It smells of cheap wine and cigarettes/

This place is always such a mess/

Sometimes I think I’d like to watch it burn.

Tonight I go to present on Voice and Inflection at TES. There’s really only one thing to be said on the topic- it’s the same thing that matters when you talk about D/s or S/m or any of the sacraments. I can’t just say it to the crowd. They won’t get it. They don’t have the decoder ring.

I was once asked about knife play… the guy asking has been around forever, 30+ years. Sweet guy. But he and I are not the same species, never will be, Never have been. He commented that “If you are with a partner and trust them with a knife, how can you really be afraid of them with a knife? How can you make them afraid?”

I looked at him and gave him the only truth in all of this, the only truth I have found to matter, the fact that differentiates status quo from sacrament:

“You have to mean it.”

He did not get it.

They never do.

“You can turn your back on a person… but never turn your back on a drug. Especially when it’s waving a razor sharp hunting knife in your eye.”
