Wow... where to even begin? My boyfriend that I mentioned before realized recently that he's actually trans, and is now my girlfriend.? She's been having a rough time of it, mentally, so much of what I've been doing has been just trying to help her through the hard times.? Combined with work and the tests I've had to study for, well, I've been busy, to say the least. Still, I got a chance to go to the local club with her this past weekend.? Most of the time was spent watching, but the playing I did get to do was a blast!? *Snicker*? There's really nothing like being held down and tickled mercilessly by a trio of girls.? And later on, I finally got to break out the violet wand that I've had for so long, but haven't had the chance to play with!? It was quite a bit of fun, and helped me to meet a new person who may end up being a friend, and even if not, will CERTAINLY help quell my girlfriend's fears of her trans-ness. Oh, and another friend of mine zapped me with a stun gun.? He's scary, but in that oh-so-tasty sort of adrenaline-giving fear way.?

Nyargh.... So tired.? I'm studying for TWO certs now, the GIAC Certified IDS Analyst, AND the Certified Ethical Hacker.? Takes a lot out of ya. That said, I now have my motorcycle to play with!? A Vulcan 900 Custom in bright blue.? It really fits my personality, I think!? Shiny and happy, with a little bit of "big" to it.? Now I just need something to play theme music, and I'll be set.

Oh!? I forgot to mention, I got a new collar!? It's simplistic enough it can be worn around in general.? It's a black leather band with a shiny chrome bell on the front, with a D-ring hidden just underneath it.? I love it.? Makes me very happy to hear it jingle.

Watch out, drivers, this kitty's now M-Class certified and shopping for a motorcycle!? Vrrrrrroom! Things have been busy for me, but going really well.? I'm happy and healthy, and starting to shop around for a better job, after I finish up one more certification.

What's the worst thing you could possibly do to your computer?? Why, bring it to a hotel where there happens to be a 'net security conference going on, and connect to the hotel's wireless.

Yaaaawn.? Tired. Tomorrow I have a meeting with somebody new.? Should be interesting.? Been talking with him on and off for years now.? If nothing else, he'll probably be someone to watch anime with.? *Laugh* In other news, if you like dungeon crawls, try out Descent with a group of friends.? It's fun, but each dungeon takes a LONG time, so make sure you have some. Oh, and apparently my boy wants me to get a chastity device sized for myself, so we can play with it while he's here, eh-heh... should be interesting... never done anything with those before.? We shall see.

Aha! So, after a good few months, I'm back! Things are mostly the same now, though I'm dating a wonderful guy who I had a crush on for years, though the relationship is open for play and more with other people. And I finally made it to one of the local munches. The people there were nice. Nobody I recognized, though I met somebody there that I'd met earlier and Collarme, which was cool! Other than that, I've been playing lots of board games and video games, and making some things. I made a primitive T-bar thing from wood and steel pipes, and it looks pretty good. I haven't had a chance to try it, and I'm sure it wouldn't stand my full weight without reinforcement, but few things would. It's designed for use on OTHER people, anyways.

Tonight they had a "swap meet" at the local BDSM club.? So, basically, a big yard sale for fetish gear.? It was neat!? I got three new things to add to the closet o' fun stuffs that nobody ever sees.? A mid-length flogger, a... uh, I don't know if it has a name, but it's a red acrylic tube with a bunch of those metal bead-strands coming out on one end, kinda like a metallic flogger (although I bought it for use with the violet wand), and... well, the last thing might be too much.? I bought something called a Cobra, which I THOUGHT was just a mini zapper thing, but ends up being a full-out stun gun... eh-heh.? Granted, it feels rather interesting, but I'd have to trust someone a LOT to let them use that on me.? That's gonna be locked in a box in my closet, and I'm going to hide the key.? Just in case.

Wow. The Blue Man Group is absolutely amazing. If you have the chance, you should go see one of their shows. It's not really a concert, per se, more of a light show and comedy performance COMBINED with a concert. Also, some of the most creative use of PVC pipe that I've seen outside of a BDSM context. *Laugh* Okay, next up is Jonathon Coulton, Internet Superstar, and Paul and Storm, Professional Singing Persons. Concerts are fun! In other news, my lair is now livable, mwahaha. I can invite people over!

Okay, I'm moved in, for now.? It's a short lease, only six months, but hey, it works.? Same length as the contract I'm on, before it goes up to be competed on again. Someone I met on here told me about another group that meets out here once a month, too.? Unfortunately, their meeting this month happens to fall on the same night as the Blue Man Group concert that I got tickets to a bit ago.? So maybe next month! Anyways, I have a box fortress to go deconstruct.

Ack... moving... frantic preperations!? I'll be back to talking to people soon, I promise!

Erf.? I'm just plain tired at the moment, hah... my job hours got shifted, so I'm working 5 AM to 1:30 at the moment, and it's really weighing down on me.? Just gotta get used to it for the moment, I suppose.? *Shrug* The New Years party I went to was quite a bit of fun.? The host has a stripper pole in his basement, so almost everyone got a turn up on it at some point during the night.? And, of course, the constant playful flirting is always so much fun. I'll likely be off for a few days, as I'm moving to a new place soon, but we'll see how it goes.

Woo!? Merry Christmas, everyone.? Or Happy Jul, or whatever other holidays you celebrate.? Or, if you don't celebrate any of 'em, "Here, have some gifts!" works. One of the things I got from my parents was a metal telescoping backscratcher.? Is it sad that my first thought on seeing that was, "Ooh, violet wand accessory..."? Other things from this year: a book from Jim Butcher, who does the Dresden Files series, a slow-cooker, and a tablet to mess with on my computer.? I may be a poor artist, but that'll give me more incentive to TRY, at least. I also got to give some nice gifts, and every gift I gave got a good reaction, so I'm certainly happy.? The cats enjoyed their RC helicopter, once it stopped scaring them!

Violet wand got here yesterday.? Muhahaha!? It's hilarious.? I was wandering around my apartment randomly zapping anything remotely zappable, and I could hardly stop giggling.? Can't wait to use it, heh.? It's probably a good thing that I don't have a fishtank or a roommate. Also, I went to Dave and Busters tonight.? There's a game there... "Lost on Spice Island", I think it is, or something along those lines.? Absolutely hilarious.? It's a two player light gun game in a jeep with a bunch of fun minigames.? Other highlights of the night: Confidential Mission, House of the Dead 3, and the standby of Time Crisis 3.? Oh, and Ghost Squad.? Hm.? It seems like the only thing keeping traditional arcades afloat now are games with expensive peripherals.? Aside from that, I've been talking to lots of nice people, and being highly amused by the message boards here.? So, jingles, happiness, and keep up the good work! ? -Ark

Hm... so! My violet wand should be here any day now. I'm psyched! Which is silly, 'cause I'm still gonna need to wait for an opportunity to use it, but still. They're so cool! I'm a big fan. In other news... who out there has played Rock Band? Yeah, I know it seems really silly, and it's HILARIOUS to watch people play, but when you get right down to it, it's a lot of fun! I went to a LAN party this weekend, and Unreal Tournament Classic and Rock Band dominated the weekend. I got to play a fair amount of Bass, so I was happy. And my subby friend down there got to practice his falsetto on "Ballroom Blitz", "Timmy and the Lords of the Underworld", and "Joker and the Thief". It's definately a try before you buy sort of game, but SO much fun.

Okay!? So.? I uploaded two more pictures, we'll see if they make it through the approval process.? One's just a simple face shot, so it should be fine.? The other... well, uh, I am entirely unrelated to the infamous mask-wearing swashbuckling pirate sith lord cook that's been terrorizing the area... uh.? *Cough*? And I'm not particularly quirky, either.? Really!

Okay, apparently the picture got rejected.? Huh.? Maybe it was 'cause it was off center?? I don't know.? Weird.? I'll have to take another one, and see if I can make it work this time... Sadly, no big BR event this year.? Next time I'll definately be there, though.? I just didn't have enough warning this year, sadly.? Ah well!? Patience is a virtue.

A picture?? A picture!? Huzzah, forsooth!? Yeah, I've finally uploaded a picture.? Taking pictures with a timer from a camera balanced on things really isn't the best way to do it, but it's the best I've got right now.

Well, curses.? I wanted to go to an event at the local club called the LF&P, 'cause I had never been to anything there, and it seemed like a good start.? Sadly, when I got to the Metro stop that the shuttle to the club was supposed to run to, I found out that they cancelled the shuttle.? And I had no idea where the club was. Perhaps another time.
