These past few days have been downright freezing cold and we’ve gotten our first snowfall here, less than an inch, but nonetheless, winter is upon us! Most people hate winter, it’s dreary, depressing, and cold. On the other hand, Winter may be one of my favorite seasons! It means hot chocolate, fuzzy socks, cozy sweaters, hot coffee, ice skating, spiced gumdrops, candy canes, Christmas and presents, hot apple cider, cute winter boots, cute winter jackets, tights and leggings, scarves, bubble baths, blankets,...

Reading the recent discussions on safewords, and it is good to see people engaging in adult exchanges of ideas and opinions, has led me to thinking a little on a recent and ongoing situation.

Those of you who follow the forum threads may be aware of the ongoing interrogation game involving myself, Icy and Hearty. A summary for those who are unaware. Basically each girl starts an hour long scene with a particular word that I do not know. Their task is to get to the end of an hour...

No. Despite the title of the blog, I am not replacing IceMaiden, I am speaking of the year. How dare you even think I meant anyting else?

It has been quite a year. My personal life went mad, exploded, ran round in circles for a few months, then landed me almost exactly where I was at the start, just with a few lingering scars that may continue to hurt for a long time after. I came to fully realise what is important to me, what I am willing to sacrifice for it, and what really doesnt...

There have been times I have called both IceMaiden and Hearty "good girl" and been met with the response "Why?" As they havent seen themselves doing something particularly deserving of praise in the minutes preceeding, they are genuinely confused as to why they are being praised.

My girls are brats. No, really, I know this may come as a surprise to you all, but they are. They are cheeky, funloving, mischievious, and both think they are hilarious. Put them...

I’ve taken many big steps in the last few weeks, but none bigger than the step I took today.

It has been four very long years since an evil man stripped me of so many things, my innocence, years of my life, my ability to love, and so much more. I never thought I’d forgive this man that did something so horrible to me...but today, I sat face to face with him for the first time in four years and I forgave him and it was the best feeling in the entire world.

I had never addressed...

I hate valentines day. Those of you who know me a little may not be surprised to find that out. Those of you who know me well certainly wont be surprised that I am going to enter here into one of my rants.

I shall begin with the cards. I hate greetings cards. I hate having to spend up to £5 to tell someone "enjoy this day that was created by the person conning me out of the cost of this card." I mean seriously, it is a bit of fucking cardboard. All greetings cards should...

So my IceMaiden came to visit me today. She will be here 3 days. Due to unavoidable commitments though, we are only able to see each other a limited amount of time every day.

Today we got two hours together, which is not enough. We will have longer tomorrow. But even though two hours is such a very short amount of time, it was worth every second of planning and worry, and I wouldn't trade that time for anything. It is safe and fair to say that I am, if anything, more in love with my...
