Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

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.

Is it late enough in the day to start drinking?

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.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

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 tagless for your comfort.

It's a good thing I'm the type that does one night stands. DH and I are are on year sixteen of a one night stand. I didn't know his last name until night number 2.

Owen and Olivia are not supposed to know this. If they find out, I'll be looking for you people.

What is even happening?

If that's what it takes to meet you in person...

Dear Owen and Olivia,

Sometimes, when two people love each other very much they have a special way of showing it. But sometimes, people have just had a lot to drink, and well sometimes, they're floozies.

Love,
Auntie Cindy

Ooh! I have a friend who's a serious caver. I should tell him about this. (Altho, prolly already knows.)
