And I came across this via a google search. "As was eventually revealed in the 1990s when the unexpurgated versions of Anaïs Nin's diaries were published, Anaïs Nin claims to have had an incestuous relationship with her own father during her late 20s. It has been claimed that this incestuous relationship was encouraged by one of her therapists, who suggested that in retaliation for her father's abandonment of her during her childhood, Anaïs Nin should seduce her father in adulthood and then abandon him. In theory, this was supposed to leave Anaïs Nin feeling empowered."

Um, what? First of all, glad her shrink was encouraging the act of revenge. That's always really healthy for someone psychologically. Splendid. Also? Incest? That's what this "professional" suggested? "I'm sorry your daddy abandoned you. You know what you should do though? You should totally fuck him and leave him. Seriously." If revenge was the only method of therapy the shrink could suggest; then he or she was certainly scraping the barrel. If perhaps she decided she must have that revenge, she could have re-opened their father-daughter relationship and then just stopped contacting him completely after they got close again. I imagine this would have achieved the desired effect, without the added bonus of creepy relations. Seriously though, no shrink prescribed incest please, kay? Thanks.
In other news: I love the song, "All the right moves" by OneRepublic. It's freakin' beautiful. And the music video is beyond sw33t. I love the dancers/choreography in it. There is this one scene during the lyrics, "They'll be the king of hearts, and you're the queen of spades", that I particularly enjoy. Right when, "and you're the queen of spades", is sung one of the male dancers in a couple looks his female partner up and down. It's really subtle and in perfect rhythm with the line, and I just love it. I don't even know why. I squee every time I see it. Lame!
I love spell checker. It tried to find replacements for "squee". Ha.
