A little fun before heading to bed. Ask away.

1. Would you have sex with the last person you text messaged?
No

2. You talked to an ex today, correct?
Sort of. I’ve texted with someone I was involved with long ago

3. Have you taken someones virginity?
Yes.  Sort of.  I’ve had sex with more people for their first time.  “Virginity” is kind of a gross concept that’s historically had way more to do with property rights than human rights.

4. Is trust a big issue for you?
Yes.  Though really the better my boundaries the easier it is for me to trust people.

5. Did you hang out with the person you like recently?
People I like, yes, recently.  A person I like?  Sadly no.

6. What are you excited for?
A mini-vacation / business trip coming up soon.  Interviewing a possible new employee so I can someday take real vacations.

7. What happened tonight?
It’s the middle of the afternoon!

8. Do you think it’s disgusting when girls get really wasted?
No.  It’s complicated.  But not disgusting.  I go into caregiver mode.  It’s particularly messy if they’re wasted and want to be sexual because “consent” is short for “competent consent.”  If someone’s too wasted to drive they’re too wasted to consent.
Not sure why there’s a gender question involved: it’s concerning when anyone gets really wasted, isn’t it?

9. Is confidence cute?
Confidence is awesome!

10. What is the last beverage you had?
Short Americano with cream

11. How many people of the opposite sex do you fully trust?
Most of them – about as many as people of the same sex

12. Do you own a pair of skinny jeans?
No

13. What are you gonna do Saturday night?
I’ll be done with my day’s activities and hanging out socially with people I’ll be meeting on my business trip.

14. What are you going to spend money on next?
Food, housing, airport parking

15. Are you going out with the last person you kissed?
No

16. Do you think you’ll change in the next 3 months?
I’d like to say yes but it might take longer.

17. Who do you feel most comfortable talking to about anything?
Strangers on the internet, tbh!

18. The last time you felt broken?
It’s been years.  I get episodic depression, which used to leave me feeling “broken,” but now I look at it the same way I do the flu, a migraine, or a sprained ankle.  I”m not “broken” when I’ve got the flu, just miserable, right?  So I’m not “broken” when my serotonin goes out of whack either – just miserable.  

19. Have you had sex today?
Sadly no.

20. Are you starting to realize anything?
I’m not as old and ugly as I feel.  I’ve felt ugly as long as I can remember, I first felt old when I turned 19!  Feelings aren’t strictly bullshit, but they’re highly suspect.  It’s as narcissistic to disagree with others who think you’re attractive as it is to imagine you’re attractive when no one else agrees.

21. Are you in a good mood?
I seem to be.  I blame that Americano.  Mmm, caffeine!

22. Would you ever want to swim with sharks?
I actually swam with sharks once.  Friends say it looked like I levitated out of the water.  I’d seen the sharks.  I didn’t want to swim with them then, don’t want to repeat the experience ever. 

23. Are your eyes the same color as your dad’s?
No.  Well sort of.  His were more brown, mine are a little more greenish-brown.

24. What do you want right this second?
A nap, but see “Americano,” above.

25. What would you say if the person you love/like kissed another girl/boy?
Awesome.  Go for it.  I might be sad for me if they preferred someone else.  But I’d be happy for them.  Who they kissed wouldn’t really matter, would it?

26. Is your current hair color your natural hair color?
Yes

27. Would you be able to date someone who doesn’t make you laugh?
Laugh?  No.  Not if they made me smile.

28. What was the last thing that made you laugh?
Ugh.  I’m so bad at remembering jokes.  It was a meme though.

29. Do you really, truly miss someone right now?
Yes!  I miss my children when they were small.  I love them madly now that they’re grown, but miss being able to carry them both upstairs at the same time and read to them at bedtime.

30. Does everyone deserve a second chance?
Everybody deserves a second chance because we’re all human.  It’s up to us whether we give them a third chance, because we deserve that.

31. Honestly, do you hate the last boy you were talking to?
Honestly, no.  He’s fine.

32. Does the person you have feelings for right now, know you do?
Yes.

33. Are you one of those people who never drinks soda?
I no longer drink soda.  Well.  Except in rootbeer floats.  Because rootbeer floats!!!!

34. Listening to?
The world around me.  (I can’t listen to music and do anything else.)

35. Do you ever write in pencil anymore?
I’m writing with one now!  Oh wait, no I’m not!  But there’s one right next to my keyboard (also two or three pens.)

36. Do you know where the last person you kissed is?
Sadly no. 

37. Do you believe in love at first sight?
Yes.  

38. Who did you last call?
A business associate

39. Who was the last person you danced with?
Can’t really remember.  It’s been a while though.  Friends at a party for sure, just can’t remember which party.

40. Why did you kiss the last person you kissed?
To say good bye and safe travels.

41. When was the last time you ate a cupcake?
Maybe a few weeks ago?  I like cupcakes.

42. Did you hug/kiss one of your parents today?
I would if I could but both have passed away.  I’d love to talk to them even more than hug them.

43. Ever embarrass yourself in front of a crush?
Pretty much every single crush I’ve ever had, going back to the cute girl in 2nd grade.  (I still sometimes cringe about that one, even though in retrospect I was just a cute little boy.)

44. Do you tan in the nude?
When I’m at a nude beach, hot tub, or house I’ll go naked.  But I got my first pre-cancerous lesion burned off at age 25.  So the less sun exposure I get the happier I am.

45. If you could, would you take back your last kiss?
Not a chance

46. Did you talk to someone until you fell asleep last night?
Talked to someone till bedtime.  Said good night then went to bed.

47. Who was the last person to call you?
A contractor

48. Do you sing in the shower?
Sadly no.

49. Do you dance in the car?
Only rarely.  But yes.

50. Ever used a bow and arrow?
Sort of.  I’m terrible at it.

51. Last time you got a portrait taken by a photographer?
About four years ago.

52. Do you think musicals are cheesy?
Cheesy musicals are cheesy.  Good musicals are good.  More often it’s the production that makes it cheesy, not the musical itself.

53. Is Christmas stressful?
No.  I enjoy all the winter holidays.

54. Ever eat a pierogi?
Mmmm, perogies and kielbasa fried with tons of onion, with sour cream on the side?  Got introduced to them by an old sweetheart’s family.  Them’s good eatin!

55. Favorite type of fruit pie?
Apple!

56. Occupations you wanted to be when you were a kid?
Scientist

57. Do you believe in ghosts?
Not sure what a ghost would be.  Not ruling it out.  But I’d want a material, non-”supernatural” explanation for the phenomenon.

58. Ever have a Deja-vu feeling?
Oh yeah.  Rarely a profound one.  But… it’s a weird, funny feeling!

59. Take a vitamin daily?
I do.  

60. Wear slippers?
No.  I grew up in rural Appalachia so if I’m not wearing real shoes I go barefoot unless it’s freezing and I’ll be outside for more than half an hour.

61. Wear a bath robe?
I’ve got a big, thick “Obi wan Kenobi” robe that’s awesome.  I don’t wear it as much as I used to.

62. What do you wear to bed?
Nothing!

63. First concert?
Wow.  Probably a symphony when I was a little kid?  I think it might have been a performance of Camille Saint-Saëns’s Carnival of the Animals?  Either that or one of the original bluegrass bands.

64. Wal-Mart, Target or Kmart?
Target

65. Nike or Adidas?
Whatever’s comfortable

66. Cheetos Or Fritos?
Cheetos!

67. Peanuts or Sunflower seeds?
Peanuts!

68. Favorite Taylor Swift song?
To be honest I don’t think I’ve ever heard a Taylor Swift song!  I’m sure I’ve heard her but I have a very hard time telling pop musicians apart.

69. Ever take dance lessons?
Yes.  They traumatized me for life.  (I’ll never square dance!)  I took swing dance lessons but was never very good at it.  I’d like to give it another go – there’s a real renaissance in swing and ballroom dancing going on these days.

70. Is there a profession you picture your future spouse doing?
I’m not likely to marry again (see below) but I support every partner no matter what she wants to do. 

71. Can you curl your tongue?
Yes

72. Ever won a spelling bee?
Ok.  True fact.  I was terrible at spelling!  You’ll probably notice from all my typos!  But for some reason in 8th Grade I made it to the #2 position in my school.  They weren’t even all easy words, I just happened to know or could guess how to spell them.  At the end it was me and another kid, a good friend who really did know how to spell.  Whoever one would go to the city-wide spelling bee.  We’d already gone three or four rounds with no errors.  I remember looking at him, knowing he not only would do a better job but he really wanted and deserved it.  And so I deliberately spelled “illustrate” incorrectly.

73. Have you ever cried because you were so happy?
Oh my yes!  Every wedding.  At the national anthem at high-school football games.  When my children were born.  When they graduated.  If you’ve never been happy enough to cry real tears of joy you’re missing a treat.

74. What is your favorite book?
Hannah Arendt’s “The Human Condition”

75. Do you study better with or without music?
I can’t do anything but listen while music’s playing.

76. Regularly burn incense?
No.  I mean I’ve burned incense.  And when my home or office gets stale and stinky I set fir to bits of sagebrush I’ve picked east of the mountains.  (This is not ritual “smudging” because that wouldn’t be respectful.)  

77. Ever been in love?
Ahahah!  Oh my yes!  Of course!

78. Who would you like to see in concert?
Bobby McFerrin, Joan Armatrading, the old Red Clay Ramblers, Jimi Hendrix

79. What was the last concert you saw?
Johnny Clegg

80. Hot tea or cold tea?
Hot, usually.  Iced tea is awesome though.

81. Tea or coffee?
Coffee

82. Favorite type of cookie?
Oatmeal raisin, Nutterbutter peanut butter, shortbread, Girl Scout Samosas

83. Can you swim well?
I can swim but not well.  GIve me flippers, a mask, and a snorkel and I’m evidently fearless.

84. Can you hold your breath without holding your nose?
Yes.

85. Are you patient?
I’ve made it to answer #85!  So yes.  And more seriously, yes.

86. DJ or band, at a wedding?
Band!

87. Ever won a contest?
I think so.  Almost won that spelling bee (above!)

88. Ever have plastic surgery?
Ironically yes.  I’ve had to have several corrective surgeries on my jaws and nose.  These were done by surgeons who tended to do plastic surgery.  All internal, though, so, sadly, my face looks exactly the same!

89. Which are better black or green olives?
This isn’t a contest.  They’re both awesome.

90. Opinions on sex before marriage?
Sex before breakfast is awesome too!

91. Best room for a fireplace?
Den, living room, outdoors

92. Do you want to get married?
I was engaged to one person, was engaged and married to someone else.  I don’t think of myself as old but I don’t think I’ll get married again.  For me, anyway, marriage is about raising a family, and if I somehow could start over (I’ve already had one vasectomy, a reversal, and another vasectomy so the ends are going to be a little tattered down there) I’d be truly old before they could graduate from college.  So no.

Boys are mean.

Heh. Denial is such a limit for me.

I know there’s way better ways of measuring sexual satisfaction and enjoyment than basic orgasm counts. And I know some people can’t come, or have “squib” orgasms, or have terrible drops when they do. And do they enjoy edging endlessly to actually coming. And I’m ok with that.

But if someone gives me puppy eyes I’m always going to say yes. If I tease you it’ll always be as buildup, not taunting.

Because, honestly, I don’t need a partner to make me come. I can do that myself. Therefore for me a huge reward of partner sex (as opposed to partner dancing or holding hands) is making you come!

And so gratuitously denying you might frustrate me more than it would you, kittycat.

its fuckingdisturbing that you want to treat women like children. immaturity is not sexy and you are vile for thinking so

Thank you for your comment.  You feel I treat adult women as if they were children.  It’s your position that immaturity is vile and that if I think it’s sexy I’m a vile person.  Does that sound right?

Technically I want to treat competent, capable adult kinky partners the way they enjoy being treated during kinky activities.  But if you don’t see the distinction it could certainly be vile and disgusting.  I agree completely that if I didn’t see the difference either then I really would be a vile person!

It would be even worse if I wanted to treat all women (or men, actually) like children, wouldn’t it?  And there are plenty of people in the world who think exactly that way.  One of the tough things about having kinks is that they tend to be pretty transgressive, and very often reflect actions or behaviors that when sincerely believed and especially when advocated as social, legal, or religious are pretty fucking disturbing.  

Luckily for all of us I’m not interested in child partners (eww), or adult partners who are immature (yikes), nor do I think all prospective partners are or should be child-like.  

Also luckily the psychologists, artists, business owners, college students, emergency responders, single parents, athletes, and other adults who’ve flirted with or dated me since I started this Cg/L or D/Lg Daddy blog would be less than impressed if they thought I imagined were childlike or immature.  Nor would they be impressed with anyone who leveled that accusation against them… as you’ll likely discover if you drop similar accusations in their inboxes.

I don’t know if you feel reassured by my answer but please believe me when I say I appreciate your concern.  Best of luck in your own relationships, kinky or otherwise.

Woah.  Goodness, isn’t that a nice round number!  My thanks to all 7,000 mostly non-bot, non-spam human-beings who’ve followed me.  Not bad at all considering the ridiculous apocalypse last December.

Thank you all so, so much.

By the way, just in case this helps someone –

COOKING – creativity is okay

BAKING – stick to the recipe (you can usually adjust sugar content to taste, though)

BREAD – wait for the right weather conditions (or engineer them), be one assertive and self-confident motherfucker because dough can feel it if you aren’t, a blood sacrifice probably helps, trust the gods 

PASTRY – your God is dead, the god of gluten and madness is risen, abandon all hope ye who enter here

D/LG NON-DOM DADDY NON-BRATTY BREAD – no-knead, five-minute-to-prepare artisan-style bread that needs only encouragement and a little room to grow because it’s independent, strong, clever, it’s earned your trust, and it’s delicious.  And will give you three to four fresh-baked loaves of amazing crusty-on-the-outside, chewy-on-the-inside bread with maybe enough left over at the end of the week to make absolutely fucking fabulous sourdough cinnamon rolls.

I used to make that all the time.  It’s simple and amazing.

They’re right about baking though, at least for cakes – stick to the recipe!  You’ve got a lot more latitude for cookies, a little more for muffins.

Just stab the wool into shape

Is that what needle felting is? I though you needed some sort of base?

This is what felting is.  It’s a very good hobby for somebody who enjoys stabbing ^u^  what do you think I do all day?

Really thought he was gonna get a giant great wig….hoping actually

Wanna know how it works?

Those needles have barbs that catch and tangle the fibers of the roving (the term for that loose wool) together. The more you stab it the more tightly-packed and the more firm the object becomes. It takes a lot of little stabs to smooth out the texture on the surface and is best done with a single fine gauge needle.

Fun fact: the longer you use a felting needle the sharper it becomes, as the wool polishes the point.

This doesn’t bode well for your fingers but hey. It’s a fun art filled with cute projects, lots of stabbing, blood, and swearing.

Needle felting is 100% creative stabbing

Needle felting!  It’s SO COOL!  Yeah, you gotta watch for fingers, but it’s really not that hard.  And it might take a little longer to make an adorable little pig like the one in the video.  But it really doesn’t take that much longer.

And yeah, you really can pull together that much detail with that little effort.

I just spent an inordinate amount of time digging through old photos on a backup disk looking for examples  (I’d usually give the ones I made away.)  But one of these evenings I’m going to have to go pull out the supplies and, um, see if I can find out just how stupid Tumblr’s filters really are. 

😏

But, yeah, needle felting is really fun!
