Update, random thoughts and a Hook Suspension/Blood Party Report

Lets see..........what have I done since January you ask? Well, enough so that I haven't had time to blog AND do all the other sorts of fun, cool stuff that I get to do.

Business has been sort of slow, which really wasn't that bad other than the financial burden it can place not having that lovely extra pocket change that My business brings in. I've taught a few classes, been to a few kink parties but mostly I just took a break and tried out staying home and NOT spending money. How did that go?

Well, it was actually more challenging than I thought it would be. I recognized that I have been very fortunate and for the last five years I have done what I wanted to do, gone where I wanted to go, bought what I wanted to buy and really did not have any financial suffering (or responsibility). I do have some choices still but they are different. I am trying to learn the value the almighty dollar. I am trying to keep my money in my pocket and learn how to delay the instant gratification. Its been hard! I have not been on a shopping spree of any kind since January. I am in recognition of just how much it costs to keep up this body on a daily basis.

Consider the costs of regular eyebrow waxing, haircuts, manicures, pedicures, lotions, potions, make up, and hair products. That alone costs a penny or two and those are just the basics!

Add in the fact that I needed new glasses, new sunglasses, dental work, medical copays that are becoming more significant and one starts to say Fuck! This shit is expensive! Now in the NW we have gas approaching the $4 mark. When the hell are the Democrats coming? This administration is killing us financially!

My motorycycle now has more than 12,000 miles on it and I need new tires. I WANT new pipes, new air cleaner, passenger back rest and a tent for summer camping on the bike. So I guess its time to get off my lazy ass, do some shameless self promotion, get some asses in here to beat, schedule a few more classes and hope for the sun!

Blood Play Party and Suspension Hook/Energy Pull Report

So those crazy kids Rena and Elwood came back to Seattle for the Quarterly Blood Party. Elwood, Rena, Amus and Don came down to do a performance art piece, a class on Safety in the Dungeon and then there was a party to spill some blood. For more information on Elwood and his Body Piercing/Modification see my November and January posts for his information.

I felt very honored to be part of the support team for their Suspension Hook Visual Feast. This is not an easy thing to pull off, especially when you come from another country (Canada) and are doing it in a place where you've never done it before, with people that you've never done it with before. Amus first pierced Elwood in his back with 4, 8 gauge hooks. Then he pierced Amus and Rena with 2 each 10 gauge hooks in their chest/breast tissue. The CD began and Tool and Marilyn Manson blasted from the speakers. There was a good size crowd. Rena and Amus slowly lifted Elwood off the ground with their hooks connected to his via some nice rope. I can only say that it was a visual spectacal for the eyes and kept everyone transfixed on the participants for almost an hour. Energetically, it was amazing to be part of this scene. It made me want to do my own hook pull even more.

I first witnessed this type of "energy pull" about two years ago at a women's kinky campout that I helped to organize. We drummed and called to the spirit world, it was outdoors at a very spiritual place and I was again asked to be someone's support person for this journey. At that moment I was intrigued and scared of it, but knew that I would eventually go on this journey myself.

There was an opportunity to do this again at Wicked Womyn but I had way too much on my plate already and I really wanted to control the energy exchange.......I'm told I have trouble letting go and that I have control issues so of course, I wanted to control the setting in which I was to completely let go.............duh!

This was the right evening for me to experience this journey. I had the right people to pierce and help me on this powerful, solitary journey. I have had some pretty intense experiences with piercing lately. I had four people put 256 needles in Me at Wicked Womyn. It took 20 minutes. It took about 2 minutes to pull them all out. Since then, I haven't really been interested in being pierced.

But I felt that this would be a different kind of intense experience and restore my desire to have sharp pointy things poked into My skin. If the idea is that you need more and more to achieve the same feelings of an endorphin rush or high, where does it end? Hmmmmm. I was truly concerned that I had lost the desire and I was sad about that. There is an energy exchange and intimacy that comes from being in a play piercing scene that is very different from other S/m experiences I have had over the years. I've bonded with people over needles and blood.

Those experiences are carved in My psyche as positive, pushing the limits, energy immersion, spiritual and intense. For Me, this particular hook pull was a catalyst for some badly needed introspection into why I was in some destructive relationships and that ending those relationships was what I needed to do. My feet never left the ground but I held My own weight and got back in touch with My warrior woman. She's been missing in action lately and I am on a quest to find her again. Even though there was a room full of people, I was alone with My own energy, My own quest and My own spiritual place. My friends held onto the rope and Me but let Me control how much I pulled, for how long, how much weight I put on the hooks and stretched My skin and when I ready to be done. When I was done, I was a tender noodle emotionally and needed more after care than I've ever needed before. I was a puddle for quite a few days.
Each time I look at My beautiful 12 gauge hooks, I relive the experience.
