Poetry Thursdays
You say, “I will come.”
And you do not come.
Now you say, “I will not come.”
So I shall expect you.
Have I learned to understand you?

Everybody tells me
My hair is too long
I leave it
As you saw it last
Disheveled by your hands.

Poetry Thursdays..
it’s back….
Bound up it Always
Came undone.
Unbound it was so long.
Now I have not
Been with you for days
Is your hair all done up?

Thanks Dunter for showing me such a fun technique
A “do over”
It was two years ago today I met her for first time.
By beginning of June it was over..
she was gone.
She left a lot of turbulence in her wake… those waves had long gone away
all that was left was a wondering if she was OK or if our paths would cross
Mid January 2010 she mailed me..
When I first saw mail I was stunned, I then feared to read it, worrying that with what I have been going through it would end up being a massive trigger..
It wasn’t
The most heartfelt letter I have ever read, she dumped it all out about why she did what she did in why she did.. I wrote back.
We emailed a few times, then IM…
We made plans to meet for dinner on Valentines day after the Fetish Flea. I was worried about what was going to happen. There was drama after the Flea and here I am driving to Hartford to meet up with my ex-girlfriend yeah on Valentines day..
All my good vibes were spot on.. my paranoia unfounded.. it was almost a perfect evening.
Since that day we have spent more time together.. and it has been good.. feels right.
We don’t have a label for it, but it is comfortable feels something completely new yet something old and well fitting.
She was first to call me Daddy… she still does
Geekiery:Fetlife, PHP and Events
I am starting to work on a new little event mgt project using PHP to make up for features I wish Fetlife had. Much of it is still in my head so here is point form of where I am going
- Create Events
- Manage RSVP requests to Events
- Auto post to Google Calendar
- Auto post to Fetlife
- Create event specific discussion group on Fetlife
- Email/Fetlife msg reminders for event coming up
- User Validation via Fetlife msg rather than Email
So far for user managment I am using UserCake
and to try and log into and manipulate Fetlife a PHP Http tool called Snoopy
When this is finished it will be really useful for myself as well as many of the local area events that use fetlife
I am new to programming in PHP so this is also a good learning app
