How grateful I am to have someone I can be entirely raw and vulnerable with. That's what the Bible meant when...

This is just a quick entry to answer a private note I received on the last entry. I'm sure the gentleman/lady knows who they are, but I'm sorry I can't note you back because your diary is set to Friends only. You made a few points and I would like to address some of them. Firstly, in no way am I trying to suggest that sexual abuse is not serious, it most certainly is. What I am saying is...

I I "play" in the SCA, the Society for Creative Anachronism and this weekend is our big local event. We camp out, on relatively undeveloped land, for 4 days filled with classes, heavy weapon tournaments, light weapons tournaments, cooking and brewing competitions, and lots of socializing and fun.

Ever hear of 'drunk dialing'? Whereas someone who is drunk makes phone calls to people in the middle of the night. Ideally, they know these people. But we cannot assure you this is always the case.
