I'll play: 01. What do you want out of life? I want to have an opportunity to build a community, write, lecture and teach/counsel among individuals who have chosen to live outside the "common life". 02. What would a typical day with you be like? It would pretty much be like any other "day in the life", perhaps a lot busier than in some households, and probably with a good deal more tea than most see in the US. It would be filled with family, laughter, lots of work, and plenty of opportunities to be useful and appreciated. 03. Who would you turn to if you needed help? It depends on what I needed help with. If I needed help organizing the cupboards in the kitchen, I'd probably ask one or two of our servants. If I needed help with a health issue, I'd likely ask SR, who is our resident trained homeopath. If I needed help with a spiritual or philosophical conundrum, I'd probably talk to one of my spiritual mentors... it all depends on what one needs. 04. Are you passionate? Absolutely. 05. What are your three worst traits? I procrastinate when it comes to boring, repetitive tasks, I have trouble remembering my "good listening skills" when I have a personal interest in a disagreement, I have an incurable case of "horizontal surface disease" and tend to drop my things on whatever flat surface presents itself, especially if I am caught up in a project or my mind is occupied with some big concept. 06. What are you afraid of? I've gotten over many of my fears, but I still think I'm afraid of jumping out of airplanes. 07. What is the worst crime committed against humanity in your opinion? The perpetuation of ignorance. 08. Do you have soft hands? Yes, I think so. 09. What is your reaction if someone cuts you off in traffic? My first reaction is to vent with some epithet, then I take a breath, settle in my seat, and see what other adventures the trip will bring. 10. What's the one thing you hope I won't find out? I can't think of anything, offhand. 11. What is your full name and home address? When I know someone and am speaking to them, I'll tell them. 12. Can I call you any time (within reason) at home? Yes 13. Can you verify who you are and what you look like? Yes 14. Where do you work or what is your occupation? I earn my paycheck as an Administrative Assistant, and work part time as an author, pastoral counselor, and lecturer. Where I work is one of those things I won't share until I know someone. 15. How do you get along with your immediate family? Immediate family and blood family are not the same thing for us. I get along pretty well with my blood family, except for my brother, who prefers not to have to deal with a 'wierdo' like me. I respect his right to choose his associations. 16. How often do you call or visit your parents? I call my dad once a month or so, and usually write him a handwritten letter every few weeks. My mom died a decade ago. I talk to my mate's mom, dad and step-dad every couple of months. 17. Have you ever had a restraining order issued against you? No 18. Have you ever been arrested/charged/convicted of a felony? No 19. When was the last time you were screened for STDs? Three years ago, and I have had one sexual partner in that time. 20. Do you have any mental health problems? I'm probably a bit obsessive-compulsive for some people, and probably a little ADD for others. 21. How does BDSM fit into your life? It is a small part of a complex and full life. 22. Could you explain what a D/s relationship means to you? D/s means choosing to live in a relationship with a distinguishable hierarchy, where the tendency to choose to take responsibility for another individual and the tendency to choose to yield up control of one's life are clearly defined and respected. 23. When did you first know you were dominant? When I realized that I was both capable and willing to take on the responsibility for the well-being of another individual. 24. What do you think qualifies you to be a dominant? I think that whether or not I am "qualified" remains to be seen, since I am only qualified when an individual accepts my skills as being sufficient to allow him or her to yield comfortably to my leadership. 25. What do you think the role of the submissive partner should be? To yield gracefully in the areas that we have acknowledged that I am in charge, and to stand proudly in the areas that are still under his or her own care. 26. Why would I be suitable as your slave/submissive? I think this is meant for a specific person, not a generalized response. 27. What kind of relationship are you hoping to create? A household, based on the concepts of dominance and submission as practices to evoke the highest potential in all of the individuals involved in the family. 28. What is your idea of "consent/consensual" in a BDSM relationship? If both parties do not agree to a practice, or agree to give up the right to make a decision regarding a practice or set of practices, there is no consent. For myself, I will ask even if someone has yielded the right to be asked, if the situation is a new one, for my own comfort. 29. Can you name and demonstrate at least one knot used in bondage? No, but I do not claim to do bondage. 30. Is there is an appropriate reason/time/place to push someone's boundaries? Yes. If we have discussed an area where one of ours wishes to know more, but is afraid to make the first move, we will discuss pushing the boundaries to see how he or she responds. If the response is completely negative, we will discuss again whether we will continue to push, or whether this is something that will be set aside. If we decide to push further, we will push a little harder each time, until we are either comfortable in the practice, or have decided that it is not something advantageous to us. 31. What is your current dating status? I am in a poly family. I can date, but don't often. We are open to new potential members, but the process is long. I do not have casual sex. My mate knows about anyone I am interested in or anyone I see as a potential, and our household decides collectively whether an individual is a good fit. If not a good fit for the household, we may still date, but there will always be some private matters that will not be shared between us. 32. Who else are you involved with and may I speak to all of them? Right now, I am involved with my mate of 10 years, SR, and you will be encouraged to speak with her. We also have 2 servants, and you will be encouraged to speak with them and determine whether you are able to work together comfortably. 33. If you're as good as you seem, then why are you still available? I was never "unavailable". Our situation doesn't work that way. We keep ourselves open to the potentials of the Universe. 34. If you have ever been married, why did you get divorced? We had stopped growing by being together, and our relationship was no longer healthy. It was a mutual decision, companionably decided upon and completed, and we are still friends. 35. Why did you break up with your (most recent) ex? He died. 36. What would your last submissive say about you? I don't know, since I can't be inside her head, but I hope that she would say that I helped her to know herself better and respected who and what she was. 37. What worked and what didn't in your previous relationships? Family companionship always worked... sorting out the kitchen use and reclaimation process never worked well. 38. How many times has someone used a safeword with you? Twice. 39. Would you be offended if I have a safe call set-up? No. I would encourage you to do whatever you need to do to keep yourself healthy and feeling secure. 40. Do you have references within the community? Yes. Da'Avatar ZWD www.klashaan.org
