Hello, from sunny TinyTown. I don’t know how Shawshank slept, but I was terribly warm all night. Podrick wanted to cuddle and woke me around 2am, and I was fucking moist. I heard Shawshank get out of bed before the alarm, and felt him give me a kiss goodbye when he left for work and hour later. Today is supposed to be warm, and sunny, and the wind is nowhere near yesterday’s breeze. This all means nothing, because I won’t leave the patio if I go outside. I opened the back door for the cats.
I’m getting more comfortable with camming, and having fun with it. Active rooms are displayed using “current” activity in the room as a featured image. I have no idea how often it pulls a new pic, so I’m learning to choose things to occupy my downtime that make for interesting featured images. Last night, I brought all the lights into the bedroom for a black light show. I had some neon body paints and a couple of brushes and just painted myself. Before the show started, I painted on some neon orange star “pasties”, smoked a bowl, and hit LIVE.
I think I need to start logging in a little earlier in the evening. It takes a little while to warm up the room, and to move up in the ranks of active rooms, and I don’t start seeing good traffic until about an hour into a stream. My first “big” tip (a whopping 17 tokens, or $0.85) came from someone who tipped to see my tongue “out of curiosity”. That turned into a lesson in hereditary traits.
When the room emptied, I’d turn the music up a notch or two, lip sync dramatically to look active, add more paint, and flash my stars for a few seconds and hope it ends up being my room’s featured image. The gamble paid off. I had one guy in chat for about half an hour, who ended up tipping me about $30 total to sit there topless for 20 minutes. Each stream seems to get me about another 30 followers, which is also helpful. More followers, more eyes, more chances for tokens.
I logged off before Shawshank came home. I had to put the bedroom back in order, and wash the paint off me. Half an hour later, when he pulled into the driveway, I was on the patio, freshly showered, smoking a pipe.
Shawshank will be home in the afternoon. I’m going to do a morning stream, and I want to work on costume shit later this afternoon. We’re making some pasta and pork cutlets for dinner, and watching wrestling.
