I’M AWAY until February the 4th

Anika — Sun, 08 Jan 2012 20:24:45 +0000

My phone is off and won’t come back on for the next four weeks, while I’m studying hard. I hope you have fun without me.

I’ll still be checking my emails now and then and I might even put in a post or two, but given my recent record I wouldn’t hold your breath.

Goodbye for now

You guys who’ve been asking when the new pictures are coming, quite right, I’ve been terrible.

Here’s a few more to keep you going while I’m away :)

You have just had a field report written about you on AW. Have do you feel about field reports? Do you wish the details had been kept private?

Oh you’re right, I’ve had two reviews in the last few months actually, but I’ve been rubbish at updating.

Here’s the one on adultwork.

And here’s one on plink (thanks goldboy, you seemed like a real person too :P).

They both asked if I’d mind them writing a review, and I already thanked vinny for his. I can’t see anything to object to really, they’re hardly full of sordid details, and it’s nice for potential clients to have something other than my own nonsense to read.

There are reviews in which aren’t as nice. A friend of mine has one from her parlour days which is hilarious, but clearly more to do with the writer’s fantasy than anything that happened in the 20 minutes they spent together, and it does make a girl feel a bit icky. All the ones I’ve had have been more or less tasteful though, click the “reviews” link if you want to investigate!

Ask me anything

Hey dude-who-doesn’t-like-sarcasm

It occurred to me overnight that you might not be a pushy dick, but someone who has trouble reading social cues. If you just didn’t notice that I’d chosen not to answer your questions then I apologise for being mean.

No need to be sarcastic, jeez it’s a simple question

Anika — Mon, 19 Dec 2011 18:47:16 +0000

Questions. I’d already been sarcastic about your last four.

Ask me anything

Oh well, I’d better clear that up

I think most people will have read my recent answers to one tenacious questioner* as a distaste for banal sex questions, but maybe someone will read the latest dodge and think I’m trying to hide something. Just in case, then: no, I don’t like animals in that way.

While we’re not really on the subject, I don’t love animals either. As a vegan who tries to avoid killing animals, even gross ones like slugs, I don’t know what people are trying to get across when they say they love animals. I suppose it’s like loving rain or christmas? The general presence of non-specific animals makes them happy? But even if you exclude humans, there are so many animals, and so much variety. Maybe that’s my scientific leaning coming through, and “animals” is a perfectly good shorthand for “birds and medium to large mammals, excluding humans” as far as many people are concerned.

* He also keeps asking if my parents know about my work, since I wasn’t specific enough for him the first time he tried it.

How did you choose your professional name?

Anika — Mon, 19 Dec 2011 12:13:35 +0000

I got it from a couple of baby name sites. First I went through all the names beginning with ‘A’ and picked the ones I liked. Anika was the least obscure of them. Then I needed to add something for an email address and didn’t want something generic like “escort”, so I chose a middle name. I thought a single syllable would scan well and I picked Mae as in West.

Neither of these were part of my decision, but Anneke was also the singer in my favourite band at the time, The Gathering, and Anika was a friend of Pippi Longstocking. Pippi’s popular all over Europe, but British people mostly just have a vague association with pigtails. If that’s you, sort it out, especially if you have kids. And you’d better not tell me that your kid won’t be interested because he’s a boy; that would only happen if you’ve convinced him that girls aren’t cool. Pippi Longstocking is awesome.

Ask me anything

I meant have you done anything sexually with any animals?

Anika — Mon, 19 Dec 2011 11:39:06 +0000

Oh really, is that what you meant? And me just going off on a tangent like that! You poor thing. Maybe a nice mince pie and eggnog would cheer you up?

Ask me anything

Ever played around with any animals?

When I was eight, my best friend’s dad lived across the street from a cat sanctuary. Whenever we were over there we used to visit it, because they kept all their older kittens one room. Yes, there was a kitten room. That was probably the best room I’ve ever been in. Since we were tiny and cute ourselves we didn’t even need to bring cat food, we just went in there and played with some kittens while even more kittens climbed on us and untied our shoelaces. I think kitten rooms should be a therapy tool; it would make almost anyone feel better.

Ask me anything

Spit or swallow?

Anika — Sat, 10 Dec 2011 18:20:22 +0000

If I could only do one for the rest of my life, it would have to be swallow. Spitting is good for making a phlegmy cold less unpleasant, but swallowing is really important for eating, drinking, and not choking on your own saliva.
