Time-Sensitive Material
It was my first time. I was, admittedly, nervous. My hands were shaking a little. OK, perhaps a lot. I might have broken into a very slight sweat. It wouldn’t go in at first. Despite repeated attempts at precision guidance . . . followed by repeatedly slipping away at the last nanosecond. More than once it simply sprang out of my hand. It was beyond frustrating but I wanted it so very much. I was determined to make it happen. More than once I even found myself appealing to various deities, pleading not for help but for it to just work right.
Moments of pounding against the kitchen counter were interspersed with calmer stretches of measured breathing. Some colourful language might have reverberated through the airwaves. I know I was loud enough for the neighbours to overhear and perhaps to feel a little concerned due to the vocal sounds I was emitting. Granted, I was practically howling towards the ceiling more than once. Finally . . . finally, it was IN and I was transported to heaven. Seconds ticked by . . . a minute . . . I cannot begin to describe my ecstasy!!
Once it was over there was no going back . . . I will NEVER again try to replace the spring bars in my watch-strap!!!

Not going to lie, I got all hot and bothered thinking this post was about trying to open a can of cinnamon rolls.
Mmmm…. cinnamon rolls.

Violet: What a lovely thought!
Narm: Shouldn’t that be “Nom Nom Nom” or am I being too girlie with my cute double reference to your name and LOLCats?
Fool: Time and time again!
VTech: How many times do I have to tell you that I only watch p0rn, I don’t write it! Well, I don’t post it here, this is not that kind of site.
Albert: I thought only the kiddies over at OD used “ryn” type commenting. *smirk-smooch*

ryn: well you can’t really win a discussion, its not about winning–now an arguement, well that’s a different story.
i’m not looking for an arguement, but for all the problems this country has and for all of it’s faults, i happen to believe it does more good than any other country as well. we’re far from perfect and i spend a lot of time and effort pointing out our faults, but we do a whole lot of good–always have.

Albert: I’m trying to resist the temptation to rattle your cage a little more with some kind of comment about “You mean like all the good we’re doing in Iraq right now?” BUT, this is simply not the forum for a serious discussion AND my intent, as aforementioned, was simply to give you a little playful poke . . . um, so to speak.
