it's fairly quiet outside of my cage this morning so i thought i'd take a minute to talk about how i ended up here. it starts the way so many of these stories do: i met a man. i was dancing at a club. i don't recall which one. i'd been to several that night trying to find one that fit my mood. a man came up to me who wasn't terribly attractive but after some conversation, it was clear we shared some common interests.
