Thinking about Ritual -v- Protocol

Monday, March 23rd, 2009

The other day I was thinking about the differences between what counted as a protocol and what was in fact a ritual. This is in part prompted by a workshop I'm doing for MVK on April 4, 2009 called D/s 101 So I was musing about a past relationship wherein I ...

Is it really a question of Semantics?

Sunday, March 15th, 2009

So I've been reviewing and processing a couple of bad racist experiences that I had some time ago. Arguing on FetLife will do that. At one point I was having a conversation with someone and I said something like "there's a difference between political correctness and racial awareness ya know!" Now... I ...

Local Service Required

Saturday, March 14th, 2009

Life support needed while working to earn the Lucre of the Realm, volunteering in community, travelling incessantly and building my empire. Have you got what it takes?

Thinking about consensual adult Age Play

Thursday, March 12th, 2009

It has been only in the last four years or so that my notions of this type of play expanded beyond "adult baby" play (diapers, nursing, etc) and I always thought that sex was involved somehow. (Strange since my personal kinks don't follow that kind of template.) Personally, I have never ...

Why I love My Country – #1 : CBC

Tuesday, March 3rd, 2009

Here we have CBC. A national broadcaster that really feels like the heart of Canada to me. Maybe not the whole heart, but certainly a chamber. One of the programs run on CBC Radio One on Saturday mornings is North by Northwest which has resurected a segment called Lost Childhood Books. ...

Coming together at last!

Tuesday, February 3rd, 2009

Yee Haw! This has been a been an on again off again labour for a looong time. It's been a love/hate gathering of writing from all over the web. It was prompted, in part, by someone asking about a post I had written back in the day. Did I still have ...

Rats in the Walls

Saturday, January 31st, 2009

I'm REALLY upset with myself. In fact, as I sat, peed, and thought a little this morning, I had this sense that this might be the THING that I take with me to my grave. I thought I had exterminated the rats I saw in my psychic house. They retreated to ...

Where to find me in 2009…

Friday, January 16th, 2009

Barely into the New Year and I've got many a plan up my sleeve already. Which surprises even me given the events of the fall. In September I had major surgery (I was sick when I was at the conference) and have just returned to work now. But I'm still being ...

Twitter to LiveJournal – Can’t they get along?

Sunday, January 4th, 2009

OK. So I can post from my cell to my Twitter account and twitter will post to my Facebook. And what I want is my Twitters to post to my LiveJournal account. 'Cause ya know.... typing into a journal just isn't me. I think big thinks all day long. They ...

And then there were NONE

Sunday, September 14th, 2008

And then there were none. YAY! So much love and appreciation goes out to my core care team team. Feeling the love and feeling blessed. SP, EM, AN and KC... I have no words that are adequate. TO my Sista I could not be more grateful for a safe harbour. I looked ...

Surgery and then there’ll be…

Wednesday, September 3rd, 2008

This time next week I'll be waking up to my first full day with a big chunk missing. Can I be more appreciative of SP, NC, KC, EM and AN? Getting to here, which today feels like one I should spend in my new (!!!) bed, has been.... I don't know. ...

My D/s Syllybus for BlackBeat

Monday, August 11th, 2008

SO EXCITED! Here's my planned schedule for BlackBeat so far:

Continuing the journey into D/s M/s

Friday, August 8th, 2008

Took a serious break from my learning path this year. Life indeed what happens to you while you're busy making other plans. I committed myself at the beginning of the year to expanding my understanding, skill and network of people - locally and afield - in the area of Dominance/submission and ...

A little pain with my pleasure…

Saturday, August 2nd, 2008

Who knew that a 60lb rabid porcupine crossed with a ball of lava trying to fight it's way out of one's body could be so highly resistant to tylenol3. Thank goodness that it doesn't bung me no matter how much I eat. THANK GAWD for that. Happy Pride indeed. Here's to days ...

The only conference of its kind in North America

Friday, August 1st, 2008

Soon I'll be on my way to Black Beat. A conference I've been wanting (and fearing) to attend for five years or so. http://www.blackbeatinc.org/ I can't wait to surround myself with black kinksters. To be able to walk into a space where I don't have to explain so many things about how ...

Working on the Weekend

Servicing the citizens of my municipality calls to me but the sun beckons.

Sleeping beauty fretting mightily instead

Thursday, July 10th, 2008

I keep forgetting that in addition to chronic pain and discomfort (hence being constantly drug affected), that alien babies also cause hormonal imbalances which can lead to emotional sensitivity, mood swings, anemia induced fatigue - no, exhaustion - and insomnia among other things. While I fight denial of fact, and in ...

Yep. It’s true.

Sunday, July 6th, 2008

I am blessed. Truly blessed.

So they say…

Sunday, June 22nd, 2008

[emerging from the shadows of listening] I been tracking some of the writing that has appeared since I return to writing with tales of the texture that my life has on a "this is 2008!?" level. It always amazes/amuses me what people will speak to or address and what they won't. The ...
