Be Gentle, It's My First Time

Well, it's not really my first time with online journalling. But I've finally been bitten by the LJ bug. I have another one, at http://bookofmirrors.blogspot.com, if anyone wants to read it. I have, up until now, been EXTREMELY picky about who I give that link to, but hey... the whole point of having something like this is to let yourself hang out there, right? So, have at it.

I do have a few things to say about this, and I'm only gonna say it once. If you're reading this, be aware that I don't censor myself. It's my journal, I write what I want, when I want. I name people by name, and I don't use initials, or nicknames, unless I happen to call that person by a nickname in real life. I might do that thing where their LJ name comes up, although I don't think I've figured out how to do that yet. So, if I know you, your name might end up in here. Deal with it. I will say, however, that everything in here is my OPINION, nothing more. If I say something about someone you know, or yourself, take it as the bullshit it may be. It's my take on things, nothing more, nothing less. And it may not be the same take I have 5 minutes later, and I may never bother to say that. This is for me, and no one else. And that's as it should be.

OK, now that we've got the bitchy portion out of the way... ;)

Actually, I think that's it for now. I'm still playing with the settings. :)

So Many Buttons

Yikes... it's all html code... but I figured out how to do the username thing...

elorie gave me my code, so many thanks! :)

Now Glenn wants one. ;)

Which OS are you?

I can't possibly go this long without putting a quiz in here! Found this on Triest's LJ.

(See?? I've already forgotten how to make the name thing work, and the FAQ page won't load. This thing is a lot more work than Blogger....)


Which OS are You?

Getting to Know You... Me... Whatever

Got this one from simplysakka. Thought it might be a good way to introduce myself.



[ Name ]: K'La
[ Born in ]: Cincinatti, Ohio
[ Resides in ]: Atlanta, Georgia
[ Good student? ]: Graduated with a 4.109 GPA. On a 5-point scale, but who's counting? ;)
[ Eyes ]: Hazel, truly, but I usually say green, 'cause that's my favorite color that they turn. This get this kick-ass glow-in-the-dark green when I've been in a dark room for a long time.
[ Hair ]: Brown, red tones... where did all the gray come from???
[ Skin color ]: Causasian (What the hell kind of a question is this?)
[ Shoe size ]: 8 wide

Last time you..
[ Had a nightmare ]: Hard to remember... I don't have many. Maybe a month ago? I don't remember it, though.
[ Said "I love you" and meant it ]: About 4 hours ago, when Glenn (my husband) left for work.
[ Ate at McDonald's ]: A few days ago, I think.
[ Dyed your hair ]: Hmmm.... about 5 months ago, I think.
[ Brushed your hair ]: This morning
[ Washed your hair ]: This morning
[ Cried ]: Yesterday, on the way home from therapy.
[ Called someone ]: Ummmm.... my parents, yesterday. But only 'cause they don't have a computer. ;)
[ Smiled ]: I don't keep track... but I was laughing at Mikey earlier.
[ Laughed ]: See above.

[Do You...]
[ Sleep with stuffed animals? ] I have a husband and 6 cats. What do you think?
[ Have a dream that keeps coming back? ] When I was little, I did. But not now.
[ Play an instrument? ]: I used to play the piano.
[ Believe there is life on other planets? ]: Sure
[ Remember your first love? ]: John Lee - the boy across the street
[ Read the newspaper? ]: I would if I had a subscription. But then again, who has the time?
[ Have any straight friends? ]: My husband ;)
[ Consider love a mistake? ]: Never
[ Like the taste of alcohol? ]: Sure - but I rarely drink.
[ Believe in God? ]: God, Goddess, Bob... whatever you wanna call Him/Her/It/Me

[ Have any secrets? ] Sure
[ Have any pets ]: 6 cats - Neg, Loki, Whimsy, Smithers, Murke, and Ashira
[ Talk to strangers who instant message you]: Most of the time
[ Wear hats? ]: Not really. Sometimes I'll steal Glenn's for fun.
[ Have any piercings? ]: 3 holes in my right ear, 2 in my left, my tongue - but all closed.
[ Have any tattoos? ]: 5 - a Phoenix (a la X-Men) on my sternum, a tribal Simba on my outer left ankle, a black and purple yin yang on the right side of my neck, a pentacle/yin-yang/cross/starofdavid/triskele/ohm on my upper back, a blue triangle on my left ring finger
[ Hate yourself? ]: Sometimes
[ Have an obsession? ]: Sex!
[ Have a secret crush? ]: Hmmm... I think I've told everyone I want to fuck...

[ Have any bad habits? ]: Food, self-deprication
[ Care about looks? ]: My own, more than I care to admit. Others, not really - I tend to see past that
[ Boy/girlfriend's looks? ]: He's awful purty... long blonde hair, hazel eyes I could drown in... but I might be a teensy bit biased
[ Friends and other people? ]: What about them? I have them. I love them. 'Nuff said.
[ Believe in witches? ]: I am a witch.
[ Believe in Satan? ]: I believe that consensus reality has created Satan, and he is as real as people believe him to be. Personally, I take the Satanist view of it, which is that Satan is an archetype whose name just happens to piss a lot of people off. Which makes him cool. ;)

[ You Hugged ]: Glenn

[ Talk To ]: Glenn... always
[ Have Sex with ]: Hmmmm... who DON'T I want to have sex with? But Glenn's on the top of the list. ;)
[ Kiss ]: See above
[ Be Like ]: Wow... there are a lot of people with some excellent qualities, which I admire, and sometimes try to emulate. Maybe Neale Donald Walsh, or someone like that. But, really, when it all comes down to it, I think I just wanna be like me. And that's a lot harder than you'd think. :)

BlogSpot Entry

Just FYI... I got a LiveJournal account, so I'll probably be posting back and forth, or maybe moreso over there. I'm gonna try to not abandon this one, though...

More Warnings

Some other stuff occurred to me. LJ has a few different functionalities than Blogger, which makes a few more warnings to those who are a bit sensitive potentially necessary.

Apparently, LJ has permission settings, and you can set different permissions for different levels of friends, or users, or whatever. Also, you can either post publicly, or privately, and you can give permission for certain other LJ users to view the private stuff. In Blogger, it was either public or private.

Anyway, I might as well just come out and say right now, that as far as my LJ (or Blogger) is concerned, it's ALL Public. And it's not always going to be kid-friendly. I may or may not choose to use the cut-tag functionality, but I get graphic and detailed when I feel like it. There's no such thing as TMI in my little world. And, as such, I should probably say that it's probably not a good idea for me to be on thewonderboy's friend list. Pity, really, since I added him to mine. But, I know elorie wanted to keep him from reading the kind of stuff I will undoubtedly put in here, which is cool.

So, that's it for now. I'll write more later, no doubt. I'll get into something meaty soon, I promise! :)

Opening the Floor

Stealing blatantly from fornorald and elorie, I'll open up the floor to questions, if anyone wants to know anything about me. Ask anything you like, just be aware that I'll answer it. My mother has learned not to ask me certain questions for that reason. ("Why in the world do you want to get your tongue pierced?")

But, have at it. :)

I'm a BAAAAAD Girlfriend

-Bad- You're the exact opposite of what any guy
wants or needs, unless he happens to need a
quick lay. You're cruel. You toy with people.
You're probably a bitch, and i don't think i'd
like you if i met you. Oh go screw a random
male already.

Sex Survey

Thanks to isarma for this one... thought it would break the ice. ;)


1. Had sex in three or more positions in one session? Of course
2. Had sex continuously for 1 hour or more? Oh, yeah... Mmmmm....
3. Devoted an entire day to sex and sexual activity (with breaks for eating,etc)? Once or twice... I miss those days :)
4. Been so loud having sex that people complained? On more than one occassion. Once I tried to keep quiet so I wouldn't wake the other people in the cabin, but it came out as squeaks, apparently. They called me Minnie Mouse for a while after that. ;)
5. Had your sexual technique/style/skill openly praised by someone? Often! Giving head is my specialty.
6. Brought your partner to orgasm using only your hands? Yes, but not often... I'm better with my mouth.
7. Had sex while both fully dressed? Yep... in a public park, in broad daylight.
8. Had sex while both standing up? Well, not penetration, so I would have to say no on this one... Unless being bent over the kitchen sink counts...
9. Performed oral sex on a man (fellatio)? As often as possible
10. Performed oral sex on a woman (cunnilingus)? No, but looking forward to trying.
11. Received oral sex from a man? Yep! :)
12. Received oral sex from a woman? Not yet.
13. Used position number 69? Sure
14. Intentionally swallowed semen (your own counts)? Absolutely. If you don't swallow, you're not that into it, and you have no business giving head. (Diseases notwithstanding - if you're afraid you're gonna catch something, you shouldn't be giving head, either.)
15. Had heterosexual intercourse using no birth control? Yes
16. Had sex during menstruation? Yes
17. Used whipped cream, chocolate syrup, etc... for sexual purposes? Yes
18. Used ice for sexual purposes? Yes
19. Completely shaved off your pubic hair? Yes, but it sucks when it grows back... now I use Nair... or, better yet, when I have the money, I get waxed.
20. Purchased a sex toy? Purchased, used, it's all good.
21. Inserted your finger into someone's anus? Yep
23. Performed anal intercourse on someone (on the giving end, toys count)? No, but probably gonna try that someday.
24. Received anal intercourse (receiving end, toys count)? Yep, toys and the real thing.
25. Used a vibrator or dildo on your partner, or had your partner use one on you? Yes
26. Been involved in use of a cock-ring? Once... didn't do much for me.
27. Been involved in use of a strap-on? No... those things are expensive... but someday, when I have more cash...
Y28. Participated in fist-fucking? I've tried... can never seem to take the whole thing. I'll get it right one of these days.
29. Contracted a venereal disease or STD? Chlamydia in college, either from a date rape situation, or a one-night-stand on Halloween. I'm glad I was shocked into safety with something that's curable. I've been clean ever since, and I'm careful now.
30. Given a sympathy fuck? Yeah... and then I ended up marrying him. Didn't last, though.
31. Forced or coerced someone having sex with you? Forced? I don't think so. I have read the signs, though, and taken advantage of someone who claimed to not wanna have some sort of sex with me, but I could tell different.
32. Had sex with a virgin? Yep
33. Paid for sex with a prostitute? No, they're expensive. I'd try it though, but in someplace like Nevada, where it's regulated.
34. Been involved in adultery? Yes, on my first husband with his best friend.
35. Had sex with your boss or teacher? Hmmm... not that I know of. But I propositioned my supervisor the other night. He turned me down. :(
36. Had sex with someone the same day you met them? Yes (see Halloween one-night-stand, above)
37. Had sex with someone whose name you did not know? Yes, at a gathering.
38. Been openly homosexual or bisexual? Depends on what openly is. I verbally say I'm bisexual, but haven't really gone all the way, so not sure if that counts. I've been openly fondling and kissing women at parties, though.
39. Had more than 10 sex partners? Ever? Yes. At a time? No.
40. Been in a threesome? Yes
41. Engaged in group sex (more than three people)? Well, not all of them were having sex with me, but I've definitely been in the middle of a bunch of people all having some form of sex, and was participating with the ones closest to me. I personally wasn't involved in actual intercourse, though, so not sure that counts.
42. Had sex in a public place? Yes, see above
43. Had sex in a car (moving or stationary)? Both, if oral sex and masturbation counts. If not, just in the stationary car.
44. Become a member of the mile high club? No, but it's on my list of To-Dos.
45. Had sex in the water (hot tub, shower, pool, etc)? Yes
46. Been walked in on while having sex? Ummm... probably... don't recall.
47. Had sex while you knew someone else was watching? Yes.
48. Engaged in bondage? Mmmmmmm... yesssss....
49. Engaged in "golden showers" (urinating)? No... not my thing. I've done it in cybersex, though, but that was a special case with a special person.
50. Have body piercing to enhance sexual pleasure? Yes; I got my tongue pierced, and had fun with it while it lasted, but when I wasn't giving head, it was bothersome, so I had it taken out.
