1. What was the last movie you saw in a theater?
Oh gosh… It’s been so long I can’t even remember.
2. What is your favorite movie theater snack?
Red Vines! I always get them. Always. Nachos are good too 
3. Have you ever snuck in ‘outside’ food into a theater?
All the time. That’s the great thing about big purses. Once me and M (back when he was still drinking) even snuck a 6-pack of Smirnoff Ice into matinee a showing of a Disney movie. We were sneaky!
4. Have you ever made out in a theater?
Of course!
5. What is the ‘farthest’ you have gone in a theater?
I’m always scared of getting caught, so nothing more than kissing. The drive-in is a completely different story though…

Editor’s Pick
- Maui Silicone Anal Beads by Kyle
The words “anal beads” cause my internal 14 year old boy to giggle nervously and worry about the potential tenting in his jeans. My slightly more mature self smiles appreciatively with no less potential for tenting. I’m a fan of buttsex…

It happened again today… M tried to bring up being deployed to Iraq.
M: “I need to clean. And we still need to talk…”
Me: “Talk? About what?”
M: “Oh nothing bad. Just the whole Iraq thing.”
Me: …..
That’s where I shut down every single time. I can’t even bring myself to think about it, how am I supposed to talk about it? I’m terrified. I never thought it was something I would have to go through.
He says he’s leaving in November. I keep telling him that we’ll talk about it when everything is set in stone. I need to figure this out in my own mind before I can discuss it with him.
New review up on EF for the Wild G.
The smell of that damn toy is still irritating me. Seriously, no bueno.
I have reviewed my first glass toy (very exciting!) at Eden Fantasys. Please feel free to take a look! Cyberglass Four-Way G Review
I ran across this on the web [revolutionhealth.com] and thought I might share…
“What is Vibration Healing?
Vibration healing (vibration therapy) is the use of mechanical vibration to supposedly prevent, treat, and promote recovery from a variety of physical ailments, including pain, sports injuries, and bone density loss.
Vibration therapy involves the application of vibration to part or all of the body. This vibration is delivered through a variety of massage tools and/or specialized equipment.
Ancient Greeks promoted vibration therapy to heal the local stagnation of blood (bruising) and increase joint mobility (arthritis). Practitioners created vibration by placing a long piece of wood, which an assistant held, over the affected area. The practitioner would then use the patient’s body as a stabilizer and saw the wood; vibrations of this motion would be transferred to the affected area. In 16th Century Japan, a popular book advocated for the use of percussion and vibration massage to ameliorate rheumatic complaints and encourage the healing of broken bones . Over 40 years ago, the Russian space program noticed that astronauts returning from space experienced bone fractures and bone mass loss much earlier than their earth-bound counterparts. The Russians used whole body vibration devices to help build up the bone mass of astronauts. Today, NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) also uses vibration therapy to prevent the loss of bone mass in astronauts, particularly females, who are more prone to osteoporosis.
Advocates have promoted vibration therapy to treat a variety of other conditions, such as multiple sclerosis, phantom limb syndrome, cerebral palsy, arthritis, tinnitus, ulcers, and fibromyalgia. They also claim that this modality reduces cellulite, egulates reproductive function, boosts the lymphatic system, improves wound healing, and increases glucose and body metabolism.
The most promising uses for vibration medicine include the treatment of fibromyalgia and arthritis. Currently, there are multiple clinical trials in process that investigate the validity of this therapy for pain, sports injuries, and bone density loss; however, high-quality human clinical trials are necessary before any firm recommendation can be made.”
Have you told your vibrator ‘thank you’ today?
So I’m up late and it doesn’t look like I’ll be able to sleep anytime soon, so I thought it might be a good time to share a little bit about M, previously referred to as the boy. He’s been brought up before, and there’s no doubt he’ll be brought up again.
M and I met while I was in high school. He was the good-looking ladie’s man, and I didn’t think I had a shot in hell. M had a bad boy reputation and proved it to be true with his party boy ways. We friended each other on Myspace, and for a year rarely talked besides a few comments here and there.
Jump forward a few months. I had a brief fling with M’s friend (scandelous, right?) which ended casually. We all remained friends, running into one another at random places. M and I ran into each other at a mutual friend’s house one night, and I still believed he was way out of my league. Somehow we started hanging out more and more frequently, and the relationship slowly became more than platonic.
Three weeks after M and I officially began dating, he left for military basic training. He was gone for a total of six months, during which I only saw him once. Surprisingly, I believe this was a blessing in disguise. Those months apart allowed us to build a connection that wasn’t solely based on physical attraction, which is definitely one of the reasons we’ve lasted this long.
The year after M returned is just a big blur to me now. It was full of fighting, infidelity, drinking, lying, exploring sexual boundries, and growing up. I would never want to re-live that year, but I learned a lot about relationships and even more about myself.
This past year has been one of amazing growth. M admitted to his past infidelities, which crushed me to the core and lifted a weight off of our relationship at the same time. Things hadn’t been good between us for some time, and it didn’t surprise me to hear what had happened. I had known it all along, but honestly never thought I would hear the truth from him. We broke up for a few months, and both thought a lot about whether our relationship could ever work and if it was even worth a try.
During our break-up M went to rehab for alcoholism. His addiction was a huge part of the reason our relationship wasn’t working. Since he’s been back, we’ve slowly been rebuilding a relationship. Things are much better now that drinking isn’t dictating his time or actions. He realizes that there is a lot of damage to repair and has stepped up to the plate, much to my surprise.
There are times I get frustrated and feel like giving up, but I think that is just me being scarred that he is going to slip back into old habits. Sometimes I find myself worrying that the past will repeat itself, only to have him surprise me with his efforts to become not only a better boyfriend, but a better person.
I truly love and respect M, even though I do not love and respect everything he’s done in the past. Every day he shows me that there is nothing that cannot be overcome. I do not know what the future holds for us, but I am a lucky girl to have had somebody like him in my life.
