| 28 Feb 10 | Wants, needs and desires (2) | (7 Mar 10, 7:45 PM by newbie38) |
| I have recently learned a lesson. It was interesting, painful, and somewhat disquieting – at my age, with my intelligence and life experience. It is all too easy to think that we know so much, much harder to accept that we know so little. [more...]

| 10 Feb 10 | What is love? (4) | (12 Feb 10, 8:48 PM by totallycoverme) |
| I was watching "Meet Joe Black" for the nth time, and was struck by this quotation. As it's close to Valentine's Day, I thought I'd share it. [more...]

| 9 Feb 10 | Well, it's a start. (2) | (7 Mar 10, 7:36 PM by newbie38) |
| I felt like writing a blog. There seemed to be a number of things whirling round in my head, some of them difficult, most of them straightforward. But I remembered to advice I have been given by two friends, one of whom is the subject of one or two of the whirling things. So, nothing self-indulgent, nothing self-deprecating, nothing this, nothing that. Everything becomes so tricky. It is a wonder that I manage even basic motor functions. [more...]

| 24 Jan 10 | The simple life? (1) | (24 Jan 10, 5:52 PM by chelsea) |
| I used to think that life was, or could be, or should be, oh so simple. [more...]

| 5 Jan 10 | Co-dependency (1) | (5 Jan 10, 10:25 PM by jules9) |
| A recent thread set me thinking, not least of all about the lack of understanding of what co-dependency actually means. Perhaps that is behind some of the comments rejecting it as 'bollocks'. [more...]

| 4 Jan 10 | The joy of 'Alpha' threads (10) | (4 Jan 10, 7:14 PM by CookieMonster) |
| I love these threads, not so much for their educative or discursive content, but more for the manner in which they seem to encourage disclosure that is entirely tangential to the point. [more...]

| 26 Dec 09 | Home alone? (1) | (26 Dec 09, 1:10 PM by little_temptress) |
| This blog set me thinking about my own situation. [more...]

| 24 Dec 09 | 'Twas the night before Christmas | (24 Dec 09, 8:26 PM by relaxed1) |
| Well, that was how it felt. In the silence, she could hear her heart beating. Perhaps it was the anticipation of what might happen, perhaps fear of the unknown. Except none of this was unknown. [more...]

| 22 Dec 09 | Friends (3) | (23 Dec 09, 9:12 AM by jules9) |
| I am sick and tired of it all. Everything I do seems to turn to crap, particularly relationships and friendships. I hasten to add that I'm not referring to anyone in particular in this blog – if you think I'm referring to someone you know, you're probably wrong. [more...]

| 18 Dec 09 | Emotions (2) | (7 Mar 10, 7:15 PM by newbie38) |
| I will admit, ab initio, to being a fairly emotional person. I have never had any issues with myself, either with seeking an emotional connection or showing emotion. Not excessively, I don't think, but emotion nonetheless. Perhaps this is incompatible with D/s, but I'd much rather be too free with my emotions than too 'cold'. [more...]
|
| 17 Dec 09 | Ignore (5) | (18 Dec 09, 4:22 AM by ocimum_sanctum) |
| I was musing, as I often do, on the 'ignore' option. Looking at my own ignore list, I was amused (or perhaps amazed) to note that in my time on IC, I have never felt the need to ignore anyone. Not once. [more...]

 14 Dec 09 | London Fetish Fair (1) | (14 Dec 09, 11:31 PM by JustBlue) |
Following my first visit to SWAMP last month, I thought I'd give LFF a shot this month and I have to say that I thoroughly enjoyed it. Although I couldn't stay for too long (and not for the afterparty  ) it was a very enjoyable outing. [more...]

| 12 Dec 09 | Introspection (3) | (15 Dec 09, 9:29 PM by relaxed1) |
| I was very touched this evening to receive a series of memos from a very kind person and, as is so often the case with such correspondence, it made me think. [more...]

| 12 Dec 09 | When things go wrong (12) | (13 Dec 09, 2:31 PM by De_Luxe) |
| This isn't a confession, but more of a meandering introspection. The questions are largely rhetorical. [more...]

| 3 Dec 09 | Going back to school :-( | (3 Dec 09, 11:07 AM by relaxed1) |
| I thought that school was a distant memory, a mere blip on the horizon. But no, I have kids. So now I am having to re-live those days of deadlines and head-scratching. [more...]

| 29 Nov 09 | Reflecting (5) | (9 Dec 09, 8:37 AM by american_girl) |
| I wanted to write a blog, but everything in my head was too personal, too emotional, too… I don't know, perhaps too inappropriate. [more...]

| 25 Nov 09 | Fantasy III - a story | (25 Nov 09, 5:41 PM by relaxed1) |
| As she stood against the wall, she felt the blood trickling down her back. The pain was the most intense she had experienced, the bruises deeper than ever before, but the feeling of contentment was greater and more satisfying. [more...]
