I am safely ensconced in Chicago.

Walked into the apartment of the person I'm staying with.

On the floor?

A vibrator, lube, two Wartenburg wheels, a fire wand... and a copy of My Big Fat Greek Wedding.

I love my friends.

Which did you reach for first?

[shadesong.livejournal.com]

My laptop, to blog about it!

[themaskmaker.livejournal.com]

As any of our tribe would, of course! *giggle*

sometimes my inner nurse gets in the way

So I read Wartenburg wheel and was thinking "Hmm, someone's in a coma? Maybe someone has paralysis that they are hoping will resolve after the swelling from a nerve injury goes down? Maybe I better google that..."

o_O


oh, nevermind.

I am pissed you were only ten miles from me and I couldn't get off work. But then again, you were within ten miles of me. Closest yet!

[shadesong.livejournal.com]

Yes! Maybe next time you're in Vermont...

[swashbucklr]

Or maybe the next time you're in Vermont. :)

And I'm left playing the game of "one of these things is not like the other"... wondering which of the set is not part of the set.

*big grin*

It is not a party until some sex toys get lit on fire.

[moiracoon.livejournal.com]

That's hilarious!

You know, I wasn't surprised by any of this until I went back and read that there wasn't just one Wartenburg wheel, but two! *laughs*

[phantom_wolfboy]

Google was able to give me Wartenburg wheel, but "Fire Wand" is only giving me World of Warcraft results. Is this something I'm likely to regret asking about?

[shadesong.livejournal.com]

...maybe? I am not the one being set on fire, so maybe not?

Tool for fireplay, basically.

[phantom_wolfboy]

Ah. Mildly squicky, but since not applied to you, no hackles.

The ones I saw recently probably started their lives as fondue forks. The fork end is wrapped tightly with gauze (or loosely if you want lots of flame). Dip that in your choice mix of rubbing alcohol. Light. Dab fire on person, putting it out with free hand. Feels hot, will singe (or completely remove) body hair, but generally safe.

[paradoxymoron.livejournal.com]

And now I know that Sensual Body Hair Removing exists. O__o With fire.

[phantom_wolfboy]

Thanks for the info.

[scathedobsidian.livejournal.com]

Oh, I hope to make this an entertaining visit.

Also, I appreciate the discretion, but you don't have to be shy about using my name. The internet knows I'm a lech.

[mycroftca.livejournal.com]

Which neighborhood?

[marmota.livejournal.com]

Man, if that were me seeing that as someone's idea of housekeeping for a guest staying over, I'd be out of there so fast towards the nearest hotel you'd hear a sonic boom, and probably never speak to them again. I feel like I'm missing an important detail here?

[lawbabeak.livejournal.com]

It's been a while, but shadesong has posted in the past about being toy and kink-appreciative.

[marmota.livejournal.com]

I was thinking more along the lines of how shocking it is for "this is space for welcoming a guest", rather than any general sense of toy or kink appreciativeness. Your mileage may vary, I guess.

[ginger]

Okay, not being so much with the kink, I'd probably be a little O.o myself, but... "probably never speak to them again"? Seriously?

[marmota.livejournal.com]

Somewhat overstating, but not by much. Maybe it's a cultural thing, but that degree of tastelessness towards a guest would come across as a deliberate insult to me. *shrug* All things considered, Shadesong's "I am so blogging this!" response is probably better in the long run than my "a slight for a slight" attitude, although hopefully equally shaming.

[shadesong.livejournal.com]

*shrug* He was running out the door in the morning and totally spaced, and I came in earlier than he expected. It was funny.

[dakabn.livejournal.com]

And I have to look up at least one of those items.

[pbristow.livejournal.com]

You forgot to put the links in the "Daily Science" bit.

Oh wait...

(Educational as ever, though! =;o} )

[weofodthignen]

aaaaaaah we just call those pinwheels. And buy them at sewing supply stores and repackage them '-)
