(Untitled)
So, I have a unisex name, but it's also the feminized form of a male one. How do you tell a grown-up, who is graciously letting you stay with them after you got evicted, that you'd really prefer if they stopped calling you by a name that isn't yours ( Read more... ) -
Completely Random Inappropriateness
So I was reading a story and it occurred to me (right in the middle of a sex scene, how awkward) that any time a man(/man-shaped thing)'s balls are referenced with any regard to weight, they are always referred to as heavy. Never light, or average or even "weighty," just heavy. What the hell are they being compared to? If there's never light ( Read more... ) -

Better Late the Never...
Going through life, I felt as rootless as a bromeliad, easy to uproot and growing wherever I was because I had no choice. But I think I finally found my home. It’s right where I’d expected it and I may never leave. Well, I still want to travel the world, preferably while I’m still young enough to not have a mortgage and I lot of responsibilities ( Read more... ) -

Star Trek, Shame and Scandal
I've been a Star Trek fan since I was five (or at least, that's as far back as I can remember watching it). And for as long as I've been a Trekkie, I've always been a Next Gen girl. Picard is my favorite captain, I love the crew, I love the show. And for as long as I've been a Trekkie, DS9 has been my least favorite of all of the Treks. I liked ( Read more... ) -
What Do You Do When Things Get Weird?
As a hypothetical question (a real one, not one of those "I have this friend with this problem" when it's really all about you), what do you do if you're with someone and you find out they have some kink or other that seriously squicks you? I mean, really hardcore makes you want to vomit ( Read more... ) -
Growing Up...
...is a series of moments where you're talking to someone--your friends, an acquaintance, your parents (especially your parents)--and you say something only to realize afterward that what you've said is the exact same thing your parents have been telling you for years. Bonus points if they haven't been for a while and you just then realized that, ( Read more... ) -
Death and The Tower
I'm going to get divorced. There's really no other way out of my predicament. James isn't going to change and neither am I and our marriage wont get any better than this. It's going to hurt him and it's going to hurt me and I HATE it but staying together is worse. Hopefully at some point in the future we can be friends again. Now I need to ( Read more... )
