Sexeteria

Well, I am now officially a domainatrix.

Ladies and gentlemen, hussies and manwhores, I am delighted to throw open the doors and welcome you to the new and subtly improved Sexeteria, with its very own shiny, NEW URL. (Note: If you're one of the darling people who's linked to my blog in the past, take this as your subtle hint to update it to sexeteria.net).

Things may look familiarly unfamiliar at first. While you'll see that my "shadowy bordello" color scheme remains more or less intact, there are differences to be found--and all of them are good. The new salon is a little bit brighter and more spacious, and has lots of subtle new built-in features that I know will make entertaining here a lot easier and far more pleasurable for both me and you, my smart, beautiful, talented, and sexy visitors.

So have a look around. Try clicking on some stuff and see what happens. As a man I've always wished I could bed once said, "Little surprises around ever corner, but nothing dangerous!" (Or, not very.)

Okay, look. I'm lying to you.

I'm trying to sound all cool and sophisticated and matter of fact about all this. But want to know the truth? (Hides behind hair with embarrassment)

The truth: I'm not at ALL laid back and cool about this. I'm squealing and squirming with glee like a little girl who just found herself magically transported into the Barbie aisle of a toy store with a wad of hundred dollar-bills in her hot little fist.

Look at my cool new banner! Look at my shiny new "about" page! Look at my category archives pull-down menu, and my alternating author colors on comments! Don't you just love it? Look at my collapsible blogroll! Look at my favicon! I made them myself!!

And that's not all that's making me giddy. Mere words can not describe the joy and pride I feel at having been adopted with open arms by the Moronosphere clan. Those folks you see under the M'sphere banner there on the right...each and every one of them is surely one of the finest human beings I've ever had the pleasure to know (and read). And each and every one of them--whether indirectly through their writing, in very direct and personal ways, or both--has helped me over this past year to get through one of the most intense and challenging periods of my entire existence.

I remember once in a conversation I had with Karl Elvis, I told him no matter where I am, "I always know my people, and I always find subtle ways to give them the sign I'm there." Well, it's true. And the Moronospherians--I know them. They are my people. And they read my signs and sent some of theirs back at me, and it's been very, very good. And for that I am very, very thankful. So, to you, my "misfit and loser and strange rock 'n' roller" brothers and sisters, I want to say thanks and I'm glad to be amongst you.

And of course very special thanks and HUGE jugs of tequila are most certainly owed to my big, bad host daddy, Karl Elvis MacRae. This version of my blog would, quite literally, not exist without him. Karl's generosity, patience, good humor, and friendship has been a gift through this whole process--and that's an understatement. Thank you for all your help, Karl, and for selflessly offering me a place to call home. You do indeed put the "best" in "beast." (And the "lay" in "O'Malley.") Long may you drink, fight, and never wear pants. And write. Most definitely long may you write. Because you are amazing at it. Never forget that, okay?

Additionally, bales of thanks and witches' broomsticks are also due to The Man Behind the Curtain, Brandon of Contemporary Insanity. Without him and his great and powerful server, all of us on Moronosphere would be not nobody, not nohow. Though I've never met you, Brandon, your reputation precedes you, and I feel small and meek in the glow of your generous presence. Thank you, thank you.

Thanks also go to the splendiferous and VERY patient AlwaysArousedGirl and Hiriomi X for putting up with my, "How does this look on a Windows PC? And this? And how about this? Wait, no, how about this?" questions. You ladies are the shit.

And finally, thanks as always to every single person who stops by here, reads, and comments on the blog. Every day you all give me new things to think about and new inspirations to follow. I'm really glad you're here, and I hope you'll like the new place as much as I do.

So! Let's get this party started! Update your links! Come on in! Look all around!

Pop open the champagne, and pop my comment cherry on my new blog!

You KNOW you wanna.

Oh, and p.s.: If you run into any issues--broken links or whatever, please let me know.
