I wailed dramatically, while blinking blearily to awareness this morning.
"Slave first, friends second." He stated factually as he loomed menacingly over me.
"Uh, say wha...? That's news to me."
Kids activities and financial stresses have completely consumed life.
One of the soccer moms was complaining last night as she pulled her daughter out of the game, "We have lives, you know!" I laughed, "We do?"
Yep, that's where I've been--living in my car in between hours spent on cold and unpleasant soccer fields. I'm soccer/chess mom/queenpennypincher extraordinaire. Apparently I have not balanced it all well with slavery. Skimping on my medicine to make it last longer might be a slightly contributing factor to my current inability to successfully juggle hats.
But back to this whole, "Slave first, friends second" concept. That's kind of a new basis for things around here. We have been friends for much longer than we have been Master and slave. We were always friends first...
Apparently a new (or at least somewhat obscured) era is being ushered in. An era of demerit marks (in permanent marker on my ass) to be totaled and payed for regularly. I racked up five in the first hour this morning. Do you have any idea how much I hate that cane?
I think maybe I might know just how much you hate the cane.
ReplyDeletesunnygirl,
DeleteLOL! Are you absolutely positive? Because I'm not sure that I've mentioned it before...
Skin cells shed every two days.... That takes care of the marker pen. The cane marks. ...... Commiserations :-(
ReplyDeleteDelFonte,
DeleteLol. My skin muct not be shedding properly, 'cuz that shit is outlasting my showers.
umm cant commiserate on the cane, as your more than likely aware i love it favouritist implement ever!! however one persons pleasure can be another persons misery, if im correct i recall that you love the crop? which is not one of my favourites at all.
ReplyDeleteI have been thinking about what you said about slave first etc, because one thing i have envied about those like yourself who came to M/s from an established relationship is the history you have, the friendship, the relationship as a whole before...which i didnt have...im going to muse on this in my little corner i think.

tori,
Deleteoddly enough, he seems to misplace the crop on a regular basis, but he always has that damn cane at hand!
I'm interested to read your musing on the subject. We talked more about it, and he is of the (rather forceful) opinion that it doesn't matter either way because I'm his no matter how I look at the slave-to-friend ratio...
WOW..i thought Master was creative,,,keeping track on your ass....LOL...good luck!
ReplyDeletehugs abby
Lol, abby.
DeleteThanks, I need it!
'slave first, friends second'?!
ReplyDeleteblimey, that would freak me out.
In fact, to be honest, it is freaking me out by proxy as it were!
Friendship is the bedrock of our marriage and relationship. I'm pretty sure, thinking about it, that if we weren't friends then I simply couldn't submit and certainly wouldn't be able to be a slave. (I know others can and do, just musing here). I think I had to be very safe and secure before I let those parts of me out, and for me that required our friendship as well as romantic love and sexual attraction...
as for demerits on your arse with permanent marker... I actually rather love that! More than keeping a book, that is... He often writes on me and I love it...
as for the cane - well I'm slightly terrified, having never experienced one!
mc kitten,
DeleteI don't think that we could ever not be friends in the sense of how we feel about each other in everyday life. However, I also think that familiarity breeds a certain amount of laziness in what I see as acceptable behavior from myself. If that makes any sense...
I do not love the marks...I think he's trying to make them permanent...
The cane...Well, no matter which direction you end up going about it, one thing's for sure--chances are you'll feel rather strongly about it!
my reply ended up being long and rambly and going off in entirely different direction so I blogged instead :D
Deletemc kitten,
DeleteI tried to go read your rambly, but I couldn't get in ):
?! really? it's not locked or anything. how odd. I'll have a look.
DeleteSo just landed here because I was re-reading a post of mine, where I linked this post and stopped on: "However, I also think that familiarity breeds a certain amount of laziness in what I see as acceptable behavior from myself...." comment.
Delete^^^^Ooooh^^^^^ my head went. And sometimes familiarity is just so easy and there and when you are just surviving...its good to have that coz you would crumble utterly if it wasn't but it doesn't make for strong boundaries and a good working order M/s needs that...trying to explain my lightbulb moment, here.
But just know you taught me something else from the same post, years later. Never doubt how much of an impact the words you share have, my friend.
I know that I've been absentee for some time, but I do so dearly appreciate you Bleue.
DeleteLil, I am kind of amused with your husband's comment. He is sounding very alpha and if my husband said that to me, well I would just throw myself over the bed with my butt in the air because sometimes being his slave is much easier than any of the other jobs I have (like soccer mom, cook, chauffeur, nurse, mediator, volunteer, etc.)
ReplyDeleteThe good thing is, you know that your friendship is what will always be a strong bond but the this new dynamic is sounding pretty good. As for the cane, we haven't tried it yet but I am sure that Ty could find something else to use on my bottom to keep track of things.
Have a great weekend
Blondie,
Deleteahh, if only being a slave were so simple and confined!
The cane...Terrible terrible item. And surprisingly easy to find in the most random and common of items...
Good luck lil! I can definitely commiserate with you on the cane. Marking your butt ... how creative of him! I think that comment would freak me out too. We were friends first too.

Roz,
Deletecreative, yes...Not sure that I'm a fan though, lol.
I do hope you managed to get a coffee in first? :)
ReplyDeleteDee x
Dee! So good to see you here. I hope that you have been well?
DeleteThat was the problem, you see--I feel that coffee must be consumed before all activities of any kind, and he...Doesn't. He's got it all wrong, I tell ya.
Permanent marker can be removed off skin with a loofa thingy. At least that's what mouse has heard. :)
ReplyDeleteHonestly Omega makes notes with his demerit tick marks. Thank goodness mouse's rear isn't big enough to hold all that information.
Hugs,
mouse
mouse,
DeleteUm, there was possibly some illicit scrubbing which was not met with enthusiasm...
Lol! I'd be so sad to have my rear covered in notes. Especially if they fit.
I couldn't help giggling at that.
