c r 0 w l i will touch you 080627

unhinged fingers intwined
squeezing

i could sit that way with you forever; affection is oddly lacking and sorely needed in my life.

anouk yes you'll have to give me time
go slow
let me get used to this

it's all new to me you see
i suspect that this is quite unusual

and i told you i'm crazy, didn't i?
so i've warned you about that
it's not rational, you can't argue with it

when i'm with you, it's ok
when you're not here i start fraying at the edges

i don't know why i trust you
i don't know why i feel so comfortable
i'm freaked out by now not freaked out i am

and i think that sex with you is going to be great
and i think maybe i'll be ready sooner than i expected
but i'm not going to tell you
and i'm not going to tell you just how little experience i've had until we are really ready

and i love the feel of you
and the sound of you
and the smell of you
and i'm trying to concentrate on those things, to help me past the crazy

it could be great
i think this could be really great

ever dumbening she's an aesthetician, a healer, a hedonist. so when she takes my hand in hers, i delight. pull bend rub poke. fingers in palms knuckles tips muscle skin. i can't seem to get enough. 080630

birdmad (reminiscent) she used to tell me my hands were hot, i used to tell her it was the only way to know i was blushing 080630
...
unhinged i think good hands are hot. i guess it's cause i work with mine. 080630
...
unhinged also, it annoys me when people give limp wimpy handshakes. my hands are tiny but strong. i can handle it. 080630
...
past they're probably not giving wimpy handshakes because of you, but because that's the only kind they know how to give. 080701
...
birdmad it's a socialization thing (at least from my own experience)

there's a tendency to give a lady a gentle, polite handshake while conversely trying to 'send a message' by exchanging as firm or strong a handshake as possible with another man in some attempt to 'size up" the other guy without going for a full fledged bone-crusher of a handshake, which is usually reserved for intimidating people or otherwise sending a message of sorts when circumstances won't allow more emphatic displays...


but again, that's just my own experiences, your results may vary, so to speak.

unhinged sometimes i think that's what it is bird. which annoys me in it's own way; at this point, i pride myself on being a strong independent girl. you'd think that stereotype would be gone by now. *shrugs*

milwaukee is very segregated. the rich people make their little neighborhoods and fill them with police and they get nervous and disgusted when they have to interact with the unwashed. the store i teach at is in one of those neighborhoods. when i meet people like that, they stick out their hand because it's customary, but they don't actually want me to touch them. i'm their hired help. when i actually shake their hand, some of them barely hide their contempt. better run to the bathroom and wash off my poor germs.

did i mention i hate milwaukee and wisconsin in general? that the people here are violent assholes or snobby assholes depending on where they live?


is still reeling from listening to someone get their leg broken outside her bedroom window last night

birdmad in my shadier days, a strong handshake from a woman was always an X-factor that had to be read by circumstance and analyzed in great detail.

on the party scene, a girl with a firm hand was almost always a predator...but there were always little caveats and exceptions,

in business, it meant she was
A) smart;
B) going to keep you on your toes, and;
C) gonna play hardball over whatever issue was on the table

my favorite accomplice had delicate hands and, sometimes, a grip like a vise
damn, i miss that one

sometimes.

past i've never been so gender discerning in regards to handshakes. in fact thinking about it, most of the weakest handshakes i've ever received have been from men. it usually comes across as a lack of confidence, whereas (wilst fucking gender) a strong handshake usually means that the person is sure of themself, or at least of that self being presented. 080701
...
unhinged when you put your hand on my shoulder i want to pull away. i want to yell 'don't touch me.' you are undeserving of that kind of intimacy between us now. go put your arm around your girlfriend and tell her what a great pal she is. 080730
...
past all this moving from confusing to [thinking that i'm] knowing to confusing is enough to make a guy explode. at least i'm adept enough to sense subtle shifts and silent sirens wailing 'disengage disengage disengage' (without fully doing so) 080730
