Reputation reputation

Oh Iago my reputation ...

a very good stitching friend described a scenario thusly today:

I can see Mel sitting over there in her well padded, black velvet throne, 3 young, blonde gods chained on each side and 2 more kneeling in front of her to fetch anything her little heart desires. She smiles benevolently at them all but there is a spark in her eyes that insures a couple of them won't be sleeping much tonight.
Sisu

I can just hear Offspring's "Self-Esteem" as the musical accompaniment to the image ....

I don't want to know what this says about me psychologically.  I really don't.  Sisu - you are a bad woman - insightful - but bad !!!!

Now where are said Adonis' for real ????

HeHe - so, pretty close to the mark, huh?

Rosanne Derrett said...

You said you didn't chain them to your chair! Have you replaced the exhausted ones with fresh ones today?

Hilary Syddall said...

*snigger* does Sisu know you well or what!!!!!!

Lori M. said...

Sisu is insighful! She did a great job with this - such a vivid description! She really hit the nail on the head!!!

Melissa Hicks said...

Yep - that is a great fantasy - such a sop to my ego.

Unfortunately the reality has never come anywhere near close .....

Nancy Murdock said...

Does it ever??

Tina Starke said...

Unfortunately, chances are the young blonde gods are gay!

Hilary Syddall said...

Hmm - do they have to be BLONDE Adonises (Adonisi?) or is that just a preference? :-)

Karen R said...

Mel can have the blondes - I want the ones that look and sound like Clive Owen and/or Christian Bale...

Paula Hubert said...

I'm another one in the "do they have to be blond" camp? And unless Mel prefers them to be, I'm betting she wouldn't have to chain them to her throne! :)

Claire EJ said...

I'm still in shock that onlly" a couple " won't be sleeping tonight..would expect it to be more..

Mariann Mäder said...

Well, if no one else has the blondes then there will be more for Mel and myself

Rosanne Derrett said...

Blond gods who are gay? Especially if they are buff, waxed and oiled!

Hilary Syddall said...

Er hem!!!!!!!!!!!!! *cough* and I thought you were a well brought up young lady!

Mariann Mäder said...

buff any time, but NOT waxed and oiled!!!! No overdefined muscles either, please...

Rosanne Derrett said...

Excuse me, i'm neither young nor well brought up! You understand where I am coming from when I say that myself and a friend were both drooling over a gorgeous male specimen and my friend is gay! Another gay friend is currently drooling over the new Beckham Armani photo's and I'm drooling alongside and I don't even like Beckham!

Hilary Syddall said...

Excuse me - if I say you are young - then you are young! (humph youngsters today got no respect!)

My lesbian friend was down a few weeks back and all she kept saying (as Mark and I were pointing out attractive young ladies!) was "I love Cambridge, I really love Cambridge, I want to live and work in Cambridge!" - so I know where you are coming from with the drooling!

Melissa Hicks said...

Yes they have to be blonde - I don't know why but I adore blondes .... especially with a Scandinavian bone structure. Its my fantasy, they will be bisexual - not gay. And note Sisu did not give them a gender! I am bixesxual myself so I am happy for a mix of men and women. I don't actually like them too young, I like experience and wisdom in my partners these days. I like partners that can teach *me* a thing or two - I'm past the age of enjoying puppy training.

Hilary Syddall said...

Hmm does this mean you want to come to Cambridge in term time as well then Gothy! and yes I know what you mean about wanting some experience

Melissa Hicks said...

Nah - I'm moving in next door to Mariann !!!!! She's also offered me dry white wine, local cheeses and a chocolate factory .....

In all seriousness - and you guys know my position on religion .... please do whatever you can with the deities you are acquainted with ... I just saw a job opening in Melbourne this morning that is my current job but at the next pay level up. I'll be writing the application over the weekend. The job is at RMIT which is walking distance to the Uni I want to do my Masters at ...

Claire EJ said...

Done....

Hilary Syddall said...

Humph the chocolate won then!

If you are happy with me asking the Morrigan then no problem at all hun! Oh and Cernunnos as well so yes I will ask

Melissa Hicks said...

Just no-one tell Lokii. Oh wait - Loki's already interfered with my love life - he's still laughing about that one ...

Stephen Silk said...

I can do the experience bit but probably fail on the wisdom. As for the rest... *eg*

Melissa Hicks said...

Yes my love - you fill all criteria bar two - distance and worship - you have too much distance and don't worship me anywhere near enough {grin}

Mariann Mäder said...

Okay, some really, really serious job vibe is being sent and stitches will be crossed until you get a positive reply for an interview at least!!! More so for you to get the job.

Karen R said...

Will cross all my stitches for you tonight!! LUCK LUCK LUCK

Anita B said...

Mel, best of luck on this one. It sounds absolutely ideal.

Sisu Lull said...

Sounds great! I shall certainly aim a few vibes for you.

Sisu Lull said...

If you move to Melbourne, your going to need all of those gorgeous blondes to pack your throne into the moving truck.
Sisu
(who does NOT like blondes, hence giving them all to Mel)

Nancy Murdock said...

Mel, hope this is the just what you need!!! Good luck

Lori M. said...

Oh Mel, I'm wishing you all the luck getting this position! Positive vibes coming your way!!!

Jodie Hill said...

Crossing my fingers the Melbourne thing works out!!! Many positive vibes headed your way (can't stitch vibes though, I have to work tonight UGH!)

Melissa Hicks said...

Not overly muscled .... but I really don't like a lot of body hair either .... so yeah waxed is fine. Its when they spend more time in the bathroom on a daily basis than I do that it becomes tiresome ...

Melissa Hicks said...

OK after a few PM comments I thought I'd better clarify this.

All of my long term relationships have been males. I bed women but have not yet met one similarly inclined who I would consider having a full-time relationship with. I am not ruling the possibility out, nor am I specifically looking for a partner or partners based solely on gender.

I am 36 years of age and have sexual intercourse with nine people. Some of them at the same time.

There - there's your TMI quotient for the day - I'm off to stitch.....

Sisu Lull said...

DH is reading over my shoulder and asked "Is she cute?", ROFL.
BTW, as long as we are on the TMI bent, I am straight, and I am also the ONLY woman DH has ever been with, (he says I corrupted him) so he keeps trying to talk me into a 2 girl + 1 guy thang. I guess he figures it isn't 'cheating' if I am there too. So not gonna happen, LOL. I had to burst his bubble and tell him you like tall, blonde, and Scandinavian, not short, dark, furry, and Neanderthal, LOL.

Melissa Hicks said...

Tell him that one girl two guys is LOTS of fun - but it has to be with the right two guys .....

{that'll play with his mind}

Tried the two girl one guy thang - so not for me. I get jealous really badly !!!

Lori M. said...

I dated one of "those" once and I do not recommend it! No matter how good you look, they are never satisfied. He always wanted to "fix" something on me. Oh boy, did I love dumping him! And on Valentine's Day! Woohoo!

Melissa Hicks said...

LOL !!!! Paul was one of these. I loved going clothes shopping with him - he mimicked Carson perfectly and he got the sales assistants (those foul creatures from Hell) wrapped around his little finger and they would go out of their way to find nice things for me, so he would smile at them ....

I recommend having a Carson wanna-be on every single shopping trip! However, living with them??? Oh my GOD! Having to factor in all that extra bathroom time for his primping and buffing and ..... {sigh} I got a lot of books read waiting for him to be ready. It got to the stage where I'd head down to the shops, pick up the groceries and be home before he was out of the shower - and yes we *are* on water restrictions! Bah!

Julie Nemitz said...

LOL, good luck with that one Mel!!

Mariann Mäder said...

It means you're not falling in love with a gender, but with a person - whatever the gender may be...

Good thing.

Rosanne Derrett said...

OK, my TMI moment! Yes I've tried both ways but these days I'm strickly dickly. My OH however is bi. Which has led to a startling argument recently. He was proposing a liaison in with another guy on his block. I said fine but went off at him about risking all he has acheived for sexual pleasure if he got caught. He said I was jealous (which I'm not) and I said he had carried out a poor risk assessment (crucial part of the courses he does in prison). It took him a week to calm down and listen to my side. If this happened when he was on the out, I'd be on at him about safe sex but jealousy wouldn't enter into it.

Melissa Hicks said...

Exactly :) :) Thank you Mariann :)

Melissa Hicks said...

Oh God yes - knowing the horror I went through after my marriage split and found out my husband had been sleeping with the town bike - I immediately got myself checked out and I still remember waiting for those test results to come back. The HIV one needed to be repeated over a period of time because it can be present for a period of time before I shows up on the tests ....

{smile} Stephen metaphorically held my hand through that time of my life too :)

Since that time I've always shielded myself by saying I didn't care what my partners did when they weren't with me - but if they ever brought home any diseases I would kill them! Paul was actively bisexual and the more marajuana and alcohol he took the more I insisted on safe sex. He didn't understand that I couldn't trust a partner who honestly couldn't remember what or who he did the night before. He may not have done anything - its the fact that he didn't know that was enough to make me paranoid.

Also seeing as we seem to be on a honesty TMI kick :) I don't get jealous of "fuck buddies". Friends that fuck. I've done that myself quite a few times. Its when they are in a relationship with that other person that I turn ugly. I've had my heart broken on more than one occasion because I've lost my heart to someone who loved someone else. Open relationships I can understand and I've seen them work.

But I also know that it is a human condition to love one person more than others. Parents will love all their children but they will love one more than the others. Its being human.

One of these days I will meet some one (other than my cat) who will feel that way about me ...

Rosanne Derrett said...

Oh boy Mel! You and I have been though a lot of the same things. Col hooked up with a woman often referred to as thing and moved in with her. He jacked in a good job and lost his driving livence in short order. To earn money, he went to work in a bar as the money was good and he could sleep during the day. That lasted about a week after she kicked off and accused him of having an affair (WTF?) so he had to get a job working nights in a warehouse. She used him as a babysitter, cleaner, cook, piggybank and sex slave (the only bit he enjoyed) and when on speed to keep her weight down she beat the crap out of him! He I have to say is 6'4". I repeatedly asked him to leave, but he refused as he didn't like giving up. This went on for three years until he snapped and she had him done for assault. I have spent a lot of time propping him up via phone over the years as this relationship spiralled out of control, He would ring me in absolute tears and hysteria over what was happening. When the crunch point came three months later, it was me who picked the pieces up, putting a roof over his head, supporting him and trying to get him help for the situation he was in. I've continued to do it ever since, through getting him off dope, alcohol and solvents, through the court case and beyond. I have no guarantees at the end of the sentence but it took him all of this to make him realise that there is someone out there who has faith in him and will not judge. I was shocked to find that person is me.

Have faith in yourself - love always comes from unexpected directions and you don't always recognise it.

Rosanne Derrett said...

Posting that made me cry!

Melissa Hicks said...

{{{{{{{ROSANNE}}}}}}}}}}}}}


As always whenever I start with the self-pity I find someone else who has been through so much more heartache that I feel shame to worry about my own issues .....

Many many hugs my sweet and I am so glad glad Col has someone like you and fervently hope he appreciates and understands all you are doing for him!

Rosanne Derrett said...

Hey Mel, sometimes it takes another viewpoint to put things into perspective!

I expect nothing from all this, the standing joke being he'll run off with some petite skinny blonde twenty-something on release. I find as I get older, pride counts for nothing except a big ego. Humility counts for far, far more. Remember the old saying it is better to travel in hope than to arrive - the journey is the best part of all this!

Now get on your throne and hog the cabana boys!

Melissa Hicks said...

Can I ask for a Cabana boy that is a trained nurse? I peeved that I have to take a doctors appointment to remove a "mote in my eye". Docs appointment in 30 mins and then hopefully I'll be able to see clearly out of my right eye again .....

Mariann Mäder said...

You are a remarkable woman, Rosanne. If nothing comes out of it after his release you have at least done something to lift him up and give him hope for the time after prison. That can mean he'll lead a good life from then on. You accepting that nothing may come out of it actually deserve a happy ending, but we all know that life often doesn't give us happy endings.

And as you say: the journey is the important part. We should all learn to enjoy the journey more, because that's all we get before we die anyway :-)
