I am having a very bad week.

( They say you're supposed to learn from life's obstacles. I think I'm flunking. )

I've had a rough week, so all I want to do is take turns between reading a good book and napping.

So I was linked from metafandom to a post on homoeroticism and fandom. And somehow the thread wandered to the point where thelastgoodname said:

If you're willing to share, I'd like to hear more about that orgy in Mexico involving sacrificial goats.

( My reply got too long, so I decided to post here, and scare off my f-list. Warning: PG-13 insanity beneathe the cut. )
