I think you should change it to Funky cold DJ Adelina

Take the high road, embrace your name, go on American idol and win.

I don't think you should simply cut them off. Have you thought of making them modular? You know, that way you could take them off and put them on as you please. We have the technology!

Just so you know, you can still get breast cancer even if you don't have breasts. I bet you didn't know that men can ever get breast cancer (although rare) and we don't have breasts.

Please don't feel ... I'd hate to think I'd caused that. It's just too much stuff on the go...

But anyway... My feelings about sex:

In theory I like it. I've enjoyed (to some extent) some of the sexual situations I've been in. But... more often than not, I've found that the stress and weight of expectations have prevented me from really enjoying it.

In practice, sex has not been that great. Several times, with mediocre sex, the post-sex hassle (partner not seeing the event(s) the same way, and so on) has been enough to make me wish I'd never done it. In other cases, sex that was reasonably great in the moment has turned out to carry a weight of expectations that has turned me right off. And in the few cases where we both knew what we were getting into, and agreed to it (tacitly or otherwise), it just hasn't been as exciting as various sources suggest it should be. A couple of women that I'd happily do just about anything for, turn out to be married or married-equivalent... damn!!

I'm still waiting (hoping) for the partner that will make it all wonderful: the sex, the conversation, the deep discussion of values, the trading of little secrets, the shared reading of books, the cuddling without borders or artificial boundaries.

I hope you've found that... seems (from your journal entries) like maybe you have. I wish you the best with it.

Cheers

no pussies! I love it when the pussies rub up against me. my dog sheds more than any cat I've ever had.

my large unruly irish family also turns to movies to quell emotions over the holidays

far far better than endless political arguments

I must say - I appreciate your contribution to SG world, 'tis right to celebrate manhood as well as womanity



may you have better luck with biscuits!

Thanks for the compliments! We don't get good clouds in LA usually.

How was the Aviator?

It's better to regret something you have done than something you haven't done.

unfortunately, in my excitement, I neglected to photograph the mistletoe belt buckle and it didn't really survive the night. one thing I didn't count on was actually getting someone under it. I had to wait for a subject to sit down then I would jump up on the back of the couch or the arm of a chair, as I'm not known for being overly graceful or atheletic, this was comedy, I'm sure. all in all it was a very good evening, except at the end of the night I discovered the two 'subjects' I had got digits from and actually planned to see next week, turned out to be sisters. I just can't win.

I have no specific plans for celebrating the solstice, per se, but I'll go visit my parents for a few days while school's shut down (they close the whole place between the 25th and New Year's). How about you?

About solstice in the southern hemisphere: yes, their longest day is our shortest day, so their summer solstice is the same as our winter solstice. I guess on the equator they have two summer solstices (at our equinoxes, when the sun is right over the equator) and two winter solstices (at our solstices, when their days are shortest). (I'm making up all this stuff about the equator... )

I'm a bit of a grinch this time of year (well, okay, a lot of a grinch). I don't fit in particularly well (socially) any time of the year, but somehow the effect is accentuated by the weight of cultural expectations at this time. On the one hand, I don't get into the "holiday spirit" at all, but on the other hand I feel obliged to fake it for the sake of family serenity. Hence the urge to go camping...

Anyway... be well, and enjoy your break from the kiddies...

I guess this wizard stuff is too subtle for me... I want fireballs!!!

Anyway, I hope that things go well for you over the holiday season, and that the guy in the red-and-white suit brings happiness to you and yours, in excess.

I love the pictures in your photo albums

I'm torn by the desire to not be a slave to biology, to consider my own life a creative work that is self-contained ........

and the desire to pass on what I have learned

how would you expect kids to act with everything they are surrounded with. ofcourse they're going to learn deciet, cheating and stealing when they see those they're supposed to look up to engaging in these things.
there are some great kids out there, there are some great parents out there. it's the people who are terrified by children acting like this who should become parents, not the people who see nothing wrong with it.

Oooh, baby.. wads of green mucous... yes... do it... or...um... something... sorry... imagination got away from me for a second...

Loserville... well... I think I've achieved honorary resident status, through not finishing my degree in an appallingly long time. It's getting beyond silly, and into just absurd... Unfortunately, (in my case) there is no solid evidence to the contrary, so I think I have to accept that I am (if not a citizen) at least a permanent resident. But rest assured, I totally understand your need for silence, and for getting away. (I'm planning a camping trip soon... not to *go* anywhere, but just to get away from the noise and the distractions and the *city* I'm surrounded by.)

Oh, and... yes, I'm very happy to be Zork again, instead of Zorke... It finally got to be too much, so I went to heroic measures to terminate the original "zork" so that I could re-assume the name. I feel much better now.

I hope all is stupendously well with you (and that the wads of green mucous attack the negativity and consume it utterly, destroying themselves in the process). Who, me? An optimist?

I will always behave for brownies

yeah you immune system will toughen up on it's own surrounded by all those kids, ask for the game console. any ideas what to get three nieces ages 6,7,and 8?
