Have a Pickle. I Have Spares.

Oh, shit.

Two issues have arisen this past week to gain new levels of priority, impelled by that all too familiar feeling of “Processing.” One came to light incrementally — a long-standing issue that has become impossible to ignore. It’s in the way of my personal growth, now, and while I’m not sure how I’m going to Continue reading →

Sheta’s Paranormal Noise Radio Interview – Part One

We covered sex and other stuff nobody cares about. ;)

Okay, sorry for the delay. Here’s the archive of my radio show — the first segment; there will be more to follow at some point. Be advised, this is a 29 megabyte file, so adjust accordingly. Link to Sheta’s Paranormal Noise radio interview. Click to play, or right click and “save target as.” You can Continue reading →

Icons Galore

I’ve updated a few commenter icons – everyone who posted a comment in the most recent entry either has a new icon or an updated one (including me). If you don’t yet have an icon on this site or would like a new one, please leave a comment. I tend to go by instinct as Continue reading →

Meridjet Motives in a New Light

I was reading Wikipedia a bit ago, about schema therapy. There was a link at the bottom to their page on Cognitive Dissonance, in which I found this gem: Most of the research on cognitive dissonance takes the form of “induced compliance without sufficient justification.” In these studies, participants are asked to write an essay Continue reading →

Where’s YOUR Clitoris?

Random memory time. A few years back on LiveJournal, I was a member of several sexuality communities ranging from “Fem Submissives” (which I owned for a short stint when it was passed to me, before I ultimately passed it on to someone else) and other kink communities to “Sex Tips,” which I helped out on Continue reading →

List: Famous Men I’d Have Lots and Lots of Sex With

A friend of mine on LiveJournal posted a list, with photos, of men she’d “have lots and lots of sex with.” I thought I’d gank her idea and provide a list here, if I can come up with one. In no particular order, then, I give you my list of Hot To Sheta famous (and Continue reading →

A Break, For a Dream

My birds were being so loud for so long that I had to take an Ativan. Sheesh. Now I have headphones on so as to gain some control over what noise I’m exposed to. It reminded me of my dream this morning. The dream seemed important so I want to make a record of it. Continue reading →

Halloweens of Yore, and Spirit-Induced UTIs

This post is from November 2, 2003 (the one I just posted was from October of 2003, but the events themselves were four years prior). I’m going to bed in a minute but wanted to leave one more Meridjet-related story before I went. I’m trying to sleep forward; sleep deprivation backfires and makes me manic, Continue reading →

There’s A Storm Comin’ and We’d All Best Be Ready When She Does

The tropical storm known as Edouard (that’s not a typo) is hovering off the coast of Texas/Louisiana in the Gulf of Mexico and is due to hit here tomorrow. And when I say, “here,” I do mean here. Observe: That star is the location of my house. Though Edouard (I guess that sounds like “Edward,” Continue reading →

Trust is a Difficult Issue

For documentation purposes, I need to post about a recent event, though there’s only so much I want to post publicly. I’m looking into a way to filter some posts to registered users of this site, but for now I will only give a sketchy description and it will have to do. A couple of weeks ago, Meridjet encouraged me to go out on a limb in a situation I was having trouble with. He told me that if I would trust him and “do what you need to do,” that it would resolve itself within a few days. He gave a specific day, Wednesday, and of course I took it to mean the following Wednesday. He also said that holding on to a situation too tightly out of

Meridjet’s Use of the Process

As promised, I’m posting some archival stuff since InsaneJournal is loading (albeit slowly). I’m going to put in a few excerpts in an attempt to create a progression because it’s been a while since my last set of archival posts.

From 13 October 2003:

…First off, it became increasingly apparent yesterday that Meridjet’s reassurances Saturday night sounded rote because they were. In fact, that was all he said to me. Reassurance x3, sex, sleep. It took a while to dawn on me. Sometimes I’m dense. I guess I was just so badly in need of reassurance that I was willing to accept what he held out. In fact, it was just adding to the overall Work process.

After last night’s hard processing (Sorry for the constant use of that word, but that’s

Archives: Processing and Pain

I noticed yesterday that my posts with cuts (or at least the most recent one) seem to hit the RSS feed without a link, so goody for you folks reading the feed, I guess. But I am still using a cut tag here, because it allows me to pretend there’s something like security on this post, which in turn allows me to lower the overall embarrassment effect when I think of people seeing this. :))
