I'd like to thank siegeengine for pointing me toward The Polyamorous Misanthrope. I've been reading on that site for a good chunk of today. Good stuff. Real stuff. Down to earth. Doesn't mince words.

Also interesting how the advice there applies to non-relationship things too. My earlier post about the Rochester Women's Community Chorus? Seems that want is a pretty big one. I spend altogether too much time in my life not singing and not being musical, when being musically inclined was one of my first loves. I've spent too much time as a Stay At Home Mom, forgetting all the bits and bobs that go into making me who I am. I think that singing is one of those things that I am less myself without. I don't think I'd be doing myself or anyone else any favors by not joining. Heck, I'm a wibblebag just thinking about how much I miss singing when I'm not. I want to sing, and I want to know other folks who do too. I want to have fun with it, but I also want to work on regaining some of my range and ability.

Somehow it looks scarier typing it out. A whole organization worth of strangers... I'm never sure if I'm good enough or dedicated enough. But the opportunities: to work as a team, to make music, to have my voice heard, to have the chance to succeed at being musical, maybe even to network with other people who enjoy singing. I think it would be a bad choice to hide from the opportunity. So, then, why do I get so nervous and scared?

Ooh, I did a fair amount of reading on that blog, and I liked a lot of what I saw. My favorite so far is the one about Vetoes (http://www.polyamorousmisanthrope.com/2007/03/18/vetos/).

That one's definitely a good post. Heck, there's a lot of good stuff in there. I'm sure I'll be doing more reading on it.
