yes, they all look like Nicole Kidman. That's the real reason I'm going, you figured me out. Good job detective Giant! Giant detective?

brothel outreach, street outreach, learning lots and lots about sex ed, helping nzpc pass the 3 year evaluation by the health comission that funds them, connecting workers who've been assaulted with legal support and counseling, helping put together their (annual?) publication.

I'm glad you're doing well. Lately I've been mostly good busy and not stressful busy. :)

you are so fucking awesome.

meanwhile, i moved to philly last week. long story. but perhaps we can still meet up while you're on the east coast... i would enjoy it so much

you are also fucking awesome. cuddlyvegan March 9 2006, 22:54:25 UTC

New York and I will miss you, but yes, we should still meet up. I just pulled out my girlfriend's giant elementary school style atlas, and New York and Philadelphia are closer than I'd realized! So we should definately meet up at some cute coffee shop someplace in the rain. or...snow? this is so exciting!

I have never known you to want to stop reading about sex and politics. and haven't sites with 'sex' in the title always accounted for the majority of your bookmarks?

drat. cuddlyvegan March 9 2006, 23:01:21 UTC

You're right, I should clarify. I'm sick of reading "scholarly" crap on sex and politics. I'd much rather read smut. And in response to your second question, no. Lauren just taught me how to make bookmarks. Oh, I guess that means yes, for the month I've been using bookmarks they've been almost entirely sexy marks.
Why do you always win?

you should ask starlet_harlot if you can be added to her livejournal. She is a sex worker in Australia and has a very interesting journal. I added her about a year and a half ago. Some of the most interesting and informative live journal reading out there-but first take a break :-) New Zealand-one of the most gorgeous places on earth, wow.

oooo cuddlyvegan March 9 2006, 23:02:58 UTC

are you talking about scarlet harlot from the collection of writings by women in the sex industry? And how's London?

Re: oooo peppypatti March 11 2006, 15:31:26 UTC

that could be her. She is always writing things that she plans to submit to various places and posting them on her lj. I like it because it's nitty gritty real lexperiences of a sex worker and not scholarly or intellectualized-at least the things she writes about her day-to-day life are not.

London is coming to an end soon because the work visa is expiring. I could get a new visa but not quite sure what I'll be doing yet. Jane, my boss, wants me to come back. we'll see. Everything is up in the air. I'm very sad, and don't deal with endings well, as you know. just been displaying some avoidance behavior. I'm glad things are going well with you. I've actually been reading about social work policies in Australia and New Zealand lately. New Zealand has some really progressive policies. Good luck with the endeavor! Hope you make it there and write all about it!
