benzinha, I 've always had an aversion to
people who make me feel bad and avoid them like the plague. So far that's worked out.

Sten sounds like a cool guy ...
who is this RG to decide it's time for you to leave?

Wiley, The word has German roots.
I'm not exactly sure myself, but Bau means building, and Haut is skin or membrane. It is metaphical in this case as it was the name this guy Sten gave to a commune he was trying to form. He really was a Guru wannnbe. And yes, these events were from my journal written 20 years ago. I'm trying to reconstruct my life to help me understand why I did what I did.

kingmi,thanks for your take on this.
When I wrote these journal entries, in the immediate moment, I didn't really understand what was happening. I was just recording. Now, as I go back to them some 20 years later, I see the events almost as an outsider. I remember different things. It is an interesting exercise for me to figure out my life.

Bauhauté, hmmmmm, I don`t get that word, wonder how it came together. I would be interested in knowing that, being a Québecois and all.

Cynthia, these are still blogs of another time right? Or am I losing it so much I can't sort it out.?

Good blogs luv, you've had and are having a fascinating life. Cynthia do you still paint?? Or work in another medium?? Love to know.

Cynthia, Occasionally we think we have met a real human being.
But on second thought we see that we have merely met someone comfortable with his / her station in life.  Not on the move although perhaps on the make.  Someone who, nevertheless, knows what is important about life.  Casual sex can be like a crutch to some, for whom love is the ultimate answer.  Or at least that is the air that they exude.  That's what I got out of it.  Thanks for writing!
