Winners and Loser Posted by Chloe

First up, the loser.  Thaz me.  I haven’t posted in two weeks.  It really feels like it’s only been a couple days.  Bleh.  I think kaya passed me her blogger’s block. Thanks, wench.  :D

(Side note: I dunno why my blog randomly makes the link underline a strikethrough in some links but not others. Are you guys seeing “kaya” as struckthrough too? Wtf? I’m blogging in Windows Live Writer… I looked at the source code for the post and it seems the same here as it is for links later on.  I DON’T GET IT.  Maybe I’m the only one who sees it this way…) OMG NEVER MIND!  Luna saved the day, and my sanity!  (P.S.  That part is SUPPOSED to be struckthrough.  Swear.)

I just dunno what to talk about right now.  I feel like I blog to three main ends.  One, when something fabulous is happening.  Two, when something shitty is happening.  Three, when I’m feeling all analytical and pensive (and/or angsty) about my life or mindset in general, (usually) as it relates to this world of BDSM.

None of those three things are going on.  I’m just… You know… Living.  My relationship continues on and I’m happy. The getting-to-24/7 part still in a holding pattern, which is likely to last the summer given Antonio’s back-breaking work schedule in the warm months.  That sucks, but for the next few months I’m done stressing over omgwhatdoesitmeeeeean!?!?  My jobs continue to suck up a massive amount of my time.  Everything I could talk about is either trivial or not-remotely-power-exchange-related.  In other words, boring, and you don’t care.

I know I’ll get my blogging mojo back.  Right now, it’s just on vacation. Or in a coma.  One of the two.

I wish I had a camera – or could afford to get a new one.  At least then I could be motivated enough to bore you all with fun, healthy vegan food.  Alas, it’s still missing and I’m still poor.  Bah.  I’m going to have to steal my roommate’s camera for a day, though, because we’re now moving onto the WINNERS portion of this post!

The Movie Game ended in… an (almost) TIE!

Cool, hey? It’s not REALLY a tie, but only two people really TRIED, and they both did really, really well.

If my math is right (which it might not be, my brain is fried today), then miss subtle got 13/14 correct and miss Tapestry got 12/14 correct.  (And together they got every single one.  That confirms, in my twisted brain, that none of my codes were too hard since the combination of the girls’ answers covered the board!  *nods*)

Oh, and in my last post?  Did you notice the font kept changing?  All those phrases in a different font were quotes from the movies.  I TOLD you there were clues in that post! :)

For anyone who cares, the correct answers were…

  • Ferrous Sulfate Hominid – IRON MAN
  • In a Domicile for Celebrations – HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS
  • Early Morning(ish) Pitch, Oh! – DONNIE DARKO
  • An Aberrant Person in the U.S. – AMERICAN PSYCHO
  • As2O3 with an Antiquated Item from the Belgian Cradle – ARSENIC AND OLD LACE
  • The Cachet – THE PRESTIGE
  • Celebrity Slog – STAR TREK
  • Toast – HEAT
  • Wounded Buttoner – THE HURT LOCKER
  • A Flibbertijibbet, Will-o’-the wisp Clown Packed Tight with Polish – MARIA FULL OF GRACE
  • Really Loves Company – MISERY
  • Jogging with Chilly Feet – RUNNING SCARED
  • Perps on Par – THE USUAL SUSPECTS
  • What Everyone Is Doing in the Stool Capital of the U.S. – WAITING FOR GUFFMAN Thanks to subtle and Tapestry for playing along.  You ladies have some seriously sexy brains and WILL get prizes!  (And extra thanks to subtle for going the extra mile and pointing out I mistakenly said #9 had two words, when “The Hurt Locker” is clearly three.  What a giant Counting Fail on my part.)

    If anyone is staring at any of those thinking, “How in the fuck does _____ translate to _______?” feel free to say so and I’ll gleefully explain my ridiculous thought process.  I assure you it will be way too much fun for me to explain, and it will give you a terrifying glimpse into my psyche.  (I actually had to hold myself back from explaining each and every one of those.  I’m awesome.)

    And if anyone has any blogging mojo they want to share?  Send it my way, please. Or else I’ll start blogging about shit like how I spent an hour in the car today literally MOANING as I drove because my whole body ached so badly I was near tears.  (It’s that bad flu-ache, yanno? I’m getting sick.  My mom and her boyfriend were both sick for 16 days each with something terrible, and I thought I was in the clear, but now I’m starting to feel like death.  And when I told my mother I was feeling like poo she helpfully said, “Yeah, my guy thought he was in the clear after I got sick because it was so many days later before he started showing symptoms.”  Sweet.)

      One thing I’ve learned about blogging is that, for most of us, it tends to be ‘ebb and flow’ depending on how much time we have and what’s going on in our lives. Be here, or not, as it feels right to you sweety.

      love and hugs xxx

      Yep, it looks like a strike out to me, too. Dunno why. I’m happy to be able to publish a post- I leave the fixing to other (smarter) peeps.

      I think we’re sharing the reasons for blogger’s block. There is nothing noteworthy going on in my life either. It’s just daily living. And I’m so not going to start reciting my day from morning to bedtime, like some people do. Not. No way. We both know why.

      The link is a strikethrough because it is wrong. This is the URL that comes up when you click it http://obey.thenaturalorders.com/2010/05/19/winners-and-loser/www.underhishand.com

      That means you are omitting the http:// part of the link. That’s necessary to make it work right. ;)

      *blushing*

      That is so cool! I had a lot of fun with those, and would do it again if you get bored and want to make another list, lol. Master and I actually did it together, which might be why it was such fun. ;)

      No prize is necessary, the reward was the fun of figuring it all out. And I originally had “Heat” for Toast and changed my mind at the last minute. Pity, but oh well,lol.

      Thanks for the fun Chloe :)

      Unlike Miss Tapestry above, I want my prize!! Gimme, gimme, gimme!!

      Lol….

      And I just have to say your game reminded me of a cryptic crossword and I *hate* cryptic crosswords and if it was anyone else but you Chloe-dear doing the game, I would not have spent many, many hours wracking my brain for the answers.

      I find it hard to blog too because I only blog during times of extreme angst/unhappiness/pondering/and when I have pretty photos of bruises to show off. So most of the time I am totally fucked. But if I do happen to come across some mojo laying around doing nothing, I’ll send it your way :)
