Hunter or Prey?? :-)

Bit of a muggy day,

so far,

but,

I don’t care,

it’s Labour Day weekend,

and,

for the first time,

in seven years,

it is neither,

the sidewalk sale,

nor a work weekend.

I took the weekend off,

yes, yes, yes.

butchy jigg:-))

I’m excited,

I never get,

long weekends.

My mom,

is gone for the weekend,

and it is blissfully,

quiet.

Don’t get me wrong I love my mother, but, she’s a noisy little thing:-)

I’m sure,

she’s having a good time,

shoe shopping,

with my aunt.

This is my 300 hundreth post,

a milestone,

I can’t tell you all,

how much,

my silly little blog,

means to me,

but, I’ll try

<wink>

It gives me a voice,

for my opinions,

my rants,

my searching.

It has given me,

camaraderie,

virtual,

and,

otherwise.

It has helped me,

spread my wings.

I appreciate your,

comments,

feedback,

and I would like even more.

Feel free to tell me,

what you think,

and feel,

if you think,

I’m dead wrong about something,

let me know.

This brings me to,

what I wanted to,

write about,

today.

It’s been bouncing,

around my brain,

for days,

not sure if it’s,

fully formed yet,

but,

what the hey.

On Thursday night,

I went out for a beer,

with a good friend of mine,

I like her,

a lot,

we don’t get together often,

but,

we get along,

maybe,

it’s a butch bonding thing:-)

Anyway,

we were talking about,

this anthology,

I was reviewing,

pretty good stuff,

and I was saying,

although,

stilettos and fishnet stockings,

aren’t my thing,

I get how they are,

for many butches.

Then we drifted off,

into a discussion,

of,

how,

some butches,

like to chase,

and,

some like,

to be chased,

It goes without saying, that this isn’t a strictly butch thing, right??

and then she called me,

a player, a hunter,

she meant it as a compliment,

I think?

or actually,

knowing my friend,

she was simply stating,

a fact,

as she knew it.

I’ve got to say,

I was a little taken,

aback,

did she think me a ‘predator’?

and then,

I thought,

of course not,

she thinks,

you’re a flirt,

and let’s face it,

BB,

you are:-)

Odd,

because you know,

I’m shy,

and it doesn’t show,

I come off,

as confident,

friendly,

I am:-)

sometimes,

flirtatious,

sometimes,

brazen,

sometimes,

maybe even,

naughty,

and yet,

I am a shy,

sincere,

bookish,

butch.

I want to chase,

I want to be chased,

I want to lead,

I want to be led,

and when,

things,

get serious,

I’m totally confused,

you all know,

I like my labels,

I embrace them,

and yet…

So, I wanted to ask,

you girls,

something,

Do you like to pursue?

Do you like to be pursued?

Does it change as the encounter evolves?

Does it depend on the situation?

Does it depend on the partner?

is the ‘courtship’,

different from the relationship?

Are these notions,

of courtship and such,

hopelessly,

old-fashioned?

Is there still room for,

seduction in the 21 st century?

That’s what,

I’ve been thinking about,

and I’d like to know,

what you think,

please,

for my 300 th

🙂

Later girls,

and,

thanks for reading,

BB

  1. Happy 300th!

    You are doing a good thing with this blog. I always enjoy stopping by when you’ve posted new “words”. I like Your style – feels a bit like “stream of consciousness”, but I’m no-where knowledgable enough to know if that is a correct literary term 😉

    As to labels – don’t like them – sorry! But I don’t mind people using labels to describe them self if doing so in a positive way. So Bookish Butch is ok 😉 and rather descriptive – well-chosen, if it really is fitting with your Real Life persona.

    And to answer Your question – I believe that the 21st century is in every way as romantic as any century before. People might changes with age, experience …. but deep down we are no different from (Wo)men centuries ago. We still need to be loved, cherished, wanted for who we are… by our partner or someone who might make a new partner be it a long or short termed partnership 😉 … So I guess that courtship and seduction is still on in the 21st.

    Keep us posted on your thoughts and readings!

  2. Thank you:-) and yes, I do believe stream of consciousness desribes a literary style. So you’re a romantic huh?
    Good for you!! A girl after my own heart:-) I intend to keep on writing, and I do like my label, but, I don’t like imposed
    ones if that makes any sense- so we agree.

  3. “I do like my label, but, I don’t like imposed ones if that makes any sense – so we agree.”

    Yes thats it – imposed labels ?! Great expression – I’ll try to remember !

  4. Three hundred happens before you know it. I like reading your blog. The rambles and the rants. I like the feeling I have of seeing your life unfolding. It’s a small connect to another butch person, something I need in my life. Thanks for sharing so much of yourself.

  5. Thank you, it’s nice to know people are reading and enjoying?? my rants
    Good to know there are butches out there who feel a connection.
    Big butchy hug:-) BB
