So, be warned, this may not be my most forward thinking post, but I’ve been thinking about the contradictions inherent in myself recently, and thought writing about them, whilst posting some relevant videos might be something I could do on a Sunday. Apologies if I offend.
Anyway, here’s my confession. I absolutely adore sassy, sexually [...]

Careful everybody, this could be a bit of a bumpy ride.
I’ve been reading up on the objectification in porn arguments again. Some interesting and potentially controversial points show up here, and lead me to here.
So there’s a lot of talk about objectification here. A couple of things that stand out to me are the following:
‘Objectification [...]

Picked this up from HPS…what’s my ‘dating persona’?
Oh joy I’m:

Edit: Just did some further reading and the preferred term for Berdache is Two Spirit (Berdache is etymologically Spanish in origin and has negative connotations…however, I don’t want to say ‘Spirituality of the Two Spirit’ as it’s repetitive. More information here.)
So, just read an amazing post by V. There are some aspects of feminism a [...]

Posted on 2 April 2007. Filed under: Everything, Meme, Questions, Thoughts, life |
Recently I got tagged (voluntarily) for a meme that got a little out of control. Not in a bad way though…It was actually incredible fun all the way down the line.
Anyway, it started with five questions…and then suddenly I was asking questions to everybody. Now, this is all good, and it got me a lot [...]

So, among other things I’ve been reading a bit more news than usual. Particularly the Guardian because it’s what I read generally, if only because I’d happily pay the cover price for getting to read whose Birthday it is (and raising an ale to anyone I respect…if possible) and the Quick Crossword…that makes me feel [...]

Lots of Inspirational things have been driving my way in the last twenty four hours or so. Not least of all is a wonderfully thoughtful webcomic called Copper. Seemingly just about a clever dog and his wise young master and their path through life. I’ve never seen anything so cute that manages to be as [...]

Music has been treating me grand recently.
After a less than satisfying set on Saturday (not enough people there that early, and only about fifteen to twenty minutes of the set really worked….the ending was rushed, I thought it was getting better but I tried to squeeze too many songs into the end of my set…they [...]

So, indeed, I did watch the Science of Sleep the night before last. I enjoyed it massively, in fact it was an incredibly personally affective film for me. A little nerve-wracking almost, for all the naive silliness that goes on. I’ll explain in a moment.
First off let me mention that the french title is shown [...]

So, it’s miles off from the full moon and everything’s gone a little weird.
I think I’m having fun. In principle at least.
I keep on not thinking about what I’m saying and just splurging random sentences based on things I can see or smell or am remembering. Poor Mr Subliminal had to put up with me [...]

So, in my previous article on The Squid and the Whale, I commented on the fact that intellectualising stuff can make emotional experiences more troublesome, stressful, painful and more difficult to react to.
I think I actually succeeded in entirely detaching myself from the fact that it’s been a problem I’ve had for ages. It [...]

hair everywhere said 10 minutes ago:I haven’t been up to much these days. Such is life. I’ve just been letting everything happen without me these days, but I don’t care.
That was it. It cropped up in my ‘My comments’ page. It was underneath a conversation I’d had ages ago about gerrymandering, and proportional [...]

So.
I’ve just noticed as I listen to the music I currently hear pouring into my ears, that there is a common theme between the music, and the reason why I love the film I watched last night so much.
People…the way people talk and communicate… the importance and power of the tiniest moments and things.
This may [...]

It’s time to act like I’m older and more prudish than I actually am.
Though I do mean it.
Basically there was an article in the Education Guardian yesterday about young kids and porn.
There’s a lot of stuff in there..it’s one of those slightly irritating articles that doesn’t go into any detail about anything. It raises a [...]

So what does the future hold.
A recent discussion with a certain archivist led me to do some thinking about what the future holds. In fact a lot of things have been making me think about the future, including the fact that I’m currently typing on Michael’s Soft Vee Star or something. (The future has been [...]
