My fucking god, it's been a while.
I've had lots and lots going on these past few months.
The proposition I was working on here in SF, the one to decriminalize prostitution, got 41% of the vote. Of course we were all a little disappointed, but we didn't really expect it to pass. We weren't prepared to come up with regulations and recommendations just yet. So it's kinda better. I mean, it definitely sucks that we are still subject to arrest and police abuse, but we're trying again in 2011. And we learned quite a few lessons this time around. Anyway, life goes on.
Just as I was starting to get really active in the campaign, a really wonderful and loyal client and I came up with an "arrangement". Basically, he was to be my only client, and he took care of all my bills- and then some. I absolutely could not have been as involved with the campaign without him. This made my life so much simpler. We've had this arrangement since August, and now are reexamining it. We became too dependent on each other and it got a little unhealthy. We need to transition into something more sustainable, but it sure was wonderful while it lasted. I was able to pay off my debt, visit Texas, rent a sweet car, stay in lots of fancy hotels, and start an IRA! I also flew my mom out to SF for Christmas and took my niece on a shopping spree. I went to DC for a march and protest at the Department of Justice, hung out in NYC for a while at the most beautiful hotel, and even went to Australia!
I traveled around Australia for 5 weeks with my best friend Anika. We hung out at the beach a lot, drove across the country in a camper van (with no AC and record heat), saw Die Zauberfloete at the Sydney Opera House, saw Nine Inch Nails at a festival, and got my septum pierced. Here are some pictures of all that:
Tell me about it, brother!
Back in October I started dating a wonderful new guy. Vanilla, straight, and had only met one sex worker before- in Amsterdam for a blowjob. I was super nervous that it wouldn't last after I dropped the bomb, but he stuck around and we're still dating now. He's getting kinkier by the day and is super fucking supportive of my life as a sex worker. I really couldn't ask for more. Well, maybe some degradation now and then, but whatever. Although I did puke on his cock last weekend and he was into it, so that's fucking great!
In January I was elected to the board of the Harvey Milk LGBT Democratic Club. I was also asked to sit on the board of the St James Infirmary, and that should start soon. I'm super excited about these opportunities. I'm also starting to work on the SF Bad Date List again, trying to get a radical sex workers branch of the IWW started here, and hopefully coordinating a partner support group this summer. And I just signed a lease on a very cute 3 bedroom house with a fenced yard and an avocado tree!
So all in all, life is fucking great.
