The Prince and Me: Awesome movie.#

My first French Kiss was a mess. I was deeply closeted and trying, in college, to pretend that I could be straight if I believed I was. No one else did, of course, but would I let something so insignificant as reality get in the way of fitting in?

Her name was Shannon and I had known her since we were both in the Mentally Gifted classes at Roosevelt Elementary School. Her father was a geophysicist or he invented rocks or he owned a steam train or something. She had vaguely Asian features, though she was not Asian, and very long, very blonde hair. She was smart and funny and had large breasts. If I was gonna turn straight for anyone, it would be her.

And women, you think it's all about the pretty gir1s, you think this stuff about the guys wanting the smart gir1s, the confident gir1s, it's all baloney. That's because the guys who actually talk to you are the extroverted a-holes. They don't like women anyway. They don't even like themselves. They just want to get laid.

Yes, in public I am looking at the pretty gir1s. What else am I supposed to do? It's not like the smart gir1s are walking around with their PhD abstracts written on their tshirts (note to fashion mavens: this would be good). I can crush just as easily on some woman of completely unknown visage if I read her blog and she has interesting intelligent things to say.

This guy is great.

I've been reading a lot recently, but I haven't felt the desire to link to much of it.#
