Menton, France is small town on the French Riviera and only a stones throw away from Italy. Taylor’s step dad used to live in Menton, on his family’s sailboat in the 60′s. It was so wonderful following Myles around this French town who looks so Italian. It was obvious to see the memories overwhelming him as he would point out all the nooks and crannies him and his siblings would hide and play games. That for me, was the highlight of Menton.
For a town nestled along the ocean, you’ve got to try the seafood, right? Not in our case. One plate of steak tartare was dished up and check mark was added to my bucket list. The French palate is a bit more sophisticated than my lil Texan tongue. Give me my meat charred and grilled.
I strip you down and tie you up nice and tight. Throw you on the bed and pull your face to the edge. And you just know by the position I put you in, you’re going to get facefucked tonight.
But then I get my laptop.
I open it up, log in, and end up setting it on top of you as I pull out my cock, pushing it into your mouth to ensure you’re not making noise.
And you realize I’m sexting with - or, better yet, camming with someone else off of Tumblr.
Sure, I’m stroking myself against your face, my cock passing between your lips - but it is the image of their body that is turning me on, their words that are causing me to use your face faster and harder.
And if they ask what I’m thrusting against, where my cock is as they hear me moan and shudder in response to the things they’re telling me and showing me, I’ll just tell them “I’m just using a sex toy.”
Of course, they’ll know damn well I’m using you as a tool to get off, but we’ll both ignore you and pretend you’re just a masturbation aid.
And when I finally moan and shoot a big load right down your throat, making you choke on it, it’ll be the other girl I thank for being so good for me and getting me off.
Volunteers to my inbox, for either side of that equation, really…
Oh damn. I totally want to do this - on both sides of the camera.
It’s the birthday of my blue-eyed slut, so I’m writing a little something to show her what I might do for her were she here…
“Happy birthday!” I say to you with a squeeze as the alarm goes off. You’re soft and warm underneath the covers as I press myself against you.
You mumble a sleepy reply as I kiss the back of your neck… I murmer next to your ear, “Since it is your birthday, I’m going to treat my slut very, very well today…” My hand moving down over your belly between your legs, starting to rub your pussy. Feeling you respond, I press myself in against you, fingering you as I kiss at your neck and bite lightly…
“Does the birthday girl want to get fucked?”, I ask… You nod and moan a yes even as I’m fingering your cunt.
Soon I’ve pushed you over onto your belly and you can feel me hard behind you… Grabbing your hair and then your hip as I push my cock into you and start to fuck you slow but deep early in the morning.
As I move inside of you, I’d lean down closer to you, moving my hand from your hip to your throat as I whisper in your ear, “You remember no cumming without permission, right?”
A soft moan of affirmative from you as I squeeze your throat a little.
Not much longer after that I hear you squeak your first real words “May…may I cum?”
“No. No cumming, slut.”
A frustrated moan from you as I pulled out of you - I’m not cruel, I won’t tell you no and then keep fucking you. Not on your birthday.
So close to cumming myself, I grab your shoulder and roll you over onto your back, taking your hair in hand again as I push my cock into your mouth, letting you taste yourself on my cock as you suck me off obediently. It doesn’t take long before I cum hard into your mouth. You’re such a good slut for me.
As I pull my cock from your mouth, caressing your hair, you complain plaintively “But it’s my birthday!”
Smiling as I look down at you, caressing your cheek. “I told you I’d treat you very, very well, slut…and I’m going to. Just no cumming on your birthday. I’m going to tease you and taunt you and edge you all day. And then come midnight, when I finally let you cum as much as you want, you’re going to thank me for treating you so very well on your birthday.”
I grin, moving my hand back up into your hair and taking a firmer grip in your hair again and moving you back to my cock. “You can feel free to curse me until then. Now get sucking me hard again slut, I intend to fuck you at least a couple of times today before I start relying on fingers, mouth, and toys to keep you on edge for the rest of the day…”
and I found like, twelve ebooks I’ve been wanting to read on there, and blasted through like three of them during the course of a boring-ass shift.
Guy there are books on magic on there.
There’s books on EVERYTHING there!
Wouldn’t this be bad for authors though? or is this like a normal library where they get /some/ money?
It’s like a normal library. Libraries can upload ebooks there and let people check them out through openlibrary if you have an openlibrary account, or it can point you to nearby libraries that have physical copies of the book for you to go and check out. If you check out books via openlibrary it counts towards the count of books checked out from the library that uploaded the ebook, and they can use it in their reporting and funding and stuff.
There’s like 150 libraries partnered with openlibrary so far.
They also have copies that you can check out if you are print-disabled.
You can also ‘sponsor a book’, which means you pay the cost of the ebook you want openlibrary to acquire, and then they can add it to their collection and let people check it out.
And click on a title even if it says ‘no ebook available’ and scroll down, ‘cause sometimes that just means “all of the copies of ebooks are checked out right now but you can get on the waitlist when it’s back in”
This is part of the Internet Archive! I’ve posted about this before. Please go, it’s amazing.
The Leshan Giant Buddha in Sichuan province of China. Construction of this massive statue began in 713 AD, and was completed in 803 AD. So much excavated stone was deposited in the river, that the water currents were changed and the river became safe for boats.
Salar de Uyuni in Bolivia is the largest salt flat on earth, over ten thousand square kilometres. The surface is a thick crust that developed over an ancient salt lake. During the rainy season the flat is flooded with a thin film of water that turns it into a massive mirror.
I visited Ireland finally and went to the titanic experience! I only had 24 hours to cram everything into but Dublin and Belfast were amazing.Both are beautiful cities steeped in history and character.
I’ve always been fascinated with the titanic,going to the experience has been high on my bucket list for some time now and I would very much recommend going.
In light of recent events (aka the horrible incident that happened in Colorado around midnight last night) I have decided it is indeed time to talk about life, this journey, and what it means.
To be quite honest with you, I think everyone is fully aware that life is short, but a lot of people take that for granted. Far too many people also take life way too seriously. As annoying and overused the phrase “YOLO” is, it is extremely true. As far as we know, you do only live once, so make it worthwhile. Life is too short for regrets, so even if you do regret something, put it behind you and move on. Stop thinking about and living in the past. Live in the present. Live in the present, because this is where you are now, this is the youngest you will ever be again, and frankly, if you don’t you will probably wind up regretting these moments too. I have made a lot of decisions in the past where I am not like “well shit I should have never done [or said] that” but then I put it behind me. Screw regret. It’s just our mind’s way of haunting us.
I was talking to one of my friends today about work, telling him how busy I have been all week working overtime to get everything done that needed to be done. He’s usually not serious - always the one making jokes and the one we go to for a laugh, not advice - but he said something serious and seriously true - “you have the rest of your life to be an adult. You’re in your prime, have fun and do what you want”. That’s something we tend to forget. We’re so busy with school and/or work that we forget to be a kid sometimes. We forget that this is our time - with no kids, no bills to pay, no worries other than school and work - to have fun. This is our time to be adventurous, to stay up all night and have a movie marathon just because we can, to make our dreams a reality.
That’s what this whole bucket list thing is about. It’s about taking things that seem impossible and so far out of our reach, and make them possible. To make our wildest dreams come true. If you would have told me when I started high school that by the time I finished my first year of college I’d have started rowing, driven a four-wheeler, and most importantly, found friends who I can be my complete self around and not care what anyone thinks, then I would have told you you’re effing insane and should probably check yourself into a mental institution. Five years ago I worried about so much - what people thought of me, how my hair looked (god forbid I went au natural), what I got on every single test and quiz, how I acted. I thought I had to be perfect. I think part of it is how I was raised. I love my parents, but there came a point where I just stopped listening to them. I didn’t rebel, but I realized that my parents are the parents that push me to do more and strive for more - nothing is ever good enough. I realized that I could never make them (or anyone) happy if I didn’t first make myself happy. The more I focused on my own personal happiness, the more happy my parents became as well (shocker, shocker right? haha).
This whole incident at the movie theater in Colorado is a horrible reminder of how short life is. We never know when God will decide it is our time to go - whether it will be tragically or naturally. He has a plan for each of us (sorry I’m not sorry for the God-talk you non-believers out there, but this is my blog, I’ll say what I want ;] ) and no one, not even doctors, know what that is. It’s like the infamous case of a doctor telling a patient they have x amount of time to live, and then they wind up living longer. No human knows, only God does. I’m not in any way saying God’s plan for James Holmes was for him to be personally responsible for the largest shooting in U.S. history, killing a dozen people and injuring dozens more, but I am saying people are taken from us all too soon sometimes, because loss teaches us a painful reminder - one that we need. No one goes to a movie theater thinking “Hm, maybe there will be a mass shooting tonight.” There was a 6-year-old, 4-year-old, and 4 month-old baby in that audience. If my parents had taken me to a midnight premier of a movie when I was 6 and I got to wear a costume to boot, I’d have told every kid I knew and every kid I saw. I would never think of something like that could ever happen. As if kids weren’t scared enough of the world, add witnessing a mass murder. I can almost guarantee those kids, along with many other witnesses are going to suffer from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). The world? Yeah it’s kind of a mess. But of course it is. I researched this guy and it sounds like he didn’t really have many friends, and when he got to Colorado to get his PhD it sounds like he didn’t have any. He went on a downward spiral. He had no friends there, his grades dropped, he started to withdrawal from school, and he started to buy guns. Humans need friends - psychology will tell you that. It’s kind of hard to believe, but in all honesty if he had some friends in Colorado, there’s a chance this tragedy would not have happened. The same goes for the Virginia Tech shooter. There is a recurring trend here, which really gets me thinking about friendship. Everyone deserves a friend. Even just 1 good friend. My friends keep my feet on the ground, and the same could have rung true for those 2 men. But instead, these days (along with many others) will go down in infamy.
“Life is too short to stress yourself with people who don’t even deserve to be an issue in your life.” -Anonymous
Went to college and as it turns out the person I became best friends with owns four-wheelers. So of course when I went to go visit her over Christmas break, she took me four-wheeling and let me drive. Then made fun of me because I was so cautious, but hell, there were a lot of trees around haha sorry I’m not sorry. It was still awesome.
With our 1st year of college behind us, I think it’s safe to say we both left our comfort zones and tried something new.
For me, a girl who hadn’t been in athletics since my freshman year of high school, I became a Division 1 athlete. In high school I had reached that point in my life where I just said I was done with sports. Growing up I was always involved with sports, so to my parents this came as a shock. I always had that feeling like something was missing from my life though. When I got to college there was a meeting for the rowing team - no strings attached and more importantly, no experience necessary. If you wanted to get involved and try it, that was great, but you could also decide it wasn’t for you. After the meeting, I definitely had a feeling it was something I needed to try. After my very first practice on the water, I was hooked. That’s the thing about rowing - it just gets you. Obviously it’s not for everyone - 4 am alarms, 5:30 am rows in 30 degree weather (rain or shine…well more like blackness as the sun has yet to come up), a body that is constantly in pain no matter how many stretches you do to try to relieve it, lactic acid buildup in your muscles (particuarly your legs) from pushing your muscles to near failure, no social life, every hour of my day is schedule, and in case morning practices weren’t enough there are always those infamous 2-a-days - yeah, this is what I have come to willingly put myself through. I would definitely say I learned a lot about myself via rowing. Never in my life did I ever think I could do this. Rowing is just as mental as it is physical. You have to be trained to learn that your mind will tell you to stop, but your body will keep going, you just have to push through the hell. Yeah it sucks when my entire body is in an extreme amount of pain, but it feels awesome after when you’re on your rowing high (and when you get to eat a bajillion calories a day because rowing is one of the highest calorie-burning sports. It’s just my excuse to eat all the time and only get semi-judged for it.)
As for Audrey, she auditioned and performed in a play - something she said she would do in high school but never got time for. And she also ran a half marathon…in freaking Disney World with the characters along the sides cheering the runners on. Lucky bitch. But I can’t speak too much for her because we go to different schools so lord only knows if she tried anything else new (oh and she brought her best friend some cuppy cakes to one of her races near Audrey’s school hehe yeah she’s my favorite person :p )

Okay so Audrey went, I didn’t, but both of us have had the cupcakes.
I drove by one day - on a weekday nonetheless - at an obscure hour, and the line was still redonkulous. Yeah, when my time in limited in D.C., I’m not going to spend 2 hours waiting for cupcakes. Sorry I’m not sorry.
Anyway, both of us agree that while the cupcakes were indeed good, they weren’t exactly what we expected. What with all the hype, the 2 hour long wait just to get 1 cupcake, it’s not exactly worth it. While they are good, there is nothing really special about them. They’re just like the cupcakes we bake at home pretty much, not too different.
If you’re in D.C. and looking for some awesomely awesome cupcakes, but don’t want to wait for forever and a day at Georgetown Cupcakes, try Sprinkles Cupcakes (they actually have locations in 10 cities throughout the USA). Sprinkles has more cupcake flavors to choose from (yeah, you can even get your puppy a cupcake there, no lie), they’re definitely more special than something I could easily make at home (I may be a skilled baker, but shit, I can’t make a chai latte cupcake. Who the hell even thought that was a possibility??). I’ve never been there myself (Audrey surprised me by bringing me 2 cupcakes to 1 of my races this year, best friend of the year award? I think so.) but seriously. Go get them. They’re amazing.
I actually crossed this one off in the summer, but hell, college is time consuming. Seriously you don’t really know until you get there just how freaking time consuming it is. Conveniently, my little cousin had her birthday party at a zoo, so I got to cross off a list item without even really trying…for once. :)
This was probably one of the most fun bucket list items. Ever. No joke. In Disney World we did this, and it became sort of a game. We’d wave to people and say hi, and if someone waved back We’d cheer and shout “THANK YOU!!!!!”
Probably the best reaction was from a guy our age. We waved and said hi, as usual, and then he walked over and said: “Hi!!!! Do I know you?” Of course we said no and explained what we were doing and we had a quick conversation with him, and if he is reading this (slim chance, we forgot to mention our little “project”), then sir, you are awesome.
I (Marissa) also saw one of the extras they called out from the audience for the Indiana Jones and said “HI! YOU DID GREAT IN THE INDIANA JONES SHOW!!!!!” He was flattered.
For senior week, we went to Disney World with some friends, and to help cope with our depression of leaving the happiest place on earth, we walked right into a big crowd and started cheering the people on. We yelled things like “WOOHOO! YOU GO INTO THAT PARK!” “GO! GO! GO! HAVE FUN!” and so on. The confused and “what kind of freaks are these people?” stares made it even better, and crossed another item off the list. BOOM.
Okay, okay, so it wasn’t midnight. It was still one in the morning and I’m still crossing this one off the list, because it was close enough, I arrived at midnight, and it was AWESOME! haha
Saw a 1:00 am premier of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2. It was AMAZING and depressing at the same time because it marked the end of an era :(
The theater was packed, I drank 24 ounces of coffee beforehand and couldn’t stop shaking until around 5:30 am , my friend shouted “WHO’S EXCITED?!” in between some of the previews when it was quiet, and everyone freaked. People were dressed up (I went as Hermione), I stayed awake for a full 24 hours, and through it all Audrey was asleep at home because she had to get her wisdom teeth out the following morning. Sucks, I know.
Oh and did I mention I saw it twice on opening day? It was so good I saw it again that night. If you haven’t seen it yet, you should go see it. Seriously. :)
Okay, so Audrey was lame and had to work. I crossed this one off with another friend. May i just add it was the 1st time I have ever driven out of state, and the 1st time I drove for over an hour (glad to know I have had my license for 2 years).
Took a road trip to visit friends at the beach and stay the night. By the time we got our bathing suits and sun block on, and our butts down to the actual beach it got all cloudy and started to rain. Fun stuff, I know. Haha but at least it was sunny the following day and at least we crossed off another list item! (Of course I forgot my camera and the one on my phone was broken, so no picture or video for this one)
Well, it’s only been forever and a day since we updated, so it’s about time to do so.
We wrote countless papers, pulled some all-nighters, became caffeine addicted due to said all-nighters, made some really awesome friends along the way, and we are now gradumacated! Schwing! (Wayne’s World anyone?) Well we actually graduated over a month ago, but hey, it’s been a busy summer, and now that we’re off to college in less than a month, I figured it was time to update this tumblr with everything we have crossed off over the summer.
Hello world! Yes. It may, in fact, seem like, we either … a) Fell off the face of the earth completely or b) Don’t actually exist. I am sorry to inform you that, yes, we did fall off the face of the earth, and pleased to add that yes, we are in fact real people. We’ve just gone into a slight hiatus because of school, exams, part time jobs, dance recitals, attacks from rabid monkeys and everything in between. Summer is coming up fast, so be expecting some mayhem and tomfoolery in the near future! (Side note: crossing off 2 list items in 2 weeks…have us a little day trip planned. Because we’re just so nifty.) All the best, Aud PS. I’ve also added a few new items to the list! Check it out!
