Happy 2 years to PL
Two years ago today, I posted a link to an audio and a story. It is the story of meeting Anonyfun in his hotel room after he slips you the key in the hotel bar. It goes just as you’d think it would – sweet, spicy and satisfying. The stories and audios I’ve made over…

The Walmart Cure
Caution: This is a Vulnerable Post If you’ve read enough of my blog you’ll figure out that I am single after a long relationship. Twenty-eight years long, as a matter of fact. We lived together for most of my adult life. Living on my own has been a wonderful experience in some ways. I am…

New Year, Old Me

Death, Like a Door
CW: death My dad died today. If it seems weird to you that I’d be writing a blog post, well, it is, a little. But writing has always been the way I process things, so I’m doing that now. My dad lived a long life and the last few years were not great for him.…
