Not inexplicable at all
I've been missing Scott lately, and wondering why. I mean, sure, the sex was some of the most satisfying -- I'd even say fulfilling -- I've ever experienced, and he can be incredibly sweet and funny, but he also really hurt me. But I think maybe I know.

Dear Skype: how exactly is it that having blocked the one person in my entire adult life who's made me feel unsafe in my own home, who stripped me of my last shred of tolerance for douchebags who consider consent anything less than a black and white issue, makes you think I WANT YOU TO KEEP TELLING ME IT'S HIS FUCKING BIRTHDAY???
