...luring disco dollies to a life of vice...

About Me

I'm a bit of a mess. I'm a reckless ex-activist girl. Vegan, but not self-righteous and far from straightedge. I smoke, I drink and I drug a little. I can get all dolled up to go out and I can crash in the park for days with homeless friends. I've got a few piercings; septum, labret, navel and nipples. I'm generally up for anything. I think morals are silly, but I find myself clinging to a few so I can justify my anger. I'm still trying to find the ambition and direction I had before I graduated high school, but in the meantime I keep busy by making a huge mess of my life. What have I got to lose?
I'm not a sweet girl. Well, that's not true. If you're looking for sweet-as-pie sweet, look elsewhere. I'm sweet like an Adderall drip. When I go out, I drink more than I should and wear less than I should. I think German is sexier than French or Italian. I don't live with my parents and I went from working in a porn shop to doing porn, so I don't tone down. It's hard for me to have a normal conversation without getting into some gross sex story. I actually can pull off the mature, responsible act for job interviews and family gatherings and whatnot. I'm articulate and thoughtful enough to relax (read: fool) parents, despite my appearance.
Yes, I did say I do porn. That doesn't mean I'll sleep with you. That also doesn't mean I'm a desperate whore. I don't do anything for money that I'd be horribly opposed to doing for free. I do it because I love sex. I do it because I feel like a whore getting $7.00 an hour to wait on irate assholes with a million coupons and no reading comprehension skills while their ten kids tear apart everything in sight. So many people insist that women should be using their minds to make money and not their bodies, but I've been told I was smart all my life. I'm confident in my mental ability. Body image is something I struggled with for a long time. No matter how smart you are, you're stuck in your body. If you're unhappy with it, it carries over into everything you do. I go for opportunities if they'll help me to grow as a person, regardless of what other people think. I've learned that the people who are really important in life are the people who can understand the things that are important to you, or at least respect your choices and support you in your efforts because they know how much it means to you.
Oddly enough, I'm really shy in certain situations, and people tend to assume I'm just stuck up because it's so random. I'm terrible at expressing emotions, but when I do, I'm logical and rational about it. If I can't say it, I don't expect anyone to get it. I don't do the passive-aggressive thing, and I don't have time for it. I'm sick of people who are emotionally reckless. If you can't deal with your problem, don't take it out on people who have nothing to do with it. Be direct and honest if it's something someone needs to know. If someone upsets you, let them know or suck it up.
Hmmm, well now I feel I need to end this section with something more positive, so I'll tell you some things you might not expect. I really like kittens. I secretly like to cuddle, though I'll rarely initiate or ask for any kind of affection. I still sleep with stuffed animals. There are usually at least two teddy bears in my bed (sitting amongst all my sex toys). I tend to be shy around most girls. I'm very aware of the fact that I don't think like a typical girl, and for some reason it takes me a while to get comfortable with them. They just make me feel like I'm walking on eggshells. I love gardening and fresh vegetables. I also love to cook, and I'm really good at it...though that's my only domestic skill.
Oh, and you can see me naked here:

My Interests

Music, Film, Parties, Drunken Field Trips, Clubs, Pornography, Pain, Piercings, Tattoos, Deviance, Cheap Wine, Stimulants, Spanging in NYC, Stalking the Troma Team, Antisocial Interaction, Making Out, Living Like a Rockstar on a Poor Girl's Income, Making Light of Horrible Situations, Drugs (Street and Prescription--Mine and Yours), Blood Drives, Public Sex, Scrabble....

I'd like to meet:

Bad boys and dirty girls. You know, some foul-mouthed, deviant scumbags. I need someone to be a bad influence. I want to meet people who can shock me. I'd like to meet someone who's able to recognize the difference between aversion and inhibition and knows how to get past the latter. Somehow I've acquired a reputation for being a bad girl, and I guess there's some truth to that. I know they say opposites attract, but in terms of romance, I want someone who can keep up. It seems like bad boys are all looking for good girls and vice versa, and they just want to change each other. Call me lazy, but I'm not into fixer-uppers. I don't want to find myself in some miserable marriage in a few years writing and re-writing letters to Dear Abby in the bedroom while my husband spends nights on the couch watching shitty porn and drinking beer. Okay, you're right. It would probably be the other way around, but still....

That's not to say that I have no use for the happy and wholesome though. I wouldn't mind meeting people who would just be willing to go see indie movies and play Scrabble. We could go to art galleries and yard sales. We could rent videos and order Chinese food. Yeah, that would be nice too.

Oh, I don't want to meet any more liars. As it is, there are so many dishonest people in my life that I can't even get rid of them yet without finding myself really lonely. I've just learned not to trust most people or to limit my trust to certain areas. I'm probably the most understanding person I know, so there's no reason to lie to me. I don't even appreciate tiny lies to protect my feelings, because it just ends up making things worse when I find out the truth. Again, I'm terrible with emotions. I tend to not say anything about a lot of things, but I'm not stupid and I don't appreciate dishonesty for any reason.

Now that all that's out of the way, feel free to send me a message and/or add me, though if there's not much on your profile that tells me about you, please send me a little note explaining why you'd like to be my friend. I swear I'm a nice girl for the most part, a little shy even. Chances are I'd like to hear from you.... If not then I'll try my hardest to tell you gently that you bore me to death or I think you're a fucking jerk. If I don't get back to you right away, I'm probably just really busy or I've forgotten. If your message was, "Wuz good ma," or something similar, I'm probably just not interested though.

Run Away With Me

I can't do this anymore. I can't be here. I'm losing my mind in a really terrible way. I feel like I used to be a wild, crazy free spirit, and now I'm slipping into a dark, calm, solitary craziness......

2007

So 2007 is coming to an end. I can't say I'm sorry to see it go. I just wish I could see things like everyone else seems to, feel like tomorrow is something more significant than the day after today. ...

House Re-Heating?

So as I was preparing my apartment for...well, living, I made a terrible discovery. When I set off the fogger, I didn't put away a bunch of sex toys. Now a few could be boiled or bleached, but ma...

Claiming Addiction as a Cop-Out

So I was having a conversation with a friend fairly recently, and we were discussing sex addiction. He was saying how his was a contributing factor in the horrible ending of our friendship. I half agr...

I just might disappear for a bit. I don't know what I'm doing, but I can't do this much longer. I just lost a good friend. Father's Day already had some difficult significance, and receiving this news...

The Year So Far (Cross-Posted to My Other Blog)

If it was my sins Jesus died for, the Bible would have been a hell of a lot more interesting.

So today I was so angry and frustrated all day. I kind of felt like I was going backwards since the big revelation. I thought I was done getting angry and getting closer to letting go of old anger. I ...

"...and maybe some faith would do me good."

So last night I went to a party. I bought a pill even though it was over-priced. I was a little hesitant, but one pill wouldn't break the bank. A lot of people at the party had some sort of connection...
