What's your favorite foreign noise?

I personally have a penchant for "bof."



I found out why i keep getting sick. Maybe.

How many of you have had your tonsils out?

How many of those had them out at a fairly oldish age (18 and after)?

Edited to say: I got my little malevolent pusbags taken out right before freshman year of college, and the little fuckers just won't die. They linger.


Not much to update with, except to say that i'll likely be going home to Maryland/D.C. area sometime at the end of the month. Half for the birthday with folks, half for a promised voyage of pillagery to IKEA to furnish our new abode. Hoots.



hey, new dress:






I don't want to make this 500 pixels wide to fit the space, so here is link for zee beeg:

While we're all stalking each other--your comment in mk's journal got me thinking. I really hope what you and mk are agreeing on isn't true. I don't want to think I can't be meaningfully close to someone just because we haven't screwed. Even in relationships where sexual tension was an establishing factor, I find there comes a point where it just becomes uninteresting backgrounds noise. There's a point I've arrived at in several relationships where the other party and I tacitly agree that it's just not going to happen--then, for the most part, that part of the relationship goes away and other things slide into its place.

Of course you understand better than most what I have invested in my position on this matter--if you and mk are right, then I'm more lonely in this big ol' world than I thought. That's sad. Sad like a robot.

I thought I should reply to Dogslife's comment in your journal, just to keep the flow.

I could go on for hours (and even more mintues) about this as I wrote a thesis proposal on the very matter. It's not that I don't believe ultra-close, inter-gender relationships can't exist pre-hump; I just know from "research" that it would take a very special situation.

In most cases there will always be some desire, even if never acted upon, on one or both party's side. It may never surface in a bad way, but a subdued desire for increased intimacy of one kind tends to hinder intimacy of another.

On the surface, there are subjects that cannot be covered without making someone uncomfortable, or cuddles that cannot be cuddled without putting someone in a difficult spot.

Don't get me wrong, Doggy, you absolutely can have fulfilling relationships with women who haven't had your Dogslifestyle... there just might exist another %1 of closeness you're missing out on with that person, and that's why there's ginny for your %100, no-robot, all kinds of intimacy up in this shit, good-time fun-ship. smile

At this point I think if I would have dug up that thesis it would have been shorter... and contained even more references to "hump."
