So this is the blogposting thread, right?
Everything in my life is going really great. Got a job interview on Friday that I'm pretty sure I'm going to nail because substitute teaching actually has a dearth of people willing to do it. It'll feel good to break out of the "you require job experience to get a job" thing. I'll never forget not being able to get a job as a god damn cashier because of that reason.
I've been studying to become a history teacher, and one of the requirements is watching how teachers teach. During this observation, all of them have been very welcoming and friendly to me, since they themselves had to do what I'm doing now to become a teacher. It's really nice, I feel like I'm part of the family already. The Introduction to Teaching Social Studies class I'm taking is also going great, a lot of it is intuitive for me. I feel bad for this guy who wants to become an economics teacher and knows nothing about history, since the class focuses exclusively on it.
I haven't been able to do creative stuff lately because of school, but I hope that the break coming up means I can catch up. Got a lot of ideas cooking in my head, that recent failed quest thread that I made the protagonist for inspired me. I can sympathize with >>514177, I just wanna do something fun.
I also go to a fetish meetup with my bf, have been for over a year now. Went yesterday, it's at a small restaurant. Some people are pretty cool, like this dominatrix in her 50s who tells us stories of all the crazy shit that she's done, this guy from Texas who works with copper to make custom collars for people, this chill artist who lives in an abandoned church, etc. Of course, there are always the greasy autists who let the fetish take over their lives, but we're finding it easy to ignore them. There's also another girl who's nice, but has the textbook existential emptiness from wanting to live out her fantasy and sleep around. She has an open relationship with her bf, and she's hit on almost everyone including my bf and me. She had an angry rant against monogamy when she got turned down by a girl who had exclusivity as a condition for sex. I just hope that she can eventually break out of her way of thinking and find happiness.
My bf and I have an opportunity to go to a convention for the fetish in October. We're wondering if it'll be a cringe-fest. We're also not sure if it would be the right environment for us, considering our relationship is completely closed and monogamous. Right now, we're taking the stance of "Might as well try it at least once", but we're both a little wary. I guess these are the same feelings that everyone goes through when they go to their first furcon or something like that.
