"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

We went to the local farmers market the other day! It was dissapointingly small, but I got some yummy tomatoes that I am going to make a caprese salad with and I bought zucchini bread which I haven't had in forever and it was so yummy. I so need a job, but I don't know if I have the energy for it. I post about food a lot, because sometimes it feels like it is the only thing I accomplish at all.

Mostly lurking...

Not!Emily wants to die. He got home from vacation this morning. I just chatted with him for 10 minutes, and he said at least 4 ridiculous things.

When do I move again?

Go Nora and sj with the school stuff!

ETA: Is it late enough in the day to start drinking?

Always Anti-fascist!

I missed SN the first time around. I'm not sure I've been around enough to know if I *ever* felt that kind of instant attraction...I haven't yet, but I'm pretty private in the few places I can be, but I shouldn't say never, right?

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

I've never had sex with someone I've known less than an hour -- I'd say 2 1/2 hours? It was a bacherlorette party night on the town, the sex was amazing and it turned into a long-term sex-only kind of booty call thing.

OH, wait, and then there was that one guy at the after-hours jazz and blues club. Boy, he was pretty. That was about 2 1/2 hours, too.

So one true one-night stand. And oddly enough, the only quick hook-up's I've had have been with guys in their early-ish 20's. Hmmm.

I don't feel badly about either of them. I feel weirder when I'm dating someone; it seems a lot more complicated.

The sun is over the yardarm, ms. bug. Drink at will.

I've probably broken all the rules sex-wise. Which is, undoubtedly, why I'm now NGA. Payback's a bitch. Actually, I fall more along the ita line of dating. If you ping me, I'll go there. More often than not it's a one-fer. If he's local, maybe even a five- or six-fer. But I'm more comfortable with men who only know my body and not my mind. Mainly, because even the one's who stick around have never cared to know my mind, they think because they know my philosophy of sex that they know me. Nuh and uh. So, most times I do a preemptive strike, get what I want and get out. Haven't met anyone who's made me want to change my habits yet.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I tend towards the Steph area of the spectrum. I don't know that I could do the one-night stand thing. I have no moral objections to the notion, in abstract at least, but I overthink things.

This (along with other personality traits) also means that I find being in a relationship much easier than the notion of no-strings-attached sex.

In conclusion, there's a miniature blimp hovering over Melbourne. And Indian short-haired otters are cool.

How do they differ from other otters?

It's too hot. 102 outside. 89 inside. I hope it doesn't go over 90 before I can start cooling it down in here in several hours. I have kitty stress because the poor boos are just sweltering.

Larger family groups. They get cocky about it too. They'll face down a crocodile who intrudes on their turf. Otter Sopranos!

Oh, and next week on David Attenborough's Planet Earth: Caves! This is going to rock so seriously hard.

Now I want to see this.

OOOOHHHHHH! Excellent.
