Sometimes treating yourself is watching the progression of bruises so you can prove to yourself you are a badass. 

Ivy, I love your blog, I love how you challenge yourself to grow and share and explore. If I can be be half as brave I’d think I was doing pretty good. 

<3

Omg, @confidentialcupcake, you are a badass! (Bad pun bad pun unintentional but I’m sticking with it.) This is definitely treating yourself.

Hey, confidentialcupcake. Is this how you’re going to greet your guests?

Because otherwise you’d kind of be super rude.

Facts and Q&A and other stuff I’ve been tagged in

Standard

Interrupting the blushy posts for a few answers to questions from nankingdecade (who I just discovered prefers redheads even though both of his partners are dirty blonde :P) and the lovely confidentialcupcake.

But first, some facts as requested by hisprerogative, who now owes me a drink (and maybe some more pizza).

  1. Sir and I keep a googledoc to manage tasks, rewards and punishments. No, you people cannot have the link.
  2. I almost bought a $7 wedge of cheese with blueberries in it and even though I know it’s illogical, I am still regretting not saying fuck to the haters and just getting it. 
  3. For the past four years, I’ve only bought/worn a certain cut of jeans in just about every wash I could get. They have a really coincidental/hilarious name. (Also they’re on sale now! – I promise this isn’t an endorsement, haha.)
  4. Tumblr has honestly helped me to love my body and appreciate the range and beauty of the human body in general.
  5. I’m seriously considering getting my nipples pierced with bars maybe in the winter.

Nankingdecade’s:

1. In a few sentences, who are you and what do you stand for?
My first attempt at writing this ended up with me accidentally replicating my tagline from Twitter nearly word for word. So, the best I can come up with that won’t lead to my vanilla personality is: I’m a tough cookie and an over-committer. Lately, my whole thing is say what you mean but don’t be a dick about it. I still don’t like onions.

2. Name at least two of your vices.
Besides the numerous ones I mention on tumblr (trying not to be redundant here): Diet Coke. Mid-day naps that mess up my sleep cycle. Bonus third to drive Sir crazy: Raw cookie dough. 

3. What is a favorite memory from your childhood?
A theme park 45ish minutes from my home snapped my photo when I was like nine and asked to use it for promotional materials. I could apparently either get paid money or have free access to the park (including some meal vouchers and other random crap) all season. My parents let me pick. I basically spent a whole summer at a theme park with various friends/relatives/babysitters. It was pretty sweet. 

4. Pick your poison.
Gin or white wine.

5. Do you have a favorite author?
Tons. Right now, if I had to pick, maybe Jennifer Egan.

6. Tell me one time you felt really badass.
I once negotiated a salary up to double the initial offer.

7. What is one thing (either sexual or non-sexual) you’re ashamed to admit you like?
Sexual: Consensual misogyny. Nonsexual: The Bachelorette. 

8. What is one thing you would have done differently in the last year if you were given the opportunity to do it again?
I would have worried a lot less about money. 

9. How “out” are you to your friends and family about your alternative lifestyle?
I kind of consider myself having three closets: sexual orientation, kink and poly. I’m out to just about everyone about being queer. I’m out to my mother and a small handful of my friends about being kinky, but on a very mild level. I’m out to just about no one besides my partners and a few trustworthy friends about being poly.

Cupcake’s:

1. Are you close with your family?
I am very close with most of my immediate family, but I am not close with my extended family.

2. Do you have a crush currently?
I think I manage to develop a new crush once a week. 

3. If aliens came to Earth and asked you to visit their planet, would you go?
Nah, long trips make me nauseous. 

4. Do you like astrology?
To the point that it is silly and fun.

5. What’s your favourite comfort food?
Pizza.

6. Exhibitionist or voyeur? 
(Shy) exhibitionist. 

7. Tell me about a recent orgasm.
Saving that for the final post of blushy day. Kind of. You’ll see. 😉 

8. Tell me a secret.
I’m usually not wearing a bra. 

9. Puppies or kitties?
KITTIES.

— 

Got facts? Share ‘em and tag it “thinkivykink.” I track that tag and I always want to get to know followers and you all are a shy bunch usually until you go on anon and then turn into freaking gremlins. 

Want to answer questions? Here’s 9. Answer ’em, tag me. You know the drill.

Seriously, even if we’ve never spoken. Just do it.

1. Would you rather be famous while you were alive or have the things you did while you were alive and relatively unknown continue to be relevant long after you’d passed?

2. Is there something you used to do ten years ago that you wished you still did now? A hobby, a habit, a catchphrase, etc.

3. What are three words the person who knows you best would use to describe you?

4. Do you prefer cooking, eating at a restaurant or ordering in?

5. Name one habit you wish you could pick up and one habit you wish you could break. 

6. Are you content? Is that a good or a bad thing?

7. If there were no negative repercussions, would you rather star in your own porno or star in your own burlesque show?  

8. You can only eat one food, read one book, listen to one song and watch one movie or television program for the rest of your life. What are they?

9. Do you have any weird talents?

Mr. Deen is the most hard-working orderly at the Institute for Lost Girls. Bless him.

This Institute sounds relevant to my interests

Psst. Cupcake. 

Let’s share a cell.

Thought I would post some outtakes from the time I made something for the Heart’s Submission game

!!!!!!

Wom-Answers.

Standard

Has anyone seen the show Manswers? Well, it ticked me off that there was no Womanswers. Girl Code comes pretty close, though.

This post has nothing to do with that otherwise.

I’m finally answering the sets of questions asked by citrustree and confidentialcupcake. So, here goes.

From citrustree (blah tumblr deleted these when I hit publish!):

1. What’s your guilty pleasure?

Keeping Up with the Kardashians. Consider me fully kept up.

2. What’s your unhealthy / unproductive self-soothing technique?

Unhealthy: candy corn. I know, I know, the world’s supply was probably all made in like 1983 and now just gets distributed every year around Halloween out of some massive warehouse but I like it a lot. Unproductive: Masturbation.

3. Why tumblr?

It’s a nice place to reflect and explore. It makes me feel a little less weird and a little more awesome.

4. Have you ever made someone breakfast in bed after the first time you’ve banged them and what did you make?

Nope. But I make a mean omelet if you play your cards right in the future.

5. Last book you read?

Then We Came to the End by Joshua Ferris.

6. Favorite outfit and why

I have this really cute brown/blue/green romper that I wear with these cute green flats that tie at the ankle.

7. Were you an easy child to  raise? Why / why not?

Yes and no. I was very well-behaved but I got sick a lot.

8. What annoys you / turns you off in a first date / first  real meeting type of a situation?

Unabashed misogyny and unbearable body odor.

9. What’s the best way to woo you.

Flowers, pizza, intelligent conversation.

10. Favorite sappy romance film?

When Harry Met Sally. Also, Somewhere in Time.

11. Three songs you want them to play at your funeral.

This is a really good question! I’ve never given it any consideration. Maybe Nico’s “The Fairest of the Seasons.” Richie Havens’ cover of “Just Like a Woman.” And maybe Sinatra’s “My Way.”

From confidentialcupcake:

1. Dogs or cats?

Mostly cats, but I want a very large, very docile dog in my life. I grew up around one and he was the best.

2. Last meal?

Shumai and sushi with a good friend. It was a specialty roll with mango and salmon and avocado and yum.

3. Book that always makes you cry?

The Velveteen Rabbit. The part of Hard-boiled Wonderland and the End of the World with the skulls and then again when he’s in the car. The end of The God of Small Things.  

4. Most embarrassing memory?

I bought a dress without trying it on and threw it on one morning and went to school when I was in a hurry. It was my senior year of high school. I discovered, upon writing something on the blackboard in math class in front of the whole class, that it was basically see-through when I stood right under the light. I’ll only wear it with a slip now.

5. Tumblr crushes?

Herdirtylittleheart, montecervesa, whyexactly, brightswitch, gallifreyansub, kinkycasey, myanonymouslair, citrustree, sansshame and some kid called nanking-decade.

6. Most hated celebrity and why?

Ugh, I guess TSwift. But I kind of pity her more than I hate her.

7. Are you Little/into Littles?

Hehe, yeah, I’m Little.

8. Boobs or butt?

Boobs on girls, butts on guys. But actually.

9. Do any people in your life know about your Tumblr?

My boyfriend, my therapist, an ex, a few close friends.

10. What bdsm role do you prefer? (pet/Dom/top etc)

Sub, pet, kitty, sweetheart.

11. Number 1 ship?

Me and my old pal pizza. I’m saying that counts as a fandom.
