The Floating World, in New Jersey?

Well, at least *A* Floating World of sorts.

Once it was decided that there would be no TESfest this year, various organizations got together and decided to throw an event of their own as a community event; by the community (not one group but many groups) and for the community.

Thus their modern (re-)interpretation of the Floating World of 17th century Japan has been transposed to New Jersey for the duration of the event. Floating World.

We are considering attending, have a hotel room booked etc- but still cancel-able.

Unfortunately, it's not as simple as all that for us, much as I wish it were. There are still certain, shall we say, psychodramatic aspects we are weighing under careful consideration.

It's now 24 hours since I wrote the above, and it's looking like we have both agreed- we will register for FW at some point this week.

I'm both excited and somewhat concerned. But ultimately, for both of us, our curiosity and our hope outweighs our trepidation.

Now all we have to do is prepare and hope for the best.

Sakishima habu- and an introduction of sorts

By way of introduction, below are several links containing information about Habu, and specifically, Sakishima Beauty Snakes:

What does the snake have to do with me, the blogger, and this, the blog?

The vipers and I share certain personality traits, and habits. Further, I find it an apt name to use to camouflage my identity for purposes of this particular blogging.

So then, set to what purpose is "Slitherings?"

"Slitherings" will serve as a form of kink blogging/Leather journaling to me. I hope to use it as a place to corral ideas, reactions, responses, and memory into one place, online, where perhaps, almost coincidentally, others might from time to time find it of use. Primarily through, it serves as a first person account, and record of my own Leather journey.

So why name such a chronicle, and myself for that matter, after these serpents on the opposite side of globe? For many reasons. Not the least of which being, they are such beautiful "poison ropes".
