Are we an isolated community? Is this the real world? When I first started working at home, I was cautioned by a dear friend not to make the mistake of isolating myself at home now. I love my little apartment and she reasoned that it would be all too easy to get caught up here, working and sleeping and playing, especially since I can work at any hour of the day or night. And, to some extent, I’ve tried to follow her advice, because it was good advice. One shouldn’t spend all of one’s time in the same place. But, you know, I love my job. I love playing online, and taking care of all my guys, and I love the friendships that I have with my fellow Mistresses. I make a point of getting together with my housemates, of going out for a few hours every week when my cleaning lady comes, since I can’t work anyway:) Truth be told, this time of year I’m just as happy to burrow in and read, snug in my little lily pad of a home. Is that isolated?
I guess I’m tossing out this question to all of those who work online and spend a lot of time in our chatrooms and on the phone. Do you feel confined? Do you feel that the internet has isolated you from the rest of the world? I know that I don’t, I feel that I’ve met such interesting people since getting my computer and especially since I’ve been with LDW. There are always people in the chatrooms, eager to talk about anything, not just this wild phone sex world of ours. I learned about how fantasy football works the other night. I’ve been part of highly entertaining and imaginative spontaneous roleplays in the chatrooms and elaborate storylines that cross several blogs. As I’ve said before, we offer to play with so MANY fantasies: major ones like feminization and forced bi, orgasm denial and cuckold games, and smaller niches like cfnm and small penis humiliation. Yet, our callers all come together in the chatrooms regardless of their own personal kinks to share in the fun conversations that happen there. To be part of the LDW community. That seems like a good thing to me, and the very opposite of isolating oneself. And now there is cockradio, which also brings a good crowd of Mistresses and chatters together and gets some great conversations going.
I am asked, hell, I’m told that I must be lonely working at home and living alone. But I have to laugh, I communicate with more people in the course of a day than some people do attending a great university or working at a huge corporation. Everyone knows who I am at my job, the well respected and frequently funny Spankmistress Tara. And I like my life:)
Hugs,
Miss Tara

Sometimes I feel isolated, and sometimes I don’t. It all depends on what I do and how much I reach out to others. My solitude is important to me, and I need more of it than most other people do. But I have to be careful not to overdo it. I do spend a lot of time in my apartment but I am often on the phone, or emailing or chatting online with other people. Still, there’s nothing quite like the experience of meeting someone face to face and talking to them. Too bad most people in this part of the country are DICKS but eventually I plan to move to friendlier climes.
No, I’m not isolated by any means. I have my local small family restaurants where I meet the locals and gab. I also have belly dancing classes for fun. I have my sisters and their dogs. And I have my hobbies and books. You said you read– what types of books do you like best? Myself, I love the Shannara series and the potter books. I love mysteries– especially erle stanley garner”s perry mason and lam and cool series. I also love to read about interesting historical figures– just common ordinarily ones in unordinarily times and conditions.
I don’t work from home, and sitting in Houston traffic for a couple of hours a day combined with 9 hours at work makes me WANT the isolation of home. Obviously that small amount of isolation hasn’t affected me… mwaaah hahahahahahahahaha
sorry….

I know for Myself, the only problem I run into is because I talk soooo much with working and playing, that I WANT the quiet, I want to have time alone, NOT TALKING, NOT THINKING, NOT GIVING ADVICE. But the people I know in My “real world” will not let Me be…they want Me to go out. lol
But to be honest, I enjoy all of it. I love My nights filled with talking and playing, My days of peace and quiet and alone time, and a few times a week to go out and play with friends. OMG, I think I am balanced and normal….OH NO! SAY ITS NOT SO!!! I can’t be….*gasp* normal……
