August 7 2008: Hot Pot
Filed under Friends with 4 Comments
So tonight, I met Alexandra for the first time. Lovely girl, I have a feeling we could become shopping buddies. She came to my house for dinner, as I was hosting a hot pot dinner night for myself and a number of friends in an attempt to warm up the freezing Melbourne winter nights.
And I’m just slightly afraid she got the wrong impression of me because I’m just slightly intoxicated now and may have been sucking face with the dude person with her right in front of me. Because I’m subtle like that. Uh uh.
I give a good impression when blogging drunk. Oh yeah.
July 18 2008: QOTW: Sexual Mental Images
Filed under Body & Friends & Men & Q.O.T.W. with 19 Comments
I’m conscious of the fact that to a degree, I’ve been self-censoring what I say about bedroom matters. There are a number of reasons for this (surprisingly, none of which involve fear of employers or other authority figures discovering my antics), but first and foremost it’s the sheer fact that for the past few months, my escapades have been taking place with one person only, rather than my former habits of multiple nameless men with whom I had “an agreement”.
Now a brief explanation of my understanding of this reluctance: I know that many of my friends are sexually active. A majority of them are active with numerous partners, as I used to be. That was what made my knowledge of their sexual habits ‘alright’, as I rarely had the chance to get to know their partners on a personal “they’re actually dating rather than simply fucking” level, and thus, rarely had the disturbing mental images of my friends in flagrante delicto with people I actually know. The anonymity of their activities made it a lot more comfortable for myself.
Applying this illogical thought process to my own situation, I can recognise that it may be uncomfortable for my friends (some of whom I know actually read this blog) to read about my sexual adventures with a person whom they may see with me frequently. There’s nothing more disconcerting than having a friendly dinner out, and then suddenly being attacked with the mental image of the couple sitting opposite you copulating in strange positions or places.
I should know - a virtually engaged friend tells me all about her adventures with her partner, and I’m always attacked with mental images of them copulating whenever I see them together. Going by this logic, I really don’t want my friends imagining me doing the higgedy jiggedy with the dude person. And just because I know I can’t be the only person who this affects:
Question of the Week: Are you ever attacked by mental images of your friends or family (or, horrifying, your parents or grandparents) getting down and dirty?
June 20 2008: I’m Going Away Again
Filed under Friends with 10 Comments
Oh my! I’m off on a mini-break this weekend: five girl friends and myself off to the Twelve Apostles for a relaxing break, to rid post-exam stress. We’re well stocked with snacks, bath and body stuff, heaps of DVD box sets, booze, and the Wii. Excitement!
Back on Monday, I shall be totally Internet-less for the whole time so will reply to any emails or the like when I return. Have a lovely weekend!
