This may be why when I did an anonymous poll on LJ, the median number of partners was 10, as opposed to the government-tell-us FOUR

Alas, I am one of the ones at the opposite end of the scale that make the government estimates likely true. Sigh.

Much moving ~ma vw, and even though she likely won't see it until she's done, cross-country driving ~ma to Emily!

It's noon and overcast. I've been up for a few hours, but have done nothing productive and am absolutely full of gronk. I just have to get things done today, because tomorrow a friend is turning 21, and the party is going to take up all of my non-church time.

Heh. Well, libkitty, it's OK, i do know plenty of people with numbers much smaller than 10! I just thought four sounded low--the men's number was listed as "6 to 8", which I thought sounded much more plausible.

In other news, I'm really hoping this cake I just made is OK. I made two 9" yellow cake rounds, put the first one down, pricked it, poured in some triple sec, covered it in sliced strawberries, put on whipped cream, put on the second layer, and covered the whole thing in whipped cream (whipped with a little powdered sugar and some more triple sec...and some pink food coloring just for fun). It's for a friend's surprise birthday party tonight...

I have to admit I'm boggling at the current LJ meme about sex -- have you slept with a teacher, have you slept with someone 10 years older/younger than you, etc.

The question that has me agog is how many people answered yes to the "Have you had sex with someone within an hour of meeting them?" question. I know I'm way more to the prickly and standoffish end of the spectrum, but -- so, 61 minutes (ish) previously you had no idea this other person even existed, and now you're having sex?!?

I'm no prude, trust me, but I guess it's just that my extremely large personal bubble is not just physical, but psychological, too. Because I won't lend money to someone who I didn't know existed an hour ago, much less fuck them.

meara, I will come test your cake to make sure it's okay. However, I can't guarantee that the cake will survive the testing process, at least not intact.

Spam of the day:

As Lucha is strictly forbidden by nightmare and bickering is the only heat as if he would be much more at home a full blown hilarious catastrophe a fixture in the Peterson's home a hotshot rookie race car driven to succeed head honcho and an investigative reporter for realizing that Sharon is in next door and builds a cricket It's up to Robert Langdon (Hanks) apparent that Tobe is unprepared for They mourn the loss of their loved one

I feel much more abstract, now.

It sounds like teh yum to me. I would recommend that you send one to me for testing, but I don't think it would travel well, so I think I should come there instead.

Hee. Y'all are welcome to come try some of the cake at the party, but I think if I showed up with an already-tried cake, it would be poor form.

Yeah, I goggled a bit at that one too. I mean, heck, you'd think even if you met someone at a party or club and went home with them, elapsed time between meeting and going home would be a couple hours, y'know? I've definitely KISSED people within an hour....I've decided I might be WILLING to sleep with them...but actually done it? NSM.

But this might be why *I* am below the median for my friends, as well.

Now I must get to planning for some help when she arrives in San Francisco. That took five of us. And, while it's harder to pack than unpack, it will probably be easier if it's more than just Emily and Lee.

I was planning on sending out a "hey let's have a pizza and beer while we wait for Emily and then help her unload the van" email, but if you have other ideas, that would be great too.

I think if I showed up with an already-tried cake, it would be poor form.

If I left right now, I'm confident I couldn't get there before the party. Perhaps you should make me another one. Or, I could just drown my sorrows in chocolate.
