It All Comes Down to Family

[itsallovernow]

I am looking up sex on the internet. This is less fun than it sounds. Educational, but not fun. Because despite years of practical experience, the internet still knows more than I do. And whether I'm looking up practical advice or am just merely doing research, I keep hitting on the moments of "do people really do that?" which makes me feel ridiculously naive and vanilla and also like the only sane person in the universe because seriously, "do people really do THAT?!!!" (This is always a passing phase, because, well, most of us have done things that would raise those same questions and really sex is such a joyous absurdity anyway, and yet so deadly serious that in this post-modern age, it's a wonder any of us do any fucking at all!)

I'm also simultaneously watching Full Metal Alchemist, Beaches, and Saving Grace for the following reasons.

a) I like FMA, even though I'm relying on the FauxVo Moxi to record it (plus AdultSwim to run it) with the result being that I keep seeing the same blocks of eps over and over again. I'm expanding my viewing an ep at a time, moving outward sort of like those crayon sunbursts we used to make in grade school with the concentric scribbles of color moving out from the black dots.

b) Because my mother always cries over Beaches and now I always cry over it too and it's the absolute nadir of girly soppiness to do so and yet I cannot fucking help myself.

c) I love Holly Hunter. And I love hard-bitten, adulterous, hard-living, angry cops. And plus, it's Monday night and what the hell else do I have to do.

IV. I'm writing Aeryn/Vala porn for projectjulie and it really, really has no plot, but not only is it a balance of pronouns, but the descriptors are KILLING me. And, I keep wondering if I'm doing it right.

F - Recently, wearemany lovingly described her parents as deeply sincere people, and it's really revealing to me how much my generation revels in irony in the face of the true sincerity of most of our parents. Spending the weekend with my mother revealed this to me, so much of her reflected in me, and so little of me reflected in her, and I'm vaguely embarrassed by her... lack of connection to the world of technology and pop culture and what a stupid thing to be embarrassed by and I think it's mostly because I see my own future in her actions and sincerity.

Someday, I'm going to be the woman with outspoken views on politicians with no earthly idea of who the DC madam is.

My brain is currently blown with disconnect. I should really go to bed.

In conclusion, M. swept the floor, then left the pile in the middle of the floor. Baffling. As baffling as his lack of ice creation. Sigh. I'd really like some ice.

*doesn't know Adult Swim as it from across the ocean omg*

But wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Uh, I'm a FMA addict. Poke me if you want to read the manga.

I do startlingly poorly with manga(way too many distractions in the words/pictures thing), but the offer is MUCH appreciated.

It's not really my thing, but FMA so kicks ass. *snuggles it*
