Music Monday

One of my favorite things in life is music. I think that music can be found that is suitable for any situation. I rarely go anywhere without my iPod because I consider it my background music for life. I asked for a Pandora One subscription for my birthday and actually got it for Christmas *yay* because I love playing with the stations and making them play only the types of music appropriate for that station.

 

I have a very depressing play list on there that I probably shouldn't listen too but sometimes a sad song just makes you feel better. It's hard to explain.

 

Anyway the point is I love music. I love music of all kinds. I listen to rock, rap, country, christian, jazz, pop, oldies, even a little opera. Seriously folks I love it all. Yes there are some songs I hate but I can't think of an entire genre of music that I absolutely despise.

 

 

At the top of my list right now is:

 

• Awake and Alive by Skillet
• Love the Way You Lie by Eminem and Rhianna
• Felt Good On My Lips by Tim McGraw
• Peacocks/Pink Monsters by Judgement Day
• Somewhere with You by Kenny Chesney
• Don't You Wanna Stay by Jason Aldean and Kelly Clarkson (I really want tickets to his concert next weekend)
• House that Built Me by Miranda Lambert
• All I Do Is Win by DJ Khaled (ok really I just like dancing to this when I go out)
• No Hands by Waka Flocka (I hated this song but my best friend is a skinny ass white boy and he walks around singing this in a high pitched voice so it's one of my favorites now)

 

Ok there are like a  million other songs that are current favorites but I wont sit here and list them all. These are in no particular order just songs I've been listening to lately.

It's just me

Hey everyone happy Thursday!

I'm sitting at my desk bored out of my mind so I thought I would post something. What I have absolutely no idea but here goes.

I suppose I should tell people a little more about myself.

I'm a 24 (almost 25) year old graduate student. I am a political science junkie but I'm not pursuing that career path anymore. At the moment I am working on my Masters Degree in College Student Affairs. I work at a university where I run a residence hall. I love the fact that I have the opportunity to impact the lives of young people.

I became interested in BDSM when I was 14 years old. Thanks to the internet I stumbled upon it and it simply made sense. It explained all my strange urges and cravings. When I was 16 or 17 I discovered Gor and I started reading the books. I made a bunch of friends and identified as a Gorean slave for the first couple years of my adult life. It wasn't really what I was looking for though so I started reading more about BDSM in general. I was 18 or 19 when I had my first encounter with rope and I've loved it ever since.

I am a very submissive female and I do identify as a slave. I generally refuse to have the slave versus submissive conversation though occasionally I'll share my opinions on that.

I am seeking a LTR 24.7 (sorta) relationship that ultimately results in a collar and a lifetime committment. Until I find that however I am not against letting a friend tie me up! When I say sorta on the 24.7 part it just simply means I am a busy girl and school comes first at the moment.

Now that I'm done sounding like a personals ad lets move on.

I love to sing. I sing karaoke, I sing in church, I sing in the shower, and I sing at the top of my lungs while I'm driving down the road. It's one of the things I love about my hour and a half drive to class.

I also love a good glass of wine with a well cooked meal. I am a wannabe chef sometimes. I enjoy cooking italian because it's simple. I also enjoy grilling steaks, burgers, chicken . . . pretty much any kind of meat. When I was an undergrad I belonged to a group of friends known as B.O.M.B (Brotherhood of meant and beer). We got together about once a month and drank beer (well I drank rum) and had meat fest and that isn't as perverted as it sounds.

I'm intelligent and I'm not afraid to admit that. I don't generally toot my own horn but I don't hide my intelligence and sometimes that intimidates people. I love to discuss philosophy, politics, religion (yeah the three things that make enemies the fastest!) and any number of things. I do however suck at math. I had to take college algebra 3 times. I'm also not a science geek but I made A's in all my science classes. I thought it was going to kill me though!

Wow I'm talking about myself entirely too much. But it is my blog right?

But hey my supervisor just called me and I have to do some real work now.

Hope everyone has a wonderful day. I'm going to finish up here and then walk the whole 10 feet to my apartment and cook some dinner and drink some wine.

GRRR . . .

I'm a bit irritated today. We just closed out our spring training and I don't feel like any training was done. For those of you that don't know I'm residence hall director and typically I help train my staff and the staffs of four other residence halls on campus. However we recently got a new Director of Housing who decided that he wanted to do training all by himself (and I do mean all by himself) but yet all he did was get up and give motivational speeches for like 4 hours on one day and the rest of the time we haven't done anything except cook dinner for one another. Now of course I teach my staff how to do the right things but that's not what training is about. Training is about learning together as one big team not listening to a motivational speech about challenging our beliefs. Some of it was great and could be worked into real training but overall noone learned anything and all my girls are pissed because they gave up a whole week of Christmas break for this.

Anyway I just needed to vent this has been frustrating me all week long. The problem is I'm not sure how to tell my boss that training sucked without saying hey your training sucked. I'm probably going to send him some corny e-mail offering my suggestions for improvements but it's going to end up screaming that I hated training (which I did0.

Blah gotta go get my day going hope everyone has a wonderful day.

Insomnia sucks

The past several days have been rather busy. I flew back to Arkansas on Monday and drove three hours from the airport to my hometown where I immediately started working to prepare for the return of my staff for the upcoming semester. They began arriving yesterday and today started the kickoff of our spring training event.

Now I'm stuck with a bad case of insomnia. Normally if I can't sleep a half a glass of wine or a little bit of my favorite rum will knock me out but tonight I'm still wide awake 2 hours later. Tell me is it bad that I use alcohol as my sleeping pill? I don't do it often every couple weeks I have a night where I toss and turn like crazy and can't sleep so I pour some wine. I absolutely adore wine so I usually always have some in the apartment.

I'm so tired my eyes wont stay open as I sit her typing this but the moment I lay down my mind begins to race and my heart starts pounding like crazy (at least it feels that way) and I won't be able to sleep. I HATE this!

I've been thinking about a format for this blog. I think I'll do some themed days here and there that are set aside for a specific type of topic.

We'll see. My brain hurts I just want to sleep.

I hope everyone is sleeping peacefully.

I love to fly but there are a few things I despise. 1) Full flights 2) People who are rude enough to make a service man wait 3) Getting placed in the midst of crying children and 4) People who are rude to TSA.

Who Am I?

A lot of people try to define me based on the facts they know about me. As a young teenager and young adult I was "the pentecostal girl", to my childhood friends I am the nerd they can't relate with and to my family who doesn't understand I'm a girl who's just looking for an abusive relationship.

The fact is I am none of those things. Yes I grew up a pentecostal but I prefer to be called a Christian. Yes I'm incredibly intelligent (hey sometimes you gotta toot your own horn because nobody else is gonna do it for you) but I am by no means someone you can't relate to. I'm very down to earth and easy going. I love to have fun but I'm also a fan of intelligence. I may be a masochistic submissive with slave tendancies but I am most certainly not looking to be abused. I am a strong almost dominant person when it comes to school, work and that sort of thing I just happen to take on a different role in my relationships. Believe me anyone who lays a hand on me with anything but the best of intentions will wind up in jail.

So who am I? I'm Yvonne, I'm a lover of all things musical, I'm a closet baseball fan, and I'm a karaoke queen. I'm the submissive who will give you everything I've got and just keep on giving until you stop me. I'm also stubborn as hell and I have a shy streak about a mile wide. I am a secret admirer of tattoos and piercings though I have to be careful where I put them.

I have been described as complex by many individuals and I use to take that as somewhat of an insult. Now I understand it's a compliment. I wouldn't have it any other way.

Through this blog I hope to continue to break the stereotypes that have been placed on me by people who just don't know any better.

I invited you to join me on my journey.

Until next time!

Mmm McDonalds breakfast!!! This trip is slow going today.

Riding down the road to Sacramento at 5:30 in the morning. I just heard an amazing song called Beautiful by Mercyme. Its Christian but everyone who feels unloved or not adequate enough should hear it.

E-mail Check

Hello again!

Just making sure my e-mail is properly connected so I can post more quickly when I need to! I'm about to be homeward bound so excited! Two weeks is entirely long enough for a vacation at the parents house.

Hey everyone just posting from my phone to make sure it works right. Have a blessed day!

Hello and Happy New Year

Hello and Happy New Year! I hope that 2011 is your best year yet.

My name is Yvonne and I'm a 24 (almost 25) year old Graduate student/BDSM submissive girl. I've been blogging for years but I've always kept this part of me away from the blogs unless it was on fetlife or some other BDSM website.

I decided however that this year is going to be different so I ditched my old blog and decided to go for a new one that is a mixture of all sides of me.

It's almost 3 in the morning and right now I have to go finish packing to fly back home. I've been in California for 2 weeks visiting my family. I'll post again later today.

I hope my readers will enjoy this blog as much as they have others that I have written in the past.
