I'm 17. Looking at linoleum makes me want to have sex.

You know how I swore after my first pedicure I'd keep it up? NSM.

HA! Well, now that it's summer, I need to do more foot upkeep since my feet go public. Luckily that might mean just neater toenails.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

Is there a word equivalent for the much older man with a young man? Not cougar, obviously, but something akin to that?

Chickenhawk, no?

Really? That's weirder than "cougar."

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I've always heard "chickenhawk" for older men who go after young women, but I never knew it applied to teh creepy old gay as well. Huh.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Wikipedia backs me up: [link]

Why do I even know that?? I probably learned it from my mother.

Your mother grows more interesting by the day. I stand corrected.

Also, I love this footnote from the wikipedia on "chicken":

^ This term is more common in the UK; the more common term in the US is twink..

I've heard "Daddy" (which is a whole other type of disturbing to me), but I guess that's a really specific type of older/younger gay relationship.

Chickenhawk, no?

I think that one's being taken over by Persons Who Rah Rah Us Into War But Would Never Go Themselves Under Any Circs. Or at least in my blog circles.

I think it goes both ways. So to speak.

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

ita, do you have plans for saturday?

No, not a one.

Cougar is an animal with grandeur, and chickenhawk...well, it strikes me as a step down from hawk, at least. But wait--is the etymology that chickenhawks prey on (spring) chickens? What's the cougar etymology?
