Miscommunication?

It's not really anyone's fault. We each left things unsaid.

Okay, a little background . . . my S.O. and I and some friends regularly go to this club. Last night was one of their special nights, they call Love & Bondage. You know, whips, leather, screaming . . . it's all good. I'm really into this . . . him not so much.

I had made special arrangements to have my vacation scheduled to start that day, so I wouldn't have to worry about working the next day. Had everything ready to go. I was very disappointed that one couple I know couldn't attend, but was determined to have fun anyway. My S.O., K, wasn't really feeling up to going, but friends had asked if he was coming and I really wanted him to go, so I talked him into coming anyway.

Miscommunication #1: He apparently did not know it was L&B night, even though he is just as capable of looking at a calendar as I am, and, hint hint, I was wearing my collar. (Yes I am somewhat submissive, but I don't belong to anyone at the moment, and if I choose to wear a collar I will and it's none of your business if I choose to do so. Okay?) I don't wear it very often at all, these are some of the few nights I do.

(Sidenote: I'm discovering I really like being the one administering the swats too. Interesting.)

Miscommunication #2: One of our friends had made the statement on several occasions that she really wanted to see K and hoped he would come up and join us at the club. He doesn't come that often anymore. This was apparently interpreted in more than a friendly way by him and was the cause of some disappointment. That's all I'm going to say about that.

So, at the beginning of the evening I'd been contemplating asking a very lovely Lady if she would like to be very mean to me, but things happened and while I did have fun, it didn't go as I would have liked. Who knows, I probably would have chickened out before asking her anyway.

Something fun and interesting

A friend introduced me to OKCupid a little while ago. It's a fun site where you can take quizzes people make up, answer questions to determine your compatibility with other people, have a profile and pictures, and connect with people and make friends.

It's free and fun, if you like that kind of thing. Maybe, if you ask me nicely, I'll give you the link so you can see my profile.

Yay!

Cedar Point was fun. I hadn't been there in years. It wasn't a perfect day, but it was, if you know what I mean. Yes it was hot, humid, and rained off and on, but I got to spend time with the greatest people. Rode a few rides, walked a lot, people-watched, got soaked in the rain and twice on Thunder Canyon. I'm still a bit tired and sore, but it was so worth it. I had a blast, people!

Hi, missed me?

Not too much going on lately. Been working a lot and looking for a new job. Went out last night and had much fun. I met a nice couple, the woman was really cute and very cool, and I got her phone number. Woohoo!!! Tomorrow I'm going to Cedar Point with some friends, which should be very cool. I'm also hoping to make up for some past missed opportunities in the coming weeks.

As you can see, I'm kind of scattered at the moment. Nothing seems to be gelling into a coherent post. Ah well, there's always tomorrow.

Bek's photo assignment

I was going to do this anyway, since Mysti pointed it out, but after a direct request, who can resist?

This is a picture of Mackinac Bridge in Michigan. That is pronounced Mack-in-aw, not Mack-in-ack. It connects the upper peninsula to the lower part of Michigan. It is really long and fun to drive over, which I think I've done at least four times, if not more. My family and I used to go camping a lot. Often in Michigan and Minnesota. And I've taken the ferry twice to Mackinac Island, where no cars are allowed. Most things on the island are delivered by horse or bike. And there's a fort. Lots of neat historical stuff. It's all so beautiful. But I wouldn't go swimming in the lake, too cold.

My thoughts and prayers are with you

To all the people in London and people everywhere coping with and fighting terrorism, my thoughts, prayers and energy are in your direction. I can hope for better things to come, but my cynical nature tells me that those who wish harm on others will not change any time soon.

I know....

I haven't posted in a while. It was a busy weekend, work and picnics. And I'm trying to catch up on housework I've neglected. Also the search for a better job goes on. There are a few possibilities, but I'd be so much better off if I lived in a bigger city. Maybe I'll write a story or something to post. I'll even take requests or suggestions.

One word . . .

I saw this on another journal, thought it might be fun.

Please leave a one-word comment that you think best describes me.
It can only be one word.
No more.
Then copy & paste this in your journal so that other people may leave a word about you.

Also, if I don't know you, please introduce yourself.
