My legs were wrapped around his waist, crystalline lust in our locked gaze.  Suddenly, I had to throb a thrilling violet.

I'm not sure. I am blogging without a goal or purpose and we'll see where it leads. It's your cue to move to something else if you don't like unstructured writing and thinking. Because yes, most of my thinking is pretty unstructured!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My boyfriend asked me once if I ever wrote anything. I couldn't really see how to explain the existence of &lt;i&gt;STWB&lt;/i&gt;, so I said no. I wish I could write short stories though. Or maybe the autobiography of my secret life. &amp;nbsp;Maybe one day I will! Anyway. I know someone who knows someone who knows someone who wrote an erotic e-book. I'm thinking that all our sex blogs could be one huge e-book, no?! I didn't get around to purchasing her fictional story about a threesome, but maybe one day it will be available for "e-borrowing"? Gotta love technology.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How's everyone doing on their resolutions for the new year? Am I hearing a few hmpf's out there? Yeah, I hear you. Mine are doing well, but I had little to none. See, I can be self-sneaky. ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm trying to get more cardio exercise in before the start of the beautiful season that is spring. One thing that always get my ass in gear is music. Do you always go back to the same songs during certain intervals of cardio? I certainly do. That &lt;a href="http://youtu.be/bWXazVhlyxQ" target="_blank"&gt;song&lt;/a&gt; always makes me move a bit faster and harder when I want to give up. And that &lt;a href="http://youtu.be/1mB0tP1I-14" target="_blank"&gt;song&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;always get my legs walking with more gusto.&amp;nbsp;I have peculiar tastes in music, what can I say.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's been a year of separation with the ex. And we still live together. Yeah... my patience is eroding as time goes by and I am pressing a bit more urgently the fact that we need to make it clear by having him move out. I am searching for a mediation lawyer that will be counsel to both of us, draw up the papers so I can get his name off the mortgage, etc. I think it'd be easier to sell the house, split everything and move into different locations, but I don't want to move if I don't have to. We get along very well and we're not fighting, so it should be a no-brainer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I like no-brainers. I wish they had those at Walmart!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm way behind on reading blogs. I'm busy, we're busy, you're busy, everyone's busy. Sorry if I didn't keep up with you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That's it.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4322801126401788633-4637928663684342282?l=theworldbegins.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://theworldbegins.blogspot.com/feeds/4637928663684342282/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://theworldbegins.blogspot.com/2012/01/potpourri.html#comment-form' title='5 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4322801126401788633/posts/default/4637928663684342282'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4322801126401788633/posts/default/4637928663684342282'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://theworldbegins.blogspot.com/2012/01/potpourri.html' title='Potpourri'/><author><name>France</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13015208689942511974</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-z0wfj-NaVCY/Tw0Gx6Aa8_I/AAAAAAAAAbU/gZNqn5KOQyo/s1600/photo%25252525202-1.JPG'/></author><thr:total>5</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4322801126401788633.post-4497341890543746191</id><published>2012-01-10T23:06:00.001-05:00</published><updated>2012-01-11T06:33:12.281-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='personal'/><title type='text'>7 things about myself</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="p1"&gt;A long time ago,&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://temptingsweets99.wordpress.com/" target="_blank"&gt;TemptingSweets&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;blogged that I was on her list of fun bloggers to read. &amp;nbsp;That was pretty sweet of her!!&amp;nbsp;Here are 7 things about myself.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;ul class="ul1"&gt;&lt;li class="li1"&gt;I have a motto: if it can wait until tomorrow, do it tomorrow. Why do you think it took forever to write this post?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li class="li1"&gt;It annoys me to see people pretend they know French when in fact, they don't know shit. Am I attempting Japanese?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li class="li1"&gt;I often bite my tongue so that I don't offend anyone.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li class="li1"&gt;I don't get FaceBookers who hit the "like" button on&amp;nbsp;their own status. But then again, sometimes I comment on my own blog posts. :)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li class="li1"&gt;I've commented anonymously on a few blogs in the past, because sometimes you have to.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li class="li1"&gt;I am cheap, so cheap that I will use up the free Christmas cards, received from various charities, for my friends and family - instead of buying a box of cards.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li class="li1"&gt;I would love to be a P.I. With all the stuff some people put on Facebook, unprotected and for everyone to see, it would make my life easier. I think being a stalker would be just as easy.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li class="li1"&gt;I am definitely a voyeur.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li class="li1"&gt;As you know, I don't follow rules very easily. This is the 9th item of the list. :)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;div class="p1"&gt;I always like to know details about my favourite bloggers (see my reading list, to the right). If you feel like it, leave us something in the comment box about yourself that no one knows!

What New Year’s resolutions did you make last year? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: blue;"&gt;I had one: &lt;a href="http://theworldbegins.blogspot.com/2011/01/new-year.html" target="_blank"&gt;focusing on me&lt;/a&gt;. I think I did pretty good, since I'm much happier.

the end of 2011</title><content type='html'>&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial;"&gt;I&amp;nbsp;haven't blogged much about my personal life as it's&amp;nbsp;kind of complicated. Just like yours,&amp;nbsp;I'm sure! Who has it uncomplicated these days?! Other than the TMI posts and occasional blurbs that don't take too much brain power, I've been silent. I'll try to be organized in this long post.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial;"&gt;&lt;u&gt;The boyfriend&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial;"&gt;My boyfriend (previously known as SG2) &amp;amp; I are happy together.&amp;nbsp;This exceeds my expectations, in so many ways.&amp;nbsp;I enjoy spending my weekends with him and the occasional weeknight just hanging out.&amp;nbsp;I had doubts about him in the beginning (and lately too), but I&amp;nbsp;should have a little bit of faith in&amp;nbsp;life, in him and in&amp;nbsp;us. I'm slowly getting there. We are having a great time together and for once, I feel like I'm having a partner, not someone to take care of. He cooks for me, he helps me (without being asked!), he does things for me, he is a gentleman, caring, oriented, intelligent, warm and fun. For the first time in many years, I was actually looking forward to Halloween and Christmas.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;Secrets&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Am I still having a secret life? Yes. Just like this blog is a part of my secret life, so are other things that I'd rather keep to myself than write about them. It's something precious&amp;nbsp;I want to hold on&amp;nbsp;to and protect, more than anything. I would be heartbroken if that relation would come to an end. I know it's silly to be talking that way, but that's the way it is.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A part of my secret life are my secret friends...&amp;nbsp;a few blogging friends and the married men I met on AM. One man I met, even though things didn't work out, we ended up being friends and we meet every other month or so for coffee. Also, some of you might remember&amp;nbsp;L (who's either famous or hated, depends how you look at it).&amp;nbsp;One late summer morning, I woke up to find a text message from him on my phone. I ignored it for a few days before answering back. But I did answer. I couldn't help being curious. He wanted us to be friends, the way I tried to&amp;nbsp;be his.&amp;nbsp;Later, he also admitted wanting me back. This girl here&amp;nbsp;has&amp;nbsp;gone through&amp;nbsp;too much complications&amp;nbsp;with him to even consider that option. I'm not that stupid anymore. Even though he promised things would be different if we were to get back together, I know what is best for me.&amp;nbsp; It's time to let go, once and for all...&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Time to stop worrying about things I cannot change.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;Blog &amp;amp; Passion&lt;/u&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A thought just occurred to me, it's that I should end this blog post on a positive note.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: arial;"&gt;For a few weeks, I've thought of stopping this blogging thing.&amp;nbsp;Let's face it, I'm&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;passé&lt;/i&gt;. Younger and fresher bloggers have come and taken their places. Good for them. They get all the comments and recognition and they deserve it. They write with skill and passion. Me? Bah... If I get 5 comments on a post, I consider it a good day. Not highly motivating. That's one reason why I've stopped participating in FFF, or putting up posts such as fantasies and stories. The amount of work doesn't justify the return I get.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I am a bit tired of reading sex blogs. What used to turn me on when reading your exploits (or writing mine) now leaves me quite indifferent.&amp;nbsp;I'd rather focus my attention on other things. This is not the end of this blog, but I'm not sure what to do with it for now. I plan on spending a lot more time on my "real life passions", which are photography, reading and a few other things. That won't leave much time for anything else in here, unfortunately.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I hope the new year brings me some inspiration!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;u&gt;End of 2011&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;2011 had a few turning points for me. Since separating from my husband, I feel so much happier! Those who say they are unhappy and don't do a thing about their lives, thinking it will get resolved magically, well no it doesn't work. Stop saying things will change, stop thinking it'll get better without lifting a finger. It won't. The only way to be happy is to take action and responsibility for yourself. Kids will manage and so will you. I'm tired of reading people who keep saying they can't do a thing because of the kids or because they love their spouse, but feel stuck or unhappy, thinking they'll find happiness magically. Fear of change is what prevents us from seeking happiness. Get off your ass and be happy; it works, trust me. Enough said.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;On that note, I want to wish you a great 2012 - health and joy, happiness and love. See you in the new year!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4322801126401788633-5222932440981476403?l=theworldbegins.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://theworldbegins.blogspot.com/feeds/5222932440981476403/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://theworldbegins.blogspot.com/2011/12/life-update-rant-end-of-2011.html#comment-form' title='10 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4322801126401788633/posts/default/5222932440981476403'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4322801126401788633/posts/default/5222932440981476403'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://theworldbegins.blogspot.com/2011/12/life-update-rant-end-of-2011.html' title='Life update, a rant &amp; the end of 2011'/><author><name>France</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13015208689942511974</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-z0wfj-NaVCY/Tw0Gx6Aa8_I/AAAAAAAAAbU/gZNqn5KOQyo/s1600/photo%25252525202-1.JPG'/></author><thr:total>10</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4322801126401788633.post-9126179630557101507</id><published>2011-12-24T10:28:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2011-12-24T10:28:25.778-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='a dash of happy'/><title type='text'>When all the conditions are right (a dash of happy)</title><content type='html'>1.

But all the conditions are right this morning.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That also means I have some time to take naughty pics for my Secret Santa. :D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, this isn't important, right? ;) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Merry Christmas to all of you and all the best for 2012. Be safe, be kind, tell people you love that you do love them, laugh, drink (but don't drive), eat, have sex and live like there's no tomorrow!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-3h_REzN7MW8/TYlSHqAB7QI/AAAAAAAAAMg/7xnCXHEvum4/s1600/imagesCAQ3BCDK.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="133" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-3h_REzN7MW8/TYlSHqAB7QI/AAAAAAAAAMg/7xnCXHEvum4/s200/imagesCAQ3BCDK.jpg" width="200" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4322801126401788633-9126179630557101507?l=theworldbegins.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://theworldbegins.blogspot.com/feeds/9126179630557101507/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://theworldbegins.blogspot.com/2011/12/when-all-conditions-are-right-dash-of.html#comment-form' title='9 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4322801126401788633/posts/default/9126179630557101507'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4322801126401788633/posts/default/9126179630557101507'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://theworldbegins.blogspot.com/2011/12/when-all-conditions-are-right-dash-of.html' title='When all the conditions are right (a dash of happy)'/><author><name>France</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13015208689942511974</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-z0wfj-NaVCY/Tw0Gx6Aa8_I/AAAAAAAAAbU/gZNqn5KOQyo/s1600/photo%25252525202-1.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-3h_REzN7MW8/TYlSHqAB7QI/AAAAAAAAAMg/7xnCXHEvum4/s72-c/imagesCAQ3BCDK.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>9</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4322801126401788633.post-7858198522658368089</id><published>2011-12-20T00:05:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2011-12-20T00:05:02.174-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='TMI Tuesday'/><title type='text'>Happy Holidays ~ TMI Tuesday (Dec 20, 2011)</title><content type='html'>&lt;h1&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://tmituesdayblog.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/happyholidays.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img alt="" src="http://tmituesdayblog.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/happyholidays.jpg?w=640" title="happyholidays" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;&lt;div&gt;This time of year there are so many holidays and celebrations that overlap, which is why it is called Holiday Season.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. What will you be celebrating? If it isn’t a commonly known holiday or celebration (i.e., Christmas, winter solstice, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa) briefly tell us about it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;I am celebrating Christmas. The madness has already started!! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. What’s your favorite Christmas or holiday tune?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;As much as I dislike Mariah Carey, I like "&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yXQViqx6GMY" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;All I want for Christmas&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;". It's sweet and gets my feet moving. I like a lot of songs, but this is the one that's playing now. Doing research is beyond me for now. :)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. If you are giving or receiving gifts this holiday season:&lt;br /&gt;- What’s the gift you most want?&lt;br /&gt;- What do you think is the best gift you are giving?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;Most wanted: Nothing, actually. What I want is to make it safely back home and spend time with my parents. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;Best gift I'm giving: My gifts are pretty regular and inexpensive... I'd say my presence? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. If you could spend this December holiday season anywhere, where would that be?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;I often complain about being too busy, driving around and being stuffed with food like a duck, however I don't think I'd want to spend it anywhere else but with my family back home. I wouldn't mind cloning&amp;nbsp;myself and spending it with someone else either! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. Your family has announced that the holiday celebration &amp;amp; get-together will be at your home. You think to yourself:&lt;br /&gt;a. Yes! Finally…the more the merrier.&lt;br /&gt;b. I don’t have enough room for all of you, but let’s rent a hall and you all get hotel rooms.&lt;br /&gt;c. Over my dead body, I don’t want you freaks in my house.&lt;br /&gt;d. Hmm…I wonder if it’s too late to book a flight to anywhere, leaving on Christmas eve?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;a) I am actually hoping that this will be the case next year and that my parents will be able to drive here and spend that time off with me. Otherwise, sure, why not! This is all about family. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6. Have you ever given a &lt;a href="http://tippinthescales.files.wordpress.com/2007/04/fruitcake.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;fruit cake&lt;/a&gt; as a Christmas gift or a gift at all? Do you even like fruit cake?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;Never given one because I've never attempted making one and I won't buy the grocery store fruit cake.&amp;nbsp;I love fruit cake and my mother makes the best! She makes it every year and I hope she made it again this year. I should get the recipe so I can make it myself one of these days.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bonus:  &lt;/strong&gt;Share with us one of your holiday traditions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;The first weekend of December is when I decorate&amp;nbsp;my tree. I've never had a real tree since living on my own&amp;nbsp;(yes, I know, I know....), but next year I plan on having the real deal mid-December and make the fake one in my basement.&amp;nbsp; Anyway, I try to keep one item every year (be it a bow from a gift or ornament) to put on my tree for the following years.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://tmituesdayblog.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/christmaslights-gf.gif" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img alt="" height="122" src="http://tmituesdayblog.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/christmaslights-gf.gif?w=380&amp;amp;h=122" title="ChristmasLights gf" width="380" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h3 style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;Go elf yourself!&lt;/span&gt; &lt;img alt=":D" src="http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif?m=1317430555g" /&gt; &lt;/h3&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://elfyourself.jibjab.com/" target="_blank"&gt;http://elfyourself.jibjab.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;I have done this for a few years.

If you were a car, which one would you be? What are some of your best features? &lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;I'd be something like a Chevette... lasts a long time and when you think she can't anymore, well, she still has some oomph left!! lol&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. If I gave you an elephant where would you hide it?&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt; In your backyard. Or your ass.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. Finish this sentence: Tomorrow I absolutely refuse to… &lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;think about tomorrow!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. What is the longest period of time that you’ve gone without a shower? &lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;2 days. I shiver just to think about it. It was a weekend at my ex-inlaws. We were visiting them on their campsite and even though they had a shower and water tank in their trailer, they were low (and knew better than me, obviously). We had to wash by hand. OK, not so bad... but when you are menstruating and smelling in the middle of a heat wave, you want a shower! (that is a TMI post, after all)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. What is the silliest prank you ever played on someone? &lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;It was on my co-worker's birthday, a few years ago. I snatched his car keys after another girl and I filled a few garbage bags full of balloons. We filled his car with them. The look on his face was priceless!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bonus: What is the best piece of gossip that you heard recently? &lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;I'm so good at keeping secrets that I would never tell.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;How to play TMI Tuesday:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt; Copy the above &lt;a href="http://../" target="_blank"&gt;TMI Tuesday&lt;/a&gt; questions to your webspace (i.e., a blog).

They were crazy enough so I though they’d be perfect for TMI Tuesday.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. Finish this thought: Nerds make me&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;want to play with them.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt; (idea from PocketRockettz)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. If you were in a beauty pageant, which would be your ticket to the tiara? (heard on the Newlywed Game)&lt;br /&gt;a. Talent&lt;br /&gt;b. Interview&lt;br /&gt;c. Swimsuit&lt;br /&gt;d. Evening wear (i.e., gown, tuxedo)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;Either the evening gown (because I love dressing up and being girly) or the interview: with my french accent, they can only be mesmerized ;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. On your body what is eye candy and what is an eyesore?&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;I like&amp;nbsp;the curves of my hips...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-awk8UN48HXY/TjCHC0Q892I/AAAAAAAAAVA/tB_r72KGupc/s1600/photo+3.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="200" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-awk8UN48HXY/TjCHC0Q892I/AAAAAAAAAVA/tB_r72KGupc/s200/photo+3.JPG" width="133" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;but&amp;nbsp;I wish I had slimmer legs/calves/ankles. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/--PLUnf0rPC4/TtRQoIDEEsI/AAAAAAAAAaY/OiomdKh9_0o/s1600/leg.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="149" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/--PLUnf0rPC4/TtRQoIDEEsI/AAAAAAAAAaY/OiomdKh9_0o/s200/leg.jpg" width="200" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. Your penis is starring in a gritty crime drama? Which part would it play?&lt;br /&gt;a. Straight laced detective&lt;br /&gt;b. Hooded criminal&lt;br /&gt;c. Crooked cop&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;I think we've established, in last weeks TMI, that I don't have a cock. :)&amp;nbsp;If I had one, he'd probably be "hardass motherfucker"! (LOL just kidding! See, I'm not fit for having a cock)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. Would you rather? (as heard on the Graham Norton Show)&lt;br /&gt;a. Eat dog food for every meal for a year or&lt;br /&gt;b. Get shot in the knee&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;Good question... If I can still walk after recovery, I'd take getting shot in the knee for the chance to eat whatever I want.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6. If you crapped yourself at work what would you do? (This was a poll taken at a blues bar…seriously)&lt;br /&gt;a. Go commando&lt;br /&gt;b. Do nothing&lt;br /&gt;c. Turn ‘em inside out&lt;br /&gt;d. Wash in employee sink&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;Those polls were surely taken by guys. :P&amp;nbsp; I'd likely go commando if the outside clothing hasn't been "tainted" (otherwise, I'd fake feeling ill and go home!).

Many other holidays will occur over the next month around the world and everyone seems to celebrate with food, hence, the &lt;strong&gt;TMI Tuesday&lt;/strong&gt; theme…Cooking.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. Haagen-Dazs or Ben &amp;amp; Jerry’s? &lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;If I were seriously into ice cream,&amp;nbsp;I'd pick the cheapest of the two!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. What is always in your refrigerator? &lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;Beer. What? I'm Canadian, damnit!! Otherwise, I'd say eggs.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. What’s your worst kitchen disaster? &lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;I once cooked a turkey with the pouch of kidneys, heart and neck still in the turkey. Tasted good regardless. Sometimes I forget a key ingredient when baking. I've learned the lesson and take out everything&amp;nbsp;I need before starting. But I'm famous for making stuff stick to any pan, mostly pizza dough!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. Favorite kitchen gadget? &lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;I got rid of all the stuff I wasn't using, ie most gadgets. I have a lot of whips and spatulas, in all shapes, sizes and colors. That's my only indulgence.&amp;nbsp;The only gadget I have is a hard-boiled egg slicer. I rarely use it. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. What was your last meal? Did you like it? &lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;Thai beef and brocoli with fried rice and a nice glass of red wine.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt; It was very good!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6. What’s your favorite cookie? &lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;Chocolate chip cookie and a basic&amp;nbsp;oatmeal cookie. I had a colleague ask me for the oatmeal cookie recipe just yesterday!&amp;nbsp;I make them both and they're always a success. I'll gladly share the oatmeal cookie recipe for the cookie exchange.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Instead of just telling us about your favorite cookie why don’t you share the recipe via &lt;a href="http://pleasure-principle-hedone.blogspot.com/2011/11/youre-invited-to.html" target="_blank"&gt;The Great Cookie Exchange Extravaganza&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;————&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How to play TMI Tuesday:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; Copy the above &lt;a href="http://tmituesdayblog.wordpress.com/2011/11/21/" target="_blank"&gt;TMI Tuesday&lt;/a&gt; questions to your webspace (i.e., a blog).

The NY Times called &lt;a href="http://www.formspring.me/" target="_blank"&gt;Formspring &lt;/a&gt;“An E-vite to Insults and Crude Queries.” I admit, I pulled the tame, less crude questions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. What is your favorite type of weather?  &lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;Blue skies with a touch of clouds, a light cooling breeze, on the warm side but not the hot side.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. How do you sustain the motivation and energy needed to write erotica regularly? &lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;I don't make it an objective to write it regularly, but I don't think of myself as "a hot shot erotica writer". I'd rather write/talk to certain people instead. :)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. Do you like roleplay? What is your favorite scenario? &lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;Being a feisty, stubborn girl in need of a correction.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. Have you ever been hurt so badly in a past relationship, that it has affected you for the rest of your life? &lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;"So badly" no. I've been badly hurt, but the end result was&amp;nbsp;good. It made me more determined and driven to find what I wanted. It made me realize that ,what I thought I was looking for wasn't where I thought it was.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. What message would you want to put in a fortune cookie? &lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;You'll move on when you stop looking at the past.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6. How big is your dick? &lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;*looking in my panties* Phew, don't have one!&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bonus:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;  I would like to know, do you have Formspring on your blog? Why or why not? &lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;I have a formspring account but I removed the widget since no one cares. Fine, I'll reactivate it for a little while!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bonus, bonus:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; What is the best or oddest formspring question you’ve been asked? What was your answer? &lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;I'd say the best or oddest is yet to come, so go ahead and try me.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;————&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How to play TMI Tuesday:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; Copy the above &lt;a href="http://tmituesdayblog.wordpress.com/2011/11/14/" target="_blank"&gt;TMI Tuesday&lt;/a&gt; questions to your webspace (i.e., a blog).

What sexual act arouses you the most? For that matter, what nonsexual act arouses you the most?&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;I would say kissing does it, especially when fingers in my hair are involved... Non sexually, it would have to be listening to blues music. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;2. What is your signature or “go to” move that is sure to get a lover in the mood for sex?&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;A move? I don't have one. I don't think men need to "get in the mood" - they are always in the mood! ;) More seriously though, if I had to work at it, it'd be saying nice things to him&amp;nbsp;(that are true, not only said with one goal in mind), soft kisses near the ear, touching his arm or shoulder or thigh, smile at what he says, etc. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;... or just get naked in front of him!! Much easier. ;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;3. Do you queef? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;What is that? I guess I don't queef if I don't know what queefing is. What a funny word though! Hey, did you hear her queef last night? Yeah she queefed alright! LOL. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;OK. I did look it up and now I know what a queef is. I learn every day!!! ;) Yes, I have been known to queef. It's hard to disguise it... and you want to say "that wasn't a fart, I promise!!!". But you wonder if you should even bring it up, maybe in hope that he hasn't noticed. Try to explain that you aren't farting, but it's your vagina expulsing air... How do you make it sound believable? :)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;I wonder what men think of it though, when you notice your partner queefing... do you burst out laughing, do you look at her funny, etc. ?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;4. What’s the weirdest thing that’s happened to YOU as a result of your sex writings (e.g., blog, erotica, sex toy reviews)? (borrowed from Insatiabear)&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Not much!!! ;)  &lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;I have a bunch of lurkers, but I don't think that's weird.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt; I haven't been invited to orgies, threesomes, etc. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;One thing happened with a past lover though... and it should have been my first clue that I was in for a disappointment. On our first face-to-face lunch date, he mentioned reading something on a blog.  During lunch, all that kept playing in my mind..."I just know I read that somewhere... but where?" constantly. It was bugging me. Later I recalled it was a reference to a blog post by one famous blogger in this circle of sex bloggers (which I found out much later). I didn't know, at the time, that the future lover was also a blogger... and that he was blogging about me for the time we were "together". And the blogging about me wasn't in the nicest of words, let's just say that. I wasn't very happy when all of this blew up, to say the least. What a small world though! We kept in touch for a while after I ended things with him, but since then, the ex-lover has also turned into an ex-blogger (although he's probably blogging under a new identity, that wouldn't surprise me). &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;5. Have you ever had sex while someone watched?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;…someone else was in the room?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;…someone else in the bed, next to you and the person you’re having sex with?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;What were the circumstances?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;No. I've been watched masturbating by another person, but not watched while having sex with someone.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;6. When it comes to sex, and discussing it with your teen have you or would you:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;a. Let school sex education handle it&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;b. Hand the teen a book or point them to a website&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;c. Talk frankly and openly&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;d. Avoid it all together–society, friends, and the internet will give all the info needed&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;I don't have kids, but I would try my best to make sure they don't learn from the internet and porn sites.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bonus:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;   Remember the song, “I’m too sexy?” &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=39YUXIKrOFk" target="_blank"&gt;CLICK to refresh your memory&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;What are you too sexy for?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;Ah, the good old times!!! LOL. I don't think I'm too sexy for anything or anyone. I am (and can be) sexy, but only in the eyes of&amp;nbsp;the people&amp;nbsp;who view me as so. But I'm not thinking of myself as too sexy.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;————-&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How to play TMI Tuesday:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; Copy the above &lt;a href="http://tmituesdayblog.wordpress.com/2011/10/31/"&gt;TMI Tuesday&lt;/a&gt; questions to your webspace (i.e., a blog).

I've been lazy and just blah about blogging.&amp;nbsp;So,&amp;nbsp;the 7x7&amp;nbsp;award&amp;nbsp;goes like this (or so I read):&amp;nbsp;I have to go back to&amp;nbsp;all my previous posts and list which one tops each category below.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-lEk8jN0w-7w/ToE0f3wbaOI/AAAAAAAACww/x8FiXZL9k5Q/s1600/7x7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" ida="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-lEk8jN0w-7w/ToE0f3wbaOI/AAAAAAAACww/x8FiXZL9k5Q/s320/7x7.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;Most beautiful&lt;/u&gt;: &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I think when I&amp;nbsp;speak about who I truly am (ie the girl, the woman, with a past, with hopes and dreams, with secrets and troubles) is when&amp;nbsp;I am most&amp;nbsp;beautiful. This is true for everyone else too. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;One post comes to mind,&amp;nbsp;about moving on from the past and entering a new phase. I feel beautiful now, more than ever, because I'm happy overall.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://theworldbegins.blogspot.com/2011/02/my-world-begins.html" target="_blank"&gt;http://theworldbegins.&lt;wbr&gt;blogspot.com/2011/02/my-world-&lt;wbr&gt;begins.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;Most helpful&lt;/u&gt;:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I&amp;nbsp;hope that my post, about a minor medical procedure, helped someone somehow (not sure how though).&amp;nbsp;Regularly, I see this page being read after it's been found by people googling the procedure. I had lots of questions before the actual day and, being a Google addict, I&amp;nbsp;googled&amp;nbsp;everything on it!!! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://theworldbegins.blogspot.com/2011/07/adventure-in-colposcopy.html" target="_blank"&gt;http://theworldbegins.&lt;wbr&gt;blogspot.com/2011/07/&lt;wbr&gt;adventure-in-colposcopy.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;Most popular&lt;/u&gt;: &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;If most popular means most comments, then this one fits the bill. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://theworldbegins.blogspot.com/2011/01/sting-hnt.html" target="_blank"&gt;http://theworldbegins.&lt;wbr&gt;blogspot.com/2011/01/sting-&lt;wbr&gt;hnt.html&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;Most controversial&lt;/u&gt;: &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Nothing really controversial happened. Other than ranting about stuff, there's no controversy here. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;Most surprisingly successful&lt;/u&gt;: &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Any silly post or picture&amp;nbsp;will be surprisingly successful. I had a lot of fun writing and living this one "live"!!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://theworldbegins.blogspot.com/2011/03/stuff-that-happens-to-me.html" target="_blank"&gt;http://theworldbegins.&lt;wbr&gt;blogspot.com/2011/03/stuff-&lt;wbr&gt;that-happens-to-me.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;Most underrated&lt;/u&gt;: &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Well... I would say that any post can be perceived as underrated. I can't pick just one, so I'd rather not pick at all and move on to another category before my blood pressure rockets and I start ranting on comments. :D&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;Most prideworthy&lt;/u&gt;:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Ah! Now we get to the&amp;nbsp;gritty and dirty.&amp;nbsp;This is where I should be telling you that these posts (collected under one page)&amp;nbsp;should have gotten more comments than received. This was a lot of fun to write and it gave me a little drive to write erotica one day (it's a long-term goal, ok? lol).&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://theworldbegins.blogspot.com/p/confessional-fantasy.html" target="_blank"&gt;http://theworldbegins.&lt;wbr&gt;blogspot.com/p/confessional-&lt;wbr&gt;fantasy.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;~~ * ~~&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I also have to nominate 7 bloggers for this award.

The swirl of thought and feeling spinning in your head almost makes you dizzy, but through all the fuzziness you are able to focus on the intense desire for pure physical pleasure.&amp;nbsp; This is what places one foot in front of the other as you seemingly calmly walk down the hallway to knock on a door.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;The door slowly opens before you and I gently take your hand leading you into the room.&amp;nbsp; My hand feels hard and rough as it firmly grasps yours.&amp;nbsp; The room is dim as it is lit only by candles placed about.&amp;nbsp; I don't waste any time as I pull you close to me and press my nose into your hair as we embrace so I can begin taking you in.&amp;nbsp; I inhale deeply taking you into my lungs.&amp;nbsp; I want my every sense to be filled with you.&amp;nbsp; With your sexuality, with your excited sense of being.&amp;nbsp; I kiss your cheek as I softly stroke your hair.&amp;nbsp; I carefully take your jaw line in my hands and look directly into your eyes and ask you to keep them open as I kiss your full lips.&amp;nbsp; As soft as our kiss is, the piercing stare we are locked in is almost too much to take.&amp;nbsp; You can see exactly what I want to express in my eyes.&amp;nbsp; As I pull away from you I unblinkingly whisper, "I want you to close your eyes now and completely let go, focus on my touch."&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;I begin to kiss you again as my hands move from your jaw down your neck and across your shoulders and down your arms to your hands.&amp;nbsp; I hold your hands briefly while we continue to gently kiss.&amp;nbsp; Wanting to explore your body, my hands move to your hips pulling you tighter against me.&amp;nbsp; You can feel how excited I am.&amp;nbsp; My tongue presses past your lips and into your mouth wanting to mix our saliva together.&amp;nbsp; I tell you to unbutton my pants as I now take your neck in my hands.&amp;nbsp; Continuing our kissing, I gently drag my finger tips over your soft skin and slowly begin to tighten my grasp as you fight to get my pants open.&amp;nbsp; You pull them down to the floor as you sit on the edge of the bed.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;I take your hair in both my hands leading your mouth to my stiff cock.&amp;nbsp; I tell you to grab my ass as I place one hand under your flexing jaw as I shove my cock deep into your mouth.&amp;nbsp; I begin fucking your mouth keeping a firm grip on your hair and throat so I can feel your throat swell as I press deeper and deeper past your lips.&amp;nbsp; I continue to pull your mouth onto my hard cock until I quickly stop you short of making me come and pull you up to kiss you deeply.&amp;nbsp; Your tongue welcomes mine as I pull your top open and begin to pinch your nipples.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;I push you back on the bed and pull your pants off you quickly.&amp;nbsp; I don't even remove your panties as I impatiently pull them to the side to taste your horny little pussy.&amp;nbsp; I press my tongue deep into your cunt to fully taste you.&amp;nbsp; I begin to suck on your pussy lips and flick your hard clit with my pointed tongue.&amp;nbsp; I continue to play with your clit as I slowly work a finger and then a second inside your hot cunt.&amp;nbsp; I find your g spot and begin to rub it slowly as I work my lips up to your hard nipples.&amp;nbsp; I tease them with my tongue and teeth, biting and sucking them as I fuck you with my fingers.&amp;nbsp; "Are you ready for my cock now?" I ask.&amp;nbsp; "Yes", comes your breathless response.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;I pull you up off the bed and stand you against a mirror on the wall, placing your hands on either side of it.&amp;nbsp; "I want you to be able to look into my eyes as I enter you from behind."&amp;nbsp; I press the head of my cock just past your slippery wet lips.&amp;nbsp; You can feel it pulsing as I press inside you.&amp;nbsp; You can feel every twitch I feel as you look into my eyes in the mirror.&amp;nbsp; Once fully inside you I pull you by the hair arching your back so our lips can meet as I slowly begin to pump my cock in and out of you.&amp;nbsp; I squeeze your nipples as I trace my saliva over your neck with my tongue all the while thrusting my hard shaft in and out of you.&amp;nbsp; I grab your hips with both hands and begin fucking you furiously.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;The pace is so quick and intense that it feels as though you are being fucked by a wild animal.&amp;nbsp; You are.&amp;nbsp; I bite and lick and suck at your neck and shoulder as I slow slightly, grinding each stroke in as far as it will possibly go.&amp;nbsp; I want to come.&amp;nbsp; I pull you back to the bed where I lay you down and climb between your legs.&amp;nbsp; My cock needs no guidance as the head smears more precum over your clit as it presses inside you once more.&amp;nbsp; I take your hands in mine and raise them over your head on the bed.&amp;nbsp; My chest presses against your hard nipples as I begin stroking myself inside you.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;I quickly pull myself out of you wanting to taste our sex mixed together in your pussy.&amp;nbsp; I press my tongue against your clit and into your sloppy wet pussy savouring the taste.&amp;nbsp; I want to come now.&amp;nbsp; I raise myself back up and begin fucking you with long deep hard strokes.&amp;nbsp; I press my tongue deep into your mouth as my come shoots deep inside you.&amp;nbsp; I continue stroking as our come seeps out of you and onto the sheets.&amp;nbsp; We continue fucking for over an hour.&amp;nbsp; We are both covered in sweat and saliva and sex.&amp;nbsp; We have a shower together where we taste each other again before washing it all away.&amp;nbsp; But not wanting to quit, we begin all over again...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;~~&amp;nbsp;* ~~&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;u&gt;Note&lt;/u&gt;: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;As you might have noticed, my blog has been dormant for a month or so, with only weekly FFFs to fill up the space.

I was sipping my café au lait, completely &lt;em&gt;distracted&lt;/em&gt;. On that day, I was &lt;em&gt;immersed&lt;/em&gt; in my thoughts, going from reverie to reverie, daydreaming about the lover I had left behind. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The scent of croissants ("fresh out of the oven, is there anything better?", I thought) filled the air and reminded me of our breakfasts in bed. The stealthy way he would get out of bed at dawn to make his way down to the boulangerie below was adorable. In the meantime, our coffee would brew in the small apartment we secretly had together. He'd come back in the bedroom, set the tray on the bedside table, kiss my forehead before standing up to look at me with a smile on his face. Sometimes I'd be awake and would look at him with semi-closed eyes, trying to suppress&amp;nbsp;a mischevious&amp;nbsp;grin. He'd know, but he'd play the part. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then he would undress to join me again under the covers, my warm naked body contrasting against his cooler skin. His lips would kiss my neck while his hand would pull me into him, cradling my body and slowly waking me up. We would make love in the morning light, eat our croissants, then fuck some more. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-RtpatCQxeoc/ToB6Q0j-IVI/AAAAAAAAASA/hBfjD8R_dSU/s1600/everything-else-92fromlexi.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="213" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-RtpatCQxeoc/ToB6Q0j-IVI/AAAAAAAAASA/hBfjD8R_dSU/s320/everything-else-92fromlexi.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;(Image this week provided by &lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href="http://lex-ploits.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #336699;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Lexi&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt;, original source unknown)&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;"Such wonderful memories", I thought with a smile. That's when I saw him and my heart stopped. He looked like him, although it wasn't him. I couldn't stop staring. When he stared back through the glass, from across the street, straight into my eyes - as if he knew I'd been looking - I almost died. This look, this gaze... burned and tattooed me deep within, in a place that had been frozen and cold, &lt;em&gt;adrift&lt;/em&gt; inside my own body.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In a trance, I dropped a few coins on the table and rushed out of the café in search of him. Streets were strangely deserted all of a sudden, except for a chair, its metallic legs bright in the sunlight. Unknowingly, I was already sitting down on it. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I felt him behind me, felt his warmth and power. I swear I could smell his cologne too. He slid his strong hand on my thigh and whispered in my ear that he'd take me there - again, as if he knew my thoughts. As soon as his hand touched my knee and the flesh-to-flesh connection was made, I saw all the pleasurable experiences flashing before my eyes. Were they past, present or future? I was uncertain, but I knew I wasn't &lt;em&gt;alone&lt;/em&gt; anymore.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;~~ * ~~&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;I won't apologize for my behavior, but I broke all the rules this week. *grins* &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Over the word count, I played with synonyms for the required word,&amp;nbsp;"lost". &lt;br /&gt;Just showcasing the rebel in me, because I can. :)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;~~ * ~~&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Challenge was to write a flash fiction of 150-354 words&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;and use the word &lt;i&gt;"...lost..."&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Check out Panser's lair for the list of other (probably well behaved) participants!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://insatiabear.blogspot.com/" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" n4="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_KF4rfWedM28/S6KxXgJSOQI/AAAAAAAAAzk/RhnEuNhm_Ko/s144/fff2.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4322801126401788633-4674779343623851785?l=theworldbegins.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://theworldbegins.blogspot.com/feeds/4674779343623851785/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://theworldbegins.blogspot.com/2011/09/at-cafe-flash-fiction-friday.html#comment-form' title='9 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4322801126401788633/posts/default/4674779343623851785'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4322801126401788633/posts/default/4674779343623851785'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://theworldbegins.blogspot.com/2011/09/at-cafe-flash-fiction-friday.html' title='At the café (Flash Fiction Friday)'/><author><name>France</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13015208689942511974</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-z0wfj-NaVCY/Tw0Gx6Aa8_I/AAAAAAAAAbU/gZNqn5KOQyo/s1600/photo%25252525202-1.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-RtpatCQxeoc/ToB6Q0j-IVI/AAAAAAAAASA/hBfjD8R_dSU/s72-c/everything-else-92fromlexi.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>9</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4322801126401788633.post-3067640179744656199</id><published>2011-09-23T00:15:00.116-04:00</published><updated>2011-09-29T08:27:38.482-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Flash Fiction Friday'/><title type='text'>La mort des amants (Flash Fiction Friday)</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;(alt. title "Death of lovers")&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;Clad with only her long trench coat over her naked body, save for some stockings she had slipped on in the lobby's washroom, she arrived to their room to find it empty.&amp;nbsp;She texted him, but no response... she would wait then.

Her small hand&amp;nbsp;held onto&amp;nbsp;his crisp shirt, clutching it so hard her knuckles turned white.&amp;nbsp;She tried to kiss him. She wanted one last kiss, one last embrace.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She woke up in a sweat, realizing she had almost ripped the sheets off the bed. She couldn't believe how vivid this dream had been... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Daylight had faded by now, it was almost sunset and a reddish glow bathed the room, warm and surreal. Only then did she see the folded note on the pillow next to her. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And she just knew. Knew&amp;nbsp;he'd never come to her again. She unfolded the note and his words stood out,&amp;nbsp;boldly written on the cheap hotel paper. Tears formed in her eyes as she read his&amp;nbsp;last words.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Some evening made of rose and of mystical blue &lt;br /&gt;A single flash will pass between us &lt;br /&gt;Like a long sob, charged with farewells&lt;br /&gt;... &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;She couldn't quite read the rest, as tears blurred her vision and sobs made her hand shake. She folded the note back, held it to her chest&amp;nbsp;and stared at the door... a door that would forever remain closed.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;~~ * ~~&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Challenge was to write a piece &lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;containing an &lt;strong&gt;even number of words&lt;/strong&gt; (246)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;using the &lt;strong&gt;provided picture&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;a &lt;strong&gt;quotation from a poem or&amp;nbsp;song lyrics&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;~~ * ~~&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;u&gt;Note:&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;Mistress Lexi asked us to quote a song lyric or poem in our piece.&amp;nbsp;If I was going to sweat this one out, why not really make it a challenge?!&amp;nbsp;;) I went back to my old(er) days of college where I studied poetry. One collection of poems came to mind from a favorite poet of mine, Charles Beaudelaire and a collection, "Les Fleurs du mal" ("Flowers of Evil").&amp;nbsp;The post title is the title of a poem from that collection. I am using a translation provided on the internet, but the French/original version is definitely&amp;nbsp;the piece to read. The French&amp;nbsp;version, as well as the complete translation, can be found &lt;a href="http://fleursdumal.org/poem/197"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;~~ * ~~&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://lex-ploits.blogspot.com/"&gt;Lexi&lt;/a&gt; was our host for this week's challenging challenge!!

The&amp;nbsp;fragrance of jasmine that emanated from her made me float. Her black hair shined bright,&amp;nbsp;completing&amp;nbsp;her untamed&amp;nbsp;and&amp;nbsp;exotic allure. I wanted to touch, savour, smell&amp;nbsp;and feel every inch, every part&amp;nbsp;of her. I wanted to&amp;nbsp;see her dark brown eyes glaze over&amp;nbsp;as my fingers sneaked&amp;nbsp;in and&amp;nbsp;weaved through her damp curls to find her moist for me. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We danced chest to chest,&amp;nbsp;lust and sensuality surrounding us, enticing us.&amp;nbsp; I could only&amp;nbsp;imagine she would be as delicious as her scent...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_vrbGR94aOu0/TLyQydCWN3I/AAAAAAAAAHI/ZUZUyby9pkU/s1600/katherina.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="280" rba="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_vrbGR94aOu0/TLyQydCWN3I/AAAAAAAAAHI/ZUZUyby9pkU/s320/katherina.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;From Jen' Light's Portfolio &lt;a href="http://jen-light.blogspot.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #d52a33;"&gt;http://jen-light.blogspot.com/&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;~~ * ~~&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Challenge was to write a piece of exactly &lt;strong&gt;124&lt;/strong&gt; words &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;em&gt;using the provided picture and had to include the word "&lt;strong&gt;load&lt;/strong&gt;" ﻿&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;~~ * ~~&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Other participants are: &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;TemptingSweets&amp;nbsp;@ &lt;a href="http://temptingsweets99.wordpress.com/"&gt;http://temptingsweets99.wordpress.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;div&gt;Max @ &lt;a href="http://mystic-satyr.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://mystic-satyr.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Hedone @ &lt;a href="http://pleasure-principle-hedone.blogspot.com/2011/09/flash-fiction-friday-september-16-2011.html"&gt;http://pleasure-principle-hedone.blogspot.com/2011/09/flash-fiction-friday-september-16-2011.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Goldi @ &lt;a href="http://dangerousdelight.wordpress.com/" target="_blank"&gt;http://dangerousdelight.&lt;wbr&gt;wordpress.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Lexi @ &lt;a href="http://lex-ploits.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://lex-ploits.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Advizor @ &lt;a href="http://advizortoall.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://advizortoall.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Ryan @ &lt;a href="http://regularguygonebad.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://regularguygonebad.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;David @ &lt;a href="http://dsinvegas.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://dsinvegas.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Word Wytch @ &lt;a href="http://wordwytch.wordpress.com/2011/09/15/flash-fiction-friday-the-ebay-bride/"&gt;http://wordwytch.wordpress.com/2011/09/15/flash-fiction-friday-the-ebay-bride/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Linda Long @ &lt;a href="http://lindalulong.wordpress.com/2011/09/16/flash-fiction-friday-91611-the-obedient-wives-fff/"&gt;http://lindalulong.wordpress.com/2011/09/16/flash-fiction-friday-91611-the-obedient-wives-fff/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you played and I forgot to include your link,&amp;nbsp;please say so in&amp;nbsp;my comment box and I'll update the list as soon as humanly possible (which could be as late as&amp;nbsp;Monday!).

As I was back on the dating scene for a while, I felt like&amp;nbsp;participating! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://tmituesdayblog.files.wordpress.com/2011/09/dating2.gif"&gt;&lt;img alt="" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-309" height="240" src="http://tmituesdayblog.files.wordpress.com/2011/09/dating2.gif?w=529&amp;amp;h=318" title="dating2" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. You’re on a speed date. You’ve got 7 minutes with the potential partner. You already know the person’s name. What are the first three questions you would ask?&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 1)&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Do you have a steady job?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 2) Can you clean up after yourself?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 3) Do you like sex?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. Have you ever participated in speed dating? Did you get a regular date/second date out of it? &lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;Never took part in speed dating. I prefer to take my time, most of the time. ;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. Do you participate in online dating? How many dates have you had as a result of online dating sites/matches? &lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;Yes I participated. Overall, using 2 different sites, I had 8&amp;nbsp;"first&amp;nbsp;meetings"&amp;nbsp;total.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. You are attracted to:&lt;br /&gt;a. Who people are?&lt;br /&gt;b. What people have?&lt;br /&gt;c. What they can do?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;a.Who people are, most definitely. I was (am)&amp;nbsp;looking for a long-term/life partner, not a one night stand. I'll apply the same logic to any meaningful relationship I'm seeking out.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. What “little red flag” will cause you to end a date or immediately decide this person isn’t for you? &lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;A look of creepiness in their eyes (drool at the corner of the mouth is the same), a feeling of "something is&amp;nbsp;not right", finding they lied on their profile, terrible manners, etc.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6. What do you feel you need to sacrifice or have sacrificed to be a part of a relationship? &lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;I'm too old to sacrifice myself anymore. You should like me the way I am now and I'll act the same towards you. I think compromising is perfectly normal and different. I've sacrificed way too much already!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7. If you cooked for your date, what would you cook? &lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;Lasagna or chicken casserole. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;8. At the end of a first date, how would you kiss your date?&lt;br /&gt;a. Press your lips against theirs&lt;br /&gt;b. Gentle kiss on the cheek&lt;br /&gt;c. Lots o’ tongue, like you’re on a tonsil exploration&lt;br /&gt;d. I don’t kiss on the first date&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;b. On the cheek. At least I'd get a second date, LOL.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bonus&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;:&amp;nbsp; You just put up a profile on a dating site. You must describe yourself in 10 words or less. What are your 10 words?&lt;br /&gt;"&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;I'm complicated and complex.

And I've been searching the place forever it seems.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And now,&amp;nbsp;I was&amp;nbsp;coming undone in my hurry. "Great!", I&amp;nbsp;said to no one else but myself, sighing in disbelief.&amp;nbsp;I wished the sound of my voice, in the stillness of the morning, would help ease my nerves. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I quickly glanced&amp;nbsp;back,&amp;nbsp;displaying a false sense of bravado. I sensed&amp;nbsp;burning eyes that set&amp;nbsp;my&amp;nbsp;sex on fire,&amp;nbsp;felt his warm breath on the nape of my neck... my senses tingling, alarming me of his powerful presence, goosebumps on my flesh, my heart beating a bit faster, as I felt almost out of breath. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Could&amp;nbsp;I be drawing more attention at this moment,&amp;nbsp;half naked and dressed in red&amp;nbsp;against the white canvas of freshly fallen snow? I turned back, my basket of&amp;nbsp;goodies on my arm, pulled the coat back&amp;nbsp;before freezing&amp;nbsp;my sweet morsels and resumed my route.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&amp;nbsp;knew the path would lead me&amp;nbsp;straight to him, to my big bad wolf, who&amp;nbsp;had been&amp;nbsp;patiently waiting for me.&amp;nbsp;He'd take good care of me, he had promised. I was eager to&amp;nbsp;take shelter in&amp;nbsp;his open arms and let myself be swallowed whole.

I e-mailed him last week to ask if everything was okay, and haven't yet received a response.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With a second week rapidly passing, I thought I would post a pic, in case anyone would like to play along. I am definitely *not* trying to tread on PB's turf, and I hope that he's well, and that he'll return to hosting FFF very soon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;So here goes: the challenge for this Friday is to use the picture above to write a story of 200-225 words. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;There's no required phrase. I won't be checking word counts, or verifying the lack of the required phrase, but anyone who wants to see me after class is welcome to come in any time. :-)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I won't be collecting links of participants, but you're welcome to leave a comment here if you're playing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please re-post or spread the word to anyone who might be interested in playing. And if you see PB, tell him we miss him and to hurry back! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4322801126401788633-3513984581774838937?l=theworldbegins.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://theworldbegins.blogspot.com/feeds/3513984581774838937/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://theworldbegins.blogspot.com/2011/09/fff-challenge-for-99.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4322801126401788633/posts/default/3513984581774838937'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4322801126401788633/posts/default/3513984581774838937'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://theworldbegins.blogspot.com/2011/09/fff-challenge-for-99.html' title='FFF challenge for 9/9'/><author><name>France</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13015208689942511974</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-z0wfj-NaVCY/Tw0Gx6Aa8_I/AAAAAAAAAbU/gZNqn5KOQyo/s1600/photo%25252525202-1.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-XjDjIX5-4og/TmfF9rowN8I/AAAAAAAAAUI/cSfwhqhwG0A/s72-c/red-in-snow.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4322801126401788633.post-774574041342198707</id><published>2011-09-06T07:43:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2011-09-06T07:43:55.078-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='TMI Tuesday'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='answering questions is fun'/><title type='text'>Naked ~ TMI Tuesday (Sept 6, 2011)</title><content type='html'>This week’s TMI Tuesday questions are brought you by Yummy aka &lt;a href="http://heelsnstocking.blogspot.com/" target="_blank" title="Sexual Adventures of a Married Woman"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #0066cc;"&gt;Heelsnstocking&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; and Hedone. Thank you HnS for the theme.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. What do you wear to sleep in?&amp;nbsp; &lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;Usually a cotton t-shirt or cami and my panties.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. Do you ever walk around your own place naked?&amp;nbsp; &lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;When I have the house to myself, yes. Sometimes I'll venture downstairs naked&amp;nbsp;to grab something from the kitchen.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. Have you or would you ever answer the door naked?&amp;nbsp; &lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;To shock some religious group wanting me to adhere to their religion, or some energy company wanting me to sign a contract, when I specifically don't welcome sollicitation of any kind? You bet I would! But I don't have the guts to. LOL&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. What part of your body do you like to be on show? Why? &lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;No part in particular. I don't want to be on show!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. When sunbathing how much do you bare? &lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;I am very self conscious. I try to wear something that is appropriate for my body type and age. I have a&amp;nbsp;tankini and a bikini, but definitely feel better in the tankini.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6. Have you or would you bare all on a naturist (nude) beach?&amp;nbsp; &lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;Not really my style. I'm not a beach person to start with.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7. Have you ever flashed your bits in public? If not would you if it turned your partner on?&amp;nbsp; &lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;I haven't. No I wouldn't, but I would do other stuff in public that is more discreet. ;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;8. Have you ever given a striptease or has anyone given you one? Did you enjoy it?&amp;nbsp; &lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;I've done it once before. Felt a bit weird, didn't last long either! I'd probably do it again and wouldn't mind receiving one either. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;9. Ever gone skinny dipping? Alone or with others?&amp;nbsp; &lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;No.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;10. Do you like to look at naked people or do you want show off your nakedness?&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt; I like to look at other people. I'm more voyeur than exhibitionist though. I'd show my nakedness in an appropriate place only.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bonus&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;:&amp;nbsp; Sexually speaking, what’s the furthest you would go with a partner in public? Have you had sex in public?&amp;nbsp; &lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;With people around, just some minor display of affection (kissing, some light teasing and touching), nothing too heavy.

I pretended to have&amp;nbsp;computer problems&amp;nbsp;so I could drop by his station. Leaning against the desk, playing with my curly hair, coyly&amp;nbsp;biting my lower lip while babbling incoherently.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm not sure he was listening. Behind his glasses, his eyes glazed over my cleavage down to my hips.&amp;nbsp;His mouth opened slightly and his pants tented a bit.&amp;nbsp; The tip of my&amp;nbsp;tongue moistened my lips,&amp;nbsp;and his pants became even more tight&amp;nbsp;as he grew harder. A teasing game was going on.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I turned around,&amp;nbsp;hips swaying, a trail of perfume in my wake. Ponytail bouncing in sync with my heels clicking. He knew I'd be back. I always was... I'm his medication and he, my pusher. We'd reconvene later, at the apartment, if we made it.&amp;nbsp;But not tonight.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Tonight, we're overdosing together here instead. At his desk. On his desk. Against his desk. He will&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;pound me after hours&lt;/em&gt;, over and over. Relentlessly, until the crack of dawn. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Work all day, fuck all night. Take as directed.

A small guard is still up... in a way, I still expect something to happen. I'm expecting the worse to keep disappointments minimal. I know it's a sad way to look at things, but it works for me!&amp;nbsp;In the beginning, I noticed something that made me doubt his whereabouts and it's been at the back of my mind since then.

I have a severe case of attention-span issues. I read posts, I see them, but then I click somewhere else, or I do something else at the same time, and&amp;nbsp;I forget about commenting.&amp;nbsp;I am a bit spaced-out at the moment... ;) As most of you as well, when I have a few days worth of reading, I get a bit discouraged at the task at hand... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Winter will be a bit better for the blogging community (I hope so!). With summer in full&amp;nbsp;swing, what's the point of putting so much time and effort into posts, when I very well know you'd prefer to be at the pool, the beach or the golf course, sipping drinks and enjoying the nice weather, as opposed to reading blogs?!&amp;nbsp; I'm not sure about you, but I&amp;nbsp;feel it's sometimes easier to comment on a meme/generic post than it is to do&amp;nbsp;on a personal story/fantasy post (such as &lt;a href="http://theworldbegins.blogspot.com/2011/08/upstairs.html"&gt;this last one&lt;/a&gt; that nobody saw because they were just occupied with summertime activities I hope!).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also, just a tip for anyone who is having some secrets (I'm sure others have mentioned that tip before).&amp;nbsp;On your cell phone, make sure you de-activate the text message preview option from your display &lt;span style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;(*)&lt;/span&gt;. I did that a few months ago when I received my&amp;nbsp;iPhone (the previous phone I had didn't have that feature). But I believe that, by default on the iPhone, text messages received will show with a short preview of the content. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You do not want your spouse or mother-in-law to read "I'm going to fuck you soon", because you left your phone on the table, on that day, for everyone to see!!!!!&amp;nbsp;Recently, the boyfriend took my phone to check what time it was. I was glad that it showed I had received a text from a friend, but that its content wasn't displayed. No questions asked, crisis avoided. Phew!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(*) For the iPhone: go under Settings, then select Messages. First option is Show preview&amp;nbsp;- switch it to off. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4322801126401788633-378866932160874887?l=theworldbegins.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://theworldbegins.blogspot.com/feeds/378866932160874887/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://theworldbegins.blogspot.com/2011/08/commenting-and-texting.html#comment-form' title='16 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4322801126401788633/posts/default/378866932160874887'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4322801126401788633/posts/default/378866932160874887'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://theworldbegins.blogspot.com/2011/08/commenting-and-texting.html' title='Commenting and texting'/><author><name>France</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13015208689942511974</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-z0wfj-NaVCY/Tw0Gx6Aa8_I/AAAAAAAAAbU/gZNqn5KOQyo/s1600/photo%25252525202-1.JPG'/></author><thr:total>16</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4322801126401788633.post-1210747771302865288</id><published>2011-08-01T17:48:00.002-04:00</published><updated>2011-08-01T17:48:00.072-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='sex'/><title type='text'>Upstairs</title><content type='html'>&lt;div&gt;You broke the kiss and whispered in my ear&amp;nbsp;to show you upstairs. Regaining some composure, I took your hand and led the way. As soon as we reached the top floor, you stopped me with a tug. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And kissed me again. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I held onto the railing while your hands pulled me into you. We shed a few pieces of clothing and kissed more urgently. Lips were bitten, tongues sucked, bodies pressed against one another. You took my hand and placed it on your cock, still covered by your boxer briefs. In response and for fairness' sake, I took your hand and placed it on my pussy, still covered by my panties. The growing bulge in your briefs made me want more than just touching though. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I crouched down in front of you, trapped between you and the balustrade. I pulled your briefs down to your thighs, releasing your cock in front of my face.&amp;nbsp; It was now heavy and hard, hot to the touch, pulsing in my hand. I looked at you and you didn't flinch, but when I licked the head, your mouth opened a bit, as if releasing a moan that didn't quite make it through. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I needed more though. I love a firm masculine touch, so I took your hands in mine while your cock was still in my mouth and placed your hands on my head. The non-verbal clue was well received.

I can't seem to find a look I really like! I am feeling very girly these days, so I thought I'd change it up a bit. I'm not sure, but it's a bit too much pink, no? LOL&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's hard to believe that it's the middle of summer already! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While an &lt;a href="http://theworldbegins.blogspot.com/2011/05/dating-with-twist-of-romance-and.html"&gt;earlier post&lt;/a&gt; showed&amp;nbsp;that I seemed happy with the boyfriend,&amp;nbsp;I know that I shouldn't believe that what&amp;nbsp;I have is so special.&amp;nbsp;You see,&amp;nbsp;I don't think I can be that lucky to meet a man&amp;nbsp;that is right for me this early on.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've seen blog posts from women who have all the troubles in the world finding a decent man. These women are (no doubt) very classy and stylish, cute, hot, financially independant, etc. Why do they have problems when I seem to find someone so easily? This is where I doubt myself. I know I shouldn't compare myself to others, but I do. Am I too easily convinced, having low criteria, etc.?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For a while, I doubted him.&amp;nbsp;Although I would doubt any man in general (considering what I've done), I&amp;nbsp;did&amp;nbsp;what I said I would, which is to expect nothing and just&amp;nbsp;enjoy my summer. He doesn't know what I've done in the past&amp;nbsp;and I don't&amp;nbsp;want him to find out. Maybe he has done stuff in the past that I don't want to find out!&amp;nbsp; But slowly, those doubts vanished and I was able to let loose a little. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then it is mid-summer and where do I stand? We are still together, going on 5 months. I've been so busy that&amp;nbsp;there are times I wish I were single.&amp;nbsp;One of the reasons I separated from my husband was the absence of intimacy and sex. Now,&amp;nbsp;I don't have to beg for sex or fight for it. So far so good. I should be happy, right? Right.&amp;nbsp;And I am happy. He's a great guy, we have&amp;nbsp;a lot in common and fun together. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sexually, things are good. But he has a few things to learn about the female body and mostly, about yours truly. For example, he struggles with the word "harder" (he must think I'm some sort of freak). But he is a willing student and sometimes asks what I want more or less of. I saw him blush the other day when I mentioned something about spanking my ass with his whip (which made me smile, because seriously, who'd think that I could make a man blush? lol). He isn't running away though. Why would he, after all? Isn't&amp;nbsp;this what every man desire,&amp;nbsp;a freak in the bedroom? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The other day, I realized that my sexual happiness is strongly tied to the notion of "giving".&amp;nbsp;As in: giving the other your best,&amp;nbsp;giving yourself for pleasure, making the other feel desired and wanted, etc. Not sure how I can explain that without sounding like a complaining bitch, but here goes. We were lying in bed after sex and I didn't get to cum. Yes, he knew I didn't.&amp;nbsp;Sometimes it happens and&amp;nbsp;honestly, I don't really have a problem with that, because I enjoy the exercise and the intimacy and I get pleasure out of it.&amp;nbsp;It's the first time in quite a while that this happened actually (I'm thinking the heat might have been a factor in this, now and back then).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But as we were drifting to sleep, I started to cry, quietly.&amp;nbsp;That threw me off&amp;nbsp;because I had no clue why I was like that! True, I could have asked for some finger action to finish me up, but that would have taken forever and I just wanted to sleep at that time (even I have problems bringing myself to orgasm with only my fingers). So I laid there, wondering what was wrong with me. After some thinking,&amp;nbsp;I knew why we (I) need a lover. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Because most lovers are givers. We give without being asked because we know what it's like to starve and crave.&amp;nbsp;We want to please for our own pride and satisfaction (among other things). I'm not saying that spouses aren't givers and I'm not saying that spouses are lousy lovers, just like&amp;nbsp;I'm not saying that lovers are naturally good at it either&amp;nbsp;- I know I lack in certain areas and I make&amp;nbsp;up for it in&amp;nbsp;others.&amp;nbsp;But, for example, my lover wouldn't let me fall asleep without at least trying to make me cum after he's had his own orgasm (unless I had a few already by that time... but hey, why not a 4th one?!).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was emotional because I was&amp;nbsp;wishing for my lover at that very moment and&amp;nbsp;a huge "missing feeling" was washing over me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Otherwise, everything is going better than I thought. Class starts in September and I'm feeling very teacher-like with the boyfriend. ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(must be the pencil skirt and glasses I'm wearing today!)&lt;br

I am not sure how much I'll be talking about here - I haven't done any naughty pics for a HNT and haven't had any adventures. What else can I tell you? A trip report without sex stories would probably be boring to most of you. ;) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I come back from it without&amp;nbsp;regrets though. It was more expensive than I thought (but you have to live life &lt;em&gt;now&lt;/em&gt;, not in the future)... however it doesn't take away the memories of what I've seen, the sensations I felt - &amp;nbsp;from walking on roads where horses ran or touching stone walls that contain secret passages. I come back with a different perspective on life and mostly, my/our lifestyle. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This TMI is about regrets though... I regret that I don't have the time to keep up with your posts, even though I am slowly making my way there. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1. What was the last thing you regret buying? &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;I&amp;nbsp;can't think of anything short term. I remember buying a pair of shoes that was cheap and it turned out they were uncomfortable (I did try them on). I still have them, they make my legs look awesome!! I just don't wear them for more than 5 minutes, lol.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2. What was the last sex toy you regret buying? &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;The last toy I bought... I don't regret buying, at all. ;) However, I did buy a dual purpose toy that didn't do much for me. It was a clit and&amp;nbsp;g-spot stimulator... it was just too much of a malleable toy. I prefer much harder/rougher&amp;nbsp;toys (and men, yes). &amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;3. Briefly describe a time that you had sex, and you should not have. Why did you do it? &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;When I was about 20... it was a lousy one night stand. I was very inexperienced back then and so was he. Why do it? Very good question. I&amp;nbsp;had too much to drink, I thought I liked him and we ended up at his place. I don't recall much from that evening. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;4. If you could choose to stay a certain age forever, what age would it be? &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;The age I am at now. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;5. A good friend’s significant other flirts with you; would you tell your good friend?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; &lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;No; if it's just flirting, it doesn't mean anything, right? ;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;6. What is your greatest professional regret?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;em&gt;(For example: Promotions you did not accept; Internship opportunities you did not pursue; Inventions/ideas you did not share.)&amp;nbsp; &lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;I don't have any professional regrets. Perhaps I should have finished university, but I am not sure how that would translate to today. I love the job I have now.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bonus&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;: &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;What is your biggest regret?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;No&amp;nbsp;huge regrets. What I did, what I experienced, the choices I made&amp;nbsp;- they're all a part of me. Even if some experiences were sad/bad/hard/troubling, they made me emotionally stronger (once getting over the pain/sadness/grief/etc.). &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;————-&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How to play TMI Tuesday:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; Copy the above &lt;a href="http://tmituesdayblog.wordpress.com/2011/07/18/"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #0066cc;"&gt;TMI Tuesday&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; questions to your webspace (i.e., a blog).

I want to be seduced (every woman wants that), but I also think men love to be seduced (not just sexually). One or the other sounds good to me. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;9) If you had a chance to be with a man half your age, would you? &lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;No. I prefer men who are&amp;nbsp;a bit older than me or just a bit younger, but not by too much.&amp;nbsp;Not that young men are uninteresting,&amp;nbsp;it's just that I'll naturally go towards my own age. I don't see why I'd want to get into anything serious with a young guy... I think the real question must be "a chance to be with" as in a one-night?! Silly me. :)&amp;nbsp;Just don't present me his dad at the same time... I'll choose the hot dad. ;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;10) Ever thought of going to a sex club or sex party? Would you if your partner wanted to? &lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;I've wanted to do that for years, mostly to observe at first and see how I react to the experience, ie not go in with any pressure of performing or doing anything. With&amp;nbsp;the boyfriend&amp;nbsp;(SG2), I am not sure I want to 1) tell him I'm curious about&amp;nbsp;that, this early on, and 2) not sure how I'd react to him admitting that he wants to go (although it seems doubtful... I think I am the pervert in this relationship!). I'd probably be surprised at first, but would go with enthusiasm. :) &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;11) You say you're more of a voyeur, have you ever spied on anyone? If so how was the experience?&lt;em&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;No. At least not sexually. I've looked into houses, walking down the street and seeing open curtains.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;12) Which is more satisfying, vaginal or clitoral orgasm? &lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;Clitoral. I love both kinds, but like a majority of women, I orgasm more easily via clit stimulation. When I want relief or just a fast one, a clitoral (usually self induced) orgasm is my go-to.&amp;nbsp;I associate a vaginal orgasm (or combined with clitoral stimulation) to intercourse with a partner. Both are satisfying, but in different contexts.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;13) If someone you'd never met wrote a sexual fantasy of you, would you be flattered or upset? &lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;It happened in the past and I've always been flattered and touched (and excited!). My email address is in my profile. *grins* &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;14) What are your thoughts on anal play, both giving and receiving? &lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;It's on my bucket list for receiving. As for giving,&amp;nbsp;it depends on my partner, if he wants to receive or not (with some sort of toy I guess). I would need directions though, just so I am doing it right. Unlike men, I listen to directions. :p&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4322801126401788633-3835485882838584358?l=theworldbegins.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://theworldbegins.blogspot.com/feeds/3835485882838584358/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://theworldbegins.blogspot.com/2011/07/some-questions-answered-part-2.html#comment-form' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4322801126401788633/posts/default/3835485882838584358'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4322801126401788633/posts/default/3835485882838584358'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://theworldbegins.blogspot.com/2011/07/some-questions-answered-part-2.html' title='Some questions answered (part 2)'/><author><name>France</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13015208689942511974</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-z0wfj-NaVCY/Tw0Gx6Aa8_I/AAAAAAAAAbU/gZNqn5KOQyo/s1600/photo%25252525202-1.JPG'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4322801126401788633.post-8533418017838685317</id><published>2011-07-10T14:03:00.031-04:00</published><updated>2011-07-10T14:03:00.426-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='personal'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='community'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='being a woman'/><title type='text'>Adventure in colposcopy</title><content type='html'>&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;Note: I am not a doctor and I do not intend to give any medical meaning/significance to this post. This is merely a&amp;nbsp;personal log of my &lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colposcopy"&gt;&lt;em&gt;colposcopy&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt; appointment and experience. Why? Because if you are like me, you have Googled the term after it was recommended by your doctor and you have read lots of stuff on it; sometimes scary, sometimes technical. Obviously, this post is&amp;nbsp;more suited&amp;nbsp;for women.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even though I don't have a family doctor (for&amp;nbsp;a number of&amp;nbsp;reasons), I visit my walk-in clinic every year to get tested for STIs and also to get a Pap smear test. In the past, I have had a few abnormal cells showing in my results. They were noted in my medical file and I was often recommended to come back for another Pap test 6 months after (instead of the usual yearly one). That&amp;nbsp;follow-up test that always came back normal.&amp;nbsp;To tell you the truth,&amp;nbsp;I assume they came back normal because I never got a call back.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I&amp;nbsp;want to say though, for me and anyone else, man or woman: don't wait for a clinic to call you on your tests results. Call after 2 weeks (or the time they say it takes to get results back) to&amp;nbsp;make sure your results are negative. It's best to be annoying and persistent than sorry later on because some clerk forgot to call a patient.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Recently, I went to get my STI testing and Pap test done. New relationship and new everything, so I wanted to start on a clean page. I carry on with life and 2 weeks after, I have a voice mail saying that the doctor wanted to see me for my results. Every woman's heart is sinking when they hear that. It wasn't the first time I was hearing it, but it was still the same reaction. You immediately think the worse&amp;nbsp;is waiting for you.&amp;nbsp;Luckily enough, the clinic is within walking distance from my house, so I went. The alternative of waiting until the next business day, leaving me worried and stressed, isn't an option when it comes to yours truly.&amp;nbsp;Within 5 minutes, I was sitting in the exam room and sure enough, it was abnormal cells once again, although this time, it was in the high-grade category and the cytology lab &lt;em&gt;recommended&lt;/em&gt; (love the choice of words) a colposcopy to look further into it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The appointment, which surprisingly was scheduled just a few weeks after at a local hospital, went well.&amp;nbsp;I get there, worried that my periods are going to start at that moment (and I had called previously&amp;nbsp;to&amp;nbsp;ask if they would do it during periods, which they said yes they would do). I wait for registration, wait to get into the waiting room (you have to wait to wait...), undress from the waist down to slip into the very fashionable hospital gown and wait my turn for the doctor to call me in.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They know we are stressed, especially the newbies like me.&amp;nbsp;But they are all smiles and attentive to everything, very professional (which is what you would and should expect). No men in this place - doctors and nurses, volunteers and staff are all women. Love it. I am observing the woman who's just before me and I can see she is nervous, she has the same&amp;nbsp;procedure than me. She goes in, comes out 10 minutes after, looking relieved. I tell myself it's not that bad.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I get called in a few minutes after. The nurse takes my purse and asks me to sit on the table. The doctor comes in, very cool... she makes small talk, notices my French accent, starts to speak French to me. I relax while she asks questions such as when my last periods were, if I plan on having kids, if I'm married, if I had the exam before, my Pap test history, birth control, etc.&amp;nbsp; I'm asked to lay on the table and put my feet in the stirrups for the exam to begin. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then comes the "cool" stuff (as cool as it can be, feet in stirrups, right?). The colposcope is/has a powerful camera that is transmitting the internal exam on TV for my enjoyment.&amp;nbsp; I thought that was pretty cool. She explains everything she is doing, which is like a Pap test&amp;nbsp;- speculum to spread vaginal walls, a few swabs here and there and a visual observation. She puts some vinegar solution on a cotton ball and dabs the cervix with it, then repeats a few more times. You can see all this on TV and also feel it internally, which isn't painful; it's just a weird sensation to see your insides being pushed against and feeling it at the same time. She then asked me why I was sent here, because she sees nothing suspect at all, no trace of cancer or anything wrong. Apparently the vinegar solution is supposed to turn to&amp;nbsp;white any suspicious cells that need to be analyzed or looked further into. Nothing turns white in my case, yay.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She proceeds to the biopsy part regardless, which is a bit painful, but as she explains, it's like menstrual cramps (and she's right). The only difference is that you see your menstrual cramps on TV!&amp;nbsp;I felt my insides being pulled and tugged on (probably from cutting off a small piece of cervix for the biopsy). When I looked back on the screen,&amp;nbsp;there was a bit of bleeding&amp;nbsp;(actually it looked like it was gushing, but that's just the girly girl in me exaggerating stuff), but no pain. I was given a pad in case there would be some bleeding during the day. I was told to abstain from any sexual activity for 72 hours or until the bleeding stopped, whichever came first.&amp;nbsp;Even after 3 days, take it easy, as&amp;nbsp;there could be some discomfort and bleeding. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then you are sent on your way home. It's a 15-minute exam that is relatively painless. I booked an appointment to get the results after my vacation, but I don't want to be concerned for now.&amp;nbsp;Just a few points...&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;A colposcopy does not mean you have cervical cancer. It is a preventive exam to diagnose why you have abnormal cells.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Each woman should get a Pap test every 3 years (to start with;&amp;nbsp;sexually active or not)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Don't wait for lab results (either for your Pap test, blood/STI testing), be persistent and ask for them&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Log your periods and know your gynaecological history&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;div&gt;I hope this helps anyone who happens to read this, especially if you are worried or wondering what the exam is like. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4322801126401788633-8533418017838685317?l=theworldbegins.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://theworldbegins.blogspot.com/feeds/8533418017838685317/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://theworldbegins.blogspot.com/2011/07/adventure-in-colposcopy.html#comment-form' title='5 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4322801126401788633/posts/default/8533418017838685317'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4322801126401788633/posts/default/8533418017838685317'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://theworldbegins.blogspot.com/2011/07/adventure-in-colposcopy.html' title='Adventure in colposcopy'/><author><name>France</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13015208689942511974</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-z0wfj-NaVCY/Tw0Gx6Aa8_I/AAAAAAAAAbU/gZNqn5KOQyo/s1600/photo%25252525202-1.JPG'/></author><thr:total>5</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4322801126401788633.post-8869713191741124050</id><published>2011-07-07T01:23:00.010-04:00</published><updated>2011-07-07T01:23:00.195-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='HNT'/><title type='text'>Offline ~ HNT</title><content type='html'>As you guys read this, I'm enjoying an espresso, a gelato on a side road or a nice Italian cooked meal with a glass of vino rosso. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'll miss catching up on your blogs (not that I need to be on vacations to be a bad blogger), keeping in touch with my friends or just goofing around on the internet.

One commenter left me with 21 questions (excellent and fun questions, I might add!).&amp;nbsp;Since this is a long weekend here and I'm going to be unavailable for a while in the upcoming month, I thought I would break my 21 answers into 3 different posts. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;1) Which do you prefer, oral or intercourse?&lt;em&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;Intercourse. For me, oral is great and fun, but I view it more as foreplay. Unless we both get/give oral without anything else, then it becomes intercourse?&amp;nbsp;I don't know. Seems that intercourse is more complete and satisfying... Only oral is&amp;nbsp;like having an appetizer and calling it a meal... Why just have a few bites when you can have a complete meal? OK, I really prefer intercourse then. What a funny question! :) &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2) How many times a day would you say you think about sex? &lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;75% of the time, maybe. Depends on the day. I can't put an exact number on it, but a lot makes me think about sex. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;3) What would it take for an admirer to see more of you? &lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;Another&amp;nbsp;funny question! Don't I post enough pics here? lol&amp;nbsp; ;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4) What is the sexiest part of a man? &lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;His hands. I must have a&amp;nbsp;hand fetish.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5) What would you refuse to do sexually? &lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;Inflict pain/torture, animals/kids, the basic shitty stuff that normal people don't do.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6) If you had to pick one encounter that stood out, what would it be?&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt; &lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;I will do a "politician type of response" here and try to redirect the question towards something completely unrelated, in hope that you will forget the question!!&amp;nbsp;Not working huh? Ok...&amp;nbsp;let's say that these encounters, with different persons at different times, all stood out at the time they happened and all impacted me one way or the other.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7) What would you love to see a man do that you think most men would be uncomfortable with? &lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;Kissing another man!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4322801126401788633-4668563284169051658?l=theworldbegins.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://theworldbegins.blogspot.com/feeds/4668563284169051658/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://theworldbegins.blogspot.com/2011/06/some-questions-answered-part-1.html#comment-form' title='6 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4322801126401788633/posts/default/4668563284169051658'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4322801126401788633/posts/default/4668563284169051658'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://theworldbegins.blogspot.com/2011/06/some-questions-answered-part-1.html' title='Some questions answered (part 1)'/><author><name>France</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13015208689942511974</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-z0wfj-NaVCY/Tw0Gx6Aa8_I/AAAAAAAAAbU/gZNqn5KOQyo/s1600/photo%25252525202-1.JPG'/></author><thr:total>6</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4322801126401788633.post-7333679646767375192</id><published>2011-06-26T18:00:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2011-06-26T18:00:41.386-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='community'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='music'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='helping others'/><title type='text'>Music to listen to (The Amends)</title><content type='html'>While I am preparing a few posts (naughty and nice)&amp;nbsp;and enjoying my summer (by this, I mean I am being lazy), I thought to give you something to listen to. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A guy in a band emailed a few bloggers, including me (I thought I was being hit on by a potential future rock star and already saw myself on the road with them, lol - just kidding - sorta) and asked to spread the word around so that my wonderful readers could learn about their band, &lt;a href="http://facebook.com/theamendsband"&gt;The Amends&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It takes guts to email strangers and ask them to help you out.&amp;nbsp;If&amp;nbsp;you guys read this&amp;nbsp;and become popular, don't forget me. *wink*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They sent me a bunch of links, but I think you can pretty much get everything from their &lt;a href="http://facebook.com/theamendsband"&gt;Facebook page&lt;/a&gt;.

How many countries? Yes, Oral counts! All sex acts– penetrative or not– are sex.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: purple;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;Does the nationality of the other person matters? I&amp;nbsp;guess not!&amp;nbsp;Then I would say 2 provinces within the same country. For now. ;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: purple;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;2. What do you think is the sexiest piece of clothing a man/women wears on a daily basis? e.g., bra, jeans, sundress, dress shirt, etc.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: purple;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;Jeans and a white shirt.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: purple;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;3.

Other than driving myself nuts&amp;nbsp;(I'm picky on certain things, I get annoyed at crumbs on the counter top,&amp;nbsp;at clothes left scattered everywhere, etc.), I think I'm a pretty cool&amp;nbsp;girl to be with.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: purple;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;4. Which muscle do you work the hardest: brain, heart, mouth?&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: purple;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;The brain, usually. I think a lot, probably too much. I'm undecisive about certain things, mostly when it comes to&amp;nbsp;relationships&amp;nbsp;or stuff to buy. But when I make a decision, my heart takes over. Not only in relationships, but in everything I do (sports, cooking, travelling, hobbies). &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: purple;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;5.

To me, this just seems to complete the connection.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What is a dark fantasy? Is it dark for some, grey for others, normal for the rest? Regardless of meaning, I would say that even though I would &lt;u&gt;never&lt;/u&gt; do something like this, I've always been fascinated by it. I've read about it in fantasy novels and it's part of every movies/tv shows vampire-related, and I'm sure some people practice this, but this is just a fantasy... I don't want any offers, ok? :)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;~~ * ~~&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you want to play, &lt;a href="http://tmituesdayblog.wordpress.com/"&gt;visit TMI Tuesday&lt;/a&gt;!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4322801126401788633-2976438070529963966?l=theworldbegins.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://theworldbegins.blogspot.com/feeds/2976438070529963966/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://theworldbegins.blogspot.com/2011/06/tmi-tuesday-june-21-2011-summer.html#comment-form' title='9 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4322801126401788633/posts/default/2976438070529963966'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4322801126401788633/posts/default/2976438070529963966'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://theworldbegins.blogspot.com/2011/06/tmi-tuesday-june-21-2011-summer.html' title='TMI Tuesday (June 21, 2011 -

If we could&amp;nbsp;accumulate road miles the way we do for air miles, I'd be having a private chauffeur right now!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But I need a distraction and this seems better than nothing (and fun too)!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.thedaisyapproach.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i285.photobucket.com/albums/ll72/mommy_2_three/DSC_00712.jpg" style="height: 181px; width: 175px;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;1. Sex in a cemetery or a Walmart bathroom? &lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;Both are weird, if you ask me. I'd rather abstain!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;2. Are you a voyeur or exhibitionist?&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;More voyeur than anything else. I don't like to be stared at, although one-on-one staring is okay.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;3. Do you take dirty/sexy pictures of yourself with your cell? &lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;Oh yes!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;4. If you were a hooker/pimp what would your name be? &lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;Hooker: Candi - Pimp: Candi. LOL&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;5. and how much would you charge? &lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;A lot, probably ridiculous amounts of money to make you consider that perhaps you don't need this to get sex? Just saying. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;6. How long should foreplay last? &lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;If both are honest about liking foreplay - for real, not because it's an obligation - than foreplay could last hours or days. Like emails/texts between lovers... those&amp;nbsp;I used to consider foreplay.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;7. do you own any butt plugs? &lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;No.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;8. Hotel Sex with the curtains open? Ever done it? &lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;Sure. Did it, but only during the daytime. Would I do it at night? Why not!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;9. Sex at the in-laws or parents of who you are dating? &lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;Never.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;10. Feathers or Whips? &lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;Never tried any, but it's on my list.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;11. Would you let your partner shave you? &lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;No, I can do it faster. I don't see the appeal of it and I'd rather spend this time doing something else!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;12. Where is your favorite place to have sex?&amp;nbsp; &lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;I love the comfort and space of/on a bed. Not that I don't like other places, but a bed is a favorite since we can just collapse and snuggle together right after.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;13. Do you remember your first time?&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;Yes. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;14. Where was your first time and how was the sex? &lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;It&amp;nbsp;is&amp;nbsp;nothing worth talking about. At his apartment, between classes, and it was pretty ordinary.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;15. role play for a minute? who would you be? &lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;If only for a minute, I'd be a crazy bitch&amp;nbsp;dominatrix with a whimpering man at my feet.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;16. sex in front of a mirror? &lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;Yes!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;17. A song that makes you think of sex. &lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;Closer, NIN.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;18. Are you horny right now? &lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;No. What a shocker.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;19. What is your favorite body part on yourself and do you show it off?&amp;nbsp; &lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;My hips or my bum. I don't dress in too loose clothes, that's how I show them off I guess.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;20. Edible panties?

Like most single women, I've had some weird dates and disappointments. Overall though, I enjoy it&amp;nbsp;(for now anyway).&amp;nbsp;I thought I would be bored, sitting in front of the tv and eating my emotions (I still tend to do that, unfortunately), wondering why nobody wants me, then blogging about why nobody wants me. But I got off my ass, joined 2 websites for singles and&amp;nbsp;a website to socially meet people with common interests. Those who know me know that I don't do social. I mean, I get along with most people and will end up having&amp;nbsp;fun, but I'm naturally shy and don't like to be the center of attention. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Most evenings were spent either meeting someone new (which ended up to no good), seeing SG2 over and over,&amp;nbsp;doing activities with friends (old and new) and finding new sports to enjoy. My trip to Italy is in less than 2 months (holy sh*t!) and I'm looking forward to that.&amp;nbsp;I'm surprised I haven't started packing yet (you all know that a woman can take weeks before she can finally decide on a wardrobe!).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I read Daisygirl's &lt;a href="http://www.thedaisyapproach.com/2011/05/dating-2011-sex-is-just-sex.html"&gt;post&lt;/a&gt; on dating and sex. I agree with her: sex is consumed very rapidly, unfortunately. Where's the courting, the endless flirting, makeout sessions on the couch or at the car, getting to know each other, etc? When I started dating, I wanted all of that and&amp;nbsp;there was no way I would meet a man and have sex with him on the first dates. No offense to those who don't mind, but I'm not looking for something meaningless (even while cheating, I never wanted meaningless sex anyways). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But I'm either incredibly lucky, really naive or a little bit of both, with&amp;nbsp;a twist of romance and persistence! SG2 showed up on our 3rd date with flowers... I know it's nothing to write about, but&amp;nbsp;it was unexpected and I was touched. He cooked for me on my birthday.&amp;nbsp;On&amp;nbsp;our 6th&amp;nbsp;date, we went for a &lt;em&gt;real&lt;/em&gt; kiss (yes, 6 dates for a real kiss!). It wasn't earth shattering, but it was great. We were at a train station, standing under a light drizzle. I was feeling cold, so I stepped closer to him and we just kissed while we waited for the train to arrive.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do I &lt;em&gt;want&lt;/em&gt; earth shattering? Perhaps. Who doesn't?&amp;nbsp;Do I &lt;em&gt;need&lt;/em&gt; it? No.&amp;nbsp;That kiss wasn't one that said "I want to get my fingers in your panties and then fuck you hard bent over a hotel desk". It was&amp;nbsp;a "I&amp;nbsp;want to kiss you because I like being with you" kinda kiss. And I loved it the way it was. He might have had other thoughts (I might have too!) during the first few dates, but why rush it? He asked me if we were moving too fast, but in my opinion, everything occured naturally. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We have plans for the summer, from barbecuing together to visiting Montreal, meeting his friends and mine, families as well.&amp;nbsp;I&amp;nbsp;am&amp;nbsp;working&amp;nbsp;on&amp;nbsp;some trust issues that I've told him about, and&amp;nbsp;he has been understanding. I'm emotionally available, but guarded. My pessimistic&amp;nbsp;self is telling me there's a disappointment waiting to happen, but my optimistic self is telling me to just breathe and have more faith. The latter usually rises above, thank god for that!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I have no expectations... only to have a nice summer with my boyfriend and breathe.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4322801126401788633-468128021191048553?l=theworldbegins.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://theworldbegins.blogspot.com/feeds/468128021191048553/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://theworldbegins.blogspot.com/2011/05/dating-with-twist-of-romance-and.html#comment-form' title='16 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4322801126401788633/posts/default/468128021191048553'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4322801126401788633/posts/default/468128021191048553'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://theworldbegins.blogspot.com/2011/05/dating-with-twist-of-romance-and.html' title='Dating, with a twist of romance and persistence'/><author><name>France</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13015208689942511974</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-z0wfj-NaVCY/Tw0Gx6Aa8_I/AAAAAAAAAbU/gZNqn5KOQyo/s1600/photo%25252525202-1.JPG'/></author><thr:total>16</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4322801126401788633.post-2277675715230439657</id><published>2011-05-21T14:15:00.039-04:00</published><updated>2011-05-21T14:15:00.224-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='SG2'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='a dash of happy'/><title type='text'>Snuggles on a rainy morning (a dash of happy)</title><content type='html'>One Sunday morning, I&amp;nbsp;woke up to the sound of the rain falling.&lt;br /&gt;SG2 was next to me. &lt;br /&gt;We shrugged it off, snuggled and&amp;nbsp;went&amp;nbsp;back to sleep.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-3h_REzN7MW8/TYlSHqAB7QI/AAAAAAAAAMg/7xnCXHEvum4/s1600/imagesCAQ3BCDK.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="133" r6="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-3h_REzN7MW8/TYlSHqAB7QI/AAAAAAAAAMg/7xnCXHEvum4/s200/imagesCAQ3BCDK.jpg" width="200" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4322801126401788633-2277675715230439657?l=theworldbegins.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://theworldbegins.blogspot.com/feeds/2277675715230439657/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://theworldbegins.blogspot.com/2011/05/snuggles-on-rainy-morning-dash-of-happy.html#comment-form' title='5 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4322801126401788633/posts/default/2277675715230439657'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4322801126401788633/posts/default/2277675715230439657'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://theworldbegins.blogspot.com/2011/05/snuggles-on-rainy-morning-dash-of-happy.html' title='Snuggles on a rainy morning (a dash of happy)'/><author><name>France</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13015208689942511974</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-z0wfj-NaVCY/Tw0Gx6Aa8_I/AAAAAAAAAbU/gZNqn5KOQyo/s1600/photo%25252525202-1.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-3h_REzN7MW8/TYlSHqAB7QI/AAAAAAAAAMg/7xnCXHEvum4/s72-c/imagesCAQ3BCDK.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>5</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4322801126401788633.post-5124247271883498465</id><published>2011-05-20T01:21:00.027-04:00</published><updated>2011-05-20T01:21:00.565-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Flash Fiction Friday'/><title type='text'>Fresh blood (Flash Fiction Friday)</title><content type='html'>&lt;div&gt;They played games every Friday night for&amp;nbsp;their chance.&amp;nbsp;Most of the players were locals. Bored businessmen, who more than likely&amp;nbsp;needed an extra kink in&amp;nbsp;their otherwise dull existences. Mysteriously, once they had&amp;nbsp;won, they never returned for another shot.

font-size: 10.5pt;"&gt;Then he laughed and said, no puck is getting into this net tonight – prepare to receive your punishment.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;And then he slapped my ass with his big stick.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;It was painful and my head hit the window.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;I was unconscious for how long I don’t know?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 12pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Georgia&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 10.5pt;"&gt;When I woke up I was in a long dark hallway.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;There were corridors leading away from the hallway with numbers 103, 105, 107, etc. and funny C’s on top.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;I was groggy but becoming cognizant.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Finally I realized, I was in the &lt;place w:st="on"&gt;&lt;city w:st="on"&gt;Bell&lt;/city&gt;&lt;/place&gt; Centre.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 12pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Georgia&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 10.5pt;"&gt;Then I heard a horrible laugh, it was him, Luongo, and now he was running for me.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;I frantically started to flee down aisle 109.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;I was running through fog now but he was catching up.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Just as he was reaching for me a big husky guy in a white and red sweater checked him hard!&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Luongo went to the ground – out cold.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;But who was my hero?&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;In my fright I was awake now but in the fog I had lost my hero.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 12pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Georgia&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 10.5pt;"&gt;As I looked up the fog began to disperse.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;And then, as if the heavens were opening up, a light from above shown down like angels descending to earth.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 12pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Georgia&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 10.5pt;"&gt;It was then that I saw the most wonderful site these French eyes have ever seen.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;It was Mon Monsieur Michael Cammalleri!&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Yes it was Cammalleri who had been my hero, my cavalier of the ice, the conqueror of Luongo the Giant.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;He was lying on a futon on the middle of the ice in his Habs top but nothing else (oh my)!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 12pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Georgia&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 10.5pt;"&gt;He called to me “ma chérie, c’est moi Michael – tu es mon amour, mon Coeur est&amp;nbsp;a toi. &lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;Fais l’amour avec moi immédiatement!”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 12pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Georgia&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 10.5pt;"&gt;I went to him and we made love at center ice.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;The heat of our bodies moving together melted that ice and created a fog that cloaked our bodies in that passion.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;This was complete; he made love to me with his eyes, his body, and his soul.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;We were one as if our sweat was now refreezing and fusing our bodies and mind together as one being.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 12pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;Georgia&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 10.5pt;"&gt;He said “Ma chère France, it is you I have journeyed to be with, come with me and we will live in passion in my lighthouse in Nova Scotia and we will love forever and make little Canadians ‘til death do us part.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 12pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #333333;

[breath in, breath out]. This happened in my town, a very metropolitan city.&amp;nbsp;I was pissed at that comment, just like everyone else has been. &lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Recently, &lt;a href="http://pleasure-principle-hedone.blogspot.com/2011/04/sluts-of-world-unite.html"&gt;Hedone&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;posted on this topic&amp;nbsp;&amp;amp; the&amp;nbsp;"SlutWalk" events&amp;nbsp;throughout N.A.&amp;nbsp;Having been a victim of sexual assault, I am touched by this topic. I don't consider myself a slut because I love to wear high heels and a skirt to feel sexy. I don't consider myself part of the BDSM community because I like it a little rough or like to be submissive occasionally. This can be applied to all sexualities, from vanilla to hardcore.&amp;nbsp;I&amp;nbsp;am&amp;nbsp;just a woman who loves sex&amp;nbsp;and wants to feel sexy. That does not mean I implicitely consent to sex. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I wish we could educate young boys during sex ed class (assuming sex ed is still on the curriculum?) about the term "consent". With respect to&amp;nbsp;my own experience, I was blamed for being&amp;nbsp;"too damned sexy"&amp;nbsp;-- yes, I agree with you,&amp;nbsp;why the fuck is this my fault?&amp;nbsp;I blamed him for being unable to keep his cock in his pants.&amp;nbsp;He was joking, I wasn't.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Society still thinks that&amp;nbsp;women&amp;nbsp;carry&amp;nbsp;responsibility for being sexually assaulted,&amp;nbsp;too often and very easily. But what about "don't rape or assume consent": isn't this what we&amp;nbsp;should expect from men?&amp;nbsp;When will it&amp;nbsp;be the man's fault or responsibility? &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I dress normal/casual most of the time -&amp;nbsp;nothing says "slut" about me. But&amp;nbsp;I love sex, I love men and consider myself a bit slutty when I want to be.&amp;nbsp;I won't change and have no desire to! However, that doesn't give men any right to come and take what I am not willing to give freely:&amp;nbsp;consent. Period.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;For more info, &lt;a href="http://www.slutwalktoronto.com/"&gt;http://www.slutwalktoronto.com/&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;is a good starting point.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;~~ * ~~&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;A while back, &lt;a href="http://insatiabear.blogspot.com/"&gt;PB&lt;/a&gt; sent me a link to an article/essay/post on the word &lt;em&gt;slut&lt;/em&gt;.&amp;nbsp;I enjoy reading it from time to time. This is from the article itself and represents one of my favorite passage:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;"Slut" is for kissing boys with tongue. "Slut" is for kissing lots of different boys with tongue. "Slut" is for craving kissing lots of different boys with tongue. That's not right, you know. It says so in the Bible, and in social hygiene films. "Slut" is for loving sex. "Slut" is for needing sex. "Slut" is for thinking sex isn't shameful. Sex is for married people, for diamond owners, for nice girls in twin sets whose mothers hid the Erica Jong, for people totally and completely, like, in total and complete love, and it takes place behind closed doors, with the lights out. Sex isn't fun. Sex isn't casual. Sex is a deadly serious, disgusting, dirty, degrading business. Just lie there. Don't move around. Don't use your fingernails or moan or anything; that's slutty. Don't get on top. Don't go down. Going down is &lt;em&gt;really&lt;/em&gt; slutty, especially if you like it as much as he does. Ew. That's so gross. Only a slut would like that. That's so sickening. I bet you masturbate, too. Ew, I can't even think about that. That's so foul — touching yourself down there like that? That's — well, it's dirty and sticky and gross, dude! Nobody does that. Well, boys do, but that's different.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div&gt;I would add the following: "slut" is for kissing boys &lt;em&gt;&amp;amp; girls&lt;/em&gt; with tongue.&amp;nbsp;Yes, that is me being really slutty. ;)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;You can view the complete post&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://tomatonation.com/culture-and-criticism/a-four-letter-word/"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4322801126401788633-6987925272963527575?l=theworldbegins.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://theworldbegins.blogspot.com/feeds/6987925272963527575/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://theworldbegins.blogspot.com/2011/05/slutty-world.html#comment-form' title='7 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4322801126401788633/posts/default/6987925272963527575'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4322801126401788633/posts/default/6987925272963527575'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://theworldbegins.blogspot.com/2011/05/slutty-world.html' title='A slutty world'/><author><name>France</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13015208689942511974</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-z0wfj-NaVCY/Tw0Gx6Aa8_I/AAAAAAAAAbU/gZNqn5KOQyo/s1600/photo%25252525202-1.JPG'/></author><thr:total>7</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4322801126401788633.post-1233738756720685403</id><published>2011-05-14T14:05:00.004-04:00</published><updated>2011-05-14T14:05:00.383-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='a dash of happy'/><title type='text'>Followers (a dash of happy)</title><content type='html'>&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;A little note on the side to begin with: I am annoyed that some of the comments I left are not showing on recent previous posts. I'm not sure if I should re-comment or just leave it at that!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I truly&amp;nbsp;adore each and everyone of you. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some might argue that a follower can't be a friend, but I disagree.&amp;nbsp;Some might argue that a follower's opinion shouldn't&amp;nbsp;influence my own so much. That's true, but just like anything, you take some and you leave some. We all have experiences and acquired some knowledge along the way. Being able to share it, to give some comfort, some thoughts (good or bad), make a joke, poke fun, give your own opinion (which might differs from mine, and it's okay) ... it's always appreciated. Because an opinion, a good word, a hug, a joke... whether it's online (via email or a comment)&amp;nbsp;or in person, it's as valid as anything else.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sometimes, it's all a girl needs. :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-3h_REzN7MW8/TYlSHqAB7QI/AAAAAAAAAMg/7xnCXHEvum4/s1600/imagesCAQ3BCDK.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="133" r6="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-3h_REzN7MW8/TYlSHqAB7QI/AAAAAAAAAMg/7xnCXHEvum4/s200/imagesCAQ3BCDK.jpg" width="200" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4322801126401788633-1233738756720685403?l=theworldbegins.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://theworldbegins.blogspot.com/feeds/1233738756720685403/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://theworldbegins.blogspot.com/2011/05/followers-dash-of-happy.html#comment-form' title='7 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4322801126401788633/posts/default/1233738756720685403'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4322801126401788633/posts/default/1233738756720685403'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://theworldbegins.blogspot.com/2011/05/followers-dash-of-happy.html' title='Followers (a dash of happy)'/><author><name>France</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13015208689942511974</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-z0wfj-NaVCY/Tw0Gx6Aa8_I/AAAAAAAAAbU/gZNqn5KOQyo/s1600/photo%25252525202-1.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-3h_REzN7MW8/TYlSHqAB7QI/AAAAAAAAAMg/7xnCXHEvum4/s72-c/imagesCAQ3BCDK.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>7</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4322801126401788633.post-7116035361066179396</id><published>2011-05-13T16:51:00.001-04:00</published><updated>2011-05-15T18:06:15.410-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='thoughts'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='lyrics'/><title type='text'>Friday's thoughts</title><content type='html'>Nothing I like better than to sit in my favorite coffee shop on a Friday afternoon, especially now that Blogger is back up and running! Admit it, how many of you were impatiently waiting for its return? I was! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No FFF for me today. Blockage or too much&amp;nbsp;self-pressure, who knows, but I couldn't&amp;nbsp;write&amp;nbsp;60 words. Unless I use the babble I am writing right now to make up for it? Well technically I could, since the goal is to write a story&amp;nbsp;based on a picture and keywords to&amp;nbsp;inspire us. And it inspired me this, which is not much, for as&amp;nbsp;the length of time my&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;yellow&amp;nbsp;eyes blinked&lt;/em&gt;, the&amp;nbsp;"new post"&amp;nbsp;form remained empty!&amp;nbsp;See, I just wrote my FFF.&amp;nbsp;I'm sure you guys are really impressed now.&amp;nbsp;:)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My satellite radio often finds its way to the 80s and 90s and I love those glimpses back into my youth.&amp;nbsp;I love that song and&amp;nbsp;the&amp;nbsp;lyrics.&amp;nbsp;Hit play to the right!

There is a history behind this&amp;nbsp;- I'm glad for history and celebrations of all kinds! - but this isn't a history lesson... if you want to know more, google it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I thought of this title when I was pulling into a gas station to fill up (no sexual innuendo here, please!): self-service... you are doing yourself a favor when masturbating, so it makes sense. ;) If more people would masturbate, I'm sure we'd all be happier! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Unfortunately, some women still view masturbation as something dirty and shameful. I'm sure I don't have to list all the pros for masturbation, but here's why this works for me&amp;nbsp;as a woman (because it's all about me, isn't it?):&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Stress relief&lt;br /&gt;- Gets the blood flowing during periods, which hugely helps in reducing cramps&lt;br /&gt;- It's fun&lt;br /&gt;- There's no better way to learn about your body and what works for you&lt;br /&gt;- It's safe&lt;br /&gt;- It's fun (did I say that?)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I could go on and on about the benefits, but you get where I'm going. There's nothing wrong about masturbation and every woman should be&amp;nbsp;enjoying this act of intimacy with herself. I know I am! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This week's dash of happy is:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;~ Masturbating.

I received ONE submission and it is a good one that appeals to my womanly senses and to what I like the most. ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It feels like I haven't posted in a while. I was reminded of that today. Although the latest entry is just a few days old, it was written well before it was posted. The only real blogging work I've done is my Saturday dash of happy and Flash Fiction Friday. Not bad, but if it weren't for these, this blog would be a ghost town.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, all is well with me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Work is busy, but boring. I always feel like that during spring when it comes to my job. I love it, but nothing really challenging for now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The living arrangements with my ex are working well. We get along perfectly, we still go out sometimes together for a dinner or movie, he helps with chores, etc. He's had a girlfriend for a few months now and he seems happy with this, although I am keeping an eye on her. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've been&amp;nbsp;on dates (that you were able to read about; SG1-SG6), but for now I am&amp;nbsp;putting aside the "serial dating"&amp;nbsp;I was doing. There was SG4 that I met a second time for a lunch, but I couldn't feel "it". I was lame and gave him the same excuse that I was given from SG6 (ie "I feel there's something missing"). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I like what I'm probably developing with SG2. He's very down to earth, warm and open, emotionally available and we have tons in common. There are a few things that raise questions in my mind, but these mostly stem from my own insecurities. I also feel like I am holding back with him, and it is unintentional, but I noticed it.

I have 2 personal email addresses: one generic/short name and one with my full name (which is my regular normal emailing address). Yes, I gave my real personal email to a guy I never met, only because he never &lt;a href="http://theworldbegins.blogspot.com/2011/04/cocky-arrogance-and-another-creep.html"&gt;winked&lt;/a&gt; at the wrong places, lol.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;So, we emailed&amp;nbsp;back and forth&amp;nbsp;like crazy, talking about our 2 passions (golf and hockey),&amp;nbsp;about work,&amp;nbsp;hobbies&amp;nbsp;or just about nothing -&amp;nbsp;day or night, it didn't matter.&amp;nbsp;I&amp;nbsp;saw pics of him and I was a bit on the fence, but usually people look much better face to face, so I wasn't too concerned. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;We eventually decided to meet for drinks. I got there before him and,&amp;nbsp;I'm sure&amp;nbsp;women will understand this,&amp;nbsp;I&amp;nbsp;always prefer to be checking someone out than to be checked out. I&amp;nbsp;waited in the entrance for him to arrive. He was on time (love that) and I swear, when I saw him, I looked around&amp;nbsp;for the candid cameras to appear out of nowhere. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Why?&amp;nbsp;Wait just a second. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;We just said "hi, nice to finally meet you"&amp;nbsp;and I suggested we settle in the bar area. We sat down,&amp;nbsp;made small talk with the waiter and ordered beers.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Then, he starts speaking and does a complete sentence.&amp;nbsp;I'm thinking "ok, seriously, where are those darn cameras?". I am a bit in shock and I don't think anything he said within the first&amp;nbsp;few minutes really registered.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;He was a carbon copy of L. Other than for his&amp;nbsp;height/weight (less tall, more slim),&amp;nbsp;you would have told me he was his brother, I would have believed you. The voice, the eye color, the shaved head, the soul patch under the lower lip, the laugh, intonations, the way he said some words, ... you name it, he had it. (well, I haven't checked everything...)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;But I knew, when we parted, that it would be the first and last meet.&amp;nbsp;When a guy tells you "I'll be in touch", you kinda know, as I've used that line before!&amp;nbsp;I wasn't wrong... the next morning, he said&amp;nbsp;that he had a great time, that I was very attractive and pleasant to be with, but he thought something was missing. I told him he had to follow his feelings and&amp;nbsp;wished him good luck. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I think it's probably the best for me, given who he reminded me of! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4322801126401788633-4762379508741869352?l=theworldbegins.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://theworldbegins.blogspot.com/feeds/4762379508741869352/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://theworldbegins.blogspot.com/2011/05/meeting-sg6.html#comment-form' title='11 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4322801126401788633/posts/default/4762379508741869352'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4322801126401788633/posts/default/4762379508741869352'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://theworldbegins.blogspot.com/2011/05/meeting-sg6.html' title='Meeting SG6'/><author><name>France</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13015208689942511974</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-z0wfj-NaVCY/Tw0Gx6Aa8_I/AAAAAAAAAbU/gZNqn5KOQyo/s1600/photo%25252525202-1.JPG'/></author><thr:total>11</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4322801126401788633.post-1466146080834642375</id><published>2011-04-30T10:30:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2011-04-30T10:30:47.932-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='a dash of happy'/><title type='text'>Sweet words (a dash of happy)</title><content type='html'>I went to bed and&amp;nbsp;hoped to read someone's sweet words in the morning.&amp;nbsp;That puts a smile on my face for the day.&amp;nbsp; :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This week's dash of happy is:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;~ &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;Waking up to your sweet words...

I don't know how he managed that, since she was so conventional and uptight. He hadn't liked the idea at first, but&amp;nbsp;he desperately wanted to watch and, combined with my promise of not hurting her, I&amp;nbsp;had been able to convince him. Like most men, he was easy with the right "tactics" being employed. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And there she was,&amp;nbsp;ankles&amp;nbsp;bound to wrists, balancing&amp;nbsp;on the cold countertop. I saw the alarming and questioning look in her eyes when I came in, clad the way I was. She probably thought her husband would be back to fuck her the way he never could, simply because he wasn't allowed to. "That's the type of sex the sluts have". I was proud of my slut status at this very moment and smiled wickedly as I&amp;nbsp;met her blue eyes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She had no clue, but she was about to find out what this slutty brunette here&amp;nbsp;could do. She was about to get fucked hard and fast, the way her husband&amp;nbsp;and I&amp;nbsp;had, just previously, in the room across the mirror.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-lu3p6X4pZv4/TbVyV-lSgfI/AAAAAAAAAQw/CAgY4zQDWIs/s1600/untitled1bywillsantillo.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" i8="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-lu3p6X4pZv4/TbVyV-lSgfI/AAAAAAAAAQw/CAgY4zQDWIs/s320/untitled1bywillsantillo.jpg" width="233" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;(Source: Untitled image by &lt;a href="http://www.santillophotography.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #336699;"&gt;Will Santillo)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;~~ *&amp;nbsp;~~&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;This is totally new for me. For starters, I am not dominant.&amp;nbsp;Also, I never&amp;nbsp;wore a strap-on and have no desire to. Well, I think&amp;nbsp;that's what she's wearing!&amp;nbsp;I wanted to add some naughtiness, such as having his cum leaking out of me while I fucked her, or perhaps I convinced him to tie her up by giving him a blowjob and then I kissed her with&amp;nbsp;her husband's cum still lingering in my mouth, etc. But that added words to the story and I didn't feel like being spanked, for once! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;I have no vendetta against blondes or anyone's wife, so please don't be offended!&amp;nbsp;She looks like she's enjoying herself and maybe the character here&amp;nbsp;would. It's just when I saw the brunette and the blonde, it's the first thing that came to mind and I stuck with it.&amp;nbsp;Fine, I admit there's a touch of something personal going on here that sparked the idea, but that's about it!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;~~ * ~~&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Challenge was to write a flash fiction of 120-240 words&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;and use the words &lt;i&gt;"...hard and fast..."&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Check out Panser's lair for the list of other participants!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://insatiabear.blogspot.com/" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" n4="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_KF4rfWedM28/S6KxXgJSOQI/AAAAAAAAAzk/RhnEuNhm_Ko/s144/fff2.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center" class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;﻿&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4322801126401788633-6557002098284612482?l=theworldbegins.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://theworldbegins.blogspot.com/feeds/6557002098284612482/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://theworldbegins.blogspot.com/2011/04/wicked-brunette-flash-fiction-friday.html#comment-form' title='8 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4322801126401788633/posts/default/6557002098284612482'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4322801126401788633/posts/default/6557002098284612482'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://theworldbegins.blogspot.com/2011/04/wicked-brunette-flash-fiction-friday.html' title='Wicked brunette (Flash Fiction Friday)'/><author><name>France</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13015208689942511974</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-z0wfj-NaVCY/Tw0Gx6Aa8_I/AAAAAAAAAbU/gZNqn5KOQyo/s1600/photo%25252525202-1.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-lu3p6X4pZv4/TbVyV-lSgfI/AAAAAAAAAQw/CAgY4zQDWIs/s72-c/untitled1bywillsantillo.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>8</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4322801126401788633.post-4562385050912221792</id><published>2011-04-25T21:27:00.009-04:00</published><updated>2011-04-25T21:27:00.097-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='eHarmony'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='SG3'/><title type='text'>If you don't know what you want, get out of the way</title><content type='html'>&lt;div&gt;SG3 is&amp;nbsp;what serious people hate having to put up with: time wasters.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some of you, who are familiar with eharmony, know that you get through stages of communication with someone you've been matched with.&amp;nbsp;At one point during the communication process with SG3, going through the stages&amp;nbsp;and after 9 days of nothing, I decided to skip the last step and move directly to a personal message, asking him if all was well and if he still had&amp;nbsp;an interest in getting to know&amp;nbsp;me. His reply was that he had taken a few days off vacation and hasn't been checking his emails. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Okay, I am not &lt;em&gt;that&lt;/em&gt; naive.&amp;nbsp;Of course, I can't tell him that I know how these little games are played (or at least I know a bit more than I used to). I doubt my credentials as a cheater would impress anyone who lists "being faithful" as a key trait of his ideal partner.&amp;nbsp;So I can't tell him I've been&amp;nbsp;cheating on my husband by fucking his married neighbour (L) at one point in my life and that by now, I know how this works, but... if you are on a website for singles and you don't have time to check your emails or time to meet people, then that tells me one of those:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1) you've met someone and want to see where this goes (perfectly understandable)&amp;nbsp; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;2) you've lost&amp;nbsp;interest in me&amp;nbsp;(or had none and lied about it, which is childish) and&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;3) you're not serious about finding someone. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The least you could do is to modify your profile to say you are away, unavailable, taken, were abducted by aliens, etc.&amp;nbsp;Or if you don't want to tell me you're not interested, just use a pre-fab messages and send it my way. And if you're not serious about finding someone to date, then what are you doing on a&amp;nbsp;singles' website?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyways, he replies that he was away/didn't check emails, said he was still interested&amp;nbsp;and asked me a few things about myself, as&amp;nbsp;now we were directly exchanging. So I replied back (after&amp;nbsp;48 hours of waiting on my part - no point in being too&amp;nbsp;responsive&amp;nbsp;with him) that it was cool and I answered his questions, then asked a few of my own. Nothing ever came back.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since this guy lives in the same small town as L - and weird enough, SG6 (the story on him is upcoming)&amp;nbsp;told me he worked in the same town as L - I'm beginning to think there is something with people from that town.&amp;nbsp;Maybe it's the water? I wonder though if it's okay to discriminate someone based on location. Does this kinda thing only happens to me?! LOL&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I waited another 7 days, then&amp;nbsp;closed the match.&amp;nbsp;I hate people wasting my time. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4322801126401788633-4562385050912221792?l=theworldbegins.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://theworldbegins.blogspot.com/feeds/4562385050912221792/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://theworldbegins.blogspot.com/2011/04/if-you-dont-know-what-you-want-get-out.html#comment-form' title='10 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4322801126401788633/posts/default/4562385050912221792'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4322801126401788633/posts/default/4562385050912221792'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://theworldbegins.blogspot.com/2011/04/if-you-dont-know-what-you-want-get-out.html' title='If you don&apos;t know what you want, get out of the way'/><author><name>France</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13015208689942511974</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-z0wfj-NaVCY/Tw0Gx6Aa8_I/AAAAAAAAAbU/gZNqn5KOQyo/s1600/photo%25252525202-1.JPG'/></author><thr:total>10</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4322801126401788633.post-2105292054035495404</id><published>2011-04-23T02:05:00.012-04:00</published><updated>2011-04-23T02:05:00.796-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='dreams'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='fantasies'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='sex'/><title type='text'>Hotel sex (2)</title><content type='html'>&lt;em&gt;part 1 &lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href="http://theworldbegins.blogspot.com/2011/04/hotel-sex-1.html"&gt;&lt;em&gt;here&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I grinned and told&amp;nbsp;you the window&amp;nbsp;was a great idea. I tried to get off of you to make our way to the window, but you still held me close to you. You whispered in my ear how you wanted me&amp;nbsp;to stand, and then to wait for you without moving. Then you released me and told me to go.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I opened the drapes, looking outside the 4th floor window to the parking lot. I placed my hands, outstretched and as far as they could go, on the cold glass. Then I pressed my chest against it, gasping as&amp;nbsp;it met my breasts. I pressed my legs together, my rear end away from the glass and presented to you.&amp;nbsp;Lastly, I turned my head to the back of the room,&amp;nbsp;away from you, my cheek against the window. As instructed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And waited.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I heard some noises I couldn't quite figure out. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And waited some more.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My cum-filled pussy was leaking down my thighs... I could feel it, as it was throbbing anew.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your hand landed on my ass so fucking hard that I&amp;nbsp;let out a scream and pushed away from the glass, protesting. "That's for thinking that I'm too sweet", your voice echoed in my ear.&amp;nbsp;I felt the sting so intensely that my face&amp;nbsp;was burning&amp;nbsp;and my eyes watered. But I was loving this, no mistaking that...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your hand re-grabbed a fistful of hair and&amp;nbsp;pressed me back against the window.&amp;nbsp;I knew you weren't done and I&amp;nbsp;was biting my lower lip to somehow find strength for the next one, which came&amp;nbsp;on the other ass cheek. "and that's for not keeping position the way I asked you to."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I didn't know if people were watching, but if they were, I wondered if they were as excited as me. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As if&amp;nbsp;I was the most precious thing, your hand caressed me... soothing the flames, alleviating the pain. Your hand went between my legs and I heard you sigh as you stroked me. You let go of my hair and I heard something behind me. I knew better than to move by now. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then you slipped your belt around my neck.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;~~ * ~~&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;Note&lt;/u&gt;:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This must have been the most erotic dream I've had since I can't remember when... Unfortunately, I woke up just after that.&amp;nbsp;So let's get interactive with it!&amp;nbsp;Let's see how you would end it.

So far, I think I've been lucky.&amp;nbsp; It's true though that I haven't met too many guys since I started dating.&amp;nbsp;Often, it starts with&amp;nbsp;a few messages and then you noticed that you'd rather spend time exchanging crazy one liners than respond to your new match. Guilty as charged!&amp;nbsp; My attention span isn't always stellar.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;So, speaking of weirdos, here is an exchange I had on match.com:&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;div&gt;Received: "I need someone who is young and tight, could that be you?"&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Me, looking up his profile... says he's 60,&amp;nbsp;looking for someone 7-10 years younger.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Me, replying back and feeling sassy: "Math was never your forte, huh? I don't think my age and your desire add up."&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Him: "It adds up as far as the biggest cock you've had in yourself to date."&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Me, blocking profile and rolling my eyes.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;And there is SG5, who I thought would be a good match.&amp;nbsp;We started off okay, having good conversations and, even though I was sort of uncertain about his sense of humour,&amp;nbsp;I liked that we had some things in common.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;One day he gave me his cell number so we could exchange directly. That was okay with me&amp;nbsp;as 1) I don't mind giving out my cell number, after a few days/weeks,&amp;nbsp;to&amp;nbsp;people I'll eventually meet anyway and 2) I'm not listed in any phone books, so it's impossible to find out where I live&amp;nbsp;using my name in a search engine. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Suddenly, his style of flirting became a bit weird. I don't know if it's just because we were on a different platform, but I believe I'm always constant in my style, texting or messaging. &amp;nbsp;Anyways, he started winking at me at the wrong places&amp;nbsp;and/or the wrong times. I know, it's completely stupid to pay attention where someone does a ";)" in a text message, but that's how neurotic I am.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;So one day he suggested we meet for coffee. I said yes, then we talked where. Since I wanted to be accommodating, I offered to meet halfway. I found a place, but it's difficult to park in that area, so he suggested another one, at the corner of such and such. I deleted his messages since then, but his words were sort of "we can meet at xyz, it's close to abc park ;)"&amp;nbsp;... &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Notice&amp;nbsp;the wink after mentioning the park.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Insert creepy feeling now.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;If you know me by now, you're convinced that I am googling the coffee place, just to make sure where I'm going and if there is a possibility of my body parts being scattered somewhere. You're exactly right, I'm googling. And I can't find the freakin' coffee place. Even better, recent user reviews&amp;nbsp;say that the location is now closed. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Next to a huge park, at a closed coffee place, at night? Oh, I don't think so. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Insert creepy feeling again.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I trusted my female intuition/instincts. It didn't feel right to me.&amp;nbsp;I might have missed on a great guy, but better be safe than sorry. We exchanged a few more texts after that, but eventually I cancelled and said I had to work late. He probably thinks I'm a moron for cancelling after having said yes.&amp;nbsp;Oh well. What's one more person in the world hating me, huh?&amp;nbsp;:)&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4322801126401788633-8438943695166028909?l=theworldbegins.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://theworldbegins.blogspot.com/feeds/8438943695166028909/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://theworldbegins.blogspot.com/2011/04/cocky-arrogance-and-another-creep.html#comment-form' title='16 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4322801126401788633/posts/default/8438943695166028909'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4322801126401788633/posts/default/8438943695166028909'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://theworldbegins.blogspot.com/2011/04/cocky-arrogance-and-another-creep.html' title='Cocky arrogance and another creep'/><author><name>France</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13015208689942511974</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-z0wfj-NaVCY/Tw0Gx6Aa8_I/AAAAAAAAAbU/gZNqn5KOQyo/s1600/photo%25252525202-1.JPG'/></author><thr:total>16</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4322801126401788633.post-4160925834956200675</id><published>2011-04-17T23:32:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2011-04-18T21:22:51.034-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='dreams'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='fantasies'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='sex'/><title type='text'>Hotel sex (1)</title><content type='html'>&lt;div&gt;As I rested breathless on top of you,&amp;nbsp;a sheen of sweat covering my skin and making my hair curly,&amp;nbsp;we started talking about all and nothing. I teased you about being all too sweet... nothing like I had expected. To which you&amp;nbsp;responded with a chuckle.&amp;nbsp;My lips found your collarbone and started nibbling your skin, tasting the saltiness... up to your ear lobe, taking it between my lips, gently sucking on it. You had one hand&amp;nbsp;on my lower&amp;nbsp;back, just&amp;nbsp;resting&amp;nbsp;there; the other stroking my spine, from my ass to my nape, sending goosebumps on my overheated skin. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I felt you coming back to life, hardening against my belly.&amp;nbsp;You were now gently grazing your teeth and lips on my neck,&amp;nbsp;both hands&amp;nbsp;fisting into my hair, bringing a moan of pleasure out of my throat. My nipples hardened to pebbles against your chest and I was now gently rocking myself against you, your cock trapped between our slick bodies. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After a few minutes, you took my hands in yours and brought them at my back, wrapping my wrists within your firm grip. Before I could protest,&amp;nbsp;your other hand grabbed a handful of hair, pulling my face up above yours, where you kissed me hard and urgently. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I whispered against your lips, "on which piece of furniture now?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You turned my head towards the window. I felt your hot breath in my ear, and then you said, "Uh huh... not on, but&amp;nbsp;against."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;... to be continued&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4322801126401788633-4160925834956200675?l=theworldbegins.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://theworldbegins.blogspot.com/feeds/4160925834956200675/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://theworldbegins.blogspot.com/2011/04/hotel-sex-1.html#comment-form' title='13 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4322801126401788633/posts/default/4160925834956200675'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4322801126401788633/posts/default/4160925834956200675'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://theworldbegins.blogspot.com/2011/04/hotel-sex-1.html' title='Hotel sex (1)'/><author><name>France</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13015208689942511974</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-z0wfj-NaVCY/Tw0Gx6Aa8_I/AAAAAAAAAbU/gZNqn5KOQyo/s1600/photo%25252525202-1.JPG'/></author><thr:total>13</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4322801126401788633.post-5792151660640784145</id><published>2011-04-16T04:08:00.004-04:00</published><updated>2011-04-16T04:08:00.310-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='a dash of happy'/><title type='text'>Lack of time (A dash of happy)</title><content type='html'>I can hear your thoughts...

I was on my blog, going through previous posts and asking myself if I really wanted to answer comments... I mean, who really keeps track of where they commented and remembers to check if the blogger has responded? Not a&amp;nbsp;whole lot, I'm sure! But it's something I do feel is important, so I'll&amp;nbsp;make a note to be more diligent. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So how can lack of time make me feel happy? I don't know, it just does. I've been so busy with work, new people, other people, projects, activities, thoughts and everything else, that it just makes me happy!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This week's dash of happy is:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;~ Being pulled in different directions and enjoying the sense of not having enough time to do it all!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-3h_REzN7MW8/TYlSHqAB7QI/AAAAAAAAAMg/7xnCXHEvum4/s1600/imagesCAQ3BCDK.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="133" r6="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-3h_REzN7MW8/TYlSHqAB7QI/AAAAAAAAAMg/7xnCXHEvum4/s200/imagesCAQ3BCDK.jpg" width="200" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4322801126401788633-5792151660640784145?l=theworldbegins.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://theworldbegins.blogspot.com/feeds/5792151660640784145/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://theworldbegins.blogspot.com/2011/04/lack-of-time-dash-of-happy.html#comment-form' title='7 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4322801126401788633/posts/default/5792151660640784145'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4322801126401788633/posts/default/5792151660640784145'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://theworldbegins.blogspot.com/2011/04/lack-of-time-dash-of-happy.html' title='Lack of time (A dash of happy)'/><author><name>France</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13015208689942511974</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-z0wfj-NaVCY/Tw0Gx6Aa8_I/AAAAAAAAAbU/gZNqn5KOQyo/s1600/photo%25252525202-1.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-3h_REzN7MW8/TYlSHqAB7QI/AAAAAAAAAMg/7xnCXHEvum4/s72-c/imagesCAQ3BCDK.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>7</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4322801126401788633.post-5526145166778510201</id><published>2011-04-14T23:01:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2011-04-14T23:01:52.476-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='SG2'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='funny stuff'/><title type='text'>Question from SG2</title><content type='html'>While exchanging a few emails,&amp;nbsp;SG2 proceeded to tell me about something that happened at work between two&amp;nbsp;elders who&amp;nbsp;were fighting about a cell phone. He referred to the phone as a toy, and those 2 folks were acting like kids arguing on who gets to play with it. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then he asks me: "What are some of your favorite toys?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh!&amp;nbsp;Are you&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;really&lt;/em&gt; asking me that question?! Or perhaps I should ask for his definition of toy before answering? And, are we there yet to be sharing this information?!&amp;nbsp; Yeah, I'm sure he meant electronic gadgets. But wait... those toys are that sometimes. Then he must mean phones, ipods, playstations, wii&amp;nbsp;and stuff like that, right? ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Was he asking as a man genuinely interested in what like to play with?
