Litiquette VII

[SassySheDevil]

Well!
I see I have some catching up to do! Missed you all! Some primo questions up there^ that I’ll hafta get to sometime.

Back from a week in the middle of real actual nowhere. Trekka’s Family Circus Redneck Vacay was smashing success. With muddy ATV rides, peeing in the woods, playing with fire, all the trappings.
Learned something tho: I absolutely suck at riding a horse! (I’ve always said I’m a shitty Femme Domme, perhaps a related issue?)

So my question...
When you discover something you can’t do well, does it inspire you to want to learn it better? Tackle and master it? Or do you move it along and just accept mediocrity without incident? Do you wear the subpar performance like a badge of honor? Like Bart Simpson’s “Underachiever and Proud of It” stance?

Coz I’m so damn competitive I’m about this close to signing myself up for riding lessons.

First time is always the worst.. Depending on how you rode. You could be a little sore in some fun places for a bit
Once you learn balance and how to use your leg muscles, it gets a lot more comfy.



I don't like to be competitive. So if I'm not good at it. It depends on how much I enjoy it, or want to do it. I don't need to master it, just because I sucked at it. But if it was fun. I'll do it.
Dancing. I grew up doing different types. I truly have no rhythm though. But give me a good vacuum (Stripper pole) and no audience, and I fucking love it.
I (back in the olden days) was really good at gymnastics. But getting old and fat.. *sad* I'm still flexible. But I'm also scared of heights now. So getting me on uneven bars or a balance beam and I'd cry now lol
I've had to accept that some things just change.

Ok, a late Friday night question here.

If you came with a warning label, what would it be? >

Several come to mind, but let's go with: Not for the faint of heart.


On sooooo many levels.

Depends. If something catches my attention I’ll do whatever it takes to become at least reasonably competent. After which I often as not lose interest.

Otherwise? Eh. I have zero attention span for things that don’t strike me as interesting.

Competition isn’t a factor. Not my thing. At least, not towards others. I can, and often do, feel competitive towards myself. I’ll drive myself to achieve…well, whatever, but it’s not tied to a compulsion to outpace anyone else.

I don’t feel sexually competitive towards other woman, either. Which seems to be something of an oddity?


Vacation in the middle of nowhere? *swoons*

Warning Label: Caution Curves

Competitive: Yes - but, depending on the challenge, I may decide to lose

Depends! Is it something totally outside my wheelhouse? I'm not a distance runner and that's fine.
I can't cook like a top chef and that's no bother, I'm not any kind of chef, although I do like to cook well. I couldn't write a decent novel, and that's no big deal. I'll never win a trivia quiz, not a problem.

Other things? Certain exercises? Elements of my job where my skills are weak? I'm super competitive with myself there, and I'll go until I hit my goal.

 

[hotwords229_A]

I will admit that if I’m fed up with someone and I feel they deserve to be taken down a peg because they’re being an ass, that will bring out my competitive spirit. But most of the time, I’m pretty relaxed about competition.

This is my answer too. Competitive people can make me competitive but not so I can win as much as to make them lose.

Sexybritches on the swim team has me all befuddled and I can’t remember the rest of the question.

I can show you how to post, dress you in breeches and tights. My riding lessons are free too.
Yeah, you’ll look damn cute.

I’m competitive if it’s an interest, realistic and something I’ll keep at for sometime.
Not one to one-up anyone just for the sake of it. But I’ll push and one-up myself all the time.
I’m okay with being mediocre in some areas of my life - that’s just how it goes.

 

[Trekka]

@SMN- Your riding lessons, when and where? Done.

Alright.
Question.
Drums fingers.
Everyone remember the olden days of having houseguests? Breathing air together with reckless abandon? Well sometimes they do weird stuff, don’t they? Spoiler alert: my answer involves Velveeta cheese...

What’s the weirdest thing a guest has ever done at your house?

 

[Trekka]

^^That’s crazy!! I had not heard that story before.
I do enjoy the mental image of a buncha guys reeking of sex lacing up their boots tho and getting ready to *cough* subdue... anything.

My story is that my folks had to fire a babysitter once who stole - of all things! - a brick of Velveeta cheese from my mom’s pantry! —> pales in comparison to group sex gone awry.

But it was pretty odd to peer into the sitter’s purse and see Velveeta cheese. And the next day, when my mom went to cook with it, and couldn’t find it, I was all “I SAW CHEESE IN MISS KAREN’S PURSE!”

Like, who steals Velveeta?!

 

[Endless_Night]

The weirdest - and most horrifying - incident I can recall is friends coming to stay a few days who ordered a pizza one evening. There were leftovers. Which they ate in the morning. After leaving it out on top of the fridge overnight. Something it seems they did regularly.

*gags*

Obviously this is NOTHING compared to post-orgiastic meltdowns or Velveeta thievery.

I once had a friend take a shit in my shower...

Like, why?

Another friend jumped down my laundry chute, freaked out mid fall and grabbed the edge of the ceiling as she landed in the laundry. She tore off half the sheetrock in the room. I couldn't be mad though. It was my idea.

My dog took a shit in the puppy pool at my friend’s house. I find that equally rude.

But I only recently learned people urinate in the shower. And masturbate. So it seems I really don’t understand the function of showers so what do I know.

 

[alwaysaway]

Brought a friend/date home and she immediately starts reorganizing my bathroom. Like...why? It was perfect (and, don't worry, CLEAN) as is. "No you gotta have this here...and this HERE..." She was a strange one. Lol

This is only acceptable if your toilet roll is on the wrong way.

 

[tnman03]

This is only acceptable if your toilet roll is on the wrong way.

And there's actually a wiki page on the roll direction.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toile...le hold strong opinions about which is better.

As for weird or bazaar thing a house guest has done? That would have been trying to feed a large aquarium full of expensive tropical fish. The problem was it wasn't something good for the fish or the filtration system. That ended my hosting any further parties.

Haha, but please don’t try and shit in a bottle. That’s how you end up in the ER.

Oh, I misheard the directions..... You wanted a Ship in a bottle.... Here, let me have that back

That is not how you do it. That’s disgusting. So unclassy.

You do it IN the ocean.

Ghosting
Haunting
The Slow Fade

We’ve all been there. Probably done something of the sort once or twice. It can be common in the online fantasy fuckland world, the RL dating scene...

But when people you’ve been friends with suddenly start to treat you like a stranger, or interact only minimally with you, is there a term coined for that situation? What’s the protocol there?

Also, this list of new words has been brought to my attention... and some of them gave me a good laugh and/or eye roll. —> enjoy and comment as you see fit.

^^^^
Oh! Oh! I have things to say!

In a bit.

When I have more time.



Tator Tot. I might have snorted my coffee.

Aaaaaaaaaand, now I want a kitten!

 

[Richard_C]

As a general rule, I'm not a fan of ghosting and such. I'm single and dating and there's a better deal a swipe away. So, that's been frustrating to say the least!

However, in regard to friends, man life happens, we grow older, we evolve. Some of my friendships are not as engaging as they once were, but it doesn't mean they're totally out. Generally, once you're in with me, you're in. My door is always open even if we haven't talked in years!

Also, good people are the salt of the earth! I embrace them with open arms regularly! In a pandemic world, be good to each other and look out for your neighbors!
