Belated thanks and a few other things


Well, it has taken a while to respond, because frankly i had no time or energy to respond when i found this, and it has taken a while for me to find it again (after remembering that it existed in the first place!)

But libby at gave me a special "friends blog award" back in February! (sorry libby, i didn't mean to ignore it....that was during the time i was getting settlement, quitting my job, and all of the stuff that was involved with that)

So, i think this award has kind of made the rounds a bit, so i doubt i will follow the actual rules of the blog since the few blogs i have followed either don't qualify, or will have been tapped already.

But i *will* tell you what it is about:

"These blogs are exceedingly charming. These kind bloggers aim to find and be friends. They are not interested in self-aggrandizement. Our hope is that when the ribbons of these prizes are cut, even more friendships are propogated. Please give more attention to these writers."

Isn't that sweet???? i am really honored, libby. Thank you.

The rules to accepting this award: "Deliver this award to eight bloggers who must choose eight more and include this cleverly-written text into the body of their award."

As i said, it's been so long, and this kind of thing makes the rounds in blog-topia quickly, so i won't follow the rules. i guess i'll be disqualified and be stripped of the "title" now!

i've had a couple of nice things said about this blog lately, and i really appreciate everything folks have said about it.

i wonder, sometimes, if it would be difficult for someone to just "jump into" and start reading, though. i wonder if it would make sense to a new reader. So i think i'm going to do a kind of "condensed" post - restating who i am, who Padrone is, and what we do, and why this blog exists. So for those of you who are familiar with all this, please bear with me.

(i hate jumping into blogs and having to go back and read 1000 posts to figure out what they're talking about.)

i am a slave, in a long distance relationship with my Master who lives in italy. Because he is italian, i call him Padrone, the italian word for Master. We have been together for 4 years, and it is a long distance relationship for real, since i am in the US.

We have never met, but plan to eventually. We don't obsess about that, rather we really do focus on what we HAVE rather than what we don't have...and to be honest, i have grown in a lot of ways that i never could have, or that would have taken a LOT longer, if we were physically together.

i am a worrier, i over think and overanalyze things to the extreme at times, i am intelligent and intuitive and live to serve my Master.

He is easygoing for the most part, calls himself lazy, balding, older...but he is the most incredible and unique Master, and man, i have ever met. He truly "gets" what D/s is all about, and what's more....he understands enough about women to understand that accepting our differences is a huge part of understanding us!

(figure that one out. i dare ya!)

Anyway, i started this blog just as a kind of....well it was supposed to document my life as a long distance slave. And it began that way of course. But now it is as much a place for me to express D/s philosophies and thoughts, and even vent about some things now and then, as it is about the realities of being a long distance slave.

i have thought about going back and adding tags to posts, mainly to make it easier to find topics or things like that. That's a pretty time consuming project, and if i am going to do it i have to do it soon for sure.

Anyway, i try to keep this blog controversy-free, which is why there are few comments i think. i have no idea how many people read here, and i don't really care since i now type it for me, and for Padrone, but with the knowledge that it is a public blog and read by some at least.

So. That's it. Who we are, why this blog exists and what it is about, in a nutshell.

i'll probably type more later this week, one of those in-depth kinds of posts i can ramble on about forever - lol.

Padrone, thank You for owning me the way You do. Thank You for making me as incredibly happy as i work hard to make You.

i love You. i am Yours.
