While I was deadly serious. DEADLY SERIOUS!
I reread. I sorry.
As ita points out, we just don't know.
But I WANT TO KNOW!
Quick, someone wank and fake it and tell me why.
It's my estimation that... every man ever got a statue made of him, was one kind of sumbitch or another.

Hmm. Are they having sex (insert semantic debate here)?
I think they're having as much sex as a PET scanner has room for.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

How much sex can a PET scan scan if what the scan scanned wasn't really sex?

Oh good lord. There was a novel I read in a southern lit class that referenced clinical sex studies. It was rather odd. I can't remember a damned thing about it except that it featured that and gin fizzes with raw eggs.
I think some of my education was wasted.

Not so surprising near Harvard and M.I.T. as it would be if I discovered that about my congressional district.
Well, yeah. Thing is, I know I'm only a couple blocks from MIT, but I tend to forget about it. We're not exactly Harvard Square where I live.
Was the original entry one that lambasted the holiday?
This is me trying to think about it objectively: I don't think so. By which I mean, I don't think she intended it to be. It's probably possible to interpret it that way -- she said she didn't need a madeup holiday to remind her, so I suppose people could take that as lambasting -- but I think she was just... saying.
When I don't celebrate a holiday, I don't resent the mere mention of it, and bitch as if anyone who could get enjoyment from it was either a dupe of the mega corporations, or a deluded fool.
I was just thinking, most of the posts I've seen railing against such days are made by people who do celebrate them -- and hate it. Honestly, the amount of posts made by people whose mothers threw apocalyptic sulks if they didn't get the present/dinner/brunch/devotion that they thought they deserved made me really wonder if it doesn't do more harm than good!
But then again, one imagines those particular mother-child relationships are a bit guilt-laden at the best of times, and it's not the day's fault.
By the way, I don't not celebrate Mother's Day because I disapprove (although I admit I'm not big on scheduled holidays anyway, maybe due to my forgetfulness), but rather because my mother has never been home for it. She's always said her mother's day present was being away from her kids for the day. Okay, that sounds mean and disfunctional, but actually it's funny.

Holy crap. That's it.
I read a lot of really random stuff for that class.
