  • I never used to plan more than a year in the future. Now my plans span a decade. How utterly weird. #
  • Notes to self: in out more, laugh hard, wear lace, dance on Saturdays, drink more Manhattans. #
  • @maymaym @tylerthepup Right now the idea is very new, developing, and lacking authoritative leadership. Happy to talk (informally) offline. in reply to maymaym #
  • Tried to find a weekend to come into the office. Realized my weekends are booked full thru Labor Day. At least they are full of good things. #
  • Anybody have plans for March 5th, 2010? Want to come see Tim Burton & Johnny Depp’s Alice in Wonderland on IMAX with me? http://tr.im/uiwx #
  • Frayed afternoon follows my 2nd restless night. Four espresso shots and a Red Bull later, I get the message. Sleep is a habit, not a luxury. #
  • @zacmakes comes next week to visit. Charmingly, he says he’ll keep us both slept & fed in the days before #KFANYC2. His optimism amuses me. #
  • @gabrieldain Hey! Are you taking alumni submissions? Also, I see you now rule the Writer’s Soc with an iron fist. Well done, sir. Well done. in reply to gabrieldain #
  • All 3 latest OkCupid mssages: “Think you’re cool, but don’t have time to write more right now. Let’s talk!” Somewhat transparent excuse, no? #
  • Standing on the platform in the heat and rain, frazzled NYC residents look like colorful, leafy vegetables wilting in a steamer. #
  • RT @KinkForAll Bringing something to #KFANYC2? Equipment, food, supplies, caffeine? Let us know on the inventory page: http://tr.im/uK2X #

  • @underwatercolor drove from Albany, brought me single malt scotch, helped me finish painting my room and introduced me to Dr. Who. Hell yea. #
  • Reconnected Sunday w/ a slice of the community I haven’t seen in ages. New faces, old jokes, sexy people, good ideas. Glad to be back, NYC. #
  • @viviane212 Thank you so much! in reply to viviane212 #
  • @onelifetaketwo You want rent for this dump? There are cracks in the ceiling and I keep tripping over naked people. Too many dark corners! in reply to onelifetaketwo #
  • Last night @Celany, @SoraiLaFey, @MajaMajaMaja & I held an impromptu council, Fury-esque. Conclusion? Boys are stupid. Throw rocks at them. #
  • @MajaMajaMaja @Celany @SoraiLaFey Alternate interpretations of our council’s assessment? Besides that the Haven (our apartment) is awesome? in reply to MajaMajaMaja #
  • @MajaMajaMaja @SoraiLaFey @Celany And then the floor ate her. in reply to MajaMajaMaja #
  • Hero crush: @penelopetrunk. http://tr.im/tr30. “When u think u cannot tell someone something abt yourself, ask yourself, ‘Really, why not?’” #
  • Put on femme-drag this morning: retro dress, pearls, strappy sandals. Forgot until I was on the train: am having dinner w/ @mrsexsmith. Hmm. #
  • @denieal I was thinking more like pebbles. I think bricks would be upgrading. in reply to denieal #
  • @Celany To clarify: I meant tht I dressed extremely femme, which doesn’t line up w/ my typical gender presentation. Not negative! Different. in reply to Celany #
  • In researching coffee machines, I learned that ThinkGeek makes caffeinated pixie sticks: http://tr.im/tAsj I find this a delightful concept. #
  • @DirtyCarrie Ah ha ha! Close enough. That was about my first reaction anyway. *grin* in reply to DirtyCarrie #
  • SO glad that terrifying WW2 gas-mask creepy children episode of Dr. Who has amazing adorable payoff. Everybody lives, Rose! Everybody lives! #
  • @barrysaunders Also, at the end of Titanic, the ship sinks. Just so you know. in reply to barrysaunders #
  • @loapathy Aw…why do you think the ending ruined the episode? You are just adverse to cuteness? in reply to loapathy #

  • 1st day of work at Landmark Ventures! They say: “Do what you like, just be productive and get quality work done.” I love this plan. Love it. #
  • Dear CV folks: Casual meetup 8pm tomorrow to think about forming an alum/similar group. Come if you can, share ideas. DM fr address/details. #
  • I thought I wanted rest, recuperation and happiness this spring. Only happiness materialized, hand in hand with rampant activity and stress. #
  • RT @KinkForAll Announcing #KFANYC2 date, time & venue! Saturday August 8th 11am-6pm at the GayCenter.org, 208 W13th St! http://tr.im/kfanyc2 #
  • @writingdirty I love the idea of having some sort of dinner after #KFANYC2! Let me know what you come up with? Have to plan event first :) . in reply to writingdirty #
  • @mrsexsmith Yes it is. Did the best I could w/ available dates. #KFANYC2 is in 24 days. But you know what? We can *totally* pull that off. in reply to mrsexsmith #
  • Quiet moment, lounging couch-ish. Doing financial & wiki stuff for #KFANYC2. Soon, pesto pasta, then incredibly well-deserved early bedtime. #

  • 4th of July traffic is kind so far. Woke up happy. Day is gorgeous. Tomorrow there will be fireworks, seafood, fat boats in bright harbors. #
  • I can sing a dozen musicals front to back. I know the words to hundreds of albums. Dear brain, where are you keeping all of this stuff? #
  • In Maine, I gather wayward odds & ends. Five pairs of black leather boots jumble on the floor, steel toe to platform heel. I pack them all. #
  • Sit down to 4th of July lunch with boating friends. Puppy begs for lobster. Then thick clouds roll in, lightning cracks, we run for cover. #
  • Hailstorm! #
  • Sailboats venture out again. When the storm passes, pockets of snow dot the island. Snowballs in July? Dear Maine, I love you. #
  • The fog has lifted. Around the harbor boats test their horns. A band plays, the moon comes out. The fireworks barge gears up. Night falls. #
  • Wrapped in a sleeping bag on the bow, grinning and gleefully happy. Cue the decorative explosions. #
  • Happy birthday, @maymaym. #
  • We stop on a mooring at Cliff Island for sleep, salmon, fresh-baked bread, a hunt for yellow periwinkles. Home next. On the road tonight. #
  • Pumping gas at a highway station. A sudden lightning storm comes from nowhere and knocks the power out! I get away from the gasoline, fast. #
  • Dear world! I have a job! #
  • Writing! Research! (Some marketing!) Venture capital! Landmark Ventures! (Will stop using exclamation points now!) Has wine. Celebration. #
  • @unspeakableaxe Thank you too! You’re a fun host. Maybe next time I’ll let you publish some of the racy bits. in reply to unspeakableaxe #
  • Coffee and diet Pepsi next to each other in mugs; I refresh the coffee from the soda bottle and pour milk into the pepsi. SMRT – that’s me! #
  • Hey @KinkForAll folks! Potential venue August 8th fr #KFANYC2 at the Center! Can we raise the $850 needed? Please give feedback on the list! #

  • Scratch the no-sugar-drowned-in-skim. From now on, when possible, I am drinking my coffee with honey and soy milk. #FancyFood, you spoil me. #
  • At sunset, flash thunderstorm drenched the streets. Afterward the sky was luminous, gilded pink. A good night full of new and old memories. #
  • Full arch rainbow over Manhattan right now! #
  • 7 am at the Javits on Sunday. The show opens in three hours. Building staff have a base next to my booth. They feed me donuts. #
  • Four expresso companies within 30 feet of my booth. They’re all bribing me! The caffeine, it terrifys. #
  • Curry, pesto, chocolate, lemonade, honey, salad and peaches for lunch. Meanwhile the Italian pavilion exhibitors keep bringing me cheese. #
  • It’s scary late. I have work at 7am. But worth it: Room has paint! Sleeping in a room & bed that belong to me, for the 1st time in 3 months. #
  • My uncle is attending the show. He comes to visit me, and gently deposits into my hands a truffle the size of an egg. #
  • #FancyFood attendees can’t take food off the show floor. I feel bad for the security guards who stop the disappointed hordes at the door. #
  • @viviane212 So much cheese. SO MUCH. in reply to viviane212 #
  • Traveling again: Providence, Boothbay Harbor, perhaps Vermont. Contemplative. Bus wanders through alternating marshlands and power stations. #
  • Thinking on @maymaym as he lands in San Francisco. Full of affection, hope & amusement at weirdness. Glad to see forward motion all around. #
