97 things (as of 6/14/08)

  1. i adore silver linings.  One can always find them, you see.
  2. At one time, i’d have scoffed at the idea of falling in somethingwith someone i’ve never met.  Now i’m not so sure.
  3. i’ve never been abused physically, psychologically, or emotionally by anyone other than myself.
  4. This includes SM activities
  5. Simplicity.  It’s always the best way.
  6. i prefer cats to dogs.
  7. my favorite color is gray, any hue.
  8. i dislike gold jewelry, unless it is white gold.  i like platinum, but prefer silver to any others.
  9. Angels.  Fallen or otherwise.
  10. i like my children.
  11. Loyalty.  If i become your friend, (and that doesn’t come easily) you can count on my blind loyalty.  Don’t screw it up.
  12. (People who screw it up seldom get a second chance.)
  13. Salads with ginger sesame dressing.
  14. Sleep.  i do less of it than anyone i know, but when i do sleep, i love it.
  15. i do not like flowers and would prefer to not receive them as a gift, though i do appreciate the gesture.
  16. i feel much the same about boxes of candy.
  17. i am incredibly moved and touched by the donation of time or money to any charity, especially with regard to Autism research or programs which benefit special needs children.
  18. Way better than flowers or candy.
  19. i am cynically optimistic.
  20. Yes, i know this makes me dichotomous.
  21. i consider the word “polite” a verb.
  22. i believe that, even when you’re having the worst day ever in the whole history of days, you can still find something good about it.
  23. i also believe you don’t have to.
  24. my Mama bosses my Daddy (and everyone else) incessantly, but with such gentle southern charm that nobody seems to mind.
  25. i think she’s adorable.
  26. i like the word of the day.  Unless it’s a word i already know.  Then it annoys me.
  27. i believe in God.
  28. i also believe it is incredibly arrogant of us to believe our God is the only god.

  30. i don’t believe in Hell.
  31. i think that, when i die, i merely means i finally get to sleep in.

  34. i did not mind being creepy.
  35. Men often do not find me submissive.
  36. (Until they do.)
  37. Coffee.  Good coffee.  Wrapping my hands around a freshly poured mug … feeling the heat when i bring it to my lips.  Mm.  Yes.
  38. Black and white photography.
  39. i adore my Daddy.  i still call him Daddy.

  41. Spelling counts.
  42. i seldom see any reason to be impolite.

  45. Mostly because i look for it.
  46. i wish i could find a way to like my sisters better than i do.

  49. i am a hugecollege football fan.  Especially the SEC.
  50. LSU.  See above.  Geaux Tigers.
  51. i watch the Prime Minister’s Questions online.  So funny.  (Less so with Gordy than with Tony, but what does one do?) 
  52. Our own staid procedures have nothing to compare with Question Time. Despite that, i still watch C-Span.
  53. While we’re on politics, Daddy is a Republican, and Mama is a Democrat. 
  54. Neither situation is my fault.
  55. Just because i watch C-Span and love Question Time does not mean i adhere to any particular point of view or political agenda.  i tend to be all over the board on my views.
  56. i am not claustrophobic, but i prefer to not be in crowds.
  57. i am afraid of heights and bridges.

  61. my first BDSM-ish thoughts involved Frank Lopez, with whom i played football at the end of the street.
  62. He never knew i wanted him to tie me up, spank me, then hold me while i cried.  i settled for letting him tackle me and standing really close to him in the huddle.

  72. i wish i did not have to own anything.
  73. i have an ever growing list of places i’ve never been to which i will someday travel.
  74. When i go, i will write one book in each place, then move on. 
  75. i’d also like to be exquisitely tortured in each place.  i’m of the opinion that pain tastes differently everywhere.
  76. i have no tolerance for chat abbreviations such as “u” for “you” and “r” for “are/our.”  i find them lazy, not cute.
  77. The best restaurant in the world was in the back of a small Mexican grocery in Mountain View, CA.  Carne asada burritos … sublime.
  78. Earthquakes are way scarier than hurricanes.
  79. i’m afraid of many things, but i am not a coward.
  80. i watch.  Always.

  88. i named the hero in my first book “Trevor.”
  89. Razor point sharpie markers in assorted colors.
  90. i have to hide what i write from myself when they are complete or i will compulsively edit them.  For that reason, on this blog, i write and post immediately.
  91. i edited that last statement three times.
  92. Make that four.
  93. i’ve learned not to covet time.

  1. We are very much alike in so many ways. Why LSU? Number 35 and 36 are true about every good submissive I have known. They submit to only “The One”.
