"maiden's banter and smiles and deceits and sweet delight and lovemaking and gentleness." -Hesiod

Sometimes when I'm feeling lazy, yet sensual, I think about trading in my usual shower for a tongue bath.  It works for cats.  They're usually pretty clean.  They smell a little, but I think it's because they're carnivores.

I think it's possible that all of these minor distinctions between polyamory, bigamy, fuck-buddies,  open relationships, polyfidelity, romantic friendships, etc. are just navel gazing jibber-jabber.  It seems like every major relationship I've had has spent a fair amount of time meandering around in this nonspecific grey area of relationship ambiguity, and I don't think it makes a difference what you call it.

"Can I see your weiner on webcam?"
"ehhh, maybe later."
" :( "
....
"what's it doing right now?"
"it's in my pants."
"that's cool ... ..."

first dates.  Sometimes I think I would be better served entertainment-wise if I was staring at my vagina with a handheld mirror.  If you have a small furry animal and offer to bring it on the date with us, I am approximately 639% more likely to go on a date with you even if I don't like you, and that is god's honest truth.

I love birding!  How come I never realized what a great hobby this was when I took biology?  I love watching them fly and seeing them hop around.  That's one thing that bothers me about public schools today, you spend all this time learning facts you don't find interesting and filling out worksheets, but inspiring lifelong passions in students about any of the subjects that are taught is not emphasized.
I was reading this fascinating book in Half-Price Books the other day called Why Don't Students Like School.  It is a puzzling question to me because not only does figuring something out stimulate your brain in a way that feels good, I also know many people (and this is true of myself as well) who love clicking from one Wikipedia article to the next and filling their brains with information, but found school boring and irrelevant.  So this was a cognitive scientist's perspective on that question.  This guy had some seriously good, practical, evidence-based, advice for teachers that I found worthwhile.  Plus it seemed really non-fadish and like he wasn't pushing an agenda.  Some of these education books it's like "Geeze! Shut up about discovery learning already!"

 Alright so I finally made good on my intentions and made a tumblr with delicious outdoorsy rugged men in it:

The other day I helped my mom clean out the garage, and we found a tin of my Granny King's hair.  She used to have long auburn hair that went all the way to the floor that she used to wear up in a bun all the time (Except when she'd put her hair over mine to see what I'd look like with auburn hair ::P).  When she went into a nursing home they cut it off.  Even though it's weird, I still think it's neat to have it.
