Won't you lay down in my procrustean bed?

Have I told y'all of the story of Procrustes? Well, he's this really sick bandit in Greek myth (maybe in Roman too, who knows, those crazy Romans plagiarized everything). He was the son of Poseidon...why is it Poseidon's kids are always messed up? Anyway, he had this nifty bed that he offered to weary travelers that were traveling between Athens and Eleusis. The cool thing about his bed is that it was iron. All the better to hack limbs off my dear. When you'd get all comfy in his nice warm bed (if an iron bed can be warm OR comfy) and start dozing off Procrustes would would out his trusty blacksmith hammer and whack you down to size. Well, that is if your legs hung off his bed. If they were too short he'd just stretch you out nicely. Heck if the bed wasn't to long or too short but was JUUUST right (anyone seeing a bit o' Goldilocks in this story?) he'd whip out his second bed and scuttle you off to it so he could play a bit that night. You have got to be asking WTF?? how does this even mildly relate to her life? does she secretly have her own iron bed??? Should I watch for this kid in dark alley ways? The answer is yes...to the bed not the alley ways...if you see me in an alley way dear god help cuz I'm probably lost. REAL lost. The thing about my Procrustean bed is that it's metaphorical. No limb loss with me  And I know what you're thinking, doesn't Procrustean mean that it's arbitrary? well...I'm starting to wonder if my choices in doms actually are arbitrary. I mean I have no set "type" at least not if you look at who I actually talk to (read message. I'm really tricky to get to actually real life TALK to you). This all came up because I'm talking to someone new. A new dom to be specific. He's generally what I look for. Not too old, kinda nerdy so he doesn't judge my nerdiness and gets my jokes and is tall (that one is just a huge perk not really something I look for). The thing is that he's also a bit more sadistic than I would normally be comfortable with and he's also a LOT more pushy than I would normally feel comfortable with. Why is it I'm still talking to this kid? Is it just that he hasn't gotten sleepy enough for me to whip out my hammer? Hell maybe I actually like the guy against all odds. That raises weird questions though, like if he is already kinda pushing to meet me and making it perfectly clear that he intends for it to be more than a normal coffee date...like say sans clothes how do I feel about that? I mean I've made it perfectly clear I don't feel comfortable doing ANYTHING like that on the first meeting but he kinda side steps it and wiggles around that every time. Maybe I'll get the urge to do some whacking soon. What do you guys think? |

Thanks for the help I had kinda been thinking that maybe i was making the whole thing bigger than it really was and maybe being a bit TOO picky. I'm glad to know someone out there doesn't think I'm too far off the mark
