A few months after opening up our marriage in 2006 I started a blog. It was an anonymous blog, whose address I don’t think I even remember, that I used as a diary to share graphic details about the dates I was going on. Sex with others, while married, was new and it felt great hitting publish on a dirty post that was going out into cyberspace, as we called it back then. #old
This was back before the days of Twitter or me being on Facebook so there wasn’t really an easy way for me to inform people about this dirty diary. I told a few friends and *Harvey knew – which was really weird as I’d write about our BDSM times together, knowing he’d read it, automatically giving him insight into my thoughts. *See: Glutton for punishment.
I stopped writing in the blog after a while, even though I’d developed a small group of devoted, anonymous pervy followers. In March of 2008 I started this blog and realized immediately that I had to view posting very differently. No longer was I anonymous open marriage girl, I was Samantha Fraser and everybody knew it. If I had a bad date or sexual encounter, I couldn’t very well share it without fearing some dating drama wrath to come down on me.

Steph is being extra lovely to me today. First he told me this morning – when I think I look like a bag of crap – that I’m so much hotter now than I was 5 years ago when I was 25. I can’t say I disagree, which at 30 years old is a pretty awesome thing to say / feel about oneself. Here’s the pictures; see for yourself.

It’s a Friday today which means date time for a lot of you this weekend and a Twitter conversation had me thinking about it so here’s some weekend, or whenever, dating advice from yours truly.
Before you take this advice you should understand my dating history and take everything with a grain of salt. Remembering though, that at the end of the day I’m happy so don’t suck on the salt for too long. Read more »

So hard that I’m even stealing titles from my own blog because my brain is feeling tapped.
Well not really. In actuality my brain is feeling fuzzy. I’m stuck in a weird place trying to kick my own ass into writing and I keep being distracted. Fighting distractions is one of my biggest problems.
Ooh look! There’s a kitty! There’s Twitter! OkC! There’s an orgasm waiting to be had!
I don’t know how to reward myself with fun social media time and instead just spend my time on it. Rather than save a friends’ holiday photos for after I’m done my work, I’ll interrupt my writing – mid sentence – to travel to a distant land, virtually.
I am a virtual tourist stalker with undiagnosed ADD.

This afternoon U.S. District Judge Vaughn Walker ruled in the case brought before him by lawyers Ted Olson and David Boies, which argued that the Proposition 8 ballot initiative denying marriage rights to same-sex couples in California was unconstitutional.

When sitting up here in Toronto, Canada, looking at my wedding cake figurines that I bought for my first paid wedding planning gig WAY back in 2005, that just so happened to be for two lovely men from Bermuda … it’s hard to wrap my brain around the idea that these rights haven’t already been given to same-sex couples at least in somewhere like California.

A couple of weeks ago while in the middle of trying to win Bon Jovi tickets on Twitter, my phone rang. Instinctively I thought it was @clickflickca telling me I’d won the tickets – realizing after that duh, he didn’t have my phone number – but instead of happy news it was a friend calling to let me know our friend had just killed herself the night before.
What do you do when you hear news like this? It doesn’t make any sense to hear the words said out loud. Unexpected death is one thing, but suicide? Say what?
I went downstairs and told my Mum who was on the couch. Then I sat on the back deck and soaked it in, cried and shook my head. I’ve dealt with plenty of death in my time with my dad passing from ALS, my step-brother dying in a tragic accident and lots of other relatives dying from natural causes, but never a suicide. I have no experience with this type of death, how to grieve, what to do …

A bit over a month ago I hopped on a plane to head to a little town called Reno, Nevada to meet and visit with some dear friends I originally met on Twitter.
Hopping on “a” plane isn’t very accurate though as I missed my connecting flight and ending up hopping on three planes and arriving in Reno 10 hours late, which totally bummed me out as I was really looking forward to spending that first day with one of my hosts as he was going to take the day off work and just chill with me.
Stupid airplanes and tornadoes ruining that bonding time. *shakes fist*
