Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Also, Oh shit, I think I'm demisexual. At least to some extent.

After reading the description, I think I am too. But less, "oh shit" and more, "oh, so I'm not the only one!"

I mean, I've had sex with a lot of people, for reasons bad and good and sorta understandable, but the number of people I've WANTED to have sex with purely for the having of the sex, not so many. Actually, I can only think of once, and it didn't happen, for reasons of him being kinda crazy. Wanting to be THAT intimate with someone, and that vulnerable, unless I know them and feel a connection to them, it just doesn't happen for me. Finding someone beautiful or sexy doesn't translate directly into wanting to do the nasty. Often even with a strong connection, the sexual desire doesn't happen. Which is probably why I've always been baffled that humans will so often ruin their lives to have sex with someone. I'm always, "really? how is it possibly worth it?" OTOH, some of the kinky stuff I've done has been almost - I don't know, meta-sexual? I enjoy it but I don't get off; I'm not there for that. The rush is on a different emotional level.

Oh, man, TMI overload. I apologize and will white font. Valium is my excuse. Not deleting, though, because I've never said that "out loud" before.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Wow, Zenkitty. That's fairly well me. The being baffled at others experiences and not getting why it's supposed to be a big deal. And, yeah, the kinky stuff is meta-sexual for me, to the point where I get aggravated at how hyper-sexual other people seem to make their kink. Which I realize is silly to say on the face of it -- duh, kink = sex (at least, in its most facile definition). But my wiring comes in where it *doesn't* equal sex, nor do I want it to.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Martin Freeman makes me think of Sean Pertwee, which makes me go rawr.

I think Cumberbatch is sort of ethereal.

But yeah, liking Sherlock muchly.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

JZ! Are you around?

I KNOW I'm not supposed to go in the Salon letters. I know that... I truly do...

But just now someone referred to my "self-righteous Christianist Right politics" and I'm laughing to the point of weeping.

It's all worth it, JZ, its all worth it.

Do you guys really think that PBS edited bits of Sherlock?

They did. Some bits that were cuttable (some Anderson and Sherlock back-and-forth snarkage during the drugs bust, IIRC), some that had me squinting (I swear, they appear to have cut the cabbie's motivation out entirely, which I wouldn't have done.)

Not, you know, that I've watched this episode a dozen or so times already.

Oh, there was motivation, other than he was dying ?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Why is that oh shit?

My first reaction was sorta, "OK, here's yet one more way in which I'm weird and not like other people - one more thing to make dating difficult for me." But maybe I'm just tired and cranky.

And a lot of what Zenkitty said fits me....

he was dying?

Spoiler-fonted full version yes, he had a sponsor (Moriarty) who paid him per dead body, in a fund that would go to his kids when he died.
