8/30/2014 4:48:23 PM: Just got my bitch on a bit - some poor sap who seems to have had the whole protocol thing with capitalising and addressing as me as 'Miss Faith' was emailing me on here.  I absolutely detest that stuff (partly because things like 'they're' instead of 'there' bug me) but as far as I'm concerned, if you really want to do that, it should only be done to your SO, not randoms on the internet.

5/5/2013 6:27:19 PM: Just a non BDSM related entry. Seeing as I worked on the weekend, I decided against working today, and now am watching 'When a City Falls'.  For those of you who haven't seen it or heard of it, it's a documentary put together on the earthquakes that hit Canterbury, primarily the September 2010 and February 2011 quakes.  It's not something that you want to watch for laughs although there are a few in it.  It's astounding to see the damage and to know that folks survived the building collapses that occurred. I was asked if I wanted to go help when both the September and February events occurred, but other folks who were more qualified and/or more eager so I elected to stay in Hawkes Bay and help out as many of my colleagues were down south.  I don't regret this decision, but if another event happened like this - heaven forbid - I would likely choose to go and help; someone else can do what I normally do. Watching the footage, particularly of the Febrauary quake, you see the amount of folks, ordinary day to day people that pitch in to try to help out wherever they can, it gives me hope for the human race.

4/19/2013 12:27:01 AM: Another day been and mostly gone.  Put up a picture which has acted as a icebreaker for a few folks to approach me and it's been a bit strange but not in a bad way.  It's a collar I've had for a few years but (oddly enough) don't wear very much, especially as it's not something that could be mistaken as a choker seeing as it has a ring and can be locked. I do usually like talking to different folks and hearing the different points of view on what makes a submissive, what is good, what is not.  It's when someone starts insisting that their way is 'the One Twue Way' that I tend to start rolling my eyes. I've been asked by a couple of different folks who live in my region if I was going to attend munches organised by a group we're all in on another site.  My answer has always been, and probably always will be, no.  I'm not interested in meeting up with others who have similar kinks for a few reasons.  Primarily, I'm paranoid that it will turn out there is someone I already know and I value the privacy I have in here.  Also, I get quite self conscious and would most likely spend the afternoon/evening disguising my face as a beetroot.

10/26/2012 1:12:18 AM: It's a little weird sometimes, thinking about what implements I find interesting to think about being hit with. For instance; electrical cord.  Easily available, easy to use (just watch out for those pesky plugs!), could do a heck of a lot of damage any no one thinks twice about seeing an extension cord around the house. Another one is a belt.  Has potential to pack a heck of a wallop, different varieties giving different sensations and can be used for much more than just holding ones garments in the correct place. And the bonus of those 2 is that you don't usually have to search all over the internet for the right one. And of course, the human male Dominant hand has its uses I've heard.

11/17/2011 4:50:45 PM: Can anybody tell me why things have to be rushed into?  Of late I seem to attract people who pretty much want to meet and then get into having sex virtually straight away.  Now, I know that for some folks that's fairly standard for them,  but what about those of us who don't do that?  Who want to see if they can build a relationship on something other than bumping uglies?  I can understand both points of view on this but that doesn't mean that I intend to meet anyone and wind up having sexy times the same day.  In fact, I'm dead against it.   I've been pretty messed up about the whole BDSM thing of late, and the above scenario would have to be a mitigating factor in it.
