ADVENTURE ARCHIVE
anonymous. I met my baby on the internet but we were both married and lived 1500kms apart. She took her children and left her husband, and came on the bus to get me. She helped me pack my life into boxes, put it onto a truck, loaded us all into a van and drove halfway across the country to my new life with her. We felt like Thelma and Louise (plus a few kids and a dog - and we didn't kill anybody). I haven't looked back at my old life and the people in it since then.
Today we happily live together in her city, our kids adjusting well. We have 'issues' but ultimately our love wins out.
Wandering Moon.I am not one who climbs mountains or discovers uncharted realms, but I have done unusual things. I went to school while those around me drifted through dead end jobs or married too young. I moved out of my mother's house even as neighbor's and church members asked why she would allow her 23 year old college educated daughter to live alone. I have traveled the country on weekend trips and holidays to visit friends and see new places because I could. I communicate regularly with people from half a dozen foreign lands and yet, I feel as close to them as if they were in the next room. I have watched the careers of new authors begin in tentative internet posts and grow to "real world" publication success even as I try my own hand at what they have shown is possible.
Maybe I'm an adventurer after all.
Funspirit. I used to ride horses a lot, fox-hunts, and 3-day eventing. Then , Fencing. Then, WOMYN and LOVE and POLITICS . . . to cultural work and becoming a small time womyns' music producer. Now a healer of myself and a guide for others. Also a liver of life and fun . . . learning to drum and rumble on, etc. I hope this isn't really supposed to be serious and polished. We like your rough edges!
Barbara Hammer in New York City. Last night I showed my latest film, Tender Fictions, at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City. It was so fine to see my friends and new acquaintances in the audience. The greatest adventure was when Selena Whang asked me to talk more about "the construction of whiteness" in the film. She says she doesn't see many lesbians dealing with whiteness as a race and she suggests that this is an open area for exploration. I think it is very important to address. I appreciate her statement. I will think more about this and read Richard Dyer's book titled "White".
Linny. I found the love of my life on the net. . . hummmm, maybe the right wing is right. . . it is a truly EVIL place. . . and I love it!
Opal. I have never had a lesbian, but I would like to have one. I suppose I could have made this comment in the dream section, however I believe than this desire is more than my dream. It is beginning of my adventure.
Hillary's ex. I'll never forget the time my girl hillary came over to my dorm room and had a few drinks. we talked for a while then realize she couldnt go back to her room because she didnt want to get caught for public drunkenness - did she really want to go back to her room? she was afriad to kiss me and i was afraid too. we ended up staying together until my stupid self could admit who i was and she couldnt take it anymore. i miss her so much and want to see her but she is so far away. do you know what i mean? it is hard keeping "my little secret"
milo.milo and otis drove from canada to san fran, for the ultimate lesbian experiance. It took us many days taking our time driving down the oregon coast. we made it to san fran, managed to find the castro area, but got soooo screwed up by the messed up road signs that we gave up and drove to reno. We found a very small gay and lesbian bookstore there and bought, "the new fu*k you" book there. smuggling it back into canada was adventure as far as im concerned.
Jen.Well, I can't say I've had any experiences, or relationships with women. I have however been in love with a few. Unfortunately, although I believe they loved me emotionally they couldn't physically. i would really love to find a woman who would love, and appreciate me that I could be with in every possible way, and who would be my best friend as well. It's one of the few dreams I have other than being published as a writer, I have to believe she's out there, but since I'm not into bars I don't know if I'll find her. I'm also not very aggressive I'm actually very shy, but I think if I could find her that might change.
SusanE.I love backpacking and hiking as well as most other outdoor activities excluding team sports. I could write about the time I fell out of a raft and almost got swept under, or the time I fell off of a mountain, or about getting lost for 6 hours orienteering in a Texas swamp (THAT was embarassing), but the scariest adventure I ever had was in a peaceful dorm room on a Saturday afternoon. I told my friend, the first person I'd ever told at eighteen, that I was gay and attracted to her. I have never been so scared in all my life, despite all my near-deadly mishaps. I'm still not sure if I was even more scared than I was relieved and happy that she told me she liked me back. We are no longer dating, but she is the best friend I have ever had and the only one I can truly talk about ANYTHING with.
