Emotions

I'm sitting at a friends house.
We've just been to a LARP that shall remain nameless as I'm going to be referring to people there.
I'm planning to run an event soon and the internal politics - poeple getting angry at other people from others ets and games. Sigh. There we go then.

Currently people are discussing other people and their options and attitudes.
Now.
Reflections on the events- things to ponder upon
Playing a creature who manipulates emotions - pleasure and pain [s&m, thoughts, echoes - memories here..]
A player who, unfortunately due to his past [losing family in a car accident and only recalling a loud noise] not reacting well - obviously - to surprise loud noises. Like me yelling BOO in the dark.
Guilt
upset.
Feeling their emotions, memories - knowing the cause of it was me, knowing the pain of loss and the intesnisty of a recollection - knowing there was nothing I could do to help.
What do I do? Intensified by then others doing the same to him, because I did it to them earlier...
tiredness.
thoughts
echoes. ideas. a need for sleep and heat being too hot.
nice food sttttling in my stomach.

So yeah -0 I'm doing my family tree  -alot - which is interesting especially as with one member of my family I'm not talking, another is far away, and dealing with death recently, and I'm in London, feeling alone yet at same time surrounded by ancestors hiding in Willesden and surrounding areas.

Also, testing out a feature of windows by blogging this...

more to come reader, more to come

From Alexander Cartwright

An invitation. From Alexander Cartwright, the professor you once met, along time ago while at university. Yes, you, reader, know who I'm talking about.
Enjoy.

This is not just fun, this is S&M fun

BDSM
So - consenting adults - do we have a right to tie one another up and indulge activites that are illegal in this country.
Regardless of my own involvement, or lack of involvement, when I did a course on Philophy at university, BDSM came up. Can two consenting adults consent to actual bodily harm?
Boxing - yes.
Tattooing - yes.
Circumcision of babies...
of adults...
BDSM?

Ah, the last is sexual, the first is sport, second art or self-indulgence [and involves, usually, transerence of currency], the third and fourth either medical or religious...
Sexual is pure choice of two people - isn't it?

Vulnerable adults need to be protected- granted. But at the same time, the 'english vice' of BDSM should not be ilegal if no-one who is not consenting is involved...
should it?

The lawstates that violence that is actual bodily arm is cruelty and unpredictably dangerous. Isn't boxing as well and therefore more dangerous as we encourage people to watch, and even charge for such spectacles?

So - I've not been typing for a while - the phrase been a bit tied up springs to mind...

Best of both worlds...

"It's the worst of any world because you don't really belong anywhere, because you are never sure of yourself or those around you. You can't trust in anyone, their motives or their intentions. And because of that, you have, in a world that likes its nice shiny labels, no true identity."
