autumnluv143I was reading a book today. One of my favorite books. This is the book that I recommend others read, specifically those without the blessing of an open mind. Ira Levin, author of "The Stepford Wives" and "Rosemary's Baby," is the author of "This Perfect Day." It's a classic story of the Utopian society so dreaded by people within any form of alternative lifestyle. Organized government to the point of controlling the lives of their people (Farenheit 451, Brave New World styles). Unlike Huxley, this one is an easier read and has a total downfall of the system, which I just loved and is probably the reason that I keep going back to it. If any of you get the chance, please try to find this book. Sadly, it is out of publication..but if anyone wants to borrow it, I would be glad to lend it, as long as I get it back.
It got me thinking about myself in many ways. I'm out there talking all the time about this lifestyle and trying to make others realize that we are not insane or at the very least disturbed. I have never known a more healthy group of people. Granted, there are the loonies...but where aren't they infesting the lives of others... I feel like I'm not making a dent, but that I would like to. I'm just not sure what else I can do, save getting my web page up and running with all the information I want to put on there (if anyone has any suggestions about things they would like to see on a bdsm website, let me know). Work is good, but 10 hour days are exhausting me. I'll adjust, just a matter of time.
