~~TMI TUESDAYS~~

1. Is sex hotter for you when it's forbidden? Or do you get wracked with guilt and it's not enjoyable? i am done partaking in relationships that would be forbidden....so i guess this question really doesnt apply? As far as sexual events that would be forbidden ( by societies standards?) yeah....that gets me hot....the thrill of possibly getting caught is quite the aphrodisiac....

2. Are casual sexual encounters fulfilling to you? Do you need an emotional commitment from your partner for sex to be fulfilling? they used to be .....but lately.....i really do not have the energy ...or care to take the risk of a casual sexual encounter.....& yes...i do need an emotional commitment from my partner for it to be fulfilling.....((i think i am growing up....LOL ))

3. Do you think that with all of the online dating sites that cater to every fetish and desire and places like craigslist that it's more difficult to make a commitment and/or stay committed to your partner? not at all....u just have to find a partner who is open & willing to try new things.....it may result in a dryspell as you wait for that person...but the wait is worth it in my book....

4. Have you ever joined or participated in an online dating site? If not, would you ever consider it? What about a fetish site, such as alt.com? yes...yahoo..match...lava...lifestyles....sure....why not....in this day & age when our lives are on warp-drive....& we all seem to be so technologically driven....its only going to increase your chances....the key is to be very selective ....& ensure "in-person" happens relatively quick in the relationship....or...
in my opinion...there is too much build up...assumptions...ideas...anticipation for it to really work later..... ((there are exceptions to this rule of course....Sheets found true luv in another blogger.....& they are now married ! =)

5. What is the weirdest fetish you've heard of? i study that shite for my PhD....so unfortunately....i've researched them all....& really nothing surprises me anymore...LOL

Bonus (as in optional): The definition of 'fetish' is so vague. Do you think you have a fetish(s)? If so, do you want to share what it is? ;) BALD men.... nice full lips...sensual skin....tattoos....& uniforms! LOL

wanna play?.....click on the logo

~~TMI Tuesday~~

1. Under what conditions would you kiss a stranger?
if they were hawt....cause quite honestly?....strangers are just friends we have not met yet =)

2. Who was the last person you sent a text message to? If you’ve never sent someone a text message, is there some reason?
My last text mssg went to Stubeans....we were going back -n- forth re this weekends plans on how to entertain his nephew who is flying in friday nite.

3. When was the last time you deliberately surprised someone?
that would be last week when i put my 'believe' bracelet on the wrist of someone who i felt needed the affirmation at a point in their life more than i did. =)

4. How often do walk somewhere (hopefully, other than the mailbox)?
not as often as i would like....but the puppers sure enjoy our walks (few times a week)....

5. What were the longest and shortest durations of your romantic relationships?
longest?....3 yrs.....shortest?.....couple month's...


*Bonus (as in optional):What is missing from your life*

if i knew what was missing.....i would remedy it.....i guess a steady income is the only thing right now that i really need....all else is a choice.....
wanna play?....click on the Rhino ......

~~TMI TUESDAY~~

1. What can you consider as the greatest thing you've ever done for/ to yourself?

Believed in myself....of course ...not the easiest thing....but in the end....always the greatest.

2. What/ Which part of your life you think you could have done better and why?

the yrs that i allowed the influence of a man (who ultimately decieved me ) to keep me away from my family & not mend the relationships. i of course divorced him...but i can never get those 8 yrs...yes...8 yrs back that i chose not to speak to my family.....

3. Do you have that one person whom you consider to be the wind beneath your wings?

yes....i do have someone...who i can call at anytime to talk me off the ledge if need be....

4. Tell us about your longest relationship.

oh mon dieu.....u don't really want to read that old fodder......unless of course u are looking for the cure for insomnia?

5. In a relationship, when do you get to that point of enough is enough?

HA!....is THIS ever a loaded question......um yeah...i guess it is when i fail to see that look in my partners eye...u know the one....the look that says you are their world....once that disappears?...the end is soon coming......

Bonus (as in optional):What is that one intimate moment with someone you miss so much and what are you willing to risk to have another moment of it. ;)

true ...unconditional....carnal knowledge....w/ no inhibitions....lost in eachother....& i would risk quite a bit to taste that again.....

~~wanna play?...click the duckie....~~~

~~TMI TUESDAY~~

1. Which one turns you on more Ink or piercing? Why?
INK....prolly because of the stories behind the ink.....i luv hearing the design stories....many times people surprise me....& i luv being surprised...

2. What ink do you have? If none, what would you get and and where?
my reservation insignia is on my ankle....OM MANI PEDME HUM is on my lower back....& i have an OM between my shoulder blades @ my heart chakra to help keep my heart open.....

3. What piercing do you have? If none, what would you get and and where?
ears....nose...belly button....hood (functional..not ornamental)

4. Any other adornments you like to do for your lover or have then do for you?
strange question....& not applicable at this time...so i get to skip it ....HA!

5. Of all of the above is there anything that is an immediate Turn-Off?
nope.

Bonus (as in optional): If money/work place rules/your life/whatever what ALL would you do to your body in the name of sexual or just general adornment? well...i think i understand this grammatically poor question....& my thoughts are that i have never NOT done something because of work rules....i was once asked to remove an eyebrow piercing at a salon i worked at.....before quitting.....i wrote a nice letter to the management explaining how hypocritical i felt the org was due to the owners being gay...& how we signed a form allowing them to fire us if it was ever mentioned in a negative light......so...basically....they demanded we accept them as they were .....yet.....we as employee's were to change our personal expression because they didnt like piercings....um yeah.....NOT!

13 Things I am Puzzled by:

1. the peeps w/whom i worked side-by-side (some for the last yr...some the last 6 mo's) seem to not be the peeps inside that i so wanted them to be.....the word i am looking for in their behavior (i.e no calls or comments) i am sad to admit is 'real'. What i mean by this is that i was 'real' at all times....& it hurts to realize they are not able to be the same.....when asked a question...or found myself in a conversation which required trust....i treated them as i wished to be....w/ honesty, openness & care. I have not heard a peep out of them since.......(well...Poodles are excluded =)
   
   
2. what the hell do i have to use on the driveway to get rid of the oil spills?...yeah.....'super-degreaser' from the auto store?...naht sooo much....
   
   
3. why am i not able to sleep at nite? even if i force myself to go to bed at a reasonable hour......not more than 4 hrs later?.....wide-awake!
   
   
4. will i ever be able to find BAX (doofus) a loving forever home?......he really needs a one-dog home.....& would be a wonderful little boy.
   
   
5. what does 'bokah' in regards to photography methods (DOF) really mean?
   
   
6. do i jump back into another IT contract (because the money is FABU)... or do i really need to take a parttime gig w/ enough hrs & money to leave me time & sanity to get my Dissertation / study done?
   
   
7. what the hell caused me to get kidney stones?....& worse....will i suffer thru that again?
   
   
8. what the hell is w/ all the ants this yr? I have nevah had them this bad.....ZOE had little welts on her the other morning...... mean little buggers biting my babies makes me MAD!
   
   
9. should i get the ink i have been pondering over for the last yr or so? Or is it because i am off.....that my mind is occupied by more creative things .......
   
   
10. y do i subconsciously give myself permission to participate in 'creative' activities....pasttimes...hobbies when i am between contracts?......
    
    
11. is it possible to find a job that will feed both my wallet....&....my creative energies?
    
    
12. is 9527 songs on my IPOD excessive?
    
    
13. will i get thru my 'list' of shite to do around the house b4 i go back to work?....does anyone ever get thru the "list"? LOL
