Two good things (one tmi)

I heard about the game Flight Rising months ago, but it was closed to new players due to server limitations. A few days ago they finally reopened it to new players, and now I have an account! I feel a little uninformed about how the combat aspects work (IMO it’s pretty clear that it started as a “collect cool things” game, not a “fight monsters” game) but totally surrendering to the impulse of “I want that one because it’s SO PRETTY” is really nice. My userpage is now linked in the “about me”, so you can go critique my dragon fashion choices if you want.

Second good thing: Good Vibrations had a sale recently, and I bought a strap-on-able dildo. I’m planning on making my own harness for it, which I haven’t actually started yet, so I wasn’t able to use it exactly as intended… but Sparkly and I broke it in last night and it was amazing. She really enjoyed it.

Marbles, you guys.

I came across this on Tumblr and I guess I’d forgotten how much I used to love marbles.  They’re so pretty, you guys.  And little-me was totally in favor of just setting them out neatly and admiring them.  I would have done this if it’d occurred to me. 

I think I know where all little-me’s extra-favorite marbles are, in my old closet at my parents’ house.  There’s a particular box.  I should get them next time I visit.  Though the not-even-remotely-level hardwood floors here would probably make playing with them interesting.

(Joys of living in a building constructed in 1917: When Responsible Girl’s bedroom door is closed, the hinge side of the door is almost flush with the floor, and the doorknob side has more than an inch gap.  The rest of the house is similar.)

Marbles.

Sparkly and I had a long talk last night.

Well, it mostly consisted of Sparkly saying “I feel like I should tell you but I’m really embarrassed,” followed by me saying “You don’t have to, but I am curious.  No, I won’t hate you, I promise,” over and over.

So.

I knew that Sparkly thought that anal sex was kind of weird and nasty, but I thought that meant she wouldn’t want to try it.  Heh.

Apparently what happened was, Reference Desk Girl suggested it, and Sparkly was feeling curious, and she ended up enjoying it a lot.  But she didn’t want to tell me, because

(a) she felt like she should have told me beforehand if she was going to have sex with RDG, so she felt guilty about it, and

(b) she assumed I felt the same way about anal as she did, so she thought I would think she was weird and gross for enjoying it.

I don’t think I’ve managed to adequately explain how not grossed out I am by anal, but regardless, Sparkly says she feels a lot better now that she’s told me.  I feel a lot better too.  Though I guess I still have some work to do, to convince Sparkly that I’m not all sweet and innocent and whatever, like she sometimes thinks I am.
