Walking forward in the dark; one hand on the wall

It seems I have been Fleshbotted. I went from having a readership in the single digits to receiving more than 600 900 hits, and still counting. I'm unnerved (for reasons that should be clear if you read the first post ever made on this nascent blog); a little frightened; a little flattered. All of which is to say, it's exciting. And hey -- hi.

::little wave::

Now I'm going to try to pretend to myself that no one's watching.

Tonight I'm going to my first -- well, now. I don't know what they're called. Party. Big party at a secret location attended by a large number of people who are into various sorts of kink. What are those called?

Well, whatever they're called, I'm going to one tonight. I don't know what I'll wear, and I won't really know anyone there. My plan is to attend as an observer and learn a thing or two about myself and about other people. I'm looking forward to it. I'm also nervous enough to throw up, and it isn't even noon. Wish me luck.

::actions:: -- interesting.

The only people I've seen doing that are people who were a part of an online role-playing community way back in the day. I'm curious if you picked up that habit there or elsewhere. :)

Great posts, by the way -- I'm one of the 900 fleshbotters but I'm glad they featured you. Trolling your back archives now...

Thank you so much, idan, and may I congratulate you on being my first -- and only -- commenter! I cross yet another bridge.

As for the ::actions:: in colons habit -- I picked that up on another forum I frequent. A woman I adore uses that convention and I like the way it looks for certain occasions. I've never participated in an online role-playing community, although I have been running my yap online one way or another since the early 90s.
