Somewhat successfully i've managed to compartmentalize more and more of my life to the point literally no one knows where I am at any one time unless I am with them. It's nice. It's hard.
What's really hard is being a sex worker. Without going into details, I work as one, and it's the most dynamic position i've ever been in. The money for time ratio is great, but the mental energy consumed is fantastic. I wish sometimes I had a normal job- sometime to eat up time and something I could only have to care about for a select few hours a day. Its also spoiled me- I have no concept of working for money any more and im sorry to lose that- i used to work 14 hours a day when i was a kid and paychecks were so treasured. Now getting anywhere from $200 to $2000 dollars at once whenever i work is so easy. I really shouldnt complain about that. I took the semester off to travel, and I have. I went out west, I went to central america, im going to an alternative adult camp, im going to asia, im going to vegas, I might go to europe- Can I really complain?
I think i just need a hobby. I read too quickly to just buy a book every time I'm bored- that would be 3+ books a week. I've definitely picked up a bad habit too, but im not going to write about that right now. If my life isnt where I want it to be in 2011, I will probably just join Peace Corps or the armed services. preferably the armed services; i would love to have a government issued assault rifle.
I'm finding more and more every day that life is duality. My job is a wonderful example of that.
Did you know one of realPlayer's visualizations is this awesome dancing sheep?
Also it's complete bullshit about the PirateBay ruling. Compete bullshit. Related: the DRM-free files on itunes cost more. Also bullshit. Bureaucrats don't understand yet you cant control digital media without supressing freedom of speech. Pirate on.

Answer
Factor out any term with a nine in the denominator from the previous post and you'll find your answer.
Onward- I changed the title of the blog to be a little more accurate- this is indeed a blog about my life, and I consider myself to be (among other things) a type of modern pirate. At the very least, I identify with libertarian and anarchist beliefs, and I am pro piracy. I encourage you to be, too- or at the very least, question the current system our society depends on. That's for another post.
I actually started this blog because so many people insisted I have such an interesting life. At a recent club party, one of my (very drunk) acquaintances leaned into me and said, "God, J, a few months ago you were normal- now look at you. I would read a blog you were writing; you're too goddamn weird for it to be boring." This was amusing to me because I certainly look like a normal, upstanding citizen, but I know I have fairly alternative ideas of fun.
I think the most enjoyable part of having extremely different ideas of what constitutes amusement is being able to blend in perfectly with the rest of society. As much as I can appreciate the fashion and culture of alternative groups- the black and the chains and the eyeliner- I would never, ever embrace it regularly on a personal level. I feel no need to broadcast my quirks on a daily basis, and I don't think many people should. I don't find displays of oddity to be amusing, and in my experience, very few people do find it amusing. If you do, great for you. As part of the rest of society, let me just say I couldn't care less. It makes people seem insecure to me. If you're truly comfortable with whom you are, why try and disturb people or draw attention to yourself by publicly looking different?
Just so you know, my friend said that at a BDSM club, right after I spent a pretty intense few consensual minutes fighting a very large man while he used several tasers and a cattle prod on me. It was awesome.
Song suggestion: "Vulture" by A Life Once Lost. It's a little more metalcore than I am usually comfortable with- Ferret Music carries them, and Ferret usually carries some bad shit- but the brutal opening and fairly unique vocal styling will stick with you. Interesting fact: Randy Blythe of Lamb of God lent vocals to the album- so you know it's at least a little good.
