Twinkly-Toes!

For tonights entertainment I dug up some old studio pics of me in my ballet get-up. Try not to laugh too hard.

Oops!

Turns out I wasn't able to escape another week without getting in trouble with Patrick. (I thought I was doing pretty well!). For the second time in the last few months I managed to scratch the car, this time while backing out of the drive. A drive is a stupid place to put a car if you ask me ...


If you were wondering, this is exactly the kind of thing that gets me put across Patrick's knee. I got away with it the first time on the grounds that it may have been a one-off accident, but the same thing happening twice is apparently a "pattern of negligence". First I was slippered on my bare bottom, and then I got a few with the belt, which is reserved only for what Patrick considers to be serious infractions and this was only my third time getting it.

Afterwards I got corner time as usual, and I'm also banned from driving for a while. I hate taking the bus.

I am a silly monkey, aren't I?

Happy New Year!

Maybe my new years resolution should be to update this blog more often. I promise that I haven't forgotten about this place, it's just all been a bit hectic lately.

I've had quite a mixture of responses to the post I made just before christmas, so I suppose I should try and clarify a few things. Here goes; (1) It's not spousal abuse, (2) I'm not a masochist, and (3) Yes, it really does hurt. I've also been surprised to discover that it's a lot more common than I thought it was, and there's actually quite a community going online for like-minded people.

It's been a bit weird having people know about it, but I guess it was good to get it out there for discussion. There haven't been many negative responses so far, most people just think it's a bit crazy. But hey, I've always been that way!
