Ow. Really. I mean ow.

Did something to my shoulder yesterday morning at work (reached too fast for a heavy door that was closing and wrenched something under my left shoulder blade). It bugged me for most of the day and then on the drive home from KC it really started to hurt. This morning, I could barely pull the wheel to make a left hand turn and forget carrying anything more than five pounds with that arm. Sitting here at my desk with 1,000mg of ibuprofen attempting to work their magic. Ow. Ow ow ow. I worry that even if I do live past 75 (not a terribly common occurance in my family on either side), I'm going to have to live in a padded cell for fear of possible injuries. I'm so fucking fragile.

Had an absolute blast last night with the other girls I'm playing with out at faire this year. They're all so fun and sexy! Like really sexy. Super sexy. And so raunchy! It's wonderful. It's like being in a room full of dviccis, only with tits. Alas, I was not up to my full bawdy potential due to shoulder pain and the fact that I couldn't drink much. I think as I age, also, my dirty humor is becoming more and more subtle. And that's cool. It's actually a lot of fun to be the woman who stands in back with a smirk and a lifted eyebrow. As I close the gap to forty, it's probably best that I'm not up there in the front row dancing topless on the table.

One of the girls last night brought in this magnificent teal ostrich feather fan--that had a nice solid paddle base!!! I was completely enamored and I desperately want one. Shouldn't be too hard to make, right? For personal use, even if I don't bring it out to faire. I saw that thing and immediately started wondering how my little slapper would look hanging off my belt next to my mug and fan. Hmmmm. Perhaps not exactly period, but what a look, eh? I guess we gotta keep things at least under the pretense of being family-friendly. Darn it. I think the renaissance era could probably have used a sadistic/dominating prostitute or two. Just call me "Sadie". snicker

OK, just tried to stretch and that was a bad idea. Crap.

1. If you could live during any period of time, when would you have lived? This one. No way would I live in the past. I very much enjoy and appreciate all the work the feminist movement did for me. I would have been miserable forced into the "good little wife and mother" role.
2. Name the most important invention or innovation that has happened during your lifetime: Wow. Hard to say what's the most important overall for everyone. For me personally, I have to say I'm pretty pleased with how the digital age has expanded my circles of friends. Laproscopic surgery is pretty nice, too.
3. How do you spend your free time? Sewing. Reading. LJ.
4. Do you have a healthy body image or do think you have a warped perception of what you look like? Warped warped warped. I know I don't see what other people see when I look at me.
5. ..and of course: Have you seen Rocky Horror Picture Show? [AKA, are you a virgin?] Yes, I've seen it and I made a pretty good looking Magenta, too, thanks.

And in case I don't get online tomorrow (I'm in KC for most of the day), have a happy birthday to jenocp!

Would you say they were Heaving?

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

Baby, they were totally heaving. In fact, that word was actually used at one point when referring to a certain girl's bosom. Yes, yes it was.

My dear, the only reason I would suggest you not have it on your belt is it will open doors for patron interaction that you may well not want to deal with. Also, there are a number of people who do include such things on their costumes and they are sadly, often without fail, exactly the sort of cheesegeek you would not remotely associate with or wish to be associated with.

Madam Red is often put into the dom position in our flirtations, so don't think you won't go there, however, such games are verbal. Of course, I also have my lap dog who walks with me on a leash and huge collar, but it's very underplayed (meaning we don't actually make mention of the fact that the Madam has a man - often dressed in full leather armor - on a leash...much funnier that way).

Don't think you won't be bluntly rude or funny as things play out as well. You will find, however, that the young'uns are often more stridently obvious, just because they have not necessarily fully grasped subtlety in such things. But you will, absolutely, finding yourself chiming in, particularly when its a smaller group of us.

Greatly looking foward to it.

Ew. Yeah, true. And as for "cheesegeeks"--double yeah, double true. Hadn't considered that. Ah, bless you voice of knowledge and wisdom. =)

Call you Sadie? . . .Aww, I babysit a five-year-old girl named Sadie.

Hmmm. Not really the image I was hoping to cultivate. =b

Hmmm. I think you owe it to us to take photos. Lots and lots of photos.

Oh, I'm sure! chernobylred, I think you should contact misia for the historical perspective. I bet kijjohnson also has the info.

Ever been to a really fannish fan-con? Norwescon is one of them. About 1/3 of the inmates play "BDSM dress-up" in the crowd, and most of 'em are 16. It's kind of embarrassing, really.

Luckily for me, I've never been to any sort of fan-con, much less a really fannish one. =)
