Ramble, friendship, & Groups

I miss being around more types of people I relate too. I've always been the person who relates to all different kinds of people and I think that's one of my best traits but everyone still has their niche, I guess that's the best way to put it. The "groups" of people I associate with tend to be so diverse from each other and maybe that's why I find, finding someone I completely relate to a bit annoying.

Some of the crowds I tend to follow.... Kink without a doubt is something that's very much a part of my life. Hip hop - I love the music and lifestyle, the in depth picture created by lyricists. Tattoos - I've always loved art and tattoos for me are a great form of expression and beautiful in themselves. Athletics - I love my sports, I can't lie. Love the Steelers, Cubs and Bulls. I also enjoy playing athletics myself, it's good entertainment, exercise and I enjoy competition. Cross-dressing, it's something I've done my entire life. I do it in the kink community but also enjoy it beyond the kink community. Fashion, letting loose, and being femme is enjoyable to me.

Then I have my friends I grew up with. I'm very-very lucky to have such a good group of friends. Jamal, Andrew, Chris, Adrian, and Walter. All of which know me very well. I don't hide things, well I opened up to all of them when I was 19, 20 and they have all been great. All of them are what you would call "vanilla" but all very open minded and I love them all. They all live in Chicago and I definitely miss being around my group of friends that I've had for a long time. Maybe that's all it is.

I'm still in Ithaca, leave Friday so one more day. I'm excited to get to Philly and then to DC. I'm actually really excited for the rest of my school break. Then I may make a pitt stop in Pittsburgh to see a "friend" who in a very different way has become the person who is most close to me over the past year. I was in a long-term relationship and we split a part in September/October 2009. It took awhile to get back to "normal" and when I was back to 100% I stumbled across someone who makes me smile. So other than missing my friends in Chicago I find this person in Pittsburgh to be someone I look forward to seeing every time I do see her and someone I care about.

I know this is a bit of a ramble but I think we all have these every once in awhile. So I'm a end it on that.
