Today, I went to a Habitat for Humanity build called Power Women, Power Tools. Even though I had to wear a pink shirt, a pink tool belt and pink gloves, I had a ton of fun! I wore my flannel over the pink shirt, so my level of gender discomfort went from overwhelming to neutral. There was music, food, and women in wifebeaters and tools belts EVERYWHERE.
AND I learned how to hang drywall. Needless to say, it was lesbian paradise. I in fact did so well, and had so much fun, that I think I'm going to get a group together and go back soon!

So it's been a long long time.
It's been a while, folks! Too long indeed. Maybe it's because I think I'm more interesting now, or I need something to help me associate with people, or whatever, but I want to start writing again here.
A lot has happened! I have a wonderful new job at a great catering company in Los Angeles. It makes for a hellish commute from the Gay Ghetto of Long Beach, but I'm happy there. I took a pay cut, but I'd rather make a little less, and be a lot happier, than make more and have chronic migraines.
I've been having fun with my BFF's, J, aka the Latin Lover, and Billie's cousin, who I will refer to as the Male Lesbian. We play Magic the Gathering at Denny's until 1:00 in the morning, drink port, wear flannel, and various manly things, and some not-so manly things, like make crepes together.
Billie and I adopted a dog, Frankie, but an unfortunate combination of separation anxiety (for the dog), and annoyance (for the neighbors) culminated in his moving in with my Mother In Law. He's pretty much her dog now. He goes where she goes, eats what she eats, and is now expressing the same level of off-putting territorial-ness she does. When he's at *my* house, he knows what the rules are, he's chill, and he knows not to chase the cat or jump on the couch. When he's at MIL's, all those good manners are out the window.
Alas.
In other news, this marriage shit is HARD!!! Marriage is HARD. WORK. I know that doesn't come as a shock to anyone, but good god damn! I suppose it's easy to be complacent, and not work on your issues, leading to a moderate amount of unhappiness at all times. However, complacency is not in Billie's lexicon, so we really, seriously, work on everything.
Marriage is HARD. It is not for the weak-willed. It is not for those who think there's nothing wrong with them, and who aren't willing to look within and work on their shit.
Lucky for me, I know how to do hard work, so things between us are currently golden!
Speaking of hard work, I gave up on my Master's program. I realized that my heart wasn't in it, and that if I don't have someone else setting goals for me (ie parents or a professor), regarding it, I didn't want to do it anymore. So, adios, academia.
That'll be it for today, hopefully more later!
Best regards to all,
Jess

Fuck everything. I guess it's back to the voters, if we can trust them. Yeah, Billie and I are still married, but that's not much consolation when there are tens of thousands of people who can't be.
Also, hi, now the Supreme Court has created a special class of gay people who are legally married... this doesn't BOTHER anyone? WTF?

What's up with blow jobs?
Okay guys, you gotta help me out. I see so much writing coming from butches about loving blow jobs, and femmes loving to give them, and frankly, I don't get it. Now, I like to strap it on as much as the next guy, but I don't get the attraction.
It's not that we haven't tried it, because we have. And yes, I admit that it's a nice visual, and when your lady knows how to press the base just right, it's nice, but that's about as far as I want to take it. I wouldn't be able to get off that way. In my mind, why not eliminate the silicone barrier?
So, fans of the lesbian blow job, please fill me in. Please!
