Greetings all and welcome to another installment of Ten Questions With Dave. This week, I had the pleasure of getting to know more about an individual I first met at SBG I in Albany, NY. Of course you all know him as the King of Posts, the Guy Who Never Sleeps and an individual who is active in almost every part of the TMF...
Milagros317!
*****************
1) Prior to the mass-prune of '04, you had, by far, the most posts of anyone on the TMF ever. How many hours a day on average do you spend on the Forum? In short, take us through an average day in Milagros' online life.
Yes, I had over 52,000 posts and Limeoutsider was second with more than 19,000, so nobody was even close.
Yet the most posts I made in any one day was about 300, nowhere near the 600 once achieved by HDS. That was on a Sunday when I got up early, felt like doing nothing but stay on the computer all day, and did that, with time out for meals.
Much more typical is for me to make 75 to 100 posts in a day, staying on the TMF for 3 to 5 hours, not necessarily consecutively.
When people say, don't you think you could use the time more productively, I can only say it was time I used to spend watching junk on TV. I watch much less TV since finding the TMF, only movies and baseball.
On days when I work, the 3 to 5 hours is usually after work, and almost always before midnight. Quite often it is before and after dinner, in the evening.
On weekends and holidays, it could be any time.
2) Follow-up to Question #1. What is the single best thing you take away from all of your interaction here, considering all the different sub-forums you are active in?
The single best thing for me here at the TMF was winning Golden Feather Awards for my nonfiction stories, and (partly because of that) being given my own story archive. I love it when people who have read one of my stories posts a response, or sends me a PM. I've gotten lots of PM's in response to stories, from both men and women.
3) You are one of the most well-known F/M advocates on the TMF. What led you to a submissive lifestyle, as opposed to the "typical" male-dominant one?
I can't say what led me to it because it goes back as far as I can remember, which is to age 4. From that early age onward, I was always attracted to strong, competent girls. When I grew up, I just wanted to be with strong, competent women who, ideally, would be both dominant and loving towards me.
Mistress Kassandra, who you will find in most of my nonficiton stories as the friend of Mistress Zara who does joint sessions with us, once told me something that amazed me, considering her profession. She said that I was one of the few natural submissive men that she had ever met. I believe her, it was not learned behavior, it goes back too far for that.
4) What is your favorite holiday, and why?
Passover, because it is a celebration of human liberty, commemorating the exodus from Egypt. It has such great food besides. It is the one holiday that I never fail to celebrate with my extended family.
5) A million dollars or a million friends?
Nobody has the time to spend with a million friends, so I guess I will take the milion dollars.
Perhaps I am taking the question too literally above, so I will try to explain.
While friendships are very important, I would have to say mine tend to be "few, but deep." So having a huge number of friends is not important to me, but having a few that I can really count on and trust is.
6) What was your best gathering experience?
While I have had great times at NEST, I would still have to say that my greatest gathering experience was at SBG3 in late January 2004, organized by NJJen.
There was a friend of NJJen's there who went by the name of Mistress Feral Fire at the gathering. She and I and a woman TMF member whose name I won't mention had a tickling/foot worship session there that was fantastic. It became so intense between the two women that the one I won't name had to excuse herself, and NJJen took her place.
7) You're sitting in a movie theater with a date you really like. She loves the movie. You hate it so much that your head is about to explode. You simply cannot take another minute of it. What do you do?
I claim a need to go to the bathroom. I buy some popcorn and sit in the lobby until the movie is almost over. Then I go back to my seat and tell her that I was ill, but am feeling better now. I ask her how the film ended.
Afterwards, I reevaluate what kind of person she is to have liked such an awful movie.
8) If you could be a professional at any sport, what would it be and why?
Baseball is the only sport that I know and love, so the answer has to be baseball. I would have loved to have had the talent to play for the Dodgers.
9) You live in the City So Nice They Named It Twice...the City That Never Sweeps...what is the single best thing about being a NYC resident?
Other cities have fine museums and other cultural things, and other cities have fine restaurants, so I won't mention those, even though some would claim NYC is the best in the U.S. those categories.
I would have to pick the public transportation system. It operates 24/7, is cheap at $2, and goes almost everywhere in the city. You don't need a car here. Think of how much you spend on your car, and imagine being able to spend most of it on luxuries (such as Mistress Zara, for example).
10) If you could live the life of any fictional character, who would it be?
John Galt, the hero of Ayn Rand's epic novel "Atlas Shrugged." I recommend to all TMF members that they read it.
