beware the busy cupcake

Apologies for taking a few days off around here, as I’ve been alternately *actually having sex* and doing some very, very emotionally difficult writing. For the past two weeks, I’ve been working on writing down all my experiences of living on the streets as a teen. It’s all flooding back. It’s crazy. It’s been making me want to hide a bit. Hacker Boy is taking good care of me. I’ll share some of it here in the next few days.

I’m giving myself mental breaks by blogging randomly at techyum, adding new authors there, and really having a blast writing my SF Gate sex column. (Jeebus, didja see the comments on that one? So funny to see people so mad at being unable to refute the correlation between conservatives’ obsession with sex and being compulsively unable to control their own sexual urges. And no, I do not identify with either democrats or republicans, and have never, to the best of my knowledge, ever had sexual relations with a park bench.)

In the meantime, I’m about to launch a new digital sex ed project, some troll keeps fucking with my Wikipedia page to remove me from SRL (and oh, when I find you…) — and next, I plan to pitch some juicier, more investigative pieces about sex in the good old US to major publications. I’ll also be working on my Arse Electronica talk about sexual privacy on the internet, and trying to find someone to fund/produce a weekly sex entertainment video show I really want to do.

Oh, and I’ll be doing more GETV, of course!
