I have to respectfully disagree about the Ethical Slut rec. It's interesting and has some great points, but I found it kind of preachy and self-righteous overall.

I have to admit that I read only a few chapters of it, so I can't really recommend the whole book; just the first few chapters. (Dorky attempt at a joke.)

I didn't find what I read to be preachy, but then, I'm also not poly or poly-curious. Maybe if I were poly, the book would have come off as preachy to me. (Lord knows enough kink books have that One True Way tone, and they make me want to heave.)

Still, I think that The Ethical Slut can be helpful as a sort-of guidebook (not rules; *guidelines* t /PotC ), especially for people who think they're poly but don't know what the best next step to take is.

(I blame all typos on The Boy's weird-ass ergonomic keyboard.)

And in other news, Sean has a gay cat.

He's not gay. He's sartorially inclined. Also a eunuch.

I'm completely charmed by the bowtie-wearing cat.

In my research, I came across this article and its mention of social capital and online communities: [link]

Yes. He's metrosexual. So there.

Kitty doesn't do labels. He's whatever he wants to be.

My mom took me shopping today. Our favorite clothing store (which typically has wicked sales anyways) had a 40% off everything sale--and that meant 40% off the already marked down stuff (shorts for $4! Pants for $4.50! Craziness!). I made off like a BANDIT! It was awesome. And, because I got an absolutely gorgeous red leather jacket for $35, I felt I needed boots that matched. Crazy fun!
