Yes, I'm still in here.
Been a long time since I've surfaced, but been a long time since I needed to do. As lyssa (et al) begins to question her own position on the D/s scale again, more actively seeking someone to take a Dominant role with her, I need to be paying a bit more attention, to make sure that she doesn't end up allowing someone to use that path of earning her ( Read more... ) -
My feelings on slavery
About 30 minutes into the movie "Memoirs of a Geisha", I became too agitated to continue watching, having seen slaver scenes that struck too close to home. My feelings on slavery now come down to this ( Read more... ) -

Liberals & Conservatives
Something to chew on for a bit:

Back to stress...
It was nice while it lasted, but it doesn't seem sustainable. While the idea of letting others front fulltime, and simply remaining in the background, is a very nice one, it doesn't seem like something that can be maintained for the long term ( Read more... ) -

Random ranting
Blah... I'm sick, on the third day of what I'm guessing is a flu or flu-variant: headache, sinus pressure and drip and sneezing, wheezing, aching in all muscles, general fatigue and malaise, chills and sweats (sometimes even simultaneously - probably feverish), and today was the addition of intestinal distress as well.
