I am so glad that I didn’t offend people with my tales of drunken random acts of slapping and aggression. Joe posted about a question about talking to your friends about issues in addition or instead of a shrink. Hmmm… if you had a friendship that you could say whatever you want, yeah. But sometimes I get shy, ashamed, or proud. Certain friends make me feel more or less comfortable about certain topics. Also, some friends give horrible advice or just plain respond poorly to your issues (ie: "you are NOT ugly/fat/dumb/boring" isn’t what I need to hear when I ask these dreaded introspective identity-issue question…)

Shabby Sheik: sorry I erased the wrong post but I’m not sorry about hating your pictures. I don’t see how you degrade yourself, I didn’t see the pic of the indian guy and I didn’t know that the other guy was guy. Basically, I saw that you had very unflattering pictures of 3-4 women. You can believe what you want to about not being sexist, racist, etc., but by laughing at the expense of people who deal with discrimination based on sexuality, size, gender, race, etc., you are perpetuating their strife and send a signal that it’s okay to continue the degredation and discrimination…

To Andrew and anyone else curious about the West Virginia guy. We seem to be an on-again off-again phone sex friend. I used to think that I want to meet him, but I am so emotionally entrenched in other issues that there’s no way I can delve into other people’s baggage.
