So my date went really well last night, although we have established that we’d just like to be friends. We had a really wonderful, excited intellectual conversation about all sorts of sexual and poly related topics. We certainly connected in that capacity, but the rest just wasn’t there. At the very least, I have someone [...]

Since my birthday is only a week away, I decided to finally update my wish list and post it here. Thanks to a particularly awesome friend of mine at Extreme Restraints, this wish list is set up so that anyone who wants to purchase something for me can do so, and Extreme Restraints will ship [...]

Despite my serious bout of the flu, we decided to go ahead with our trip to the states over the weekend. I was feeling mostly better, and I didn’t want to pass up the chance to see more of America, and to cross a thing of two off of my bucket list. After some discussion, [...]

I’m writing this from bed while my body works to fight off whatever bloody bug I’ve fallen victim to. It started yesterday afternoon, when I began feeling ill, fluish, and fatigued. I drug myself upstairs to check out the situation with a thermometer, and it said I had a fever of 102 degrees. So I [...]

In my rush to get my entry about Forbidden written and posted, I forgot to talk about a few interesting aspects of the weekend that I particularly enjoyed. The first was the nudity. I have had serious body issues for years, and I am none too keen on taking my clothes off in front of [...]

I really, really want to write about my weekend at Forbidden, but it feels like my thoughts are scattered and disjointed. The entire experience was so surreal…so intense, on so many levels. It was pleasure and pain and wonder and distress, all wrapped up into a scant 41 hours. Before I begin, let me say to [...]

Yesterday morning Nia came over to watch the young ones while V and I went shopping with Varick. More specifically, to a leather store, in the hopes of finding him some suitable fet wear for this weekend. That earthy smell of tanned animal skin nearly knocks you over at the door. I just love that [...]

So, last night as Nia and I are driving to the pub where the munch is held, my phone starts ringing. Varick’s ringtone is currently Hot N Cold by Katy Perry, because the first line “You change your mind like a girl changes clothes” pretty much sums up my perception of him recently. If you [...]

I think I am done with Varick. It’s unfortunate really, especially since Forbidden is this weekend and he and I were/are going together. I may hold off breaking up with him until then, if only so that I don’t have to go alone. Things have changed between us since I have been back. Or perhaps [...]

As much fun as we had in Chicago, we were glad to get the hell out of there (as far as traffic went). We paid FOUR TOLLS on the way out, damn them. We didn’t see a lot between Chicago and Michigan, where we camped that last night. Passing Climax was amusing, as was driving [...]

We enjoyed our complementary breakfast on Thursday morning before checking out of the Holiday Inn and heading for Chicago. A generous blogger pal of mine had offered to tour us around for the day, and we were looking forward to a break from driving and having a chance to see the sights. On our way to [...]

It was humid and far too warm in our tent by the time we woke up Wednesday morning. After getting ourselves out of bed and at least mostly awake, we took down our campsite and then headed for the bathrooms to shower and get dressed before we hit the road. While we were getting the [...]

After a blessedly restful sleep at the KOA, we hit the road Tuesday morning feeling a lot more alert than we had the previous days. Wyoming was really, really hot. We discovered that ferrets will pant when they get hot enough (yes, we had V’s ferret along for the trip) and that no amount of [...]

After a very chilly and miserable night, we woke up roasting to death in our tent under the heat of the sun, and the wind was threatening to blow us away. We were fatigued and more than a little sore from sleeping on the ground, but I promised V we would stop in Billings and [...]

A summary of our Saturday, spent preparing for our week-long road trip can be found here and here. I won’t bother going over everything that happened that day, but needless to say, our trip was off to an interesting start, LOL. Sunday marked Day One of Shasta & V Do America. We said our goodbyes [...]

On the morning of Friday, July 25th I found myself on the back of a motorcycle, headed east of Calgary towards Bragg Creek. A friend of mine had offered to take me for a ride out to Elbow River, followed by lunch somewhere together. Since I’d already seen the Elbow Falls, he took me a [...]

I feel totally overwhelmed by the amount of writing I need to do to catch up with everything that has happened to me over the past week, so bear with me if it takes a while to get it all written. Also, some of it may seem brief, since I am over a week ‘behind’ [...]
