danaerisGood: I've lost enough weight that my pretty new purple corset closes in the front AND back, all the way.
Bad: This means that I'm going to have to get it altered if I lose much more weight over the next few weeks. *sadness*
Good: My article was in the paper this morning.
Bad: They spelt my last name WRONG. It's spelt with an n, not an m. Bloody bastards. I wonder if it is unreasonable to email my editor and ask them to fix it in the online database.
Good: I postered several venues for the poly social yesterday, including CAYA, Bakka, Hell's Belle's (formerly Siren), North Bound Leather, and TO Kink.
Bad: I missed a few key locations, including Good For Her and the 519 and possibly the Occult Shop
Good: So far, the response has been amazingly positive.
Bad: Best not to get my hopes up, because it may take months to build the event up.
Story: Our first stop on the postering run was CAYA. I put up the poster, and was immediately questioned by an attractive young lady who had been examining the flyers. She attends an alternative high school, and is taking a class focused on LGBT stuff. They had a whole unit on polyamory and monogamy, framed in terms of examining it in the context of a variety of ethical systems (different religions and philosophies).
We spoke for a while, and then I gave her a card. She is passing the info onto some of the poly kids in her class. Nifty! I cautioned her not to announce it to the entire class, because we didn't want this to turn into a "study the polys in their natural habitat" thing. She seemed very mature and aware of the consequences her actions could take, so I think it will be fine.
By the time we left the store ~15 min later, someone else had torn off one of the email address tabs. Score!
