You've had a busy day, Amara. Was it your boss (on the phone)? :p

Nope-our new 'project' the NYT reporter Daniel Bergner- he got in touch with me about SL and such. I said I was willing to show him about - I am afraid I am just not real good at the teaching stuff though, poor man- If he really wants perspective and 'good' information he can do much better. Then again- since his focus was touted to be about female sexuality and desire in SL- and according to the Pip clone I am a whore, so maybe i am quite suited- Funny, i didn't find that a bit offensive - must be one of those moments where one weighs the origin of a comment as more impacting than the actual comment.

We didn't get that far though in our talk- he impressed me in that he was quite interested in the workings of SL it self - how does one dress, how long did it take for me to know how to interact with the platform, how does he make himself walk, that sort of thing. It is so sad that LL has taken away the basic tuts- we found a mentor who gave him an LM to Help Island Public or OI public, I forget- the instructions were still there. But what the heck are noobs to do that don't even know to look for a mentor?

I did recommend he find an escort to get a better slant on some aspects but I don't know anyone in that line of work.

I was thinking that he might get so bogged down in learning how to get around that he'd never get to the material he's interested in.

AND THEN

think of him trying to explain to the average reader what in the world this Second Life thing is.

It's admirable of you to try to bring him up to speed so quickly, Amaranthim. Too bad we can't do the Matrix download we discussed yesterday.

ETA - wait - you talked to that guy on the *phone*? Aren't you worried about ending up in his book as one of the desiring women?

Honestly I wanted to talk with you before getting personal and showing him our home- I took him to my castle which is ridiculously PG and even then was only there maybe five minutes while i looked for some suitably smutty place to take him to. I am afraid smut is really unreliable! Not one naked avatar - no prim attachments! Geesh! What is random sex come to??? For Pete's sake, I found a place called Forest Orgy!! You wd think there wd have been at least one measely orgy!! NOTHING! It's giving deviants and pervs a bad name I tell you! :rolleyes:

I very honestly told him it was my devious plot to make SL swallow him whole- I figure if he is not addicted he can't really explain- then - when he is - he will be so entrenched he wont care what the outside world knows :D Muwa hahahahaha

If no one asks me to dance, I ask someone to dance with me.

well, now, that's because you only have a one in three chance of finding sex there:

Main Entry:
or·gy
Function:
noun
Inflected Form(s):
plural orgies
Etymology:
Middle French orgie, from Latin orgia, plural, from Greek; akin to Greek ergon work — more at work
Date:
circa 1561
1: secret ceremonial rites held in honor of an ancient Greek or Roman deity and usually characterized by ecstatic singing and dancing
2 a: drunken revelry b: a sexual encounter involving many people ; also : an excessive sexual indulgence
3: excessive indulgence in something especially to satisfy an inordinate appetite or craving -an orgy of destruction- -a national orgy of thrill seeking and risk taking-

Yesterday evening I went for a massage at a spa down the street from me. I haven't had one for a couple of YEARS, so I was due.

The guy started with my feet and lower legs. When he finished there, I had already gotten my money's worth. Then he moved to my back, focusing mostly on my butt. Then he just worked on my tail bone and butt. At one point, he ran his nails across my cheeks, and after that...

I FELL ASLEEP

He had to wake me up to roll over.

The whole time this beautiful music was playing, but I couldn't speak to ask what it was.

Then, he said he was done but he went to get a "warm towel". He came back and stuck the towel - which felt like a hot rock - under my neck. Oh my god, I moaned. It was the first sound I made since he started.

The thing about this guy is that he just TOOK OVER. He didn't say "relax your arm" or "relax your leg" or whatever. He just took the different parts of me and did his thing. I relaxed because he made me relax.

I have to get on some kind of regular schedule with this guy.

.

Sounds heavenly.

I've never once been to a spa or had a massage. I got a facial a couple of years ago but didn't like it much, and though I love getting my hair done and whatever, I never seem to be able to relax enough to enjoy it. I'm sorta scared of the whole strangers touching me thing.

ohmygod, Claire. I love them. One time I soaked in a tub full of hot water and oils until I was a soft lump. Then I lay on a mat on the floor and was kneaded like bread.

Another time this Chinese man lay hot rocks and steaming towels all over me and when I was all red and relaxed he took them away and started fiercely digging his fingers into me all over. He also kept twanging my funny bone (on purpose!). When I told him that it hurt he said, "If it hurts, it means the chi is not flowing!" Then - just before I was wild enough to tell him to stop - he buried me in the hot rocks and steaming towels again. It was like heaven.

Another time this guy who combines massage and acupuncture did his thing to me, but it was scary. It seemed like he was angry with me. He'd give me these dirty looks and then stick a needle near my knee. It turned out that my friend, who went before me, gabbed the whole time and told him all sorts of stories about me that put me in a bad light.

But still, it's rare that a massage is bad. (None of the ones I mentioned were bad.) Most of them are just relaxing. You never realize how tense you are until you relax like that.

Seven you make me giggle :)

I would be afraid i think of going to a massage thing - I had a medical one once on my back when i was having serious back problems ages ago and it was amazing how horrible it wd hurt then the pain would just dissapear. But i wd be afraid of letting go and like really relaxing in front of a stranger. I need people already close to me to get themselves licensed :) that would work!
