Two bloggity developments in the past week:

My two-year blogiversary happened! Coincidentally, two is also the number of nipples I have! In honor of this I forgot about it and wrote about the palliative powers of sex. Still, two whole fucking years of writing about lechery for gawkers and perverts.

Let me tell you, it’s been awesome. I sometimes say that I have the greatest readers, and it bears repeating. The comments I get are basically the exact opposite of the type you commonly find on youtube: they’re witty, intelligent, thoughtful, and considerate. And the confessions are, if possible, even better.

I heart you guys. Hard.

The second thing is that Rori’s Top 100 Sex Bloggers List went up this week on Between My Sheets, and quizzical pussy is ranked number nine! Be sure to go check out the whole thing. There’s a lot of sexy on that list.

Turns out we’re one of reviewer Vamp’s personal picks (that’s the thumbs up icon) and we earned the coveted “Original & Quality” badge! I say “we” because this site wouldn’t be what it is today without reader-submitted content in the form of anonymous confessions and comments. You guys are awesome, and you make this blog so much fun for me!

Thanks to Vamp Ire for the great review!

I realize I’ve been kind of a wrapped-up-in-my-own stuff asshole lately. I just wanted to let you know that I still care about you. You’re still special to me and the thrill is definitely not gone. Not really. I’ve been feeling burnt-out (not on writing or sex; on life) and depressed and physically weak lately, and I feel even more the exact opposite of sexy than usual. I’ve been figuring, what can I say about sex that’s worthwhile to myself or anyone?

But I miss you. I’ve been neglecting you, big-time. And that’s not fair, especially when you’re always there for me with all my shit. I have tons of ideas for things I want to do with you: posts and projects and experiments… things I’ve scribbled on post-it notes before hobbling back to bed to let you sit alone another day.

I’m going to make more of an effort. I never stopped being yours. You’re my absolute favorite place to type dirty things, and I don’t say that to just anyone. I’m getting it together, blog. Don’t you forget about me.

If you’re Christmas-observant, I hope you’re having an enchanting holiday with people you love. And pie. There should be pie.

If fact, whatever you’re celebrating, I hope there’s pie! Pie and orgasms. Orgasms and pie.

Happy wintertime holidays, everyone.

What I can do is what I do at Every. Single. Family holiday gathering: listen to my extended family rave about how beautiful and successful and amazing my siblings are. To me they’ll be more like “Why are you still sick? This is booooooooring,” and “Guess you’re not going to end up having much of a career any time soon, now are you? Or be pretty.”

Or I could stay home and make myself a steak with a side of quinoa, bake an apple for desert, watch some Dr. Who in bed afterward, and be truly, truly thankful for the people and things who make my life better because they’re in it. I’m looking at you, Laramy: you make me smile every single day, and I love you metric tons. And my friends, who are the awesomest, sexiest, smartest people I have ever lucked into meeting, and yet they still talk to me, the silliest. And my internet peeps, who literally keep me sane and make me think even on my worst days. I’m thankful for you, not so much turkey.

I wonder which of these options I shall choose?

I will also masturbate, because I want to deserve to keep calling it Wanksgiving, and because I’m not quite as awesome as Holly, who is living the motherfucking dream.

With the winter holidays coming up and all the gift-buying shenanigans that ensue, I’d like to take a moment of your time to talk about meeeeee! Yeah, sorry.

As you may know, I’m chronically ill and disabled to the point where it’s tough to function normally day-to-day, which pretty much Hulksmashes my earning potential down to negligible. At the same time, my medical bills are pretty significant. Significantly terrifying.

I’ve never felt right about putting a tip jar or wishlist on my site. They’re a great idea for a lot of bloggers, but I just don’t think they’re for me right now.

But I have signed up for a few affiliate accounts with online retailers because I feel like they’re win-win, and possibly other wins as well. If you’re going to buy something you want anyway (win), and simply use a link from here, you’ll be extending support to me and my site (win) without spending any extra money (win) or changing your shopping experience in any way (win)! Win.

To the people who’ve used my affiliate links to make purchases in the past, thank you so much! You are awesome for thinking of me and taking that extra time.

So, if you intend to do some shopping at any of the following websites this season (or any season), please consider clicking through to those sites from here (they’re also on my sidebar under “shopping links”, if you ever want quick access in future). Doesn’t even have to be sex toys, since Amazon.com is on the list, and as you know, that behemoth has everything.

The links, in no particular order:

• Amazon
• Babeland
• Fleshlight
• Adam & Eve
• Extreme Restraints
• Fascinations

If you like what you read here and want to help me out, I’d really appreciate your clicky support, now or any time of year! Thanks!

One year ago today, I posted the first entry on quizzicalpussy.com. According to math, that means this blog is one year old!

This thing I’m feeling? This is what passes for a sense of accomplishment in my world. Maybe I should just be impressed that time has lurched past me and my website with half the grace and all the dizzying speed of an an alarmed Saluki. But really I’m rather pleased with myself for not letting wikis, headaches, fruit flies, or space lizards distract me from writing about fucking and other miscellany. So yay me, I suppose!

But truly, yay you. Thanks for reading, thanks for posting comments,  submitting confessions, sending emails, and just generally making it so I’m not muttering to myself across the unforgiving steppes of cyberspace. Thanks for making this blog so much fun to write. Hopefully you’ll still be here, I’ll still be here, and we’ll get a chance to have this little talk again in one year’s time.

Quizzical Pussy is still a very young blog; my first entry appeared a year ago next month. But it’s become the one place on the internet where I can be honest about sex and my past experiences. It’s made me remember how much I love to write. It’s become a huge part of my life, to the point where it’s often frustrating that I’ve chosen to keep it such a secret in the real world. What I’m saying is that this blog is important to me, and I’m honored that you’re reading it. I appreciate every comment, and don’t think I don’t notice how supportive and kind they always are whether the author agrees with me or not. I get excited every time someone sends in an anonymous confession. In short, I’d still be writing Quizzical Pussy if no one was reading it, but you all make it so much better. So thanks.

A huge thank you to the people who took the time to go over to Between My Sheets to nominate me. And to the judges and Rori, who read, tallied, and ranked over 200 nominees, which was no doubt a ton of work.

I also want to specifically thank Laramy Fuquerton, who encouraged me to start this website, brainstormed names with me, hosts it for me, gives me content (often in the form of rodgerings), and is a generally awesome, supportive person. Also Crispin Hijanx, who vectorized the curious kitten logo I drew and made it look much smoother. And no, I am not intentionally making this into an award show speech.

There was a lot of controversy surrounding the list this year concerning one or two* of the bloggers who appeared on it (one of whom got the top spot). This might invalidate the list for some people. I hope it doesn’t because it’s an awesome resource for finding new blogs to read, and I happen to think that many of the spots on the list are very well deserved. Naturally, I think my personal favorites should be higher up, but every ranking is bound to be like that. The fact remains that if you want to find some new top-notch sex blogs to follow, this is a great resource.

Go see the full list here!

*I’m aware of the issue with “Alexa” of The Real Princess Diaries, which is more or less resolved, but if there’s someone else objectionable, could someone comment or email me to let me know? I’d like to be able to warn my readers if someone else on this list is indeed shady.
