reflections...
My mom rocks...just so y'all know.
so, the most exciting part of my day today was when I ordered"A straight girl's guide to sleeping with chicks", which looked funny, intriguing, cheap-especially with left over gift certificate money-and a guide to female sexuality a bit more broadly than simply what the title states (thanks, jessica, for the suggestion, btw). Anyway, I spaced out, and definitely had it sent to my home address instead of my dorm address.
Yeah. Probably not such a great idea. By the time I realized, the order could no longer be changed, so a quick bout of email writing ensued, trying to explain a potentially very awkward situation with my parents.
I basically said that I had decided to buy it because it looked intriguing as an exploration of sexuality, and sorry I sent it to that address but could they please keep it or forward it to me?
My mom's answer?
"No problem. Have fun exploring and feel free to ask me anything if you feel like it.
Mom"
yeah, so, maybe I really should talk to her.
On a similar topic...I talked to Jared and he mentioned the Kinsey scale, which was interesting. I think I had heard about it before, but I had forgotten.
It's really interesting to look into all sorts of other people's experiences and research and whatnot and start to get a much more varied picture of humans as sexual creatures. I'm also driving myself crazy by over analyzing my thoughts and feelings...but it's so fascinating.
Knowing me, I will continue looking for labels, fitting myself to them, and challenging them for the rest of my life...But in the meantime, I mean to find out as much about myself and people in general as I possibly can, starting with who I'm attracted to, and why. In fact, that question alone will probably never be totally answered, but that's not going to stop me from asking it, questioning everything I do, and trying to find the best possible answer. Maybe I am a bit obsessive.
