It really was the funniest thing -- she's all up now on the origins of Kirk/Spock. Apparently it was female engineers who invented fanfic.
I get confused. I remember everything. I remember too much, and... some of it's made up, and... some of it can't be quantified, and... there's secrets.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

He just couldn't parse that there were chicks that liked that stuff.
He doesn't realize that more than half the Queer as Folk audience is women (presumably mostly straight)?

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Hot boys doing hot boys. What's to parse?

Guess what I watched (for the first time) with him and his BF the next night? I wasn't sure if I needed to represent the perverts right then, or if it'd be better to let him process what he'd just learnt first.

Because hot chicks doing hot chicks is so sneered at as respectable porn for straight guys, I guess.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Present! (And stunned. A comic book that husband and I found in a video game he bought several years ago just sold on ebay for $123. Some days, the world does not suck.)

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
You know, I remember reading an sex advice column in which the advisee was a woman who liked to watch (male) gay porn. As I recall, the advisor told her to go see a therapist, because while men being aroused by lesbians was well known, women getting turned on by guy-on-guy action was clearly deviant.
Unfortunately, I can't remember now if this was in the LA Times in the 80s (if it was, it was the same column that mentioned the caloric content of semen in the course of a spit or swallow discussion) or if it came up in an anthropology class.
Yay for free money, Dana!

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Not least of all because I had my car paid up on time, but the tags didn't go on for about three months because I kept getting distracted.Which reminds me, the car really needs to be cleaned soon so I can put my new tags on. To do this week: stop acting like a movie stah...
I don't know if this means I'm a cannibal or a pervert.Either way, the boss' son just showed up. He's young and pretty cute. Want him? I could stuff him in a box, slap a label on and Travis is your kitten.
