Formspring me!

I've been seeing these lil boxes popping up everywhere recently.
So, I thought... hmmm, I might need one, too. lol
Got something you've always wanted to know about me or something you'd like to ask me? Go for it. Yes, anonymous is ok.

At some point, I'll find a spot somewhere on my sidebar for this lil box to live
(under "Me & Memes", maybe?), but in the meantime, I just wanted to let readers know I've now joined the formspring.me bandwagon. ;)
Ask away . . .
Your Q may even appear as a future post!

ps. Thanks to everyone who voted for the recent pic of my eyes.
It's now my new avatar! =)
And I haven't forgotten about folks that I need to visit from last week's 5th Anniversary HNT ... just outta time to be online today, is all. Hope to remedy my slackassness by week's end. *fingers crossed*

*UPDATE* ~ 5/27
2 Qs asked and answered:

What's a nice girl like you doing in a place like this?
LOL! Who said I was nice? ;)
But, for the sake of your Q, I'll say I'm doing the same thing every other nice (or bad) girl is doing here.... sharing little bits of myself & trying to learn more little bits about myself in the process.

Are we gonna get vacation pics soon? fabsterrant
I went to Vegas not too long ago, but I didn't take a single pic. My next vacation isn't slated until September, and any pix I take might be shared again, but only under lock 'n key.

~*HNA(5)*~

3 lil things to follow:
1) HNT -- w/a Q (please answer!)
2) OHNT secret revealed
3) A notice

WoW! It's already been 2 yrs since I joined other pioneers here?
Can you believe it's the 5th anniversary of HNT?!?!
Well, it is.. and Osbasso made a request:
"Repost your very first HNT. Also post a current re-creation of that picture! If you can't find/remember your first, use your oldest. Celebrate five years of HNT!"

Who can't find or remember their first HNT???
Of course I remember my first.
I joined the madness on Sept. 29, 2005 - only 4 months after HNT started, with this image of my eyes:
Yes, it was originally that tiny, due to 1st-timer jitters I guess, lol.
It soon became my avatar pic and has remained such, ever since. =)

Earlier today, I tried to recreate the shot.
My eyes are my eyes; they haven't changed that much in 5 years.
But yeah, I think I spy a few more lines 'n wrinkles around them. Grr.
And a new mole by the side of my eye! Ack.
Oh well, we all age, right? pfft. lol
Dunno why the freckle between my eyes isn't visible in the first, cuz I've had that since childhood. Maybe it's cuz the 1st pic is SO TINY!
I'll spare you a recreation of only 100 pixels wide, k? LOL

Q: Think I should change my avatar to this more recent pic of my eyes or leave it?
To give a side by side comparison, it'd change from:
to
Thoughts/opinions?

Secret revealed!.... I realize OHNT is anonymous & I debated on whether or not to make this admission about my 1 & only submission there, but a few people made a guess on which image was mine from the April 8th postings over there and so...
No, I wasn't the sunburned one.
No, I wasn't in B&W, wearing knee-hi black boots.
No, that's not my ass on reddish sheets.
No, I'm not busting out all over. (wrong Thurs posting anyway)
No, Cool Bitch & I aren't together in a tub (or was that a hottub? -- altho we might stage a bubbled shot like that sometime! What say you, CB? hehehe)

So, I assume everybody gives up on guessing now, right?
I was .... *drumroll* - lol .... HERE!!!
For those tired of clicking links:

"Me & My Doppelgänger"
Yes, the image is kinda old (1 of many outtakes from HNH back in the day), and yes that's a wig, lol, but yes, it's also lil ole ME touching cold nips w/myself in a mirror. ;P

NOTICE for the masses!
I'm always accepting masks here.
Check out the next post down for 2 recent ones.
Join the fun, y'all! =)

Oh yeah, and...
Happy
5th Anniversary!!!
ps. I know it's not Thursday yet, but I'm entering camo in a matter of minutes (did you even know that I've been OUT of camo for the past several days? lol) ... so somebody please put me up if Osbasso forgets and I'll be around to visit (& respond) as soon as I can, k?
*group hug*

2 New Masks!

Just a quick post to let folks know about TWO more peeps sending in masks for my Masquerade bloggy room, YAY! =)
First up, you can find Autumn in TWO diff fun, naughty masks here.
And Mojo has submitted yet another great updated mask here.
(just scroll down past his other 3, lol)
Please take a moment to visit my Masqueraders and leave 'em a lil whisper, won't you?

Thanks Autumn & Mojo!

And remember, anyone can submit a new or updated mask to be tacked on my wall over there ANYtime.
So what are you shy folks waiting on, a personal invitation? lol ;)

~*HNED*~

Happy Half-Nekkid
!!!

No, that's not my ass.
I *wish* I could paint that map on myself, but it ain't gonna happen. Maybe I need to check with Santa on the whereabouts of the bodypainting artist I requested back in Dec '08?! =/

Oh well, onwards ...

This HNT is kinda late. In fact, it's getting down to the wire to get this "in" today & I nearly missed posting it at all (work got in the way of FUN today, gah! - and nope, I have no kids for "Bring Your Child To Work Day"), but I *did* manage to complete a diff kind of task today. I snipped one of the many iris lilies growing in my yard (wow, they smell fanTAStic!) & then snapped a few pix.
As usual, I had trouble deciding which one to share, so the numbers were thrown into a reliable hat and out came something higher than 20 but lower than 25. Voila.
Yikes, that's BRIGHT!
*reaching for sunglasses*

So here. To appease my proclivity for mood lighting -
A diff one, made into a quick PShop image...
After I finished it, I gave serious 2nd-thought-consideration to going back & cropping it a LOT more, but, well, whatever, runnin' outta time, haven't posted a holiday HNT in for-frikkin-ever, so fuck it.


What did YOU do special for Earth Day?

Note to regulars & random visiter-commenters & HNTers ~
Some of you know how waaaaay farrrr behind I am on making my bloggy rounds or even responding to your comments.
I plan to remedy that by the end of the w/e.
Ready for a spaz attack? ;)

Let them have CAKE!

DISCLAIMER: Poor taste to follow a post about death with one about oral sex?
Mebbe, but we all find our own ways to move past grief, so don't judge mine, k?
Besides, this is MY blog & I can write whatever I feel like. ;P

Some readers may recall that I kept track of how many times hubby & I had sex on my dayplanner and that the year-end tally for 2009 was 29... but what I didn't mention was anything concerning oral sex... specifically about receiving oral sex.
That number for 2009 was ZERO. It's still zero... and thinking back, I don't recall how long it's been since I last received any form of oral sex from hubby. Two years? Longer?
Dunno, cuz I didn't keep track that far back & honestly don't remember.

Why do I bring this up today?
Welllllll, some may not be aware, but a month ago, March 14, was Steak & BJ Day. No, hubby didn't get a steak or a blowjob that day. He was in Vegas, working. Or maybe he *did* eat a steak. Maybe he got a BJ, too. I don't know. Doesn't affect me either way if he received either one, really.
But last night, I discovered that today has been made special, too.
And it's been on my mind ever since I heard the news. Yes, even while working on taxes, 1/2naked at my desk most of the day.
So what is today, you may be wondering?
Why it's Cake & Cunnilingus Day!
... or Muffins & Muff Diving Day.
Or Pudding & Pussy Licking Day.
Or Candy & Clit Licking Day.
And I kinda feel LEFT OUT! Not because I will only get cake today if I go buy one for myself, and not because I won't have a mouth between my legs today to celebrate this "holiday" (since hubby is away on a mini-vacation with his ole frat brothers), but because I don't ever receive that treat on ANY day or for ANY reason... whether I'm shaved or bushy, freshly showered or sweaty, dripping wet, or any other attractive scenario inbetween that I could conjure.
And I'm thinking that's really kinda fucked up.
It's been a loooong time since I've talked about it on here, but I luv luv luv fellatio! And hubby is the recipient of that form of adoration and attention A LOT, sometimes as foreplay for sex, sometimes when sex isn't involved or even the possibility of sex at all. Sometimes, just as a teaser and all in giggly-giddy fun.
So, the problem here isn't that I don't GIVE enough in order to RECEIVE enough. The problem is that he's apparently not interested in dining at the Y at all. Ever.
I can't help but wonder (in a lot of respects & for several reasons), if something is wrong with me.

Confession: I've never had an orgasm from anyone performing cunnilingus on me - boyfriend, lover, hubby, or otherwise.
Hasn't happened. Not once.
WTF is wrong with me???

So I'm curious & request my readers to answer, if you will...

MEN: How often do you treat your wife/girlfriend/lover/etc. to oral sex? Do you ever indulge her, so it's just for HER pleasure and not about quickly moving onto sex or what you'll get in return? Is it just a chore to you?

WOMEN: How often are you treated to oral sex from your husband/boyfriend/lover/etc.? Are you only treated to it as a quick form of foreplay before intercourse? Do you usually orgasm from oral sex?

Yeah. Cake & Cunnilingus Day.
Why can't I have my cake and eat it too while he licks a little of my icing, all at the same time? WHY?!?!

*EDIT* 4/28/10
Professor Fate gave me a link to a buzzfeed(?) about this.
I thought it was HILARIOUS, so I'm adding it in...
Vagina cupcakes! LOL!!!

Readers, PLEASE don't get me wrong.
This is a sensitive subject (and possibly a TMI post) but I'm not looking for offers to "cure me of my problem" here, so spare me the "I'll eat you for hours" type of comments, people. I'm not interested in hearing it & will probably ignore you in my comment responses (yeah, when I ever get around to doing those again).
It's just not what this post is about, k? I asked some serious Qs above, would like some serious responses, and invite discussion. Please.

Farewell, furry friend

Photo found here.
Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.

When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge.
There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together.
There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.
All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by.
The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.
They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.
You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.
Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....
~Author unknown

My smart, sweet, little black kitty shared her life with me and has now moved on to join her black feline buddy who left a couple yrs ago. Suddenly, my house is completely devoid of any cats and part of my spirit is lost without the companionship. This w/e has been tough.

May she rest peacefully now. Her battle is over.
Thank-you for the memories, li'l bunny. I miss you so much!
Hope to see you again someday on the Rainbow Bridge.

A Quickie

3 quick lil things:
1) TWO new cool masks are up in my Masquerade room!
One can be found here and the other one's here.
Go check 'em out & leave a lil whisper to them. We all like luv, right?
BIG thanks to all my masqueraders! Your masks are AWESOME!
I'm so happy some of you want to play along & get hung on my wall. =)

2) Even tho I won't be playing HNT tomorrow (and haven't in a while), I *will* be "up" somewhere else tomorrow (for the first time ever)! Think you can find me once the 4th birthday postings appear???
Hmmm... been awhile since I've had a contest around here, so how 'bout a lil game? I haven't seen any of the pix lined up for the posting yet, so I don't know how easy it will be to figure out who I am, but if you can successfully pick me out of the crowd (you only get ONE guess), there might be a prize for you (altho, I haven't a clue what that could be yet, lol)!
Nope, sorry, no hints.
Not sure what time Osbasso posts those pix, but I'm guessing midnight tonight??
And a sidenote to Osbasso: You can't play cuz you know which pic is mine. lol =P
4/11/10 UPDATE: The contest is over. Only 2 people made a guess, both incorrect. There is no winner.

3) I'm outta time today to do comment responses here or to visit/comment on the upteen blogs I'm behind on, but if you've talked to me here in the last... oh, what is it, 3 months now? Then, you're on my list to visit.

Happy Easter

Yeah, I'm outta hibernation, even though most of you probably wouldn't know that, given my ongoing absence from here.
Real life and other things have kinda taken over lately.
I had hoped to do something fun for Valentine's, St. Patty's, and now Easter (no luck on either front)... oh well. But, if I can get past tax hell and a couple of other things, I'll be back to share stuff, including TWO awesome new masks from bloggy buddies!

In the meantime, the finalists for this year's Peeps Show contest are here & are good for a chuckle.

Hope the Easter Bunny is good to ya & everyone has a wonderful day, in whatever way you celebrate the holiday.


I'm off to make deviled eggs or sumpin, with visions of this Jesus.
He may not be Ian Gillian or Ted Neeley, but Good Lawd Almighty, MMMmphf! Steve Balsamo gives me chills & I think I'm in lurve. LOL
He gives an incredible show-stopping performance here, DAMN!!!
(yeah, I'll probably watch Ted Neeley in JC Superstar at some point today ...and will pretend I'm Mary Magdelene. lol)

Springing Forward --->

Dommin ~ My Heart, Your Hands
Ok. So I'm trying to come back. Trying.
Like an entirely black-clad shadowdancer crouched on a chaise under a dusty tarp in a deserted castle (see above Dommin video), I've been in a wintry suspended state of animation ...
But this shadowdancer has awakened from hibernation. And stretched.
And convulsed. And found 'motion' again.
Last night, I set my clocks forward 1 hour, to herald in Spring.
And like those timepieces, I'm setting *myself* forward, too.
No point in getting pulled into the granular vortex, caught in the waist of the hourglass and drowning in the sand ...
It's time to move forward. It's just time.
...And I shall wear purple velvet as I saunter ahead!

I know I've neglected 2 of the motto-bubbles on my sidebar a lot this year - "you comment, I reply" and "you comment, I follow" (that latter most, cuz I've been AWOL)... and maybe I can rectify all of that soon.

But in the meantime - yesss, my Mask Call is still open (it never ever closes). In fact, during my recent hibernation, I received an updated mask from not2shy that I absolutely luv & wanna share with y'all!
(You can check it out here, beneath his duct-tape one.)
Cool, huh? (And thanks to everyone who checked out Sage's mask. You too can be hung up in my mask museum. Wtf are you waiting on? lol)

But I feel I should tell anyone who's still reading: This shadowdancer is bouncing off the walls with excitement! I'll hopefully be working on a new & thrilling project soon (not related to this blogcastle), so this post may be for shit as far as actually being as active here as I hope. But hey, at least the good intention is there. We'll see how it goes... (and let's hope I didn't just jinx it).

Soooo, what's everybody been up to since I've been away???
Catch me up with you. Or make me laugh with a joke.
I need to be entertained for once, LOL!
[And does anyone know of a "recent comments" widget that works with old blogger templates? My sidebar "Mirrors" don't work anymore (and I haven't a clue when it stopped working) & I don't like broke-down stuff littering my castle. Help, anyone?]

~Mask Call~

Wow, where the hell did January go???
I just I wanted to jump on here real quick to let readers know I'm still alive & to make a quick announcement...

Obviously, everybody knows that Valentine's is soon.
But everybody may not also know that like the other 11 months of the year, February is also chock-full of additional daily holidaze and weekly & month-long observances.
For example, did YOU know today is Working Naked Day?
Get outfra your clothes! lol

So, in honor of one of Feb's many observances, I'm making an open call for your masks to add to the Masquerade Museum room of my blogcastle. And newbies are welcome! Even if you're already tacked on my wall, maybe your mask has changed and you'd like to submit a new one?
(Mardi Gras-themed not required.)

What prompted me to do this again out of the blue?
Well, after promising it for over a year now, Southern Sage recently surprised me by submitting his mask, via email!
(You can see him on my wall, here.)
Others' masks are listed on that room's sidebar and instructions on how to submit one for yourself can be found on the front page over there, under the '06 slideshow of me in my lil devil mask.
Lil whispers you may leave for folks will be forwarded to them, so they know somebody commented on their masks. =)
Go check it all out! I'd luv to add YOU to my cybermask collection!
(You don't have to be one of my regulars or even a blogger to participate.)

And look for my fave digi-artists' masks (and maybe even some of my own personal RL collection of masks) to be added over there soon.

~ Happy Mardi Gras Month! ~

^ yes, that's me. ;)
