Wow...what a delight to wake up to. Thank you UncleG, Miss Bijou, Ropey, Ray, Hoops, SNL, John, Jessica, Santa, Hayes, Shibari, and BTBF. I saw the reply count up to 13 as I logged in and thought...well, this will be interesting. And it was. So, it is best at times to simply say...thank you, much appreciated.
A couple of thoughts rambled around as I made my coffee, took some dawn rising pictures of my urban garden (only to find out the batteries with a stale date of Jan 2015 have all failed), and showered my dusty self. Thoughts mostly pertaining to the anonymity afforded by the internet and how it affects behaviour. I liken it much to how some people conduct themselves while encased in 2 tonnes of plastic and steel....they are bulletproof. Having said that, 99% of the souls therin encased are some pretty good people....they just enjoy? their perceived anonymity and act out in ways they might not while face to face. But, that's life.
As for a facebook page....don't you have to have friends to have one of those??? I have a facebook page, maybe 8? members or whatever it's called. But, that's a different deal. Here in the PERB lounge there are literally hundreds who trundle through....each with a different perspective....and all of them like minded perverts. What better place to bounce off ideas? Geeze, I even have met a few friends in real life as a result of all this....not to mention, almost getting laid once.
Speaking of getting laid, I am thinking I am almost over my fear of that. Things appear to be falling in to order (hahahahahahha)....the ex is stable (I have 6 bottles of red for her in appreciation of her loan of the winemaking equipment), the kids are steady and focussed, my trials with Strapon Road are now a known and manageable thing, and I have an exmistressturnedsub moving in today. Oh, plus two days off unless I get an emergency canyoudrivethecabtodayeddie type call. So, it's all good....well, good enough.
Back to getting laid. Spermie's idea of a night at La Boheme....brilliant. They have a 4 poster suite as I recall....oh shit....scratch that, this is about getting laid, not getting tied up and fucked over. But, it's such a romantic little spot, one of Edmonton's gems. I think it would be a delightful spot for a rendezvous. This is something I will ponder most certainly. Perhaps the time has arrived to lose my 5 year cherry.
Going back to the mistressturnedsub, she's all excited about this move-in thing, and I'm happy too. She gets the bedroom, I get the lofty bed thing. I'm rarely here so it will be fine and we'll be enjoying the additional cashflow such a thing brings. There are people on earth who would kill to live in 700 s.f. with only two occupants....heated, dry, and running water. It's a veritable palace. I plan to stain the balcony and paint the railings today as she moves in....she has her mom, dad, and ex hubby assisting with the move. That's going to be sort of odd as I haven't met any of them and I am sure they are all wondering...."what the fuck is all this about?". Best, I just smile and hang out on the balcony with my rollers and brushes. I'll set up a plate of fruit and cookies for them, ensure there are some cold ones in the fridge, and just generally stay out of the way. Moving is too much like work anyway.
The day has dawned beautifully, it will be warm and sunny. These are the days when you appreciate Edmonton. It's such an odd place....apparently there is no larger city closer to the north pole than this one. But, hey, odd is good.
cheers,
eddie
