Scared of My Blog

I have to confess, I am scared of my blog. It's true. I've been sitting here with my laptop, appropriatley placed on my lap, typing and back-spacing and over thinking. What would be quality, first blog entry material? Do I explain who I am, why I'm here? In many ways I am a newbie to the world of blogging, but questioning, exploring, writing, trying to express thoughts so that they may become real; those are things I am familiar with. I'm exciting about the anonymity that comes with this, and about the ability to participate in important conversations.

There are many things about my identity and life experiences that impact the lenses through which I view the world. I am both a lesbian and feminist. I am sex-positive, I am the daughter of a union family, I am a sexual assault counselor. So I have a feeling that much of what I have to say is going to be coming from a place that reflects those parts of myself.

I've been preoccupied with gender-role issues lately. My latest attempt at a relationship is with a woman who lives 1,000 miles away, we met through a mutual friend on vacation and the sex was so good we met up again when she was visiting the Northeast, and then again, and again, and again. What we have has begun to evolve into more than just a physical penchant for one another. She's butch in many ways, and I'm loving it. Looking back on past relationships, I realized that my girlfriends have become progressively more butch over time. I'm so interested in exploring this further, as more than just a coincidence. By trade she repairs motorcycles, so the boots aren't just a sexy fashion accessory....more to come on our first encounter, but it involved those boots! Anyway, for that reason, I'll call her Boots. Speaking of her, she keeps texting and I think she needs some attention......so this looks like the end of my introduction for now...
