i know how you feel, my Master & i are online too and he is VERY good with words and emoticons that instantly either make me feel warm & fuzzy or want to run & hide and can turn me on or off within minutes. we do talk on the phone as well which is even more powerful but most of it is txt or email or pics.
like right now, i'm almost scared to death what my punishment is going to be; i won't know till morning and its going to be a long time before i sleep even though i know i deserve it. i've had some major life changes & i failed to stay in contact with him so its going to be something that enforces the need to communicate and it'll be swift & a little brutal but always is followed by affection & care/concern for my happiness & well-being
