Indoor, outdoor...or...Bugs vs Bugs!

So I was hired by a new group. It was a rough start, but the facilitator and I became friends and worked out the issues :) We had some misunderstandings that happen often on the 'net. It's hard to get nuances, hard to get one. And if the writer is not an emotive as say, I, then it's even easier to get the wrong vibe. But all is well, I liked him a lot, in fact. This was a group found online, a regular and steady group - a  plein aire group, in fact.

I had a few challenges - some personal, some mental, lol, some just what anyone else had. First, it was in an interesting place - the hills of a local town. It reminded me of a canyon in my old hometown in some ways - remote, but still easy to get to civilization. But getting there meant taking sharp turns, steep hills, maneuvering pot holes and following directions! But I got there with only one slight mistake. And? I got there early - as I will ALWAYS aim to do., I refuse to be late to these events. Second, ALL new people. Never met any of 'em, lol. That was ok, but the "odd" part was more that I was going to some guy's house, to take off all my clothing for a bunch more people that I didn't know, in house I've never been to, with almost NO idea of what to expect. When did I get so Ovarysry? ;) And since this was outside...third...BUGS! Lizards! Bees! Cicadas (? Some wild bug was making some crazy clickity-clackity sounds and stuff like whoa!)! Oh, my! (I never did write about the roach at the gallery - it was large enough to saddle up and ride - I'll tell the story another time)

Then...the biggie...Fourth. "TMI" Warning - Do Not Read it You Don't Want to Know About My Womanly Issues :)

I got my period. I have yet to take the advice of my Modeling Mentor and get a menstrual cup, so I had to deal with tampons, which I do NOT use. Holy CRAP, I was so afraid of leaking or...whatever. But then I began thinking...I'm NUDE and a WOMAN! What the FUCK do they think my body does, lol? Too bad I don't bleed opalescent glitter, but hey, I'm only a mere human, right? So I dealt with it, figured it out...and prevailed :)

Ok, you're safe bow - Coward ;)  

You know, I'm really enjoying this. Not just the actual experience, but the whole thing - artists, art, new places, new people, ME deciding what's happening with my body, me challenging myself left and right.

I just need to get this same THANG going with a few issues elsewhere...But I digress....

By the way, aren't Ear Worms like the YUCK-shit at times?? "I'm looking through you....where did you go...." Yeah. The Beatles? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=euQm6XbTv10 Yeah, that :) "Your lips are moving, I cannot hear..." Yes, this is what was running through my head the WHOLE time today! I may ask for music next time, but we shall see. I'm the employee, really, I know that. But wow. I like music - it helps me calculate the time in my head. I have to say though, outside, there are still sounds and things happening around me that help with that. Like? Like:  planes above, lizards scurrying about, the crazy-ass buggies, the lovely, amazing cool breeze...and I kinda like being all nakey outside, lolol...! Inside, it's less dynamic - well, no, not less. It's a different dynamic. 


So...New class, also began a new hooping situation/class/jam...Just a few more things to do to get....smooooth.....inside and outside....

Any questions? Ask! Lemme know...

Maybe my dog can help you...and me...with them :) 

'Til next time...
