Thus began a post that changed everything. In September of 2012, the late* Poppy invited the readers of her blog to participate in a 30-day reflection on submission. Each day, she posted a question and her response to it, inviting her readers to share their responses and reactions as well. In September of … Continue reading 30 Days Hath September

Death of an Avatar
I lost an acquaintance on Tuesday. His unfamiliar face greeted me when I logged on, beaming an entirely inappropriate grin. In a community which holds anonymity sacred, portraits bear only bad news. We moved in different circles, but shared the same interface. We met often but briefly, semi-strangers smiling pleasantly as we passed, … Continue reading Death of an Avatar

Today marks the fourth anniversary of Acknowledging Imperfection. It has been a busy, chaotic, and wonderful year- if an abnormally quiet one here. CLASS has eaten much of my time, energy, and sanity- though it is a monster I am quite happy to feed! The above has become a fairly typical scene in my scene … Continue reading Four

That said, this last year has been particularly special. I’ve thrown myself into the local scene, and am having a blast- and plenty of spankings. As this … Continue reading 3

Sarah composed her weekly report, mentally ticking … Continue reading Distance Learning: Matriculation
Much to Learn: The Middle
With thanks to Paolo of Wholebean and I Mark and Sarah's story began here Sarah bounced up the steps to her front door before the motion sensor for the light even activated. Although a bit woozy from too much time at the pub, her happiness provided more than enough energy to speed her quick trip home. … Continue reading Much to Learn: The Middle
Happy Blog Day to Me!
One year ago today, I made my first posting here. It's been a busy year. Most would think that starting a blog while in the process of moving and changing jobs would be a bad idea, but I've found it a source of structure and comfort. It's nice to have something completely within my control … Continue reading Happy Blog Day to Me!
Why?
In response to this question from Dom with Pen. I'm rather late, and with a rather long answer (I did submit a very brief version, but, yes, even that was rather late. So spank me.), but I find this question intriguing from both perspectives. If by "why" one means "where does the drive come from," … Continue reading Why?
