Owned my own dungeon! Spent a whole year as an independent Mistress
2. Did you keep your new years’ resolutions, and will you make more for next year?

I don’t really remember dates – I have a lot of cool memories though 😉

Being a successful independent ProDomme, creating one of the best dungeons in the world (or so I’ve been told by people who’ve visited a lot more dungeons round the world than I have!)

not really – a minor sprain, a sniffle or two…

12. Whose behaviour merited celebration?
All the lovely polite submissive men that I’ve got to play with 🙂

Dungeon upkeep, toys and equipment, good wine!
15. What did you get really, really, really excited about?
Lots of fantastic play – often including rope, canes, torment and other lovely things 😉 – or did you not mean “that” sort of excited… hehehehe

Coin Operated Boy by The Dresden Dolls
17. Compared to this time last year, are you:
a) happier or sadder?
Happier

Not sure, you’d have to ask my accountant! In general I don’t worry too much about money – there’s always enough! (or near enough anyway)
18. What do you wish you’d done more of?
Walked to the dungeon instead of driving! Seen my friends – I’ve been really slack as a mate this year, just spending time making my dungeons the way I want them! Getting out a bit more…
19. What do you wish you’d done less of?
Driving when I could have walked. Lurking about at home when I could have been doing something more fun… camping/climbing/outdoor stuff – I didn’t do much this year for a change!

With my family

39. Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2004:
I don’t need to do anything I don’t want to simply to make money… the more I am true to my Dominant nature the more successful I am as a ProDomme…
40. Quote a song lyric that sums up your year:
Ooh – hard to pick…
New Order are always a good choice
“In the end you will submit
It’s got to hurt a little bit”
Or The Dresden Dolls
“coin operated boy
sitting on the shelf he is just a toy
but i turn him on and he comes to life
automatic joy
that is why i want a coin operated boy”
