An Alphabetical Extravaganza


Alana tagged me.
Bitch, I thought, but in a good way.
Can you believe that hot spanky babe tagged me?
Damn.
Eight facts to share, rules to post, other people to tag.
For fuck’s sake, what am I going to write about?
Grumble, grumble.
Hell, I might as well tell you the rules:

• We have to post these rules before we give you the facts.
• Players start with eight random facts/habits about themselves.
• People who are tagged need to write their own blog about their eight things and post these rules.
• At the end of your blog, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names.
• Don't forget to leave them a comment telling them they're tagged, and to read your blog.

I don’t know what to write—so I better take a breath and jump in!
Just fourteen when I got my first electric razor (for leg shaving), I immediately zipped off the hair on my, um, hoo ha.
Knock wood, throw salt is my favorite expression because I’m extremely superstitious—I throw salt when I use it, no only when I spill it.
Luscious Demi Moore once said about me, “There goes another wanna-be starlet.”
My first two paychecks for smut stories were $500 each—I thought I was going to be rich right away.
Now what?
Oh, yes, "Four on the Floor" is absolutely, totally, 100% true, down to the dogs who’d had their voice boxes removed.
People often comment about my rings because I always wear one on the middle finger of my right hand—without a ring on this finger, I feel naked.
Quite opposite of what you might think, when I was a masseuse, lesbians hit on me far more than my male clients.
Randy me—I’ve shared a bed with two of the authors in my books—one male, one female.
So, there’s eight facts that you might not have known.
Twiddling my thumbs while thinking of eight more people to name.
Um…
Very well, then, I think I’ll just tag some Lust Biters.
Who knows—they might play along.
X-ing out Kristina Lloyd and Shanna who were already tagged by Alana; Portia who was tagged by someone else; and Olivia, Mathilde, and Deanna who don’t have blogs; I’m going with: Nikki, Madelynne, Madeline, Kate, Teresa, Dayle, Gwen, and Janine. And just to be a pain in her arse, I'll tag Kristina again—maybe if two people hit her, she'll fold and play along (but I won't hold my breath).
You all don’t have to do anything alphabetically—I just like the ABCs.
Zounds—I’m done.

XXX,
Alison

That was very cute, hon. Made me smile. And I can understand the razor, but I will admit, my first down there was Nair. "Don't put it near-" "What's the worse that could happen?" (Nothing, by the way, still do it.)

Thanks, t'sade!

You know, I should have just tagged my readers. I'm going to open it up in the comments. Any of you want to share eight facts about yourselves? Go for it! As the ultimate voyeur, I am all ears.

1.My first pubic hair alarmed me to the point of plucking it out, alright!

2.As an infant I ate 14 bananas in one sitting and have never liked them since.

3.I've recently effortlessly got rid of the small scar from giving birth to my first daughter by massaging on avocado oil and taking calc. fluor. tissue salts - whee!

4.I met my husband when I was 17...

5. I'm hideously, unhygienically messy.

6. I'm tactlessly honest. When my friend Brian dared me to try and make him cry (aged 4) I poked him in the eye. Still don't see what he was so upset about, what did he expect me to do, insult his mother's honour?

7. I'm proud of the fact that even though my four year old tells me she hates me every day, I've never been tempted to say it back!

8. The most romantic and sexy male character ever is Bagheera in The Jungle Book. Have you read it as an adult? Gorgeous! Is that a fact about me? Well, I used to have an occaisional inaginary black panther companion as a child. I didn't believe he was there, but I wanted him to be. I might think about writing in the same way.

Blogger t'Sade said...

Oh, eight little facts. I can do that:

1. I use Nair on my arm pits and between my legs since I really don't like hair there, not because it is sexy. Well, maybe a bit. :)
2. My handle, t'Sade, started off as an acronym of my name and someone else's (TSADE). Later, it ended up being the names I use for my goddess (t'S, actually ST but I reversed it to keep it tS which is why there is a ' in it) and god (de) and "a" being "and". I didn't find out later it was a Hebrew letter (Tsade), which I have some religious foundation in, and related to de'Sade (as one teacher asked me).
3. I don't like people knowing my gender. I don't consider myself male or female, just me. My goal is to be on that line that people simply can't guess.
4. For the last five years, I have written a novel as a present for someone every year. Some are naughty (Dolcett Girls, Mummy's Girl) while others aren't.
5. I'm a niche erotic writer (as anyone who has gone to my website or read my flash fiction would know), a beginning mainstream writer (two novels begging to be published), a programmer who gives away most of their stuff for free, and a manager who makes over six digits a year. All of these lives are very, very separate from each other.
6. I am willing to wait years for something to happen. A year and a date to be with my mate, 15 months to learn Reiki I, 5 years to learn Reiki II. Patience is probably my strongest virtue.
7. I used to be part of a threesome for two years to Fluffy and Poofy. It ended when they got married to each other and moved to MN. I moved to IL half a year later. Fluffy left Poofy to come back to me and we've been together for the ten years since.
8. I'm a non-practicing polyamorous. I love everyone and would love to have friends with benefits, but Fluffy is no longer comfortable with it, so I don't do it.

And wow, t'sade... do you think truths beget truths? I was dreading this post—have put the thing off for four days. But now, I'm enjoying the results. Anyone else care (or dare) to share?

7:48 AM  
Blogger t'Sade said...

I think truth begets truth. Plus, if you are honest about yourself, you'll find it easier to accept things about yourself and others.

Also, I'm a flat-out voyeur and I really don't believe in TMI. I really love to know the little details, because something mundane or uncomfortable about yourself is still part of who you are and gives dimension to someone. Cherish every little thing, for nothing is mundane to everyone.

Plus, if I believe if I'm going to enjoying watching others, it is fair present myself when challenged. :P

Blogger jothemama said...

Truths definitely beget truths. The question is, is it a good thing, and where will it end!

I love the Fluffy and Poofy story, especially when told so dispassionately. Sounds like a movie in the making...

p.s. t'sade, as you can see, patience is *not* one of my strong points.

Here are 8 facts (all true, though I know some people do the 7/1 version).

1. I like the feelings that precede orgasm even more than I like the orgasm.
2. I don't care about chocolate, and I've never liked popcorn.
3. Though I sometimes revise and rewrite my emails and blog comments before sending them, sometimes several times over, I can still fail to catch a typo.
4. I am congenitally missing one tooth. My orthodontist extracted its counterpart on the other side to preserve symmetry, then moved everything in to close up the spaces.
5. As a teen, though I was familiar with the pleasures of touching myself and had known the facts of life forever, I was somehow ignorant of the fact that I could actually make myself ejaculate! (I guess I thought that in waking life this would only be triggered by intercourse.) So until I discovered "complete" masturbation at age 18, I relied on wet dreams to finish things off.
6. I get easily bored with myself, but I like comfortable routines.
7. I love the feeling of taking a shower but find drying off to be a tedious chore.
8. When I was a kid, I sometimes fantasized that my life was a TV show, and I when I walked to school I imagined undefined theme music playing. These fantasies were vague, and nothing different from my own, prosaic experiences happened in the "show"--i.e., it wasn't about exciting, fictional events or larger-than-life comedy transpiring. I think the appeal lay strictly in seeing myself at the center of something that was (in the fantasy) being packaged into the intrinsic glamour of television.

oh, Jeremy, you inspired me. See, there are some things I never think to tell. Good! Now I *want* to play. Right!
1. I also imagined my life as a TV show (cause I'm addicted, you know) and sometimes...um...I still do. Shh!
2. When they extracted my wisdom teeth, instead of four, I had five. So, they pulled four and had to extract one...I am extra wise.
3. Thanks to my sister, I have nearly drowned twice. Yet I am not afraid of water.
4.The first dirty thing I ever read was Nancy Friday's My Secret Garden. To this day, if you pick it up, there are sections that will open immediately...ahem...
5. I read Robert Frost's poetry out loud at night sometimes. LOUDLY.
6. You can tell if one of my favorite songs comes on because I break out in goose bumps.
7. I still have love notes from my very first love. Yet, in a fit of rage years and years ago threw a naked picture of him off of a balcony. God knows where it ended up.
8. If I were a stripper my name would be Yum-Yum Cloville

1. My ideal lover would be someone who makes me feel as sexy as my motorcycle does.
2. I used to have a pet ostrich.
3. When I adore someone I draw them a picture and give it to them, just like a little kid!
4. I love cigars, but despise cigarettes.
5. I love to masturbate while listening intently to classical music. (Luckily, one of my co-workers is a Ph.d. in composisition and writes amazing, avant-garde chamber music that I insist on recordings of as often as I can get them. He's crazy flattered by my enthusiasm. tee-hee!)
6. It's very satisfying somehow that the things I really love to study will never make me any money.
7. My rampant voyeurism has gotten me into a bit of trouble with my best friend. Accident!! It's alright now, though, thank goodness.
8. Public speaking doesn't scare me at all.

4. I love men - everything about them - almost to the obsession level, especially oral.

5. My breasts are not sensitive unless I am on the edge of an orgasm.

I love reading everyone's 8. Very enjoyable reading today, I was looking forward to what was in the suitcase too! But oh what fun this has been.

1. I have always wanted to be a rock star but was never blessed with the voice to accomplish my dream, but when drunk I feel I pull it off most famously.
2. I am one of those people that when someone meets me, I know their life story in 15 minutes even some of their darkest secrets.
3. I only have hair on my head and am obsessed with my body being perfectly smooth. (seems to be a running theme here.)
4. I will NEVER work for a woman and have never met a woman in charge that could handle the power.
5. I am a hopeless flirt and love to see the want in someones eyes that I have created with my flirting talent.
6. I should of been a sex therapist because everyone I know, men and women alike ask me advice on the subject.
7. I love the fact that I have reached a point in my life that I don't give a shit what anyone thinks and I am confident in who I am.
8. I have a total obsession with my eyelashes being perfect and will spend a lot of time with applying mascara and then using an old earring to seperate the lashes to perfection. M

1. I love the power I feel giving a man a blow job and I love the feeling of a man coming in my mouth.
2. I would eat french fries everyday if I could.
3. I fantasize about fucking my boss.
4. I love men looking at my breasts and the thought of them taking my nipples into their mouths turns me on.
5. I'm obsessed with chocolate and I think chocolate can cure me of anything that depresses me.
6. I love to be in control at work but when it comes to sex I like to have no control
7. Dirty talk makes me orgasm harder, stronger and wetter than anything else
8. I've never had anal sex before but the sheer thought of it excites me enough to try it.

Okay, t'sade, here goes;

You said, Later, it ended up being the names I use for my goddess...

I'm probably being dense, but I don't know what that means. Could you elaborate?

Jeremy, you said I get easily bored with myself, but I like comfortable routines.

What sort of routines? A specific way of undressing or getting ready for bed, or...?

Smut Girl, you said I read Robert Frost's poetry out loud at night sometimes. LOUDLY. What is your favorite one?

Bailey, um, you're not going to tell us, I'm sure. But you said My rampant voyeurism has gotten me into a bit of trouble with my best friend. Accident!! It's alright now, though, thank goodness. What? What happened?!

Online Lover, you said I love reading porn/erotica but don't enjoy watching it. Favorite porn to read? Have you ever found a video you liked?

M, you said I will NEVER work for a woman and have never met a woman in charge that could handle the power. Have you ever worked for a woman? It's funny, because I've almost exclusively worked for women. Probably 90% of my bosses have been female.

FF, you said I'm obsessed with chocolate and I think chocolate can cure me of anything that depresses me. What type of chocolate? Expensive gourmet? Hershey's? Favorite color of MnMs? (Couldn't resist...)

And will others ask/answer, too?

Favorite one:

"Birches". Most esp. the following lines:

But swinging doesn't bend them down to stay.
Ice-storms do that. Often you must have seen them
Loaded with ice a sunny winter morning
After a rain. They click upon themselves
As the breeze rises, and turn many-colored
As the stir cracks and crazes their enamel.
Soon the sun's warmth makes them shed crystal shells
Shattering and avalanching on the snow-crust--
Such heaps of broken glass to sweep away
You'd think the inner dome of heaven had fallen.
They are dragged to the withered bracken by the load,
And they seem not to break; though once they are bowed
So low for long, they never right themselves:
You may see their trunks arching in the woods
Years afterwards, trailing their leaves on the ground
Like girls on hands and knees that throw their hair
Before them over their heads to dry in the sun...
-Robert Frost-

Ah. And don't get me started on T.S. Eliot ;)

Now! Jeremy, *I* would love to know what tooth was missing (btw. that friggin' cracked me up to no end..).

What sort of routines? A specific way of undressing or getting ready for bed, or...?

I like to take a walk at around the same time each day, have a drink at around the same time each evening, go on a summer vacation trip at around the same time each year, etc. The timing of these things isn't rigid (except for coffee, without which I quickly shut down!), but I generally like it when they settle into semi-consistent patterns. My wife and I share a lot of these routines, and we reinforce each other's shared enjoyment both of the specific routines and the routine of routines. In other words, these enjoyable things are made more enjoyable to us by their "predictable" patterns. Whereas for many people, I imagine the predictability would probably be a negative factor. I bet some people go out of their way not to have their various pleasures at the same time every day/week/year, or even have the same pleasures every time.

thinking more on the subject of what you asked, Alison. I think since I am such a dominating female that women feel threatened by me perhaps. They tend to be jealous and then become abusive with their power using it to try to somehow beat me down. I am however not easily tamed so then insues the all famous power struggle. M

I have been trying to come up with 8 things to say all day! And now I feel like I am copying because some of the 8 I came up with seem to be common to many of us. But here it goes.

1) I didn't learn to masturbate until I was 27 years old.

2) I didn't have my first orgasm with a man until almost 6 months after that. (and I had been married for 8 years...now celebrating 6 months of divorce or and he thought my desire to be a sub was ODD)

3) When I was young (about 8)I watched the spanking scene in a cartoon version of Jack and the Beanstalk over and over. Him bending down on his knees and his mother whipping him with a broom. I didn't know how it made me feel but I just couldn't turn away.

4) My first real boyfriend and I complied a list of kinky situations that we wanted to act out. We would pass the list to each other in the hallway of our high school and add to it during classes.

5) The only one we ever acted out was teacher/student and I was the teacher. I spanked him over my knee, with a ruler, with his grandparents downstairs.

6) I am a total sub in the bedroom but in control everywhere else.

7)I want my man, my Master (only in the bedroom)to push me harder. He is afraid to hurt me. To use tools. He doesn't get that crying is part of the goal. Not a reason to stop.

8) I keep my naughty blogs bookmarked in a tab called "Stuff" its divided into sections for stories sites and blogs.

So there they are…

1. Seemingly opposite of the other posters I first masturbated at 14.
2. Consequently I had my first orgasm at 14.
3. However, I didn't have sex until four months after my 19th birthday.
4. I'm not a total sub, but I like to relinquish control in regards to sex.
5. I love to get dressed up (skirts, dresses, high heels, etc) but adore "home nights" in nothing but a tank top and yoga pants.
6. One of my favorite compliments I've ever received was "you're timeless" (it was in one of those beautiful vs. sexy discussions). I feel sexy - but like to know others think of me as timeless.
7. I bite during sex. Almost always. My bf loves it.
8. I know there are non-sexual fact s about me but I can't seem to remember any of them right now.

They all came up together because they had the same file name with numbers at the end.
I confessed immediately, but I think the worst part had to have been when he asked me "Which one did you watch?!?"

Mortifying.

The Origin of t'Sade

No, not that impressive. It started off somewhere in junior/high school, when I got bored and wanted to change my name. One of the things I started to get was writing "The Shadow and D* E*" where D* is my first name and E* was my last name. The "was" is a key part and a more fascinating story and one that will take a lot more to get out of me.

So, I wrote "The Shadow and D* E*" pretty much everywhere and I thought it was a cute idea. Okay, I wasn't that impressive, but I was a loner and an outcast and that didn't make it any worse. Well, at some point, I got tired of writing that long-ass thing, so I just used the acronym: TSADE.

Along comes my junior year of high school, filled with angst, depression, and exactly one suicide attempt. The reason it was an attempt was the same reason I found religion. Sort of, but it ended up being that way. It was a vision of sorts, of my shadow telling me to stop. And I listened to her (which is also why I cannot try again). So, I had my shadow. In exploring the images that saved me, I decided to keep the name "The Shadow" but it ended up feeling more right to name her "Shadow Thee."

Some years later, I finally came to terms with the masculine side of things (okay, LOTS of years later). Before that point, I hated all things male (grew up in a female dominate family, female dominated business, etc). It was a puzzle and a struggle. The point I found it was during a guided meditation at a pagan festival in Colorado. I had this image of a dragon (yeah, corny) in the sun. Suddenly, I had an image that attached itself to All Things Male. Tall, sexy, bald and the skin so black it sucked in the light. Yummy. I finally had something to help me understand the other half of my life and he did. Yeah, it was probably only parts of my mind, but I needed that image, that "person" to help me. From there, I came up with a name "Draconis Enigma" or the puzzle dragon.

So, you have Shadow Thee and Draconis Enigma. Keeping the "the shadow" bit, you have TS and DE (TSADE). When I flipped the name, the ' and lower-case "t" was there to point out it is reversed, so... t'Sade. Okay, it was also a eventual migration from a desire to be different, to finding a new path in life, and later became a label for myself. :) Every time I see it, I remember why life is precious and violence/death is not an answer (shadow) and why you must accept the male and female in yourself and others to find yourself (draconis).

I used t'Sade for pagan handles for a long time, but as life went on, it kind of expanded to fit the three areas I write about: sex, religion, and politics. You know, the three things that people aren't suppose to bring up in conversation.

Um... does that help explain it? :) It's probably more than you were expecting.

I love it, t'sade. I love that you took the time to write that out for us. Thank you very much!

And here are 8 more of mine. Just for the hell of it....

1. My favorite food is sushi. My favorite sushi is ikura with quail egg. (People who fish consider this “bait.”)

2. Out of vanity, I refused to wear my glasses in high school, and I generally sat at the back of the room. Because I couldn’t see the chalkboard, I often didn’t know what was going on. I wrote porn in my notebooks to pass the time.

3. Although I graduated near the top of my class and got more than decent SAT scores, I despised college and dropped out of three different universities.

4. I’ve worked steadily since I was twelve, and I’ve had more than 50 jobs. My most difficult was answering phones at an architectural agency on Wilshire Blvd. I never could get the names of the partners correct. (Now, I can say their names in my sleep.)

5. Sometimes I tell lies so well that I start to believe they’re true.

6. Since I was a kid, men have threatened to spank me. It’s odd as my exterior is solid-gold good girl. But a certain type of man has always been able to see through the façade. The first time I understood this was a come on, was when I worked at the beauty supply. A co-worker’s husband—very handsome, very French—saw me make a mistake. He stood behind me and whispered, “You should be spanked for that.” I was 13.

7. One of the first rejections I ever received was simply my story back with the word NO in bold black letters on the top.

8. The last ten songs I bought on itunes were: Goody Two Shoes by Adam Ant, Sly by The Cat Empire, Pepper by Butthole Surfers, I Feel Good by James Brown, Strange Weather by Marianne Faithful, Here I Go Again by Whitesnake, Ballerina by Leona Naess, Pain by Everlast, Keep Your Hands to Yourself by The Georgia Satellites, and Smoke Gets in Your Eyes by the Platters.

Mmm, sushi. I just convinced my boss to spring for sushi for the entire office today. :D

I had glassed since second grade. They were coke bottles then and they got even worse by the time I hit my twenties. Right before I had eye surgery, I was 20/1000 (what most people can see a 1000 feet away, I could see 20). After surgery, 20/25 with a few minor drawbacks. What an amazing difference. Plus, people can see that I have blue/gray/green eyes; they change with my mood.

Working young is different, isn't it? I started working when I was ten, for my mother's company. I've been doing that for basically 20 years now (plus a few years of two other jobs). It's really colored how I see jobs, but these days, the stick with the same company for decades doesn't seem to be as appreciated as much.

Have you ever accidentally said the name of an architect while in the throes of passion? That might take some explaining, I imagine.

Well, at such a large firm (ahem, that's a noun, but hold that thought), I imagine there was always something going up, and countless erections to attend to.

Apologies if these are too obvious, but I couldn't resist such a perfect, uh, opening.

Alison you are so intriguing. Since you shared 8 more facts (or are they hence #5 on your list);o) and we are having so much fun with it I will throw a few more in. ;)

number two on my list... well a friend of mine I only met once in person (we correspond my computer), she was hesitant on writing her 8 so I wrote them for her and they were so her she used them.

for silly fun to get away from being an adult me and a friend of mine had a few drinks and went to the the grocery store and sought out people not keeping an eye on their carts and placed things in them, one example we saw an elderly gentleman we put a can of FDS (feminine deoderant spray) in his cart and then we got in line behind him listening to him defending himself to the clerk that he didn't put that in his cart. It feels good to laugh!

my vanity is horrible too, and I seem to impose it on others. I can't stand when a woman wears sandals and hasn't bothered to pedicure their feet the dry cracked heel thing just grosses me out!

Silly things to confess I know but interested to see others confess silly little things, it makes interesting reading. M

Hmm, 8 things…

1) My appearance at work is that of the stereotypical business woman. No one knows that I am almost completely covered with tattoos from the knees and elbows up.

2) I am a total Top, and can orgasm just from listening to the sound of my sub crying.

3) My favorite drink is a mix of Stoli Rasberi, sodawater, and a splash of grenadine.

4) I wear high heels every day.

5) I never wear underwear.

6) I read obsessively. Generally, I can finish 3-4 novels a week.

7) I have terrible insomnia (thus the reading so much!!). I consider myself lucky if I get more than 3 hours of sleep a night.

8) Feet are my least favorite body part. I get manicures religiously just so that I can stand to look at them.

now'e but I thought I'd share my 8 anyway!

1. I hardly every have a decent orgasm anymore, I get right to the brink and then it dissapears.

2. I don't know how to fantasize. but I haqve a great imagination.

3. DH and I started dating prom night... our first night was wild... I later found out that it was a bet between DH and his friend on who could sleep with me.

4. I get hit on by women fairly often... I have never been tempted.

5. I have never had a threesome... I don't like to share, and I think I would have jealousy issues.

6. I am only 5 feet tall. 123lbs. I am not happy with my body... maybe that explains #1

7. I have two kids

8. I lost my virginity when I was 15 4 days after my mom died... I had more partners then I like to admit between then and when DH and I first did the deed.

Violet Blue did something like this! She and her friend went out and put together odd assortments of items at grocery stories and photographed them.

The pictures are on her blog somewhere. I loved it. Like art in motion. But I'm one of those crazy people who enjoys installations by Tracey Emin.

Any more 8s?

8 is great! Isn' that something they said on Seasame Street or something...

Ok I figured I might as well take a stab at this.

1. I like to lay in bed and watch the marine layer (grey clouds) dissapear until it's eventually a flawless blue, thn I like to get up and start my day.
2.I positively will be driven mad by repititious, high pitched sounds and also animals, particularily barking dogs even though it's lower it drives me crazy.
3. I started dating/getting to know 4 people in May and now I'm down to three.
4. I only have 7 classes left to achieve my degree in Communications, but I have no true desire to go back.
5.I am officially a quarter of a century old (and 4 days...).
6. I actually enjoy being the "beer girl" at my golf course.
7. The quickest way to get me to comply or simply melt is by pulling very hard on my hair...I'm all yours.
8. I often want to rearrange the furniture in my apartment, but refuse to do it until I have the perfect plans laid out in my head...which hasn't happened in a very long time.

Better late than never!

1. I moved out of my parents’ house and into my own apartment at fifteen, and I have never regretted it.
2. Words- spoken or on the page- have way more sexual power for me than images or even, at times, touch. I still come remembering things that were said to me five years ago. And they can be simple. Like, “I’m going to fuck you now,” said just right, has the power to make me melt.
3. I seem to embody both sides of every coin. Some days I feel sexually powerful in dresses and high heels- other days, only the perfect jeans and black t-shirts and boots will do. I’m a pretty hardcore intellectual but also a dreamy writer. I have a Laura Ingalls Wilder side- I play bluegrass, brew beer, garden, cook a lot, and generally like to my own stuff- but I would go completely crazy if I moved out of the city.
6. I don’t consider myself sexually monogamous, and don’t expect my partner to be, but I really don’t do the whole open poly ‘radical honesty’ thing. I respect it- but I prefer don’t ask, don’t tell.
7. When I was twelve, I stole an electric toothbrush to masturbate with because I didn’t know how to get hold of a vibrator. (It took me three months after that to find my local ‘sex boutique.’)
8. While I like other things in real life, I’m a spanking fetishist first and forever. Creepy though it may be, I still remember the details of spankings my friends told me about in elementary school.

also, Alison- I also refused to wear my glasses in school and have worked since I was twelve.

Here's where I come back to ask more questions...

Irish Girl, you said:

Any preference?

thelegirl, you said:

Um, I don't have a question. I just like reading that line over and over.

Oh, and Mouse, you said:

God, I am right there with you. I have a great memory for those little audio bites. A date once took me up to the Griffith Observatory in LA to park and make out. He had me so turned on. I was rocking in my seat, my stocking-clad legs rubbing together, and he said, "I love how you move. You're so fucking sexy." I can still hear his tone, the words, precisely as he said them.

And what is with these bad girls who wear glasses? Should we form a club?

My first reaction to this game intruding on my favourite story was like that of femmegryl: “A pox on the houses of those who started it.” But now that I see what fun is being had, I'm thinking it's really not so bad for Claudine to spend the entire weekend with her hands against the wall and tears on her cheek, while she waits for Alison to look in her suitcase, and while we discuss our secret lives in the comments section.

Here are my own eight factoids:

1.In elementary school my entire class was spanked twice, in grades two and eight. Guess what religion my school was.
2.I was a kid when the movie McLintock first came out. I remember clipping out the ad for it and keeping it in a secret place. The picture in the ad, which I've since learned is of Maureen O'Hara being spanked over John Wayne's lap, fascinated me to no end.
3.Although I finished grade 8 at the top of my class, I never graduated from high school.
4.And although I did more than 10 years of post-secondary education, I still don't have a university degree.
5.I have no tatoos or piercings. I never took drugs. Yet I contracted an autoimmune disease at age 15.
6.The first and only thing I ever shoplifted, and the first porn I ever read, was a copy of Will Henry's “Spanking Stewardesses”. (I was 18 or so).
7.A few years ago, if you googled my name, you would see that I had voted to change the name of the newsgroup “Alt Sex Spanking” to “Soc. Sex Spanking”.
8.Even though I'm a sensitive new age guy and women consider me a good listener, I've ridden motorcycles since I was a teenager. My current bike is a BMW.

Oh, and Mouse, what happened to your 4 and 5?

Hey Karl,

Well, I had the same sorts of feelings you did when I got tagged. I mean, I never plan to turn this blog into one of those types with pictures of my pets (I don't have any pets) or recipes for my favorite angel-food cake (I don't like cake).

But as I mentioned, Susie Bright tagged Chelsea Girl, who tagged Alana, who tagged me, and I felt both honored and a bit obligated.

And then—to my delight—you all came up such delicious answers. I wonder if we can come up with something like this every month.

Truly, this is what I had in mind when I suggested a salon. A way for me to hear from you, too.

XXX,
Alison

femmegyrl,
Thanks! I posted your comment on Price of Pleasure, but I thought I'd cut and paste your 8 here, too:

1.) Rothko paintings take my breath away literally, and i can't explain it.
2.) i a huge klutz but i take afro carribian dance with live drummers and make a fool out of myself once a week.
3.) i swear that anal sex changes me - like on a molecular level.
4.) i don't care about shoes, can't walk in heels and would generally rather be barefoot.
5.) i have matronly upper arms.
6.) i've had my heart broken twice.
7.) for accessories that make me smile it's always going to be earrings!
8.) in college i worked as a ohone sex operator. and most of the time i sort of loved it!

there are my 8 Alison. hope you enjoy. xox

Rothko works for me, too. I remember the first time I saw one of his paintings. I was blown away.

Okay, here are my eight...which are arriving a little late, ironically, because I was working on deadline all day yesterday for our own lovely Alison! ;)

1) I am a spiritual seeker and student of the Enneagram; the Work is my utmost priority in life.

2) I go by the pen name Emerald in writing erotica (and doing porn, stripping, and webcamming) because I have wanted a reason to go by that name for many years, and when I started writing erotica it seemed like a great opportunity. It is my birthstone. :)

3) My orientation has been nocturnal ever since I was a child; when it is dark outside, that is when I want to be awake. If the sun is out and not on its way down, I generally prefer to be sleeping. I don’t “try” to be this way -- it seems to be a natural orientation. My general schedule now (as well as what I consider my ideal one) is to go to bed between 4 and 5am and get up around 1pm.

4) I have an inexplicable fixation with circles and things that are round, and this has also been present in me since I was a child. This is prevalent enough in me that my cat’s name is Circle. :)

5) I adore glitter, sequins, bright colors, and shiny/sparkly things and especially love to wear them. ;)

6) Even though I grew up in the midwest, I am a lifelong New York Yankees fan for the pure and simple reason that my father is/has been all my life.

7) I have never had a drink (alcoholic) in my life.

8) I was one of those girls that have been talked about now within the last few years who had anal sex (many years) before vaginal sex in order to “preserve my virginity.” This was more than twelve years ago.

Blogger Mouse said...

OK, I totally can't count. I wrote those off in a hurry! Here's four and five...

4. I'm such a bottom- though not always a 'sub'- that I'd rather not initiate sex, because being placed in a top position turns me right off most of the time. But I worked as a dominatrix for two years, and I was great at it.

5. I'm in my twenties and have never learned to drive- chalk it up to being a city girl and a bicycle geek.

3:48 PM  
Blogger Alison Tyler said...

Mouse, I didn't even notice 4 & 5 were missing. As an editor, I'm embarrassed to admit that. I think it was because your confessions pulled me in so fiercely, I forgot how to count to ten. Or eight.

Thanks for filling in the blanks!
