I have been "offline" for a long time. It has really been months, with one little post that filled the gap for those months. And when I posted the blog entry, I intended on started to write again. Guess what, I didn't start writing again.
I wanted to write that I was involved in some international incident, that I was denied internet access until former President of the United States Bill Clinton rescued me and my lesbian lover after months of captivity. But that is not what happened.
I wanted to say that my house was attacked by aliens that placed transceivers in humans to control them, but that is not what happened.
I wanted to say that I was finishing up a book about mitochondrial DNA synthesis, and its applications on sheep duplication, thus ending the worth's wool shortage. But that is not what happened.
I guess not one thing happened. A culmination of things, but the biggest one is that I am doing a bit more work at work. What the heck were they thinking? I wrote about work and pay and how promotions are not necessarily a good thing. A ton more work for $2K a year is not my idea of a good deal.
Anyway, I have thought about writing, and then I thought about the relative value of my time. We do this all of the time, you know? For instance . . . .
When one decides to take a long bath instead of a ten minute shower, you are deciding to spend time out of your day for a bath. And there is probably a reason behind spending that additional time.
Sex can be the same way. For married people, if we wanted, we could have sex until we could not walk anymore. And there probably is a reason we don't have sex all of the time. Remember when you were first married? Or first sexual in a committed relationship? How often was the sex? Well, maybe it was very often. There are lots of things to do, but the satisfaction from sex outweighed doing the dishes, even if you hated dirty dishes. Or later in a relationship, it does not have to be about sexual gratification. If you and your husband are trying to get pregnant, perhaps you had sex all of the time (during the right times) to try and get pregnant. Even if you did not enjoy the sex - and sex for babies gets old really fast.
"Honey, don't worry about foreplay. Just get it over so I can vacuum the carpet."
Yes, vacuuming the carpet is more enjoyable than baby-making sex if it is six months without no pregnancy.
I guess I am getting a bit far afield, but I enjoy the whole "economics" view of the world. There was a book that was popular a few years ago called Freakonomics, and I enjoyed it because it talked about this sort of thing - well, not these examples or even this logic, but it gave me ideas that I now use in my thinking. There have been several other economics books that have been popular as well. I know it sounds like driving an ice pick into your eye would be as pleasant, but they are interesting ideas.
Anyway, from time to time, I have ideas and I have wanted to express them on this blog. Because I have not really been around much, I have just thought "Eh."You know, giving a non-committal utterance.
Two things have happened recently that have been pushing me in a different direction: (1) I got a note from a very popular YouTube person (I know, gag me; but she also has a blog and she can really write) and was touched by her words, and (2) someone with sexual addiction is communicating with me and I am revealing my experiences on the road to recovery. I wrote about it here and here and probably other places. My blog was a starting point, but we are chatting about tools to use to get away from the bad behavior.
Above I mentioned an interest in economics. My job has nothing to do with economics, but I enjoy the thought process - do I spend my money on X or wait and save for Y. And more close to home, do I spend limited time writing a blog or writing a book. Well, all of this time away from the blog was not spent knocking out the first two riveting chapters of a book. It was spent doing work (which I derive only modest benefit from, aside from my paycheck) and spending more time at lunch.
Anyway, I miss writing and may start to write again (and you don't have to believe I am starting; I won't until I see if I write some more). I hear items on the news, and I just want to write about them. I experience something weird in an elevator, and my mind starts writing the post. So I have missed this forum, and I have missed writing others. Perhaps, perhaps, instead of walking to the coffee shop two streets over, I will write an ill-conceived blog entry for a few to read.
This has nothing to do with this post, but I have been dabbling in an online strategy game based on the seedy side of life. But the game is really more about economics than sex and violence. I don't get into the role-playing, really, but I enjoy figuring out how to spend limited time and energy in the game to maximize the gains (money, experience, and other gains). I am not recommending the game, per se, but if you want to check it out, it is located here. And if you think the game is just a way of having some sexual gratification, you will be disappointed. There are a few steamy photos, but they are not that erotic (e.g., they don't do anything for me). They would embarrass you at work more than anything. Oh, and they are not Asian women, so Grant, you would not like it. You know, there are probably a bunch of erotic photos, now that I think about it, because users can create a customized signature page, and they can be quite crude. I play with the images turned off in my web browser (sex addicts do that, you know), so I sometimes forget about how most see the game.

Per your profile, your occupation is: Administrative Flirt
Does the fact that you are working more mean that you are now flirting overtime? ;)
I'm glad your passion for writing pulled you back into blogging again. I toggled to both of your stories - amazing. I've always wondered why most psychotherapists assume that people with a certain sexual behavior or sexual lifestyle had to have been abused in the past. I've never been sexually abused as a child, yet I'm a lesbian and I have been through a little of what you described in the linked posts above. With little to be said about that, I give you credit for being such a strong woman. :)
Glad you're back!
Malach will turn you into a Dungeons and Dragons geek like himself if it is the last thing he ever does.
1 - yes, sex for a baby that doesn't come is horrid. 2 years of that mess.
2- I'm glad you are back to blogging, even if it is totally random entries. I'll take it.
3 - who's the famous youtuber? (i'm nosey like that).
4 - it's great that you can use your experiences to help someone else out.
5- i am not much into on-line games. But Malach, I would gladly sit in the D&D game :)
I haven't been able to write since I got ill about 15 months ago. I'm not sure if that part of me will ever come back. I've just maintained the blog as a means of dealing with boredom and loneliness. That, and because the Internet does not have enough pictures of hot Asian women.
I am glad you are back.
Ah -- sex in the early days of a relationship when too much is not enough. Sigh.
I'm glad you're back too! I'm on that role-playing site too. How do I interact with you there?
Just read the links. It is not the mistake but the effort in correcting it. I admire your resolve
