Litiquette3

[Endless_Night]

Strolls in late, class is not cancelled.

I'll leave just an opened ended topic: in 50 words or less tells us "What Lit means to me?"

The difference between is and means is subtle, but I’ll go ahead and give this a shot:

To me, Lit means freedom to explore my not entirely politically correct sexual interests. It means convenience, because I can do the above curled up on the bed in a nightshirt and panties! Perhaps most importantly, it means self-realization, the knowledge that I’m not strange or damaged, just kinky.

50 words on the nose!

Yes, EN. I'm using your answer. Except, I don't wear nightshirts.

[Misshotndeep]

I would love to know who that one is. I would call them Syible.

*giggling hysterically*

Guilty as charged. *attempting to look contrite, failing miserably*

Besides, I don't want to be redundant. I would have said the same exact thing.

 

[SweetSam42]

For me, Lit means attention and escapism.

Did I answer that right?

 

[sweetsophie512]

I guess we'll never know, will we? *grin*

That falls right up there with how many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie-Pop.

Life is about discovery, whether it's counting licks or crossing items off bucket lists. Some are driven by it, some are consumed, while others simply drift along and take what comes their way. Are you driven/consumed by what you want from life or donyou take what life gives you? And why?

Counting licks? That’s funny; a Tootsie Pop was furthest from my mind.

There are times when I have been and still do become consumed by things that I want from life. I know that this precious life I have been gifted with is a one-shot deal.

With that said, I am still very much a take what life gives me kind of person. I have often wondered if this is something that will change with the coming years, as I am just now on the brink of 40 years old. I have spent my entire life living for others, even in childhood.

And, really, I don’t see it as “taking” what life gives me as much as I do “accepting” what life gives me. To me, “taking” just makes one seem powerless while “accepting” makes one all powerful. I’m much more of an idealist with very strong faith than I am a realist, so I believe that anything life has given has been for a reason and that I am only in control of a very, very tiny part of it. I don’t carry the strong belief that you are entirely in control of your destiny like I know many people here in my part of the world do.

This is not to say that one of these years I won’t become entirely selfish, buy myself a one-way ticket to The Caribbean, get a job making just enough to feed myself and buy a few sundresses, and live my days out in the sun and sand, on a boat, in pure bliss.

I'm aggressive in many ways. As far as career goes, I am pretty driven and I have my goals and what have you. Those of you who have talked with me know if my two wank per day goal at work. This is critical to my career path.

I can do both sides of the coin though. I can be laid back and free or I can be uptight and driven. It really depends on the situation. I think controlling certain aspects of my life is beneficial. I think controlling all aspects of my life is harmful and I could really make myself crazy trying to control that.

i think it's around 1237-1317 licks something like that

Identities

One Lit identity..I see no point in having more than that.

I’m driven, occasionally bordering on the consumed. Once my attention is captured, or I’ve set a goal I tend to be rather mono-focused. I’m like a dog with a bone, I worry at it, sniff it, paw it, snoot it from all angles, bury it, and roll around on it before I decide to crunch. And that’s when the real work begins! Seriously though, I often get so bogged down in the journey I’m in danger of not reaching the endpoint.

I’m also…just not that trusting that life has by best interests at heart, I guess. My life outlook probably sits the fence between realistic and pessimistic. People who know me might not agree with that statement. Whatever.

I’m not really sure whether pushing or accepting are entirely inborn or learned behaviors. On the whole, my nature is open and trusting, but I learned quite young that I needed to take care of myself. Perhaps that’s what makes it so hard for me to submit to what life offers.

Or maybe I’m just naturally the driven, goal-oriented sort.

And apparently quite self-absorbed! Three paragraphs starting with the word I'm.

Hey now! Let's lean more towards "has a tendency to overshare when faced with an opportunity for self reflection"

ETA: And sexual innuendos.

I cant believe that. Not from innocent lil ol you.

I know, I know! I should really be self reflecting about my lack of self control but SOMEONE broke my mirror!

Hi Love

 

[All_4_Love]

Hi Love

Oh my gosh! Munky! Hi Munky!

How I've missed you, Munky. You were, and always will be, my first love.

I said my first love, not husband! I'm going to refrain from counting those, okay?

Oh, I just remembered, we never actually wed. How quickly I forgot how you broke my heart. You just show up and I take leave of all my senses.

Yes, and I'm on a crash course for another derail.

I'm sorry, Chained.

I have the right to remain silent and I will do so starting now.

 

[GiggLeGasm]

I'm confused.

Life is a lot like this thread. A topic gets out there and based in interpretation, the thread starts its daily wandering. He action predicated upon the previous action. At the end of the day the final thread is typically far removed from the original topic. And that's how life should be, no one really wants it totally prescribed.

So today is a challenge rather than a question. Do something that isn't typical for you and enjoy the path it takes you down. Then, of course, report back and tell us all about it...

This may not be quite what Papa Chained is asking, but I'm looking to learn the cello. I've been researching instruments and I'm looking to buy one. It's a new venture for me. I play a few other stringed instruments and have been since I was pboy (as opposed to pmann), but not a cello.

These things are pricey as hell and I'm not exactly sure what to look for. But, it's an interesting new thought to say the least. Hopefully I can find what's right for me and go for it.

Maybe in six months time I'll report back as Yo Yo Ma's replacement.
