bootygrrl, grrl on the loose, reporting from michigan. it is a cool day, the clouds slither across the sky, slowly, and the awaited thunderstorms are looming in the distance - i know they are...

i am visiting at B&K's lovely, and huge, house and meeting their tiny, and bright eyed, daughter. they have a comfortable house, one you can lay back and sink in to, one you can feel at home in - course that probably has to do a lot with the people who live here. yesterday and the day before was my visit to succubus and her beaux, her home although mini was super comfy as well. i am so unused to feeling so welcome and loved - although the rest of the people in the state (grumpy-grumps they are) seem to lack a bit in the welcoming attitude department.

in my little bubble world i never realize how much i miss my kindred, there are flashes here and there of course, but being in their presence is a wonderful and terribly sad experience, as i already miss them and realize the empty place that exists when they are not around. i think i avoided obviously crying when saying goodbye to succubus yesterday, emotional grrl that i am (emogrrl?) and i hope her and her beaux will be able to come out this weekend, although the distance makes such things difficult and time consuming.

i miss my tt, his smile, his arms - my darling will be calling me soon i hope. so interesting and bizarre to bond with others while he was not around (i hope we have enough pictures for the short documentary. *wink*) there was a good balance of talking and (...) and here's to open minds and new experiences - and a call out for positive reinforcement. next time, if, i will be in the corset (!!)

i know not what is on the roster for the rest of the trip - methinks it will include lots of great conversation, indian food (?), campus maps, burping and gas (after all there is a baby here, heh), some terribly good beer and - and thunderstorms!
