The problem with LJ: we all think we are so close, but really, we know nothing about each other. So I want you to ask me something you think you should know about me. Something that should be obvious, but you have no idea about. Ask away.

Then post this in your LJ and find out what people don't know about you.

And remember, NOTHING is taboo, absolutely nothing! (In fact, the jucier the better! :D )

I am not shy, so don't ask unless you really wanna know!

I'm going to interpret that first question as WHERE I work. :)

I work at an Italian restaurant as a banquet server. I first got into serving when I was in high school, because it was pretty much the only job I could find. I ended up being pretty good at it, and I learned that the money is better per hour than you can get just about anywhere else - working part time, anyway - so I stuck with it. Sometimes I like it, and sometimes I really, really hate it. That usually depends on the people I'm serving. There are some real assholes out there.

Something I'm really glad I did...um...well, it maybe wasn't the smartest thing I've ever done, but I'm really glad I went to see Adam in Indianapolis. It was a totally last-minute decision, and it involved a nearly four-hour drive to an unfamiliar city all by myself. That's something I never would have had the courage to do a couple years ago. It was an amazing show, and totally empowering for me as a person to know that I could do something like that.

Something I really want to do...hmm. I really want to have kids. I have a little bit of college to get through yet, and I'd like to be established with a better place to live and a little bit more money before that happens. But yeah, definitely something I want to do if at all possible.

Ooo, you really went for it! Let me think...

WARNING: this gets really graphic, but you did ask!

My husband is really pretty vanilla, so all my RL kink experience is from high school, before we were together. Probably the craziest one was the first time I discovered BDSM. I didn't even know what to call it at the time, and neither of us knew at all what we were doing. Came totally out of nowhere, for me, and for him too. We were on a school trip, and me and this guy were fooling around on the back of the bus while everyone else was sleeping. Turns out there's a lot you can get up to in that situation as long as you're quiet. I remember having to wear scarves and turtlenecks for weeks after that, even though it was hot outside, because my neck was one solid bruise from his hands choking me. I also remember the feeling of going into what I would now call some variety of subspace - I wasn't even thinking, would have done anything he told me to, no questions asked. I definitely remember him fingering my ass and then telling me to suck his fingers clean, which is something I would NEVER do in my right mind, but at the time it felt perfectly natural, because he was telling me to do it.

The experience was actually really hard for me to deal with after, because like I said, I didn't know anything about BDSM. I literally thought something was wrong with me. It took a long time, probably about three years, for me to come to terms with the submissive part of myself and realize that it's not wrong, just different. And I think it's a lot of the reason I read and write fanfiction now, because like I said, my husband is Mr. Vanilla. Gotta get my kink from somewhere, right? ;)

Thanks! I'm glad you do - otherwise I'd just be telling stories to myself!

Disclaimer: I am a terribly, awfully curious person. It's brought me a lot of trouble and a lot of joy, and gotten the people around me quite a few headaches and awkwardness. So feel free to tell me to shut up at any time.

Would you mind if I ask a few more? Because if so, what are you studying? and how long have you been married?

And the best things, are usually not the smartest, I think. After a little introspection, I think that's just the thing for me: it's empowering to do something that's "not smart" because you want to, and because you feel like it, even if you can't really justify yourself. And then discover you don't have to justify yourself at all because, yey! you are a grown up!

According to the little data I've been collecting, it seems that most of us really were at our wildest when in high school. Must be all those hormones...
Also, yeah, buses. Good times ;)

And I went to an all girls nun school, so pretty much nothing freaks me out or pings my TMI radar. We have those schools here were you can take a few elective classes in the last few year of school, but besides that, it was pretty much the same 25 girls locked in a room 6 hours a day. To say that we all got to know each other pretty well is kind of an understatement.

I kind of feel for teenage you, because that must have been pretty scary. It's a cool thing to know yourself, and once you embrace the fact that there's nothing wrong with where you get your kicks, the good times can really start. But being a teenager is hard enough without adding to it, and I would probably have ended hiding in my room for a year if it had happened to me. But then again, I have a tendency to overreact.

Also, the internet is an excellent place to decompress. And vanilla husband sound kind of adorable.

Lol, you can ask as much as you want! I love talking about myself. ;)

I'm a creative writing major, THIS CLOSE to being done with my bachelor's degree. I'd love to go on to graduate school, but that's gonna depend on finances.

My husband and I just celebrated our first wedding anniversary on October 12th. We've been together almost seven years, though!

My vanilla husband - Matt - is pretty much the most adorable person in the whole world. He's smart and funny and sweet and WAY more responsible than I am, which is a good thing, and we were pretty much made for each other. He's well aware of my fandom ways, which is kind of awesome! Sometimes he'll nag me to work on my original fiction, but then I just nag him back - he's a writer, too.
