I'm actually a fan of sex with violence. I like it. I like ti read it written well.
However, the 50Shades version of weak/innocent/meek/needy will do anything for love with a "hottie" she "doesn't deserve" + cold and calculated assjack is pretty much the opposite of sexy. It's creepy... and repugnant.

The Story of O, on the other hand... also a tale of a female bottom... is dynamic and deeply self evaluating IMO.

I've played both parts... and both can be played with heat, feeling, and love and without all that other twaddle.

Yeah, that's what I said. Only, um, better.

I'm only finishing it because I refuse to be defeated by it. I leave that glory to War and Peace (for now), and Conan the Barbarian (possibly forever- oh the chauvanism!)

Hmm... Twilight (just the first book) defeated me... twice!
Then the second movie was on cable and my dear son put it on while I was home... because he had a girl around. Bleh.
And later he asked me how I felt about it. My response, I'll never get that time back... staring at a blank wall would have been better.

Did you read Anna Karenina? I was less intimidated by that than War and Peace, but still slightly intimidated it's a generous volume with a reputation of it's own. I read it a few Christmas holidays ago and enjoyed it thoroughly! It was wonderful. War and Peace is still on my list....
I'm working my way through Proust... thus the title of my own Journal. It will NOT defeat me! All 1.5 million or so words will be digested eventually.

Never tried Conan... fell in love with Drizzt Do'Urden as a young lass... still love him.

[drssgchic]

Don't bother with Conan. Fantasy pre-feminism. *shudder* (Not that I don't like big, hulking barbarian youths, but I have a problem with EVERY queen and lady and busty shepardess throwing themselves at him)

I have been introduced to Drizzt. Hmm, I should look him up again.

I haven't read Anna Karenina. I saw the movie ages ago. The Russian stuff is on my "If I can have a year in which to be a scholarly hermit" list. So, someday? Maybe? If I manage to get this seasonal thing rolling, I can spend my winters curled up with a good book like you're supposed to.

[cori93437]

I recently embarked on a lark of re-reading the ENTIRE Drizzt series ... all 22 volumes! LOL
I think I'm on 12 now... only 10more to go!
I also read other stuff on the side... Deepak Chopra's The Budda atm, on a whim.

They are easy fare though... a bit of candy fluff even, if of a rather antiquated flavor in my mind. You know... a favorite childhood sweet that I might hate if I was introduced to it now...
Drizzt throws in a bit of "philosophy" at the beginning of each chapter. Being that he's a 'ranger' it's earthy and rather stoic, I wonder if that is what ultimately led me towards the Eastern and such philosophies as an adult.
Books are a wonderful thing.

hallo bookworms

i took pictures of plants cause i'm white and nerdy

but first, the biggest white boy fro i've ever seen. from the front you could only see the center of his face. i consider this covert picture the pinnacle of my success as a human


none of the itty bitty rose bushes have given me more roses, but they are sprouting new leaves and stems so i guess that's okay.. i guess. and so, here we have waka who was pretty stoked to be out with me alone cause the other 2 wouldn't make up their fluffy little minds


this is the result of kelp. kelp is plant viagra. kelp made my strawberries get boners. you've been warned, the next time you eat a strawberry, it grew on a boner


holding hands all romantical


hello food


it took almost a month, but the fuscia is finally repaired from its fall headfirst and growing new stems

[bloodorchid]

and i went trolling around goodwill today. i have this thing where i like weird things and old things and weird old things



i already had this, but, you know, vintage naked lady covered in whip cream


jesus christ my back aches. it aches so much it's making my right breast ache. and a hydro isn't making it less achey. i had to cave in and take and hydro AND a muscle relaxer night before last. it made me feel drunk but less sore

(Ertha Kitt was always amazing)

[bloodorchid]

good morning to you too lovely lady

violin guy is wearing a shirt made of cheap satiny material. his pants... are the same fabric. so that along with his goofy smile and hair and bright blue violin is the epitome of passion

his sexytimes will blow you away

that woman was a walking talking cat, i swear. and it's led me to bring out and dust off one of muh favorite disney songs AND EVERYBODY READING THIS HAS TO LISTEN

I'LL KNOW IF YOU DON'T

[drssgchic]

I can't see the movies, but I heartily approve of the whipped cream and other delights

Do you need a back/boob rub? I'm just here to serve.

[bloodorchid]

i asked my bay why he didn't offer that and he said maybe i'd like a different set of hands. i said he just wanted to watch ladies be all touchy

he denied it

i don't believe it

*looks extra pitiful for hours and hours of rubs*

i decided today i needed to man up and go low carb. i have pcos dammit. i can't just.. do whatever *waves hand* and listening to ursula sing helps me get properly annoyed with my weak willedness. i'm already weaned off diet soda (AGAIN D:<) fuuuu

i KNOW it's self sabotage. maybe i feel safer being invisible, i don't know. no, i DO feel safer that way. i am a damn kicked puppy cringing away from every eyeball in the world

so here we go. day 1.
