I’d like to clarify something that may or may not help me look like less of a big ol’ perv. I bought the boots and the jacket but the hat, chaps and harness were gifts from gentlemen admirers in my past. Hey, some say it with flowers, some say it with butless chaps. It takes all kinds ya know. ---

All in all, this has been a most _revealing_ thread. I can’t decide with female MMPer to be madly infatuated with. Fortunatly I have a glass “floor” in my office so I just need to use a cloth to wipe up the puddle of drool. And (I know I’ll hate myself for asking this, since the answer is bound to be TMI), but what, pray tell, my dear **Swampington** , is a “harness” and what is it’s special purpose? ---

Me, I’ll simply report that I’m sitting here in fishnet stockings, quietly devouring chicken and dumplings. GT What? Fishnet stockings aren’t the same thing as flannel jammies? Well, don’t tell THEM that…they really don’t need to know. ---

Mr. Lissar and Friend From Work are beating each other up. The floor is vibrating slightly. Friend From Work appears to be biting Mr. Lissar’s ankles. What do _normal_ twenty-somethings do for amusement? Driving Husband has just found someone on okcupid who appears to be my closest friend from high school. We parted on complicated bad terms. I’m going to spend the next few days agonising about whether to contact her or not. ---

I was showing **Mr. Taters** some of the posts in here. **Wintermute** , his eyes got REALLY big when he read your post. He told me to tell you that you are his hero (you know the guy fantasy thing). He got a real kick out of **Shibb’s** ER scenario too. Well, I must report that I am wearing nothing more exciting than my work clothes…gray slacks, black sweater, and I’m not sayin’ what’s underneath. We have just finished up playing some WoW and completed quests on there. I’ve become such a gaming nerd. :o Well, I need to get up early to work. Night all ---

Darn, that’s what I get for not contributing to the MMP yesterday, I didn’t get to play dress-up with the rest of the girls (and **Swampy** ). Fun wardrobe items I own: leather waist cincher, leather bra, latex mini-skirt, high heel boots with lacing up the back, fishnets, turquoise deer-skin flogger (yes, really. It’s very pretty). I also own a Ren Fair costume that displays my assets very nicely. I have nice legs, a very cute behind and long brunette, naturally wavy hair. And **Wintermute** and I have something in common, I like boys and girls also. I think this is one of the oddest MMP’s in a long while. Happy Joining Day, **Rue**. And {{hugs}} to **Tupug**. ---

Huh. I almost bought a leather bra several years ago. I really want a mesh shirt- fishnet or whatever. I have a vinyl miniskirt. Also a couple of mid-1750’s gowns. Really low necklines. Very pretty. Bellydancing gear but not a full cabaret outfit because they’re expensive. I also wear a lot of thigh-high socks. I’ve always wanted straight hair. I have waist length wavy very very dark brown hair. It gets frizzy in summer. i’m not working today. Mr. Lissar is off buying sai (pointy little pitchfork weapons) and then we’ll loaf around until going to his godparent’s for a brithday dinner. I should pick up some wine. Probably more Cat’s Pee. ---

This has nothing to do with leather fashion, stockings, shapely legs/boobs/butts, or recipes. After a long and drawn out fight with the IUPUI Bursar over a check they lost, the last course credits have been posted to my record. I now have my 2nd Bachelor’s degree. It’s now a wait for the sheepskin. Best of all, I can now go after my old employer for that education benny they promised me when they shoved me out the door. $1200 and change will pay off my real estate agent nicely… **Woot! Woot!** ---

> [@Sean Factotum](#): > > Yeah, congrats, **Bob**. > What does IUPUI stand for anyway? Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis. I moved here in the middle of the fall '03 semester, just when I was about to finish the degree. This past Thanksgiving, I went back to finish it up by giving a presentation for a project, and to test out of a different class. I wanted to get it all done then, but I couldn’t get all concerned to put out the effort finish their parts to allow me to walk everything through. At Xmas, I went back to finish the walkthrough, and in a moment of bureaucratic stupidity, the Bursar lost the check I write to cover the recording fees for the class I tested out of. I spent most of January fighting with them via e-mail because all they could do was play office instead of finding the check. It was Pit-worthy, but I didn’t do it. I stopped payment on the lost check, and sent them a new one, which they honored. I’m half-expecting them to encumber my degree until I fork over the NSF fees on the one I stopped payment on, just because they’re that petty and stupid. Provided, of course, that they found it and tried to circulate it… IUPUI Bursar-\> :wally ---
