species Lord of the flies One of these days there's going to be a shake-up in the zoological tables, a new hierarchy. We have species that routinely interbreed, related species in completely different genera, they can't even decide where raccoons should be listed, are they more closely related to weasels, or bears? Meanwhile there's hundreds of new species of insects discovered every year. 030817 ... quotree does INXS all we've got is this moment... ...i need you tonight 'cause i'm not sleeping there's something about you, girl that makes me sweat... ...so slide over here and give me a moment your moves are so raw i've got to let you know... you're one of my kind... 031017 ... misstree rambles. lots. and though she sought far and wide, the little tree could find none of her own species. i need to prefae this rant, and refer people to water_brothers. but brothers are not species... yes... let's get to that, shall we? story time first. went out with a gent i've known for quite a while. he knows how to hurt people better than just about anyone i've met in a very long time. yay him! this is part of why i insisted on dragging him out to coffee, because he didn't smell like the typical brain in the s&m community, and i wanted to lick him and see if he was someone who could play with me. yeah. i'm sitting here on blather. you take a guess as to whether i brought him home to play. it's certainly not that he didn't know what he was doing. and it's not that there was a power imbalance. but the reasons that he was him and i am i are too different to reconcile in such a setting. i was capable of not caring, and so i did. forgive me for expressing my personal opinoin, but i'm sick as fuck of finding people who "like to play with pain" (not sarcastic), but are brainbox-wise incompatible with myself. it sounds like a shallow thing, but it's just the tip of a very deep-rooted iceberg. incoming sensation is life, to me. it's my bread and butter and air and water and everything in the universe boils down to it. sensation_is_a_sacrament. to me, this makes perfect sense. there is, at least at this moment, no other conclusion i could have come to. yet, there seems to be no one outside water_brothers who shares this sentiment, and water_brothers are related creatures but not the same species as myself. where the fuck are all the sensates? is it the curse of the midwest? do they hide from little perki pranksters? is there a conspiracy against me? so, a thought just occurred to me that negates everything i've just said, regarding the three people i've met in my life who i describe as my species, who had nowhere near the same headspace as me, but i'm going to go contemplate rather than stretch my brain. i have stories to review and a bit of sensation to wallow in, so, well, have a good night, little ocean of blue. 031108 ... andru235 each of the creatures has distinctive features now, what is the link if you say they can't think? what i mean to say is that each has its way an infinitude we've disturbed (how rude!) 041229 ... monee sometimes spee sees sometimes spee she's 041229 what's it to you? who go blather from
