Litiquette VII

[Trekka]

It's hard to smooth that skirt out with a candy bar crammed in your crack, slick.

That’s why I’ve got you, wing woman! Help a girl out, here. Eat it, and fast!

 

[QuietCanadian]

Would it be wrong to make popcorn?

 

[Trekka]

Would it be wrong to make popcorn?

Depends. What’s it topped with?

 

[Orchidea73]

Maneuvers!
What rocks your boat?
Like when I’m on top of a man and he suddenly turns the tables, and rolls me over till he’s on top of me. A show of strength, dominance, rawr. Rocks my world. Or someone gently cupping my face with their hands. Purrs like a kitten....

So, not sexual positions. But moves! Maneuvers!
Which ones drive you wild?

Anything that shows strength and can overpower me. I'm kinda of a "fighter" in bed, so I need to be TAKEN!

 

[SMNaughtywife]

Depends. What’s it topped with?

White cheddar. I’ll answer for him.

Maneuvers, let see.
A hand in my hair and pulling me close will certainly start things off.
Slides it around to my throat and you definitely have my attention.
And a touch of pain to know that I’m not in control will have me quite complaisant.
Bonus for filthy talk growled in my ear.

And for today -

Do you think it’s scarier to think about how much of our life is formed by things that are out of our control, or how much of our life is formed by things that are within our control?
Discuss.

White cheddar. I’ll answer for him. .

Does this mean we're sharing? I'm 100% OK with this.


Now the question... I think how much of it is, at least for me. I've learned to let go (mostly) of the things I cannot control, so I fear them less. That's always a work in process though.

I'm reminded of the great quote, which I'll paraphrase, that our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate, but that we are powerful beyond all measure. That, to me at least, speaks to how sometimes I don't like to think about how much control I really have, how much I can really influence, or do what I want. That can be frightening if you let it.

Popcorn?

 

[hotwords229_A]

I’m thinking the out of control stuff isn’t really that scary. If I’m going to be hit with a meteor there isn’t much I can do about that.

However, if I’m in control? If people are counting on me? If I need to not screw up?
That can be a little scary.

 

[Portobelllobelle]

The out of my control stuff is a ‘insomnia has kicked in, My brain has decided to give me anxiety over things I can do nothing about’ issue. Day to day, does not effect me as much, be a good person, try to make the world better where ever I can.

Where I have control, I think HW below me has it right, it’s about wanting to be the best I can, so those in my sphere know I can be counted on. Day to day, this is what shapes my world.

The only thing anyone has control of, is how you respond.

Thinking about things out of my control is definitely scarier.

I know anything in my control won't cross certain lines, but something out of my control can be horrific.


I trust myself more, than I trust what others do

 

[Endless_Night]

Personally, I'm in the things-that-are-out-of-my-control-is-terrifying camp.

However, make that the within-our-control camp when it comes to other people. I've seen far to many situations where one set of circumstances resulted in extreme variations of choice and behavior.


Also, this:

The only thing anyone has control of, is how you respond.

And this:

< I trust myself more, than I trust what others do

 

[QuietCanadian]

It's a great Broken Bells song though.

 

[Trekka]

I get very cranky when it’s raining things-I-can’t-control.
But, there’s a LOT I can’t control. So I gotta un-crank.
Like, 99.1% of everything on earth I can’t control.
.7% of life I can control.
The other .2% is either unicorn trails or dark matter science isn’t sure yet but personally I’m hoping it’s mermaid song.

Who had dreams last night?
I dreamt I was diving with whales! *squee*
Feelin like the sandman gifted me with good dreams last night.
What’s the last dream you can remember having that was really good?

 

[Endless_Night]

I was walking in a wood with a companion. Tall, dense trees, parked out with well-defined winding paths. It was cool. The light was dusky, and occasional shafts bounced gently on the mossy ground at our feet. Conversation was desultory. Our pace steady, but also idle. There was no hurry, no endpoint in mind. I remember feeling a deep sense of peace and security.

And then I orgasmed. Hard. Completely out of the blue during a nonsexual dream. I woke shaking. My belly still clenching and heat searing down my inner thighs.

That was nearly two and half years ago, yet I remember every detail.

Strange stuff.



I now go to relax with Llamageddon (2015).

Which I suspect may result in an entirely different type of dream.

I'm really good hiking partner, what can I say?

You quiet ones.

So dangerous.

 

[hotwords229_A]

Last night I have a vague memory of dreaming that I stole a car and was doing some cool stunt driving.

One of the best dreams I remember I was swimming naked with two hot Farmer’s Daughters—you know, the super horny ones . It was one of those dreams I could actually feel.

 

[Portobelllobelle]

I do remember last nights, rather ridiculous, I was cooking omelets for everyone, out of nowhere my wife says ‘you used all the eggs!!! What now!!!’ Some sort of dream conflict happened from there. No idea where this came from, usually I can piece together what my subconscious was pulling from but this was out of left field.

As for a more fun dream, last week I had one about my neighbor down the street, but it was another weird one. IRl we are friends, hang out often, in the dream we were talking about ‘the bachelor’ idk, don’t judge me. And after our discussion decided that the 2 of us had to go fuck, not one that I recall a ton of details, but that was vivid, makes me smile when I’m walking the dog by and say hello, lol.

 

[QuietCanadian]

I seem to be dreaming more often these days, but normally I don't remember them. I'll wake up in the middle of the night and at that point remember, but then I fall back asleep and forget. Or maybe it was all a dream.

And now I have Biggie in my head.

 

[aussiegeekygal]

I don't remember my dream from last night which is strange, because I've been having some crazy good ones. All those hormones are good for that.
Man, when I started antidepressants the dreams were out of this world and vivid. I would wake up confused because they were so real and challenged my understanding of reality.
I don't have a "best" dream to note but I do have the most memorable dream story to share:
Back when I was dating my first boyfriend I had a really believable dream where I dreamt I cheated on him with one of his friends. To make it even more confusing, the friend was not at all attractive to me. He was also my friend before I met boyfriend but there was definitely nothing ever lustful about our relationship (at least on my side). That morning I woke up and went about my day absolutely devastated about myself. I called my boyfriend in tears apologizing for such an epic lapse in judgement. He was so confused and thankfully had a really open mind when I later told him I realised it was a dream. It wasn't until I spoke with my mom that I realised what had happened
It was one of the most confusing days of my life.

You know, I just how realized something: lol
I had a sex dream so real about this dude. That's hilarious and mortifying that I didn't piece together the concept of "sex dream" back then

 

[Orchidea73]

I sometimes find more "scary" things that are in my control. Might sound strange but things that are out of my control are easier to come to terms with, and there is less responsibility, if at all. It's an easy way out and a quick one to "absolve" yourself. A tendency which humans have. On the other hand, things that are in my control needs application, determination, strength and responsibility. Not as easy as it might sound. It's always a working process.

 

[SMNaughtywife]

I was in Seattle visiting my best friend that I’ve known for 26yrs. We’ve stayed close throughout the crazies of life, we can finish each other’s sentences and I know in a blink of an eye when she’s attempting to feed me a load of crappola.
It was bitter sweet leaving and a teary goodbye until next time.

Today’s question: Who’s your best friend and how long have you known them?
What justifies giving someone the best friend title?
Have you grown apart over the years, closer, or on two very different paths?

 

[QuietCanadian]

A buddy that I grew up with. Played hockey together when we were knee high to a grass hopper and have been friends ever since, god, 30 yearsish. Life has taken us in separate directions and we don't see each other very often anymore, but when we do it's like old times. And technology certainly makes it easy to stay connected.

I don't know what warrants the title, though. I have a lot of really good friends and there are a few I'd put in the best friend type category (we're all pretty tight knit), but longevity seems to be part of it.
