Guys. I’m bursting at the seams. 

I don’t want to be a show-off or ridiculous or stress out my friends applying to grad schools, so I’m keeping it quiet around Ivy University.

But I’ll say it here:

I got into my top grad school.

So, the adventure continues. I’m going to a strange, new place, in a part of the country where I have never been, where I know virtually no one for two years. I’m still in shock and I still cannot believe the exciting direction my life has suddenly taken.

Thank you for your support, your kind asks while I was all stressed out and for being (without consenting – oops) the ear that I can shout this good news into.

<3, Ivy

True story: I think about being the party bitch sometimes. Having things served off of me, carrying trays, being forbidden from wearing a single stitch of clothing. I’d simultaneously enjoy and despise being left to the whims of a nicely dressed, otherwise bored gathering of people.

I like the implication involved in a harness. Under the clothes, just barely felt, it serves as a nice little reminder.

Yes, it’s past my bedtime.

Yes, I’d probably blush and cry if this happened.

And, yeah, I sort of kind of want it.

30 Day Music Challenge, Day 5 – A Song That Needs to be Played Loud

Standard

“One of Us Cannot Be Wrong” – Leonard Cohen.

So, it doesn’t seem like it at first, right?

But if you’re not yelling along at the end, you’re doing it wrong.

For something to yell to the whole way through and a really gorgeous video, look here.

For something easy to blast in the car, look here.

@research purposes: that looks like it was a devonshire video, by or produced by Simon Devon. She was one of the early bondage sites on the web back in 1998 to mid 2000’s I think. They closed down a number of years ago. I vaguly remember they posted something on their page about the trouble of running the site and dealing with keeping minors and other issues in check just wasn’t worth it, but I might be wrong about that. Her things float round tumblr and the web to this day.

So, thanks for being amazing and stuff.

So, ah, if anybody could point me in the direction of where this is from, that would be great.

Because, um, I wouldn’t be completely opposed to watching it.

You know, for research purposes.

For a certain bunny I know who reassures me that people are dumb and we’re awesome.

30 Day Music Challenge, Day 4 – A Song That Reminds You of Someone You Would Rather Forget About

Standard

It’s hard, because I constantly say that I don’t want to forget any experience or cast it aside because it helped shape me into the person I am today. Even if that is a person who stops and says, “fuck that. I’m never doing that shit again.”

But, here’s what I have to offer:

“Rolling in the Deep” – Adele.

I had gotten back from one of probably the most emotionally fucked up nights of my life. It was one of those situations that it honestly takes time for you to process and really chew and say that what had happened was severely fucked up. It has, since, helped me articulate my needs and really understand my self-respect.

To add to the fucked-uped-ness, the involved stated over and over how profound and deep the experience was. 

Honestly, the only thing profound and deep about it was the degree to which it was fucked up.

But, at the time, I was a mess of confusion and feelings. I had been driven home and it was one of the true instances when I felt profoundly alone. I turned my Pandora on and this song came on and it just cut deep. I hadn’t begun to fully process, but the song somehow struck the right chord. 

For another song I’ll be releasing to the universe, go here.

And for one I’m reclaiming because fuck that, go here.
