it wasn’t a total loss. yeah uh hey babe, sorry for being an empty thoughtless failure of a conversational partner. sorry it’s probably disappointing and boring to try to get to know me since everything entertaining about me is fake/copied. except my puns. those are real.)

so, right, sleep around 4:30. woke up at one point afraid i was going to have to throw up but it turned out to be just some difficult, prolonged gas, i guess. which is still extra tricky to deal with when i shaved (finally) on thursday. probably woke up for good somewhere in the 9ish hour. such good spooning. such a comfy bed. so novel to look at his face as much as i want while he’s sleeping.

aaaaand from like 9:30 to 2p we were fooling around again. listening to childish gambino stations and kanye and getting eaten out and talking about “depeche mode-inspired activities”. i didn’t quite get it right when he was talking abt his, i tried to turn his thing about casual domming into an immediate thing and idt it even registered to him as anything other than pushiness. and then i thoughtlessly constructed an example scenario that directly specifically included the thing he’d just said he didn’t want. ugh.

i’m too tired to write much more now, but i just…. i hope that i don’t wake up tomorrow sick of myself and all my relationships. it makes sense if so, but i’m hoping that maybe continuing to think about everything i just did, and trying to integrate it so i can do better next time, will alleviate that nausea and rejection and whiplash between being around people and being alone.

hey body sorry for all the wild stress, have a scone and a double sleep, ok?

line of sight

i am sick, probably with strep, and probably should be resting instead of writing this. my mind feels too unquiet to sleep just yet, though. aside from the whole “being tired” thing. 😛 i just mean shit feels unfinished, some kind of emotional shit.

things have continued going great w/r. it’s fucking weird that i can say “things” and “continued” like that, given how much time in the last few weeks i’ve spent vacillating between extremes of in-the-moment dopamine (+whatever else) rushes of us getting physical, and this complete calm-within-upset certainty that it’s incredibly temporary, or meaningless, or already over, or that i fucked it up, or anything. it feels old even though i probably haven’t framed it this way for more than a couple days. and probably didn’t do so consistently even within that time.

friday night is worth mentioning. somehow in whatever emotional state fueled my previous post, i failed to note that i spent a lot of friday night with rushi. i honestly can’t remember how melissa left us alone, but she did at some point, and after that point, i blew r for like two hours and didn’t let him come the entire time. he was so good. so hot. by the end, i was wet to the touch from the very top to the bottom of my slit. i will not soon forget the sight of him throwing his arms out to either side, trying to control himself. nor the fact that he said the experience “transcended a blowjob,” and later, that I’d “found [my] calling.” honey, not everyone reacts as beautifully as you do.

and then last night.

we’d already established that m & i were both sick, so previous dinner plans got solidified as “r makes soup for sick people” plans. he made chicken soup from scratch, and it was fucking incredible. SO LEGIT. so delicious and wholesome. we all watched bojack until m’s python tutoring appointment, and then r turned on In The Pale Moonlight (which he saved for watching with us) and turned on the hitachi magic wand he’d brought with him, and put it on me for…. over an hour. it was fun but also dear god my pussy is actually kinda bruised now. i’d have thought i’d come more often, but it turns out aim and consistency actually matter, even at high powers. we played more orgasm denial games and i didn’t feel like i was very good at it. he liked some of my reactions, and my wordplay/puns were on point throughout, which felt great. sometimes i felt like my reactions weren’t very attractive to him. hard to tell, given my level of distraction. i also failed on multiple occasions to answer episode-related questions he would ask.

he whispers. it’s really hot.

/non-linear, but it was super gratifying to come home and have him already kinda intoxicated, enough to disclose personal things more freely? he kept exclaiming about how good i smelled, complaining that he couldn’t kiss me because of the probable strep, leaning towards me even w/m around.

also yesterday i learned that the first girl he ever danced with was named… stephanie something? and it was to Truly Madly Deeply by Savage Garden and she was wearing a crushed velvet dress, lol. also that he cheated on a gf in high school w/her best friend.

he asked me about my cuts. like, straight-up brought it up by himself and was plain and nonjudgmental and curious and he DID HOMEWORK. he said he did some reading about it to try to understand better, before even asking me. so fucking cute! so fucking sweet. i don’t deserve him. and also he mentioned knowing some people who were waaaaay more extreme with it and had literal piles of their own flesh?

then, yeah, the magic wand, and lots of being vocal and tense and trying to be better at the game. i don’t think i’m quite successfully obedient enough to play elsewhere/in other ways. sigh. i don’t want to disappoint him. getting a reaction out of him from the smallest movement.

then…. affection. thank god. he actually admitted in a roundabout way that he would prefer to come sleep in my room with me rather than on the couch, although he ended up choosing to stay out there for some damn reason (given the annoying indigestion i was dealing with, it kinda worked out for the best in the short-term). he called me wonderful.

woke up the next morning, had trouble getting out of bed, and round about 7:40, R poked his head (adorable) over the door frame. i’m so glad i was already awake so i could invite him to come over, sit, then lie down, then cuddle with me under the covers, then back to grinding and grabbing each other and making small noises. he’s so fucking attractive.

also omg this is TWICE now he’s said I’m basically Jadzia. Biggest compliment.

takeaways as far as my sleep-addled brain can remember:

  • he responds to dirty talk that’s more realistic and succinct than most folks i’ve dealt with. which is great and refreshing, but also, hard to do on the spot, for me. xP i haven’t quite figured out how to consistently push his buttons, yet. you know me and words.
  • i gotta gotta gotta keep working on me, being more curious, and also balancing work + relationships. caaaaause he could do a lot better than m & i.
  • also gotta work on actually thinking about orgasm denial things so i can do it better in the moment regardless of what’s on my junk. it’s p much never occurred to me to try to mentally redirect.
  • dammit there was more than this earlier, before i nodded off 5 million times

so yeah that was a jumble of facts with no linearity but okay

then today…. this afternoon. after this morning at all, i guess. i just feel kinda unhappy and i’m not sure why. maybe it’s just that i’m getting really shitty dumb dependency on the endogenous drugs he’s making me feel. maybe it’s my ever-present anxiety that i’m going to fuck this up by not feeling enough.

whatever it was, i was sad and full of ennui, but now i’m too tired to think.

unless

another week, hah.

after working on that last entry for a while, i did end up cutting my thigh. did i mention that? *bothers checking* looks like it didn’t make it in, no. it’s probably been at least half a year. i guess doing real things that i care about and am interested in kinda…. brings up real emotions and issues, instead of letting me exist in a meaningless limbo where nothing touches me and i just think that it does because i’ve forgotten how to be a person.

but yeah. a couple of them were really good, like, multiple drops even with blotting and not pulling the cuts apart or rubbing them with a wet washcloth to prevent clotting. it was briefly satisfying.

other things i did that night: put all my feelings on M without actually being direct/honest with her about why i felt that way or why i was talking to her about it. that was a shitty thing to do and i should apologize because it’s not fair to her, and she was very kind and better at boundaries during the whole thing. :/

the next day… woof, i was actually kinda hungover. I remember taking chicken broth in a thermos as my breakfast. Lu and I have been enabling the shit out of each other wrt spending money on coffee and lunches. it’s fun and it seems like we both enjoy spending time with each other and buying foods and drinks is a good way to spend time together while still under the umbrella of the working day. getting to hang out with him and be a fucking dweeb w/ him helps a fair bit when i feel like garbage about relationship stuff.

the flip side of thaaaaaaaaaat is that i am not being a good busy season employee. I came in late twice this week, at least, and i feel like G has walked in on me texting and talking to Lu too many times recently. It’s… not good. There was one day where–oh wait, it was the day of hangover that I was describing earlier–I turned off my phone in the morning so I wouldn’t be tempted to check messages constantly and respond constantly and be on that rollercoaster in general. (wait, seriously? is “rollercoaster” not a real compound word? browser spell-check thinks not) it was kind of good, although as with most measures in that vein, once i checked it once, it was hard to stop the snowball back to habit.

it’s the next morning now. anyway.

if i can just do a better job of going to bed early, it would help start everything off less irresponsibly…

i gotta…. i don’t know. it’s hard to hold all these thoughts in my head. on the one hand, i have no idea what it’s like to live my adult life for myself, by myself, for 8 years. maybe talking to people that interest me wouldn’t… cut the same way after that much practice staying separate. or that i wouldn’t feel the same urge to… fill a perceived hole, to soothe and reassure someone else with the presence/confirmation of my own feelings and interest. i have no idea. when i look around… i see some mixed-ass messages. yes, he’s here a lot, but that could easily be for himself more than for the specific people here. alternately, for one of us but not so much the other. I don’t know how to engage him in conversation and get it to fucking stick. more insecure parts of me are inclined to think that means he doesn’t see me as having similar enough interests or intelligence to have the kinds of conversations that he wants to have, or something like that. it doesn’t seem like m has the same difficulty keeping him occupied and engaged. i’m lucky if i can get an on-level response to a dirty text, like, once in a row. it sounds like he actually… actively propositions her even when she’s not trying at all. “he prefers something else.”

well, now i’m sad. i’m trying to figure out my plans for today. m hasn’t woken up quite yet, and once she does, it’ll be that much harder to do things for myself. if i wanted to go the escapism route, i’d go fuckin’ buy a coffee and drive somewhere at least an hour away. but i know how that goes… it’s…. not as helpful as all that unless i keep busy. too easy to make it about whatever i’m escaping, with a thick helping of nostalgia over the top d/t wherever I decided to go lick my wounds. my perceived wounds.

i will be amused if this actually turns out to be a bit of a weird love triangle. like, even though we’re all together, each person is turned more towards one and away from the other, and none of us meeting anyone else’s eyes.

the other option is to try to stick it out, finally do the brewery thing with m, invite r along since he’s always asking about “the next adventure”, and do something kinda new and scary… by which i mean driving in the city to pick him up, lmao. i guess the street parking and city driving is more novel than any of the other parts. it sounds exciting, but that’s probably only because of the prospect of r coming along.

i have work i should be doing, anyway. laundry and healthcare and various educational prospects.

how about let’s start by getting a local copy of some recently purchased music, eh, dipshit?

 

on its last leg

drunk and bad at emotional regulation and scratching up my own arms while listening to that one playlist that i titled “Mar 3, 2012, 8:00 PM”

i should be dead

i should be dead

i should be dead

i should be dead

i should be dead

i should be dead

i should be dead

this keyboard has some pretty great action. i can’t hear how loud it is over my headphones, but i bet it’s clackety as hell.

am i gonna try to unpack this? if i do, i bet i’ll have to throw up.

so far in this whole polyamory ~thing~, i haven’t gotten the balance right at all. ever. i always feel like shit when i do it but also i don’t want it any other way. it’s just more real. but i’m REALLY FUCKING BAD AT IT. I always feel worthless and unwanted and second-best in at least one direction, possibly double-replaced. Not like I’ve been able to access those feelings lately, when connecting them to the M i still know and love.

no, it’s….. this triad of whatever the fuck. i don’t feel secure. i don’t feel like i can ask for reassurance or whatever without upsetting a delicate balance, and i have no idea what the new guy wants. but i have a shitty fucking crush on him and i should probably not spend so much of my free time with him. i should probably just be dead instead because i’m not a worthwhile person. nobody likes me or bothers talking to me unless convenient. i must be hard to get to know somehow, i guess, but i don’t know how to be less so.

i want to drive to the capitol this weekend and just…. be by myself. sulk like a fucking baby. use my damn car for once. but idk where to sleep for free without a tent. where can i park my car and not be bothered?

is it me, is it my problem, how the fuck do i step off

i should be dead

i should be dead

can you see, can you see in the dark, the look on your face? the flashing white light’s been turned off; you don’t know who’s in your bed.

this is fucking pathetic. this is …. an endogenous drug, and i’m reacting to my own prediction of its cutoff. dear coquette, you’ve said “love is one helluva drug.” but what phrase or term would you use for the feelings shallower than love? they still feel like a helluva drug rn, i’m kinda wrecked on it, kinda really addicted, kind of a horrible dependent person who doesn’t do anything

oh look it’s the next morning
