Chillin in the New Year

I have no idea where this picture is from, but I could not find any copyrights to it when I googled. My apologies.  It fits my current situation though.

I am climbing the walls at home and trying to make the best of it... for 4 weeks and counting.  Rumproaster came down for a weekend and wisked me away to the movies to get me out of the house.  We went to see War Horse.  I highly recommend seeing that one.  Take some tissues.  It's a tear jerker.

Other than sneaking out to dinner and a movie, I've been sitting at home...drinking good wine, eating good food, watching good dvd's and generally being a bumm.

Hopefully this blog will get some regular updating now.  I do hope to get to spring cleaning on this blog soon.  It needs an overhaul.  Plus I hope to begin doing some post on lovely people I've met in the scene - provided they give their permission.   I find that I enjoy the friendships of spankos in a vanilla sense much more than plain vanillas for the most part.  Then you can have everyday fun - and if a spanking comes up, no need to hide it.  But if not, being in the company of friends is one of life's greatest pleasures.  I have some good, sincere, fun loving friends in the scene and have enjoyed them immensely in a variety of situations.  Friendships take years to develop and I love to enjoy the progression over time.

Ok, I'm rambling.  More later.  Hopefully.

Meeting Jean

Jean is a wonderful lady I met probably a year and a half ago. She is quiet, but boy can she brat.

She has very good hearing.  She once heard me say, "Please" (more than once, mind you) to a top FROM ACROSS THE ROOM in a scene where he was demanding I apologize. He kept spanking and claims he "didn't hear" me say that.  I'm still trying to figure out how he couldn't hear from less than 2 feet away yet Jean heard  from across the room.  Thank you, Jean, for that support. There is a spanker out there with VERY selective hearing!

Jean is getting spanked here by Thomas for being all perfect and angelic.  She deserved every swat.  She also is teaching a certain top named Mike, how to count.  He's not very good at it yet.  She is quiet, alot of fun, and a very good brat.  I love getting to know her at events and in vanilla settings too.  Can't wait until we meet again.

Making More Friends Along the Way

When I started out in the spanking world not so long ago, I was fearful of ending up on the 6 o'clock news, naive about people's intentions, way too trusting in some instances, not trusting enough in others, not sure of what was expected of me OR the top, thought other's experiences were the example of how mine should be, the whole gamut of newbie fears, frustrations and learning curves.  I've made mistakes and had successes along the way and am more than willing to share both with whomever asks.  But mostly, all my experiences have been good ones.

One a side note, Sarah Thorne has a great post on "Safety in The Scene".  You can find that link Here .

Surprisingly (to me), I have ended up making some of my best friends with people who are spankos.  It is nice to relax, put the wall down that hides this kink, and just be friends.  If the spanking side comes out, wooo hooo.  If not, I really enjoy their company otherwise.  I cannot imagine my life without spanking friends anymore.  For me, it's about making lasting friendships first and spanking second.  I think I'm better equipped now to bring the backbone I have in my personal life into my spanking life.

Here's to all my spanko friends in PA, NC, MI, FL, KY, SC, AL, NJ, NY and anywhere else I missed.  I'm looking forward to more years of friendship and making more friends along the way.
