Perspective

Then:

Sex isn't really possible for me unless there's at least one girl involved.

Now:

Sex isn't even remotely likely unless there's at least one "girl" and no "boys" involved.

Do note the differences; they feel huge to me.

A random passerby goes off topic

I know that the topic is sex/boi/boy/girl/grrl/remotely likely.
I apologize in advance for failing to be a well-mannered random visitor who either forbears to comment until a less intimate
topic came up, or who merely forbears to comment at all.
But tonight I did an exercise in "search Livejournal"
which I think I'll share.

I played the "imagine users" game. First, I imagined
someone was named "helpless", and sure enough, I hit
someone named 'helpless', with a post last July about
the shortcomings of a boy.

Then I tried "helpful". Sorry, no users.

How about "helper"? Again, no users.

Then I hit on "feckless". Here you were, on the conditions
of intimacy with a boy, a girl, or not.

I am intrigued that nobody is helper or helpful,
but feckless and helpless are well represented.

Back to surfing now, and have a good weekend (grin).
