hey y'all - I just caught up on all the action from the past week, and the conversations here are giving me life. it feels so necessary to be exchanging perspectives with a group like this, coming from all kinds of different backgrounds. it's a real highlight of the week for me and fills my heart <3
no need to belabor the conversation - but just to say that I've been hanging with a straight guy friend recently (my first straight guy friend in years!), and it's been really great. I didn't realize it would be! it recently occurred to me that I don't have to feel ashamed of wanting to identify as both a man - and very much with womanhood, as well. of course, not having to feel ashamed is very different from actually *not* feeling ashamed, if that makes sense, but I was glad for the realization. as all have said, way complicated.
I also want to share some big news, which is that I just beat cancer. I was diagnosed at the end of last year and was in treatment most of this year - I guess "beat" is pretty relative (always a chance of having to deal with this again), but it was the best possible scenario and for now I'm in remission. :D it felt important to tell you all.
also - "Hi guys. I doubt anyone remember me from 10 years ago. Just wanted to pop in. *Goes back to lurking.*

That is awesome news Swen!
Today my plan is to relax, enjoy gnocchi for lunch (the sauce is simmering), practice cello for a few hours, swim, play video games, and not do anything even remotely resembling "work".
Tomorrow I plan to work all day and then sing karaoke with friends in the evening.

I was feeling like I wanted to enter into a large-scale collaborative artistic project with somebody in particular. This person is not a close friend, but we've known each other for twenty years, seem to have a deep connection, and have worked on small projects here and there. I called him and made my pitch and he said, "the best part of this suggestion is how excited I'd be to work with you again" and I had the biggest dopamine rush. I am excited! excited to be excited about work again.

I have an assignation on Friday with a longtime acquaintance -- we graduated college together and have several common friends without he and I ever becoming friends ourselves -- who after 20 years realized I'm hot.

what does he look like
He's actually a public figure -- or was. He was the boyfriend of a dude who starred in "The Real World" in the mid '90s. He's now a reporter for a major daily.
