thoughts on sex? oh don't worry if you're over 30..no details

I'm not REALLY going to talk about sex, but I am going to talk about a MOVIE about sex. Be forewarned. I'm watching Shortbus, the long awaited second feature from that guy who made that musical about the transsexual musician--yes, that guy. I'm not terribly far into it yet, so I cannot really critique or praise it--BUT I wanted to say a few things. 

 1) the use of "Winter Love" by the Animal Collective was, perhaps, a perfect choice for that scene. I wonder if it fit our heroine's mood...perhaps not...but it was such a joy to hear a song put to good use. 

 2) sex therapist who hasn't had an orgasm--seems a little hokey, even to me. 

 3)if i end up becoming a sex therapist it won't be because of this movie, but this movie did remind me of that dream...

 4) are any of these actors really gay? does it matter? or are they simply answering the call of duty as I believe all people are capable. OR, as my motto goes, "kiss anything long enough..." 

 5) okay..that's not actually my motto and, besides, who ends motto's with ellipses? my sexuality is doing fine...how is yours? no, really...I'd love to know.

my seuality is cool, but my sexual activity is ziltch. I miss you...but that doesn't have anything to do with the sentence before it. We've been watching Tales From the Crypt and thinking of you..."Hello kiddies! eh heh he heeeeeeee!"

winter, loneliness and the tragedy of online personals

*a forgotten post from December 20th...last year* it is officially winter now, isn't it? or are we waiting for a sign--perhaps a lonely snowflake or at least a bit of lacy frost on the window? all i get, other than closer to my winter vacation, is exhaust when i exhale. i guess there is one other thing i get this time of year--the need. i am one of those people who rarely feels such things--I don't write long long entries in my diary about MY crushes...otherwise the pages would be rather virginal. but, this time--this place I'm spending far too much time wandering and flinging glances like lances into beautiful people's eyes. I must mention here, as well, that I am sure I could have SOMETHING, if I get desperate, but who wants to jump into...hah...maybe most people... I am probably on almost every single online dating site in Japan. I'd list them here but they're all rather redundant and, dearest readers, don't worry about me sullying my reputation; I...

flick flick flicker, and go..............

I retreated in dissapointment to my car that was parked in staff parking to smoke a cigarette and listen to tom waits on the way home. I felt a bit of ecstacy. I felt very close to my surroundings. Threatened at the gas station, and admiring of the city in which I live. The road constructions, never quite done here, are we? the meddling men with no where to go, the diurnal downtown streets, the neons greens and reds directing me safely home once again.

The aftermath: gay, hail, and the probability of hell

The only sin, unforgivable, is to doubt the holy spirit. I knew that today would be special when it started hailing. You see, in Florida it rarely hails. I sat outside of my house, windows fogged, staring out at dime sized bits of ice bouncing off my poor car. It was more than 80 degrees and still the bits of ice fell. What does that say of heaven? I wore a prom dress out tonight--a black dress with lace and gloves and pearls and silver cross ala early Madonna, if you can imagine. I had a fear, the whole night, about who, and who would NOT, come to this event. I had spoken before about "code words." these were words that we had predetermined to mean "I really mean this--take me seriously..If you are my friend..DO THIS." and my fear was that few of my friends would take my cue and come to the dance that I had spent weeks planning. Few did, but the few that did were priceless. Sometimes we doubt the friends we have and sometimes we trust the friends we do not ...
