Interview!

January 13, 2009
In which I am interviewed by the lovely Miss KissThis:
1. What is the best gift you’ve ever been given, and why? And the worst?
The best gift I’ve ever been given, hands down, was a six-foot long, iron tipped spear from the mom of a friend for my college graduation. I majored in Classics, and this friend and I had a running joke about me doing all sorts of “classical” things like dressing up in armor and walking around campus (which I never did, by the way). His mom’s family runs a landfill, and someone apparently threw this awesome spear out, so she grabbed it and they gave it to me for graduation. They followed it up this past Christmas with a Greek-style bronze helmet! All I need now are greaves and I’ll be all set.
The worst gift… I dunno. Probably some generic bath products from someone who didn’t really put any thought into it. That happens a lot in middle school.

2. What is one sexual thing that you have never done but want to do?
This is going to sound totally lame, but the I really want to be able to spend the night with someone I’m in love with. With my ex, circumstances made is such that I could go over to his place and we’d have sex, but I’d always have to leave afterwards.

3. Pick one deceased famous person to bring back to life. Who are they, and why did you pick them?
Hmmm….I think I’d probably bring back Hammurabi. He was a total neurotic mess and micro-manager, which I think is hilarious. We’d probably get along really well.
Also possibly Aaron Burr. He was an alumnus of my university, and as we like to say there, “Alexander Hamilton had it coming.”

4. Describe the time and place of your best sexual encounter.
I lost my virginity at a conference, in a hotel room where the power had gone out. (The hotel was in Ohio, but that’s not all that great, haha.) My ex was very gentle and affectionate, and it was the nicest time I’ve ever had.

5. What is the very first website you check when you get online, and why?
I’d say the websites I check immediately (with the exception of my gmail, of course), are Shakesville and ThinkProgress. I’m an outspoken feminist and political news junkie, and during the election I was checking these sites (and others) literally every ten minutes.

Want to be part of it? Follow these instructions:
1. Leave me a comment saying, “Interview me.”
2. I will respond by emailing you five questions. I get to pick the questions.
3. You will update your blog with the answers to the questions.
4. You will include this explanation and an offer to interview someone else in the same post.
5. When others comment asking to be interviewed, you will ask them five questions.

Editor’s Pick

  • Fun Factory Laya Spot by Thursday’s Child

    • I think I might finally understand all of the buzz surrounding the Laya Spot! I’m a fan of strong vibrators, and most of the battery powered vibrators just can’t compare to my go-to vibrator, the Hitachi Magic Wand. But this funny little vibrator is strong! Really strong. And quiet, too!

Done-ish

January 12, 2009

Whew.  I’m not entirely finished (I still have an exam and a few more papers), but the big crunch is over and now everything can proceed at a more reasonable pace.  That means I’ll be able to get back to reviewing and posting more regularly (oh, and also finding a job for next semester…).

Thoughts

January 9, 2009

I’m taking a quick break from my papers. Whew. I’ve decided that my post-finals resolution will be to give my blog a visual overhaul. I’d like to make it look snazzier, maybe get my own domain. Mostly I just have to give myself something to look forward to so I get all my work out of the way.

I’ve also decided I’d like to do some more serious posts about PTSD and getting through my hangups about sex. Part of the point of me doing this is to help me get over stuff, and how better to get over things than by talking about them?

Anyway, just some thoughts. Back to papers.

Update: After deciding I’d be up pretty much all night writing, instead of working I took a 20 minute break, grabbed my Sharpies, and made myself this motivational sign (because I make poor life choices).  Eight hundred million points to whoever gets the reference. :)

Random fact about me: I’m obsessed with Sharpies.  Don’t ask why, because I have no idea.  But I love them.

So…clearly I don’t want to write any more papers

January 7, 2009

doublespace

So I’m going to post!  I’m in increasingly bad shape paper-wise, but for some reason it just isn’t bothering me all that much.

In other news, the lovely Miss KissThis bought me a Xtreme Pack G-Spot bullet, which I have been lusting after for months.  Basically, she’s awesome.  It should be here tomorrow and I’m *so* excited.

Also, I’ve been poking around on Eden to avoid doing real work, and I’ve come to realize that I really, really want a harness.  Specifically, the Jaguar harness.  Now, this is a little strange because I’m currently partner-less, and thus have no one to use it on.  But I’m just ridiculously attracted to the Jaguar: it looks so cool.  I don’t really know what I’d do with it at this point, but I want it.

Frustrated

January 6, 2009

So, I’m in the middle of finals. I only have one exam, on the 20th, so that’s no big deal. However, on the 12th, I have like, 8 pieces of written work due (three 5-7 pagers, 2 20-pagers, 2 10-pagers, and 1 of indeterminate length). Add to this the fact that I’ve been sick and horribly unproductive (because I’m asleep like, 14 hours a day and the rest of the time I can’t focus), and you get one cranky Toygirl. I should be panicking at this point, but I’m not, which is frustrating in and of itself because the panic makes you get more stuff done. Arrrgh.

Anyway, sorry to bitch. The next couple of days are not going to be fun, and my papers are not going to turn out well. Sigh.

Update:  Oh yeah, and a lot of what I’m working on has to do with Binding Theory.  Sadly, this is not as much fun as it sounds.

    Best Sex Toy Reviewers of 2008 Nominations!

    January 5, 2009

    Go forth and NOMINATE!


    Domina Doll and Scarlet Lotus Sexgeek are teaming up to put together the (first annual?) Best Sex Toy Reviewers List for 2008 which will be featured right here on Pleasurists!

    We know a lot of reviewers, but we don’t know all of you out there, so that’s where you come in! We have many reviewers in mind already, but we are also looking for nominations from you all to give us a good idea of who you think is fit to be on the list of the best sex toy reviewers of 2008!

    The nomination information:

    • You can’t nominate yourself, but feel free to (and please do!) re-post this on your blog, that way your readers may want to nominate you for the list.
    • If someone is already nominated you can nominate them as well. The nominations someone receives may factor in to the final listing, so nominate everyone, even if someone’s already mentioned them.
    • To qualify the person must have reviews up (well, obviously). Preferably multiple reviews not just one or two.
    • You can nominate as many reviewers as you’d like, but please keep in mind this is a list of the best of the best. So, try to give me the absolute best five or ten reviewers rather than a huge long list.
    • Nominations are open until January 25th and the list of reviewers will be posted January 31st.

    Nominate your choices in the comments of this post! Or, if you would prefer your nominations to be private feel free to send an email to scarletsexgeek at gmail dot com.

    Be sure to go leave nominations!
