"Pulling teeth"

Master caught my cold. I know it was inevitable but he feels miserable now and I feel bad because he has a lot of work to do. it’s hard to concentrate on what he should be doing and I will do whatever I can to help him concentrate.

My Spanish paper is coming along, slowly. I’m at the more difficult portion and then I can conclude and say I’m done. I hope to have it done tomorrow. Thank god. I’m sitting here in the lab not wanting to do it. It’s almost as bad as pulling teeth.

I have another job as well, I should be starting that this weekend. Hopefully I will be able to devote a bit of time on it as I have only the one week left of school.

More later…

Another lesson

I was kinda a bad girl last night. Law and Order SVU was on till midnight. My bedtime is 11:30. Well, 11:30 came around and I got whinny and refused to go to bed, saying I was old enough to stay up later and I really wanted to see the end of this show and he wanted to assert his Dominance. I wouldn’t have any of it. I stayed up, he got very upset and as my punishment, which now I am thankful it was so lenient… I went to bed without him tucking me in. It’s not as easy as you think. He has tucked me in every night and to go to bed without his good night kiss was unsettling. Sadly I can’t say I wouldn’t do it again. I’m such a rotten person. I need to just take his word and go to bed. He’s happier that way, we move closer together.

*sigh*

Why do I do this to myself? Why can’t I just take his rules as best for me and obey?

Cramps!

Cramps have made me all of a sudden wish I wasn’t born a girl, oiy! They have attacked with a vengeance this month, probably making up for the past 2 months where I didn’t have any warning whatsoever that TOM was coming. It’s almost time to dig out the heating pad and midol!

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. I have a nice quiet day at home.

Master and I have been praying for an easier Christmas season than we had last year and it seems like in a bit we may be it slightly easier. At least the creditors won’t be banging on our door. I’ve still not had another job since the first one, but my boss assures me he is doing his best to come up with one. We shall see.

I am announcing the opening of my new site: Sensual Service. It’s a female submissives community. It will take work and dedication to see it off the ground, but I hope I have ladies posting and joining shortly to help get things started. I haven’t worked out all the bugs and the admin section for me isn’t complete, but hey I have access to the database for that in the meantime. Shouldn’t take more than another 8 hours of coding to get it all done. Come check it out today!

When you are hungry and you don't know what to eat…

Master started that question as I sit here staring at a blank page, whinning about not having anything to say. “When you are hungry and you don’t know what to eat, do you then go on not eating indefinitely?” And so I sit here… because even though I don’t have anything to say, I will still post. It was the point of his hypothetical question…

How does love impact your service/slavery to another? – From Kindlings

I found this wonderful question on Kindlings and it has caused me to think. How much thinking I may actually do on it is another story. I’m more of a think and write person.

I know that love impacts my service to Master. I recognized it from the start that there was something different between He and I that never existed between my other play partners. That connection, the magnetic bond that surpasses the play, the conversation, the quiet time after sex. It is love. Within that love there are strengths and weaknesses. Things to overcome and things to repress. I realize that is very cryptic. I will do my best to explain myself.

The strength of our love keeps us alive when things are hard. I serve Master because I love him, but I don’t know how different that service would be if I didn’t. I can’t see a separation between the two. I strive to do all I can for him, and make him happy because I love him. I do not believe I could be in a dynamic where love did not exist in the same circumstances that I see others that serve where passionate love does not exist. I do not have the experience, and so I will not judge one way or another. The strength of our love, I feel, helps bring us out of our shells and reveals the true persons we are underneath.

Love has it’s weaknesses too. Our love is shadowed by my past, which for some reason I have problems forgetting. Comparisons are inevitable, but my failure is that I voice them. And then I regret. This I need to overcome. I also feel that when it comes to punishment love can cloud judgement and hinder whether or not Master punishes me. Sometimes I really need the discipline, almost begging for it. Other times I deserve it. Master hesitates and forgets it altogether occasionally. I’m not sure if this would be easier if love were not in the equation as I only have past experience to reflect on.

We both have things we need to overcome. Master has a huge jealous streak and is very possessive. For that I like, it’s a comfort that he wants me all to himself. I do know that relaxing the jealousy though may open up friendships he didn’t know existed. Insecurity issues I think. Ones that I can only be there for, and show him that he’s just as important to me as I am to him. I need to overcome my independent streak and show him that I can submit and will be his girl perfect to his wishes… one day. I also have a big issue of letting go during play. Because I care if Master is enjoying himself I find I am not letting myself relax and enjoy things, thus not reaching heights I used to reach with play partners in the past. I have slowly begun to find a happy place that is different with Master than any others. It’s peaceful and joyful and wonderful and I hope to bring myself deeper and know that “out there” Master is having a wonderful time. He did express his opinion about my worries for his enjoyment and he said, “Let me worry about it.” So I will.

Our love brings out things I need to repress. Master’s possessive streak makes him really hate my exhibitionist nature. Because of my love for him, I must work on repressing it in public and letting it out here at home. I can be his little show girl, I know it. He already calls me a tease, and I love teasing. I’m sure he could be encouraged with more than I am doing now.

So does love affect my service to Master. Sure it does, I serve him on a deeper level, with more understanding and attention to the emotions, effects and challenges it brings. Power seems deeper, closeness is just a physical state, but I feel so into Master that I know with a bit of attention I can anticipate his needs and desires. Yes, I know I can.

Focus Blurred

I submit. I don’t do it for vanity or pride, I do it because I need to, I want to and it brings out the inner strength in me. I am not submissive in any other situation other than ones involving Master. I find myself extremely strong-willed and independent. Master says that he likes that in me. It means that I don’t have to be micromanaged. What if there are cases where I’d like to be micromanaged? How do I present myself, prepare myself for surrender and then achieve the tight control the management would require? I don’t try hard enough to change and improve for him. I am too focused on things that may not improve myself in the long run. I need to be better for Him, I need to find focus.

I realize this all seems random, sometimes my mind does this to me. All I feel like doing it pouring it out and sorting it later. I know that Master reads these and perhaps he will understand it better than I can.

There are days like today where I find I have a bit of extra time on my hands and I don’t know what to do with myself, my mind runs though the idealist view of the life I want and I try to find ways I can make things happen. When I first met Master, he seemed too young to know what to do. He has since proved me wrong, and for that I am grateful. Have I grown? Can I change more for him? Yes, I know I can. I just have to find that focus.

The submissive site that I have been talking about is scheduled to be debuted December 1st. I am hoping to have a few banners so that anyone that wants to can spread the news. It will be a community effort and I hope someday will be worth visiting again and again. Work and long hours of dedication are at hand. Anyone that wants to help me, please feel free to chime in.

Would you want to be trained (in whatever areas applied) by someone who you were not owned by? Why or why not? In what areas? – from Kindlings

Now this is an interesting thought… yes, there are areas that I would like to be trained in that I could learn from someone other than my Master. I think that the art of dinner service or hostessing would be an elegant way of showing my love and respect to my Master, but I would have to go elsewhere to learn it. I would be willing to learn from someone else if it were allowed, but I feel that it would not be. I am always looking for ways I can improving my service to Master.

Countdown to finals

I began preparing my final papers today. They are going to take me all of Thankgiving break I think. Most people will be off with relatives and friends, but Master and I are spending the holiday here at home, just enjoying each other’s company and working probably.

I think our coffeepot has died. I can’t afford to get another one for at least a week and I don’t know how Master will survive without his addiction of choice. I guess I will have to see if I can make it work at least half way. It’s been stuck at half a pot brewed for a half hour now and just gurgles every now and again. It’s cheap so not like I didn’t expect it.

We’ve had a bout of bad luck with the bank again… ugh. I hope I can fix the problem on Monday morning before my music exam. Prayers and crossed fingers please.

I’ve lost 15 lbs. total so far on my lifechange and I’m feeling good about that! If you want to follow me in my diet journey, go to Recreating Me.

I am almost done with the Submissive Community site I have been promising for weeks/months. I am working on the Administration section of it and then it will be open for business. I’m hoping to get the word out about it, but don’t know how well it will grow since it depends on people volunteering essays. We will have to see.

Cold, cold and a cold

From the flu to a cold I go. I woke yesterday not feeling myself and low and behold… I have a cold. I just can’t say I like this one bit! I’d like to say it’s unfair, but when there is no control over the outcome I will just have to try and get better quickly.

It’s officially winter, we have had our first snow that is still sticking around. The wind has been terrible and I can’t say whether or not my cold is just the effects of the sudden change in weather patterns. Either way…. the winter is here.

My play time with Master was lovely and I think I got the closest to space that I have yet with him. It was wonderful and look forward to more when I’m well. I could have only hoped to keep my good feelings longer before my cold took over.

Tuesday begins Thanksgiving break. I can’t wait for the time off from school to do….. my research paper? Yeah, I know what you are thinking, it’s a holiday you shouldn’t be working but I don’t see any other opportune time to do it. We will both be home, sharing the time together, I might as well get some work done. I know that Master isn’t going to take more than a day off as he’s English and Thanksgiving is an American thing.

Lingering in surrender

I’m slowly coming down from *that* high and I just don’t want to let go. Not yet, just linger, let the moment softly linger within my mind. Yes, sex turned to spontaneous play turned to mind altering, full of laughs and giggles (that’s, right I’m a giggler when I am euphoric) and mellowed sensations. Master says I have a glow and I know he seems more alive that I’ve seen him in awhile. It’s been a long time since we played where I reached something other than discomfort or “stop.” I have beautiful raspberry like marks on my inner thighs and I am proud of them, and Master asks me every time, “Are you proud of them?” “Yes Master, I am, I really am.”

I have begun a vanilla diet/lifechange blog. Master agrees that he’d like to see this blog stay a submissive emotion and thought based blog so I formed another one that I can spread around the world and hopefully keep me motivated to loose weight. If you would like to join my support team, just visit my diet blog as often as you like and drop a line or two of encouragement. Please just keep in mind that this blog will be vanilla, that my friends and family will see it, so don’t reveal my lifestyle on it. (I’m sometimes sorry I don’t put that disclaimer on things, so here it is now.)

Diet Blog: Recreating Me

I gave my BDSM presentation today. It went remarkably well. I was nervous as always but the reception was good and the class seemed interested at least just a little. This was the 4th time I gave this presentation, and I know it won’t be my last. I have at least next semester still on campus. If I opened up a few minds, then I am glad.

Thinking of change

I’m beginning to wonder if I should start a diet blog, something I have to write in everyday to hopefully help me stay on track. I know that diet things and exercise frustrations aren’t what the people want to read here on this blog. I need an outlet and I’m hoping that my writing in it would help me keep going and be accountable. I am in a group called Taking It Off where submissives are all trying to loose weight. There is a journal there, and I have used it a few times, but I’m not sure if it’s just laid out differently, or that no one else reads it that I tend to not post there. I’m supposed to enter my daily eating and exercise at Fit Day as well…. I need the moral support I get from readers, does that make sense? I need strangers to give me encouragment and help along the way. It does mean I will have to add another blog to my list of blogs I’m supposed to be updating regularly; this one being the only one I actually do.

I fell off my diet and gained the 13 lbs I lost over this last month right back. I can’t let this go on. I have to loose the weight for my health. I have to become more accountable. This has to change.

So, what do you think? Should I write a diet and exercise related blog to help me stay on track? Keep my thoughts here with my submission thoughts? Other ideas?

Hello Saturday

*sigh* I have gained all the weight back that I worked so hard to loose a month and a half ago. I’m not allowed to quit my diet Master says, then how did I get so lazy with my diet and exercise? Why was I allowed to have seconds when it wasn’t healthy or to not diet at all some days? I think he is testing me. This change has to be for me, not him, I know that. I’m terrible at motivation though and even though I felt great that I was loosing weight I couldn’t keep on it. Why is that?

I got a lot done today. I did 4 loads of laundry and dishes before Master woke up. I have half of my homework done and a decent thesis for my research paper waiting approval by the teacher. I’ve had 5 glasses of water today and it’s only dinner time. I have to keep my hopes high that I will get everything done that I want to get done, everyday. It’s such labor, but if I want to be the best that Master can have, I have a lot of work to do.

I am almost done with my Submissive Woman’s guide site and just have to purchase the domain before I will debut it. It will be small at first, that I can be sure but nothing starts out big, it grows as the community will grow, that I’m sure. I’ll keep you posted so that my readers can be the first to join and to contribute in any capacity that you wish.

Reaching wellness…

I’m feeing a lot better now, thank you for the well wishes. I now have the daunting task of catching up on my homework. I can only hope that this weekend I feel better and better so that I can think well and work towards getting everything done.

I’ve done a lot of fantasizing lately. I’ll have to admit that this is the first time I’ve admitted it to myself. They aren’t sexual dreams, they are submissive dreams. Visions of how I want to behave, how I see myself at the peak of my submission. I’m not sure if I will ever get to this point. It could be unreachable. I guess I really need to see what these visions have in them and how I could work towards them. I’m constantly fighting with myself and why I say no, why I don’t think of Master ahead of me, and I can’t seem to surround my thoughts with Master’s best interests, his happiness. I know he’s happy, he tells me he is, but I know that I can be more. Perhaps when I don’t have the stress of school.

A Bug

It was all of a sudden. One moment I was chatting with starla online, only with a mild headache, the next I was straddling the bowl and my body boiled over. I am sick. I don’t get sick often, but I have the flu. It’s hopefully the only time I will get the flu this winter. It’s not even cold out yet. My fever broke yesterday but today I still feel miserable, achy and my head is going to explode.

Master has been really sweet and checking in on my when I lay about the house. It makes me feel so good. He made me chicken noodle soup yesterday and I felt so good to know he was watching after me.

15 Tons…

I have been having some major problems with my computer lately. I know it needs a new hard drive and I think the motherboard is failing too. I only hope it will wait till January when I get my next and last financial aid refund check.

I have the schedule book for next semester. It looks like I will either have to take classes that I really dislike the teacher or some other electives to fill the last 12 hours I need to graduate. I register next week, hopefully, so we will see what I finally decide on then.

I finished the website that I was developing for IMG. I hope to have the client look it over and then pay me when the flash arrives so that I can place that in the navigation. Definitely by Wednesday. Master also will finish his current job around Wednesday and he already has another job lined up. Me, on the other hand, have asked for a hiatus for at least a week so that I can start my research project for Spanish.

No more messing around, I have to get started on this thing. No one else in my class has started yet, but I’d like to not be rushed to do it so that it turns out just right. I have a few stories and essays to use as research material and I will be going to the library at least one day this week to see if I can get a book or two with something of substance in it. I’m certain that I will be able to develop a good thesis and outline of material by the end of the week so that I can start writing it. Goal to be done is Thanksgiving weekend. That gives me a whole week to edit it.

My diet has failed, yet I have not given it up. I’m not able to quit. My health depends on my learning how to eat healthy and stay active. It’s so hard to eat healthy when you don’t have money to buy groceries. What’s left in the house at this point is all starchy, cheap, canned or boxed meals, that are by far healthy. So now I have to have a different attitude. Healthy OR less. When the food in the house is like this, I need to control my portions more. This will still keep me within my calorie limit of 1800 cals. a day. I hope to find an exercise tape that I actually like. I have some belly dancing that I guess I could do again. It is low inpact and requires a lot of muscle control (of which I don’t have yet). I have Richard Simmons too. I have not yet burned them, but they are impossible for someone as out of shape as I am. I don’t know how he has motivated so many obese people with these tapes, they are worse than palates, and I liked palates!

Master has come to me with another, yet the same worry that we have had off and on since we met. I’m just not overly affectionate, I rarely initiate sex and I’m terrible at foreplay(thus I don’t do it). Now, this is an important part of our relationship. We keep the fire burning hot so that we can continue with our meager existence till I can get a career and Master can find that dream job. We dream a lot lately, but now with this again at my feet I will have to reign in and do some serious work on myself. I don’t know if one can learn how to be more affectionate. I’m sure I can learn to enjoy foreplay more, and thus do it more. I think I settle into a relationship routine too soon (and too hard) that I just don’t do the “dating” cuddles and hyper affection like I used to. I need to find that again. Something to make me frisky and playful and in turn play with Master. He needs that, he needs me to show him how much I need him sexually and service him without command.

I need to find within myself that playful me I know is there. Master has noticed it comes out whenever the camera is on me. It’s like a hot coal and I just jump right into the light. He wants that when the camera is not on, he needs me with that spark without the camera. Master has a problem with my exhibitionist nature. He’d like to reign it in. He got upset at the party when I was watching the demos, and then we went to the kitchen to get some coffee and I had him feel how wet I was. It was exciting and I wanted to somehow be a part of it, my imagination kept telling me that Master wanted a violet wand and he would be doing those things to me some day too. I was on fire and shared it with him. He told me afterward, on the way home, that he wants to be the only one causing such heat. Jealousy? Perhaps, Master struggles with possessive issues all the time. So how do I turn on the spark when there is no camera, no limelight to stand in? Do I mentally shine spot light on myself? How would I do that?

My Cats… act like dogs?

Ok, so silly title I know, but I just had to share how I think my cats have more dog traits than a typical cat duo should have.

First there is Zeus, who comes when called, loves to have his butt scratched and will play with you for hours. He’s attached at the hip with Master and it’s so cute to watch him lay down next to Master. Man’s best friend? It’s Zeus.

Now Maximus is more cat-like in other respects. He’s a talkative cat, very loyal and waits at the door when I am to come home. He is my shadow and follows where ever I lead.

This evening when I told Master it was dinner time and began to set the table the cats came running and begging. It was so cute to see then sitting there in the kitchen. I just had to relent and got the canned food down from the cupboard. They don’t get it often; it’s a treat. They loved it.

Gotta love my babies!

Here I Go Again

I have woken up with a need to get back on my diet. If you have been following my blog, I have had a bout of depression that I feel is slowly lifting. I need to get back into my healthy eating routine now. I have been lucky to maintain the lost weight that I started out dropping, so I won’t have to struggle back down to where I just was, but I would like to loose at least another 8 lbs. before Christmas. So, as of today I’m back!

I’ve gotten a lot of work done on my job that I have to have done by next Wednesday. I hope to make the deadline now. I’m not as scared of not having it done now. I will be able to pay a bill that is sitting here waiting. Master will complete his job soon and we will be able to get the next project, hopefully with a down payment.

I have this research project for one of my Spanish classes that will begin to take up a bit of my time after this week. I hope to have it done before Thanksgiving even though it’s not due till after. Of course that means a lot of reading of Spanish and then thinking in Spanish(which I need to practice doing anyhow).

I hope to be able to work on my other pet project, Sensual Service at the end of this month. I still have a hope of getting it out and open by the beginning of next year. If you would like to see what I’m talking about, the temp link is http://www.knyghtmares-luna.com/subguide/
