Have I mentioned that I know the new director of my favorite porn site?
Or that I've been trying to hook up with a girl who turns out to be this week's model?
The first fact has been strange to deal with. I've watched him do this sort of stuff to women before, but it's generally not cool if I masturbate while he's working. You know, cuz of all those occasions where it is. *boggle* Hell, I still freak out a little whenever I admit that I jerk off online.
Tangent: Is it just me, or is female masturbation "cool" all of sudden in the last five years, but male masturbation is still "funny?"
The second factoid presents a strange social dilemma. Do I mention it to her? In the same email where I ask her out to dinner again? I sort of suspect that I know how she'd react, and what the best course is, but from an outside observer's view.....I bet some people would find this awkward.
Not me, though. I'm way too tactless to ever really feel awkward. Well. Maybe awkwardly tactless, on occasion.....

Lacuna Diving Bunny and I are planning a week-long trip down to Frolicon to celebrate our 3-year anniversary. I'm a little nervous, because she and I have never spent more than two or three days together in a row and I'm worried that she'll get sick of me while we're on the road.
One of my high school classmates, who has reestablished contact through facebook, lives directly on the path of our trip, and we've made dinner arrangements with her. This raised all sorts of questions about how to explain who we are to each other and the purpose of our trip. You can't very well tell a vanilla that you're celebrating three years together without expecting them to ask, "So when are you getting married?" I think it'd be pretty awkward to say, "Oh, she's already married." ( Read more... )
The entire thing represents my first real attempt to step back from my Extremist Attitude Towards Truth, and I'm not entirely comfortable with that aspect of it. I have caused so much damage to the lives of my friends, intentionally or otherwise, with the casual deceptions that were so much a part of my relationship with My Ex, that I still feel a deep and abiding need to atone for those lies.

There is no phrase in Hinduism akin to "The Devil made me do it."
There are a couple hundred layers of meaning to that first sentence, and it is hard for me to know where to begin when explaining why that is. My first thought is to try to break the sentence down to the two key phrases which are so utterly un-Hindu: "the devil" and "made me."
But even after breaking down the idea into these two concepts, I still don't see an easy way to explain just how inappropriate they are to the Hindu mindset. ( Read more... )
Note: This got much longer than I intended, and I ended up running late for my Friday night plans. As such, it hasn't been edited nearly as well as I usually do. You have been warned.
