The Art Of Conversation

Filed under: Uncategorized — Tags: , , , , — Raven @ 1:02 am

How odd that my 100th post would be about how I don’t suck dick.

I hadn’t even realized it until today. I woke up thinking about how things were and how they are now. I know things change, and I’m really trying to look for the benefit in the changes.

I know that for all my life I will be labeled two things that will always follow me until the day I die.

1 I’m of African decent (here in American that means I’m Black).

And

2. I’m a Woman.

That is what the world sees. Anything else, the world wants to know about me will have to  begin with a conversation. I think the art of meeting someone and having a conversation is being lost. I was recently introducted to someone. by a friend who thought I might enjoy. They have a thing for canes as do I.

My friend used our names in her introductions. Then this funny thing happened which I’m seeing more and more. The young lady went on to (for lasck of a better term) reintroduce herself. She starts to list all these things about herself.

She’s polyamorous, a top to somebody ( I didn’t get his name) and bottoms to someone else( I didn’t get her name) she’s a bondage and cane slut (whaterver that is?) and she’s into latex, leather and someother things I was not really listening. Oh, and she’s a boi to …

This went on for a good five minutes, okay maybe less, but they are miuntes I will never get back. When her lips finally stopped moving I joked, ”you forgot to mention if you’re left or right handed?”

She didn’t find it funny, she explained that she was just telling me about herself, introducing herself.

But, that’s just it, more and more it seems to me that people in the “scene” don’t introduce themselves they advertise. What ever happened to finding out about someone through conversation.We already knew something about each other, since the person that originally introduced us told each of us that she wanted to introduce us to one another, we have something in common. That something was canes.

But after hearing the list, do I really want to take the time to get to know her?

The fact that she used polyamorous in that list. Well, that a different post. 

I really wanted to and that may be my lost. While sitting with the girls, I sat silent, just listening to her talk about her life, which was the list. I kept telling myself talk to her, say something. But I can’t help but wonder who and or why does she have this list/lable for herself?

Which made me think of Alexandre Dumas’ great line in the story The Man In The Iron Mask. ”I wear the mask, the mask does not wear me.”

Until next time Perverts
