Halfway thru another philosophy post but a busy weekend pulled me away from it. Been thinking I might want to chill on it for a little though, with things slowing down and settling a bit nicer.
A person who is lovely and magical and moved away last year is coming down to visit, so I'll be hosting and hopefully cuddling in just a few hours - I'm looking forward to spending what little time of theirs I'll get when they're around.
This last weekend I got out and danced twice, spent time with partners including one I haven't seen in almost a month, finally got connected with the right person to discuss everything that went wrong with my 2 surgeries and care coordination, went to a show my nesting partner and her partner played, and some other stuff I probably forgot.
This week I'll be moderating a panel speech, and then professionally speaking myself. This weekend is pride in SF, so it's jam packed with shows and parties. I'm guessing I'll probably be sick next week because I'll be spending a lot of time partying and being around a lot of people in crowded spaces dancing and having fun.
What kind of music do you like dancing to??
Also sounds like you're poly, is that the label you'd use? What's a nesting partner? I'm really interested in it, I wish I'd discovered the concept of polyamoury before I settled into a monogamous relationship.
EDM, generally genre agnostic. I like and find myself drawn towards melodic elements in music and I enjoy it in different parts of music. Melodies can be more traditional and led by instruments like piano, guitar, etc. or they can be less traditional and come through in bass or electronic elements or through melodic break beats on the drums.
Yes, I am poly and that's the label I use. My nesting partner is the partner that I live with. I use this term instead of anchor or primary because they are neither of these to me - the other partner (metamour) that I referenced is more akin to her primary or anchor (she doesn't practice hierarchical polyamory but I feel like primary may in ways be more appropriate here because the two have codependency issues they're working on).
