Question Month - Round X
Well, you keep asking 'em so I'm a'gonna keep answering them...
March is question month - you can ask me one by commenting to this post...
Q: Wanna be startin' somethin'?
A: Might-could...
Q: have u got a favourite mnemoic?
A: G.R.O.S.S. - Get Rid Of Slimy girlS ... Well, I guess that's an acronym but fuck-it... Answer would be no I 'spose.
Q: What's with all the "He" on twitter?
A: Well, I was having some fun with how Twitter was originally presented to me. That is, Twitter sells itself as a way of stating to people what you are doing at a given moment in time. When you do so it's stated as [user handle] [activity] so the examples you would see were like [user handle] is standing in Times Square pondering the essence of his being. Now it's evolved (devolved?) into a big ol' virtual space chatroom of exchanges and randomness - i.e. pickles are gross... you're gross... I like pickles... I like to tickle my pickle... tickling pickles is for poor people...etc... And, hey - it's all good. I like that too. I mean, I'd like it more if people learned how to use "d [user handle]" to reply to folks but in the long run it matters not. If I didn't enjoy Twitter so much I'd stop having people on my Follow list and I'd stop posting to it a dozen times a day.
Q: What makes you cry?
A: Oh, just about anything. I'm a huge pussy.
Q: What are your five favorite music CDs of all time?
A: Wow... that's a big ol' pile of ponder you've tossed me into. Of the top of my head let's go with Radiohead - OK Computer, U2 - Joshua Tree, REM - Document, Jane's Addiction - Nothings Shocking, The Beatles - Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band... With points to bands like Muse, The Dandy Warhols, Weezer, Beck, and The Shins for being in on that mix too.
Q: Not allowing that it's a decision that a couple should arrive at together through communication, what are your personal views on open relationships?
A: They only work when there is complete trust within the relationship. I think couples open their relationships for the wrong reasons. Or maybe they open 'em for the right reasons but they aren't honest enough with one another to truly share how they feel. And when you aren't able to do that feelings fester and animosity grows. I've only been in one open relationship really and when we opened things it was one of those "this is broken, let's open it to fix it" type deals and it kept us together for another year or so before it ended up breaking us up. I don't think i was a together enough person to handle it at the time. With all my Dad/abandonment issues it was really hard for me to trust someone. I've worked on that though and I feel like I'm in a place now where I really could be in an open relationship and have it work. I know men who adore each other and have understandings about playing together and apart. It works for them because there is no doubt of the love they have for each other. I am not a believer in the opinion that an open relationship is of less value that a monogamous one. I think that is horse shit. Love is love. So yeah, I'm open to it. It would all depend on the person I'm with. Monogamy could be just as fulfilling.
