Scholar or researcher. I'm good at finding information, and can remember most of what I read (even if I just scan over it). And I've always liked books more than people. Posted via Mobile Device

HA HA HA HA! You guys crack me up! A lot of guys like protate stimulation, but not necessarily anal sex. Especially not with a horse! Posted via Mobile Device

The Ottawa 501st (Storm Troopers) always go. I'm going to check it out, too, since I know several vendors and game masters. I don't do the dressup thing, though. Posted via Mobile Device

The Wall. Most of the people who love it are PF fans, stoners, or both. The first time I sat down to watchi it (which was only two years ago) I was expecting lots of sizzle and little substance. What I got was a cinematic piece of brilliance. It's sad for me to see such a work of art dismissed casually because it was a rock opera production. It's one of the best films ever made, in my opinion. Posted via Mobile Device

I'm just going to throw in that although men get pinned as being the bigger cheaters, time and time again, statistics show women cheat more. I don't care if other people cheat, but in my own relationship (when I have one) we usually discuss polyamory. Many of my friends here in Ottawa are poly. And it IS NOT the same as being a swinger. It is basically having more than one relationship. Not just sex on the side, but a friendship, too. It doesn't work for everyone, though, as the tradition of monogamy is too deep in many people's minds. (Ergo the guilt when we are not monogamous.) In a polyamorous relationship, rules are set up. Such as: always use protection with other partners, many polys like to meet their partners partner, rules on time allowed to be spent with the other partner (This is a big one, as too much time away from the primary relationship can cause a lot of tension). As long as you're spending the majority of your time and romantic energy with your primary (spouse), then its often overlooked that you have other things on the go (SPs). So guys, keep the romance alive in your primary relationship. Bring home some flowers for your wife just because. Make a reservation to her favorite restaurant and go for a good old fashioned date. Make out like teenagers. If she doesn't feel threatened, she'll be a lot less likely to notice your other activities. Posted via Mobile Device

I agree with Peachy. Communication, people! Not after the fact on the boards, but both before (so you're prepared and aware of each others preferences) and during. People sometimes say/do the wrong thing and if you say nothing, you're not being fair in letting the other person rectify it. Tell the SP or the gentleman what rubbed you the wrong way and how you would rather them do/say it. That way it is clear what is a "no no" and an alternative suggestion is given. No games, no guessing, no awkwardness or tension to ruin the rest of the appointment. The catch being that no, some people are not open to adapting to a lady's/gentleman's preferences. In which case ending the session immediately and politely is the best recourse. (I'd rather turn someone down than suffer through an hour that neither one of us is going to really enjoy).

Cynthash: Yeah, I'm a whole new kind of special, what can I say? Jabba: You've got me laughing out loud! Angela: OUCH! Posted via Mobile Device

It's always fun laughing at other people and their stupidity, but we've all done our fair share of dumb stuff. So let's share some of our biggest D'OH! moments. I walked into an arrow and it was sticking out of my leg like a big, freaky whisker. I had this set of ornamental bow and arrows when I was still living in Victoria. After a move, I was unpacking, sorting and trying to figure out what goes where. The arrows were sitting on top of a box (which was just under knee-height) and I must have pressed my leg in hard enough to stick myself. Didn't even notice until I walked out of the room to get myself a drink and felt this faint pull on my leg. I looked down and burst out laughing. There it was: a two and a quarter foot arrow sticking out of my leg just below the knee. Perpendicular to the floor. I got my medical kit out, and went to work. No stitches, not even any blood. It was the weirdest thing ever. The arrow tips were conical metal and it went in smoothly about an inch and a half (about 4cm). It didn't hit anything, and that must be a dead-zone for nerves since it didn't hurt a bit. I still have a little round scar on the side of my knee. Needless to say when I told people what happened, I got a lot of "you got WHAT in your leg!?". And there's 12 stiches on my arm for not listening to that saying about running with knives. And 3 stitches on a finger for trying to pet my cat with my foot while I was cooking. Now, I can't be the only one to have done dumb things and ended up in stitches (or a cast). What are some of your Scars of Shame? Posted via Mobile Device

MC Chris is HILARIOUS! I sometimes start singing Fette's Vette just for the confused and amused looks it garners me. Posted via Mobile Device

We may pretend we're not as close to the rest of the animal kingdom as we really are, but at the end of the day, we're still mostly instinctual creatures. Spring - for most people, and I am certainly in that group - is exciting. Cold becomes warm, sticks grow buds and leaves, the sun stays longer in the sky. It's a time of tangible vitality. And part of that is fertility/procreation. Interestingly enough, some studies suggest that in the warmer months we tend to be looking more for a "mate", whereas in cooler months we tend more towards casual relations. There's conflicting evidence, though, as we're too complicated and sexed up to really quantify so simply. I think its individual - as the various studies suggest. Spring is certainly a sexier time, but that doesn't necessarily mean more sex. Personally, the seasons have zero impact on my sex drive. My stress level and how happy I am does.

Ethiopia. The alleged home of the Holy Grail. (Seriously, they are surprisingly rich in Christian history. And military prowess.) Posted via Mobile Device

Rhode Island ('Cause I'm sick of E's and N's!)

Zurich. Often rated in the top places to live.

Hee hee hee.... woops! (turns chocolate chips into rainbows) Zimbabwe.

that was overdue.

Antarctic. That'll give ya a shiver!

Oh there's tons of "x" places. Mostly in China. How about: Xi An.

of epic porportions

Uh.... what? Nice. 'Cause it's nice there.

This whole thing makes me so angry, and disgusted in the government. They have a chance to at least try to smooth things over by just giving a bit of funding and some respect to these grassroots groups. And to stop acting like street girls are garbage. They messed up by not acting on Picton fast enough. They are making it worse by handling the fallout with such ... distance. At the risk of sounding cliche: where is the humanity?

Curses! You're immune! Hmmmm... Double double, toil and trouble.... Nanaimo. Home of the bars (I honestly thought so when I lived there. I was 4 okay! And they do bathtub races.)

And... here's your hemlock cocktail. ;-) (Yeah I know that was Socrates, but still....) Xai Xai (Mozambique. Yes I had to look that one up.)

Let's go somewhere warmer, shall we? Senegal.

I don't really wish to address any of your points. I don't like the way you come across. I'm sure others will discuss their opinions with you.
