I Have My Happy Dance Back

It has been quite a while since I've written and I kinda miss it. I took myself out of the kink world almost entirely for the last 3 months or so. Things got crazy with Christmas and New Years and lots of stressful conversations at home about poly living and having kids and buying a house. I had both parents in the hospital at one point and all sorts of other things. Soooo.....my mind has been occupied with big stressful adult stuff and my little hasn't been around very much.

Tom and I went to Arisia in January, which was awesome. It was a bit crazy but I still had a good time. I don't know what it is about this event but I really enjoy it and often find myself longing to go back. I love staying in that hotel and seeing all of the costumes and being around people without having to actually engage in any way. I ended up going to a lot of panels on parenting, which is what eventually led to the big life discussions at home. I learned a lot and had a lot of fun. I ended up getting my first ever corset, which I'm looking forward to wearing again this coming weekend. It's black with little flower designs. Hurray!

Despite not doing much blogging, I still have had a FEW "little" moments over the last 3 months. One day Daddy took me to the store and made me pick out some pretty duct tape. Then he put some stockings on my hands and covered them with the tape. This was surprisingly difficult for me to handle. Apparently I have some issues with restraint. Anytime Daddy binds me up in such a way that I can't get out if I wanted to, I start to panic. You can see in the picture that one hand is bound in a fist and one is not. I started to panic while Daddy was wrapping the tape around my fist so I begged him to let me keep my other hand open. Thankfully, he conceded. He keeps telling me that he's going to make me a set of jammies that I can't get out of. I have a habit of stripping whenever he dresses me in something. I'm curious about it but I'm also a bit nervous.



We've still been doing our monthly munches. We have one on the first Sunday of the month and one on the last Wednesday. We've had mixed luck. One time we had 8 people show up and many times we have had none. It's kind of sad because we're trying to form a nice community in our area but it's just not working. We've had a lot of individuals come to our munches but not many people return. I can't figure out why. If we knew the problem, we would fix it. The last munch was fun though. One person showed up and we ended up visiting the pet store and the hurricane machine.


On Saturday, Tom, his wife, and I all went to the Bronx Zoo. It was still pretty chilly but we had a lot of fun. Unfortunately, a lot of the animals were hidden away because their outdoor enclosures weren't suitable for them in the winter. We'll have to visit again in the summer. Hopefully my little will come out a little more than she did this time. I still enjoyed seeing some of the big birds, the sea lions, the tigers, and the giraffes though. It always amazes me how big some of these animals are. 



Yesterday was super duper awesome! Daddy made me sit in the back seat with the child lock on the doors when we were coming home from the munch. He also made me put my hair in pigtails. When we got home, he put me in a diaper and my little school uniform. We both had actual schoolwork to do so I sat on the floor next to his computer and we both worked away. Later in the evening, we had some adult fun. I found watching my pigtails bounce in front of me while being taken from behind to be super hot. *blushes*



This coming weekend is the littles invasion. I'm super excited! I decided on a St Patrick's Day theme so everyone should hopefully be wearing green. We're going to have a shamrock hunt (like an easter egg hunt) and who knows what else. We always have fun though. Sounds like there will be a lot of people coming. I have an awesome costume to wear and I'll definitely be taking pictures. I'm also going to be having some fun with Locke....needles and wrestling. I can't wait!

In the last couple of months, Daddy has read me a few stories. I love when he does this. It feels so warm and fuzzy.

And to finish, a leftover picture from Halloween that I never posted. Tom thinks it's creepy because of the fake smile. What do you think?

Arisia - A Different Kind of Ageplay

I ended up going to Arisia this past weekend. It was amazing! I really enjoyed the panels that I went to. Three of them were on polyamory, one was on fostering creativity in children, one was on the movie Inception, and one was on how to be a good panelist. We listened to music, we went swimming, we played Kobalds Ate My Baby.  We participated in the Rocky Horror Picture Show (which had to be started over 3 times) and Repo! The Genetic Opera. We had fun!

I particularly enjoyed being around all of the people. The people were fabulous! They were so down to earth and REAL. They were intelligent and fun and open minded. Their kids were happy and well adjusted. I loved learning about their lives and their interests. Great people. I think I fit in well with these people and I think they would fit in well with the ageplay community. That's all this event was, after all....play!

I also enjoyed seeing all of the different costumes and outfits and learning about different kinds of fandom. This was all so new to me. There are a million books that I want to read now. I learned about steampunk and dieselpunk. I learned about Victorian dress and LARPing. I saw people wearing masks and horns, dressed up as stormtroopers, teetering on stilts, and donning beautiful Victorian dresses. It was like candy for the eyes.

Going to this event was like peeling back another layer of my personality. I discovered new interests and new ideas that fit me well. I feel even more solid and grounded in who I am. With each new level of self-discovery, I become more confident and content with my life. It's such a wonderful feeling.
