A Little Cinful

My 13 year old grandson thinks my collar is cool; he doesn’t think it’s odd in the lease. He’s just used to it. He may have asked me why I wear it once; I told him that I like it, that I think it’s pretty and he was content with that answer. Could some people, perhaps, be over thinking this one?

I think there’s a lot of over-reaction in the BDSM community, all in the name of trying to be safe, sane and consensual. I applaud the SSC tenet as just a basic good approach to life, really, but it’s like political correctness, it can go way too far!!

I’m not a cookie-cutter type person, I never truly fit the social mold and I’m sure almost every kinkster agrees that they felt, most of their life, that they just didn’t quite fit the conventional life. I never really wanted to, and I doubt I ever will want to. The plain truth is I like being a bit different, I like being a bit odd by social norms.

I don’t want just one type of cereal everyday for breakfast, I don’t want steamed broccoli every night for dinner. And while I love a little spicy curry in my diet I wouldn’t want it as the sole staple of my culinary existance.

Variety is not only the spice of life, it’s the spice of sex and love as well.

I wasn’t willing to conform in grade one, I never conformed in my early adulthood, and, as I sit here, at the ripe age of almost-50, staring at the pile of college textbooks waiting for me to return to studying for tomorrow’s exam,  I can see that I haven’t learned conformity yet.

And I sincerely hope I never do.

Society could benefit from a little shaking up, a little splash of cold water on its face. Isn’t it about time we woke up from the silly dream that we are all alike and we all live in this safe sterile world where all the leftovers neatly fit the stacking tupperware containers in the fridge?

Let’s not forget, if it wasn’t for mold we’d never have penicillin.

Don’t be afraid to rock the boat, just make sure you do it at a depth where you can swim, and wear protection against hypothermia and jelly-fish. No need to risk your life.

Splash on, dear kink-folk, splash on!

I started working today on the movie review part of my website.

I’d like to compile an extensive list of movies featuring themes that appeal to those of us with hedonistic and/or sex-positive interests.

The movies will range, I hope, from common fare to more obscure movies, and while I may not be able to review all of them personally, I’d like to feature a decent resource list of titles and info.

If you can think of any movies you believe will appeal to a discerning adult audience feel free to let me know.

Lately I’ve been uninspired to do much in the way of blogging. Back when I began my journey into BDSM everything was fresh and exciting and I felt the need to document things almost obsessively.

Unfortunately as time wore on, and with the loss of so much of my early blog, I lost the passion I once had for maintaining a written account of my experiences.

I’ve been struggling with the question of why bother to blog at all.

Recently I joined a new fetish site and found a group there for bloggers. It put me to thinking..my own journey is less dramatic now, but as a more experienced lifestyler I still have thoughts to share. Thoughts that might shed light for others with an interest in BDSM, and in submission in particular.

So, I’ve started a blog prompt group on fetlife in the hopes of finding motivation to continue. Anyone interested can join fetlife (it’s free), and find the group there. But I also plan to post some of the prompts in the sidebar here for anyone to use.

If you do get inspired to write something based on a prompt please feel free to leave me a link in the comments box.

Happy Blogging.

Was sent a link to a sports forum site yesterday, with the directions to check out the thread.

It was a nice thread where the posters were listing what they were thankful for, and there I saw the familiar nickname.

In his list of things he is thankful for:

- A warm smile from the ever-adorable Cin.

- A whispered suggestion from the sometimes-naughty Cin.

I don’t even know what to say…other than that I just wanted to read this whenever I check out my blog.

No ropes today, no good girl…How will I survive?

<– insert big pitiful sigh here

Ah well, it was a lazy day with lots of fun online bantering in the alt and KinkBC chatrooms with Wicked and Oz, and MSDS…What more could a gal want than to be alone with those three bad-boys?

Okay, well, a lot more but hey, I’ve been accused of being greedy before.

(Very falsely accused I might add!!)

It was still a nice way to spend my Sunday.

Tomorrow I have to get re-certified for my Childsafe First Aid, and then Monday I start two weeks of teaching summer school. This is a new venture and personally I think it was horribly planned, thrown together in a rush with an eye to keeping costs very low. I’m concerned that the safety of the kids was not looked at as a priority.

It doesn’t matter…I’m there, and since I’ve been left to carry out the program, there is no way I’m going to take any risks. I have a 30 year record of no serious injuries on my shift, and it’s not going to change. I’m not sure I could live with myself if a child got hurt seriously while I was on the job.

By next weekend I’m sure I’ll be truly looking forward to the BBQ at RavensRetreat.

It’ll be followed by an En Femme party. That’ll be a slightly new focus for me, as I haven’t had much interaction in that area of the kink world.

Should be fun. I’ve yet to find anything about kink less than fascinating.

Just thought ya’ll might be interested in hearing that despite 4 days of procrastination – and much public angst – I managed to get the house in shape for company tonight…

With almost 2 hours to spare.

Even have the salad done and marinating in the fridge.

I’m good at this procrastination thing…really good! But, I hear practice makes perfect.

Looks like Twilly has volunteered to be the next recipient of a TGirlShannon Deluxe Makeover!!

Hmmm, I say hot pink, and really biiig hair…What about you?

It’s my birthday! Got my 46 spankings, got to do a little pole-dancing at the Taboo Sex Show…and was given a sexy, black, feather boa as a present. I’m a content and happy girl.
