Oops!

I had to d/l a new SL client on my iMac last night, which I started after polishing off a bottle of wine & after getting 3 hours' sleep the previous night - I fell asleep, while Kezzy was expecting me literally any minute! I am *so* sorry! I woke up in a pool of drool on my desk, 3AM & Kezzy had gone to bed... I staggered to bed & woke up in the morning again, came back & found all these GTalk IMs wondering what had happened to me... D'oh! :-( Sorry!

ION Kezzy & I are officially an SL item. W00t! Happy bunny!

Yay! Happy times!

Big shout-out to Quanishia Tuqiri, a good friend I met through Aneesa & her family. Quani's amazing at photoshop, and a dab hand with SL photography, which makes for a great combination. Anyway, tonight, her new girlfriend Nichole Easterman proposed to her, & she accepted, so huge congratulations on the new partnership :-) You rock, both of you!

In Other News, I've been hanging out with Kezzy some more. She's not on tomorrow, so I'm going to go get me a ridable giraffe so I can join her for giraffe-trekking in Ireland.

Yay!

I'm really loving my SL these days. Old friends are getting back in touch, new friends are being made, understandings are being reached with exes, and tonight I'll be DJing at the Purple Rose ballroom, doing a selection of Jazz & Blues for a couple of hours.

I'm not tremendously experienced as a Jazz DJ yet, so it's not so much like the semi-continuous sets I do at the Try Line, more a case of "Here's a whole track, have a listen, let it roll around your head a while..." All good.

Fun times

Aneesa decided once again to break up with me & frankly I can't blame her, though it's 6 of one & a half dozen of the other. She wanted a husband, I'm already married in RL & tbh am not prepared to give the level of care she needs. Also, she entered into our relationship saying she was a sub & wanted to be dominated, yet couldn't adhere to the regime. It's not for everyone, but when you enter into a D/s relationship, you'd better have some commitment to that. Being her dom was something I *could* do because that's not something my RL wife is into & thus it's not an encroachment on our relationship. By trying to be my wife, she was trying to take something that wasn't hers nor was it up to me to give.

Anyway, so now Scia is free & single, and frankly loving it. I've been spending a lot of time with my colleague & good friend Kezzy Forwzy, who's a Disney princess in SL, and a right good laugh. She took me to get juggled by a pink elephant & or my part I showed her the Cthulhu bridge in October Country & the Far Away, where we met the artist, AM Radio. Last night I joined her for a rehearsal of her musicals (at the Purple Rose, they put on spectacular recreations of scenes from famous musicals, where they mime with the avatars to the official soundtrack recordings. It requires really good timing & takes a lot of rehearsing, and Kezzy looked great doing "Lady Marmalade" from "Moulin Rouge"). After the rehearsal was done we danced for the rest of the evening & just chatted & hung out together. It was great. Just a couple of good friends, although I can't deny I rather like Kez, but there's no *pressure*, not doing anything naughty, just enjoying her company is all.

Tired (Rare RL crossover post)

I'm too tired for SL tonight. I'm a bit down because Mel aka DJ Lucy*Fur died last night. She was terminally ill so it was to be expected, but a big bunch of us were trying to raise money to get her surgery in the US to buy her a few extra months. She had so many things she wanted to do, like going to Thailand & giving a tiger a hug(!) - she brought joy to many through her DJing & will be remembered fondly by all who knew her, and those who knew her by reputation.

There are so many things I want to do too. I get fuck all time to do them in though. Tonight, I'm going to sleep. I feel exhausted.

Last night

Was eeeeeeeeeexcellent!

Well, not without incident. A certain person popped up in group chat & although I greeted her politely she raised the issue that I'd de-friended her. I said that I'd done so because we never talk except in that group, and thought she wouldn't mind. She said she was okay with it, so I said "Coolio - long as you're okay." She said she didn't care how I felt about it, that I wasn't a friend. I responded by saying "No - friends give a shit." to which she retorted that she muted unwanted friends. I thought I'd better clarify things a little here. I always gave a shit. She didn't. Other exes who (apologies to them but...) mattered less to me actually bothered to see if I was okay in the weeks following our break-ups. J on the other hand, apparently didn't care if I lived or died, and I could well have ended up dead. I'm not bitter about - well, no, I am quite bitter about everything, but anyway. She's really, over a few months, revealed herself to be a quite different person to the one I loved, and she's managed to finally show to me how wrong I was. I'm deeply sorry I ever got involved with her. Now, I can look back at our times together & think to myself not of regret that it ended, but "WTF were you thinking? You utter, utter twat..." - Now, finally, I can let go of every last memory of her.
If J should read this - you have genuinely lost a friend. I was ready to do anything for you if you needed someone in an emergency. Now, if you end up in the gutter, afraid & insane, you can rot there. I used to wish you well, but now, actually you can go to hell. And I've wasted quite enough of my time & blog space thinking about you. Fuck you very much.

So, on to other business :-)
Yesterday morning, I caught Aneesa at it with Kerensa, a lesbian domme we both know, in flagrante. TBH I didn't mind, it was something pretty to wake up to, BUT Aneesa had insisted on us making a rule - no one-on-one sessions without the other being there, and she was already in the act. SO. Kerensa & I caged her ass all day, & then when I came back she got into a fight in IM with Rudh. Now, I know Rudh's quite a hardline domme, and she's without a sub at the moment, so I brought her over while I had Aneesa tied up & awaiting a flogging, and let her have her way with her for a while. It was awesome. She really pushed Aneesa to her limits, and I only eased off when I saw Aneesa was seriously uncomfortable with the way things were going. We played all kinds of D/s headgames between us, and then when we were done I let Aneesa cuddle with me while we did a kind of post-session inquest, see how she was reacting & feeling. Now Aneesa's got these fantastic cuffs which never come off once locked - if they do, they re-rezz immediately. Wheee! Amazing. I rewarded Aneesa's devotion by taking her to a formal ball she'd asked to go to in Loch Lomond, me dressed in my clan tartan & Irish formal dress jacket & beret, her in a beautiful ballgown. Kerensa - if you're reading this, I know, we promised to take her out to a public area, but I think she'd had enough for the evening. We can do that another time - I'm sure we'll find a reason to hook up again. Actually I should try & get Ker & Rudh topping Aneesa together at some point - Ker's style is very firm but loving, while Rudh's is definitely the bad cop to Ker's good cop. I think they'd make the best kind of tag team.

Anyway - theme music for the day is Axwell's "I Found U (remode)" which you'll find on my profile. Just load my profile in-world & listen to the happy, lovely sounds. I'm in a GREAT mood today. And I'm meeting with Rudh's RL player for lunch, as she's down here for the day. Yay!
