So, finally finished harry potter smile so now i can go back to the intelligent and intellectual stuff wink
reading the last page of the novel meant that my 'official' holiday is over and that i have to get start doing some serious research. Although i look forward to it, it's always hard to start, especially in the middle of the summer wink But it's nice to have...

I'm hungry now....

Have a smashing weekend.

Sounds like you're procrastinating like me on the theses front - must say though that yours is WAY more fun than mine... but since you asked. My thesis is the completion of a detailed human health risk assessment for a property that was once used as a target range (80 years) and the city now wants to convert it into a public park - serious lead, copper, antimony, arsenic contamination. So, I'm looking at the toxicological risks and though I'm not there yet, suspect I'll be recommending that some serious remedial efforts be done before any further consideration of parks wink

Have a great weekend love

It's interesting to see that people offer to be your 'friend' without any introduction or anything smile

Maybe i'm a virgin about the ways things are going around here wink But to me, introducing myself as a friend only applies when i at least have something in common with someone...
biggrin

Argh, what a lousy day!

Starting the day with one of those horrible break-up arguments with my exboyfriend. Can't stand it why breaking up must be so difficult most of the times, even when there are two sane wink people involved and no one cheated on the other or anything. It's like you're almost forced into a position where you have to get into fights with...

thanks bassgirl

I like that Paglia book. It's even better because it made her so unpopular in the States.

I have a question about your thesis- are you going to talk about the ways in which heterosexual females are able to try out alternative sexualities through sites like SG, without having to commit to them in the offline world? I see plenty of avowedly hetero girls on here using the love emoticon and sort of panting with lust after other girls, while also disavowing any lesbian feelings. I don't mean to question their allegiance towards one orientation or another, but it's interesting to see the interplay between the online, girl-loving persona and the offline (straight) reality.

Anyway, welcome to the site!

Just a quick word smile
After handing in my proposal i immediately got sick, guess i had it coming. Working to hard, not sleeping enough, ignoring every sign of my body saying it had it enough smile

But being sick (at least at this time) is kind of good in a way, you can spend the whole day in bed watching bad movies (because you're sick and...

For the record, this the prototype of my thesis wink

My thesis will be about the question how young feminist women use sites (like SG) to show their own sexuality, desires and be proud of it. By doing so they can create a new way of thinking about female sexuality (which is a hot item in feminist thinking at the moment) and also an example for...

sounds interesting... I for one want to hear more about it... I'm interested in things like this smile smile smile that and David Cronenberg
h2o:
Very interesting smile

I just read an article about how young men who play sports are commonly avoiding the traditional after-game shower and are becoming increasingly shy and 'weirded out' with respect to being seen naked by their peers. What is that all about? Could it be that women are now becoming more confident in their sexuality and men are becoming less and less confident? Is it related?

Must admit though I'd way rather be standing naked in a room full of women, than in a room full of men wink

Good luck with your thesis!

What could be worse than sitting inside when the sun is shining so brightly. I think i'm going to sneak out this afternoon and sit in the park with a good book, a cold beer and a mini-blowup-swimmingpool to splash my feet in smile


cretinsa11:
sounds delightful smile you gotta make use of the summertime when it comes along
bassgirl:
That's right!
It's so nice to see how the whole city changes when the sun comes out, walking down the canals and sitting in the park.

Thanks for the welcome! I'm looking forward to see what's going on around here!
At the moment i have to spend all my time to writing my Phd. thesis on the feminist perspective on netporn. That means that i can regard this site as research wink
Life's good smile

Welcome to the site! Research you say. Not a bad deal! Have fun! smile
h2o:
So nice to have you join us?

I'm in the middle of my MASc thesis, so I can kinda relate - minus a wee bit more pressure for you perhaps smile Really, does this site really fall under porn? ... and hey, in your research have you come across any particularly interesting sites wink
