TMI Tuesday writing fun

Spill! It’s time for another TMI Tuesday.

1. Who in your life do you wish you’d met sooner?

While I do think that everything happens for a reason and that it wouldn’t be a good idea to mess with the timeline of the world (have you seen the movie The Butterfly Effect?)…I do wish that I had found my group of WordPress friends- my kinky friends- earlier in life.  I have been into spanking, BDSM, D/s, etc. my whole life and never had anyone to talk to about it.  It’s nice to have friends who enjoy some of the same kinky things I do and who love to talk about, write about it, and reminisce about it.  Collared Michael, furcissy, MissusMistress….you know who you are 😊

2. Who in your life do you wish you’d never met? Why?

I had a student a few years back that was a bit loony, in the scary, violent kind of way.  It was the kind of situation that had to be reported to the Dean and campus security would walk me to my car at night.  I do wish that I had never met him.  Prior to that, I was never afraid of meeting new students each semester.  Now, teaching on-line University is sounding more and more appealing….

3. What personality trait or description that others attribute to you do you hate?

Those who are closest to me, know that I can be a bit controlling.  This is something I didn’t realize about myself until a few years back.  Needless to say, I am desperately trying to change and accept that I cannot control everything around me- and, that I am actually happier when I stop trying to.

4. If you have children, do you want them to be just like you?

I do not have children, but if I did, no…I would not want them to be just like me.  I would want them to be better.  If I could design my “dream child”, she (yes, I would want a daughter) would have my intelligence and hard working nature paired with my husband’s genuineness and love for making others laugh.

5. What have you given up but yet used to love?

At one point in my life, I absolutely loved kick boxing.  It started out with a Tybo workout video (you know you remember those!) and progressed to a class that met twice per week near the college.  About three weeks in, I hurt my knee, badly.  My younger brother had multiple knee injuries from playing sports and I did not want that in my future.  It took about six months to recover from my knee injury (thankfully I worked at the on-campus gym and was able to be seen by a sports doc for free) and I never went back to the class.  I do miss that powerful feeling.

 

Bonus: Why do people say “heads up” when you should duck?

Seriously?  There are a lot of dumb sayings.  Like “sweating like a pig” or “go fuck yourself”…but, we still say them 😊

Thank you for reading!
