I am going to start filtering some of my more private musings. Since blogger does not have a tool for that, you will need to visit my Live Journal and ask to be friended there. I will continue to post Daily Gratitude and other subjects here. There is also a FAQ for my Journal at the same link.
what a rush
| Wednesday, June 30, 2004 @ 07:18 We had a wonderful time hosting Mistress Blair and puppy. Watching them together was a little like watching ourselves in that she is a female Master and he is a slave boy. We don’t know anyone else in the same configuration. And there is obviously a very strong emotional bond between them that, while rooted in their dynamic, goes beyond it. I do hope they decide to move here, because having them around is good for us in so many different ways. Of course, if they end up in Denver, that will be fine. I certainly understand the need to find the place that feels like home for you and how uneasy life can be if you’re in the wrong city/town/village. I want them to find some peace of place, and Denver is much closer for traveling both directions than New York! I don’t know how much I’m going to write about the weekend. After five days of limited computer access (remember the office is the guest room and we didn’t want to intrude on their space too much), it feels odd to be sitting here. And I get screen-weary much faster. Plus, I broke down and we installed digital cable on Saturday, so what’s the point of staring at this screen when we have dozens of new-to-us channels, including six premium movie networks? I did want to write about one thing that happened over the weekend. It didn’t involve our guests and it didn’t involve play or sex or anything exciting. It was just a request made to me Sunday evening by a woman I barely know. She came up to me at the dungeon as we were waiting for Blair & puppy and asked me to consider representing our community by running for the Southwest Master and slave title in December. Now, this isn’t the first time this idea has raised its head. I have actually discussed the possibility of running “someday” more than once with boy --very early on in our relationship, too. My conclusion has been that I’m not the right personality to be that “on” in public and it would be a very draining experience. Last month, however, the current International Master and slave, Master Z and slaveboy tony, were speaking at APEX. During the socializing time, Master Z stated that there hasn’t been a Female/female Master and slave title holder, hinting that we should consider running. That was quite a jolt coming from someone I’d only met once (during last year’s Southwest Master and slave contest). Then to have someone ask me directly using the word “represent” and to realize that there are people in our local community who would like us to represent them was quite a surprise - and an honor. (I didn’t think people would start asking us until the fall and then I assumed they would ask if we wanted to, not say they wanted us to represent them!) I doubt you’ll hear we’re running this year. Maybe in another year or two, I’ll want the experience. I know there is a travel fund so that we don’t have to worry about expenses, but there are hidden costs: meals for picky vegetarians and slaves who are allergic to almost anything served in restaurants, clothing for Masters who don't own leather and don't have textile fetishes, missed work, health concerns, maintenance of the animals at home, the emotional stresses on boy, the issues I have with being a “cheerleader” in large groups. I have a great deal of respect for the Master and slave titles because they are educational. It’s not about looking good naked and having a hot fantasy; it’s about representing the M/s life to the rest of the community, and believe me, a lot of the wider community still has some odd ideas of what M/s is. Being able to connect with a wider geography of M/s people would be wonderful too. I make no assumption that competing in the Southwest contest would result in our winning nor that winning that would make the International title a given. I’ve listened to past Southwest contestants (both winners and runners up) and they all talk about how good the experience was for them as individuals and for their relationship. It would be good for us in many ways, but I can think of a number of couples I know, in Colorado and Nevada as well as Arizona, who would be excellent representatives for this year’s title and would stand a good chance of continuing the current run of the Southwest title holders going on to win the International title. Right now, my focus is on tightening the structure of my relationship while searching for our third person. I’m also developing several programs for us to present at future events. There are many ways to give back to our community besides running for a title and, for now, I’m happy pursuing those. Whether that lays a groundwork for me committing to run sometime in the future, we will just have to wait and see. It is, however, quite an honor to be asked.
