I didn't write yesterday, I was cuddled up with my husband watching Kill Bill Volume 2.  There is something about women kicking each other's asses that is empowering.  Not a pulling each other's hair cat fight but a serious fight to the death I hate you kind of fight.  Another thing that's cool about it is that they aren't fighting over a man.  yeah there is a man involved, and for the most part it is ts the story of a scorned woman, but she is a hell of a scorned woman.  Left for dead by her former coworkers, yeah I'd be pissed to if I woke up from a coma looking for my unborn child, yeah I'd go on a rampage as well, and I'm not a trained killer. 
But I digress, some might sit here and wonder why i am talking abotu a bloody movie (bloody as in the liquid stuff, not the british saying) But to me Kill Bill speaks to girl power.  Women express their power in a different way from men.  Stereotypically there is sex involved in some way or another. But when it comes to bondage, a woman is usually on the receiving end.  usually the one being tied. When I started down this path, I figured I wanted to be the one tied.   But as I learn and practice my knots, I think I will be the one doing the tying.  or it will be give and take.  I'm not sure. 

So i'll ask myself over the next few weeks:  Is submission the giving of power? or gaining it?
