Some of it is bizarre and traumatic, as
daegaer said, but mostly I giggled all the way down, and thought they'd be great background animals for sci-fi stories: Human Descent
-----------------------------------------
I should probably whine on the polyamory group, but what's the point...
I'm trying to rededicate my emotions to the idea of finding another girlfriend. I mucked about with personals ads for years and met some wonderful people, but the relationship I wanted didn't develop. Now I've got people advising me to hang around bars, and that doesn't thrill me - I don't really like randomly talking to strangers. I'm not a conversationalist. I'm a fine listener, I think, I just can't make conversation out of nothing at all, which is what one has at a bar. People often suggest joining interest groups, but often members of such groups restrict their interactions in the group to the specific topic the group is about. I suppose I COULD join an actual RL writing group, but then I might be required to actually write, and give feedback.;) That might be good for me, anyway. I've met several people I find very interesting and fascinating in the online groups I'm in, but they represent a small percentage of a very specific style of writing. Probably literally one in a thousand. I'd be lucky as hell to find one other slash fanfic writer in Portland, Maine, let alone one who was so amazingly cool as, say,
daegaer,
afrai,
lekythen or
lacorneille.
