I like it when it’s casual.
When the ropes don’t match.
Or half of it is found objects: scarves, belts, whatever’s within reach.
There’s something really intimate about that, about how we can make do and still happen it happen.

I had some really cool plans set up for the beginning of October, but I recently decided to back out of them because of some of the demands of my schedule.
Which sucks, because I really wanted to spend time with a certain special person and I’ve got some severe fomo about the whole thing.
And while I know it’s probably a good decision in the long-run and (hopefully) a rain-check is possible, I hate when I’ve gotten all excited about something (I was counting down the days) only to have it not pan out.
Blah.
I’ve got a cute new blindfold from my Daddy.
Messy girls are pretty girls, even if they are a little bashful about it.
For the past week or so, I’ve basically had this thing running on a queue. Because my life’s been pretty hectic, but in a lot of good ways. I graduated, moved home for the summer and just about none of that has even begun to sink in.
So, I hope you’ve all been well and I promise to be more of a presence around here once reality catches up with me.
Kinky
Now don’t flinch, dear.
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
Confession: Sometimes, I’m only wearing my sexy undergarments because I’m too lazy to do laundry and wash my everyday ones.
Thank you guys for the advice you’ve been sending. I promise to get back to you soon, this week’s just a little crazy.
I should elaborate that Craftsmate and I are honestly mostly vanilla, go on vanilla dates, don’t wind up with his finger up my butt in public places, etc. We’ve got most of it sort of confined to the bedroom but we sort of want to expand out a little bit without going all naked on a leash. And so we’re sort of trying to negotiate what we want stuff to “look like.”
But, yes, thank you for your messages. They’re all very sweet and it’s wonderful to know I can totally take relationship advice from people on the Internet (look, Mom).
Now, ugh, to make myself sleep.
