Writing While Pondering

(Warning: this blog post contains irrational capitalization and emphasis, because apparently that’s What Needs to Happen Today as if my thoughts are the titles of published articles, or as if I were writing in the 19th century. I assume the urge for caps case will fade, but apparently I couldn’t write today without it.) I’ve been traveling for two weeks (decadent of me… the last hurrah from my windfalls from March), visiting family in Houston (which was comforting and nourishing as always), and seeing a friend in a show in Chicago (I am ashamed that I only seem to support the arts when I know participants, but I guess it’s better than never supporting the arts). It was an absurd amount of travel for someone [read more...]

I'm Stuffed

Summary (extra-short): My stuff has arrived in my home, so I’m all stuffed up. Summary (medium-short): After 10 days of hearing nothing from our movers, we got a call Saturday saying they would hold our stuff hostage unless we paid them $800 more than the estimate. Sunday, after they arrived at 6:30 pm, we refused to pay it, called cops, had a 3-hour stand-off in our front yard, took video, measured the truck, I cried, and they eventually agreed to the $1600 originally estimated plus the $200 tip I had always intended to give them. Monday, they arrived at 11:30, took our money, then informed us they were in too big of a hurry to reassemble our furniture or put any furniture or boxes where [read more...]

Phone Sex Blog Superlative

I like to think that I have a blog that’s interesting to read, and I would love to make it easier for people to find it. I don’t even make it to the Google search for “phone sex blog” on any page. Sad. So I’m thinking of re-doing my tag line, from “Chance It: The Blogged Life of Galiana Chance, phone sex operator with a fetish for variety” to “Chance It: The Most _________ Phone Sex Blog in the World” But… what to put in that superlative spot? Obviously, any qualitative claim I could put in that blank would be ridiculous, narcissistic, over-the-top, and impossible to quantify. Perfect. The most honest? The most real? The realest (is that word)? The most varied? Or should I [read more...]

Switches Get It...

Now that I have rewritten my Mistress / Dominant / Domme / Domina / FemDom / Toppy / insert your term of choice to indicate “the partner in charge of leading the activities” phone sex listings, and I am happy enough with them for the time being (to refresh your memory, they look like this: http://www.niteflirt.com/ms+galiana), it’s time to start advertising. As I researched options, I found myself posing this question to the owner of a very well-trafficked Domme site: My “unique spin” – if you will – is that I am not a princess-ey bitch; instead, I am a nice, empathetic human being who genuinely enjoys focusing sexual attention on submissive males. I truly enjoy directing them to distraction. Do you think there is [read more...]

Happy Anniversaries

FIVE YEARS AGO TODAY … I got married. Happy Fifth Wedding Anniversary! So tonight, I dressed up for our dinner celebration: The dress: the only Little Red Dress I’ve ever owned. Mom bought it for me last year for my birthday, specifically to wear today. The accessories: chunky jewelry which matched my shoes. Wacky. It’s almost like  know how to dress myself sometimes. The makeup: smoky eyes and red lips – to the point of being borderline trashy. My husband likes the raccoon look after… ummm… after the after-dinner-festivities, so I had fun with it. The dinner: delicious seafood at the place that was the new, hot, hip place in 1985 when it opened (I was in high school then). I hoped it had not [read more...]

I used to think that I did things in weird ways until I worked with dozens of programmers. Then I learned that most people do things in their own unique fashion, and that if you give them room to do things their way, often it will be most efficient for them. When I have a big, complicated project looming — like, for example, rewriting all my listings — I need to ponder it a while before I actually start making changes. I am currently in my mulling phase, which means I’m pleasantly distracting myself by importing my transaction detail into an Access database , and automating the process to parse customer name and transaction type. Inner Data Analyst: It’s about frikkin’ time! The Excel process [read more...]

Yet again, I’m taking on a big project that will take me down a rabbit hole. My last big project was to post a bunch of picture sets for sale. The current project is to optimize my new blog format for SEO (search engine optimization). No, I haven’t announced the location of my new blog yet, because it’s not done being set up yet, but I’ll be ready after I do the SEO stuff. It involves scraping the blogger tags / descriptions / titles off each post and pasting them into the SEO keywords in WordPress. It’s uncreative, tedious work. Wish me well, and light a candle for my sanity… My next project will be to re-do all my listings. All bazillion of them. Okay, [read more...]

I’m over a month behind on my follow-up notes, because I was already behind when I started the process of moving, and once I got moved and rested enough, I chose to finish up some even-more-overdue picture sets. Sorry they’re so late. I’ll do my best to make them worth the wait this round. For new clients, let me explain my follow-up notes: they contain at least one large picture of me, and sometimes more. Often I send an additional extra-naughty picture for people who have left me official feedback. And my follow-up notes include your name and a personalized thought, so you know it’s not bulk mail (unless I don’t know your name and you bought something from me without us talking, in which [read more...]

I make up phrases. Today I was describing what kind of personality I tend to have when I put on an Australian accent, and I said, “I get all tussle-bunny” and then I realized that maybe I’m the only person who knows what that means. I should correct that. Here: tussle-bunny: playful, with a high sex drive, enjoys wrestling and/or struggling while fucking, usually used to describe a female Then later, after the sex part of a call, I described myself as fuck-scrambled. At that point, I’m just having a day of making up phrases, and clearly I needed to blog about it. For your edification:  fuck-scrambled: an inability to clearly and coherently communicate verbally after an intense sexual experience Feel free to use them [read more...]

Lover Experience

In the midst of sorting through my pictures from September’s photo shoot, I found one that I hadn’t focused on before, but now it’s my current favorite picture of myself: First of all, that babydoll has a bra strap around back, so dang, my boobs look amazingly perky for DDs (did I mention that I got fitted for a bra and found out that I’m a DD, not a D like I thought? Crazy.) Then the soft purple fabric, with the soft scarf-looking headband, and the flowing gypsy-ish earrings, and my flowing gypsy-ish wavy hair … all together, it’s a soft look physically. But the real attraction for me is my expression: I look as if I am enjoying the company of whoever I am [read more...]
