LECHERY: it's a tough job, but someone's got to do it.

[dendritejungle]

So someone on my f-list had a shitty experience this week, and it reminded me how many of us women - beautiful women, dammit - are genuinely insecure about our appearance and how fucking angry that makes me. (Sorry guys: I know many of you are insecure as well, but I'm focusing on us girls for the moment

*forks*

[dendritejungle]

Hee! You're on!

*grabs a kitchen knife, holds it like a fencing sabre*

Engarde!

[kashmir1]

DUDE! HEE!

*blushes*

YOU ARE TOO SWEET OMG. *LOVES*

ALSO? You're in TO? How did I not know this? I was just in Niagara Falls (well for like, an hour but whatever) back in March after visiting arabella_hope and kueble. I SO COULD'VE COME AND SEEN YOU.

Although I am planning on going back up that way sometime this summer.

*leers and gropes*

[arabella_hope]

WHO INVITED YOU BACK OMG?

*gropes*

come now, come back!!!

[kashmir1]

*CRIES*

YOU DUN WANT ME?

[dendritejungle]

\o/ YAY, I'm so glad you liked! *beams happily*

It was a lot of fun to do, and ALL TRUE. SO THERE.

AAAAH, YOU WERE SO CLOSE! *pouts* I totally would have gone down to Niagara Falls to have wild passionate sex with you see you!

I read about the trip and was sad because it sounded like you were all having so much fun, and I still hadn't met any local fen to hang out with. But now that I've sucked krakkernuts and jumila into the fandom, life is good.

But yes, you must come back for a visit! Dooooo eeeet! There's a nice warm bed here waiting for you, heh heh heh...*

*and also a very comfy spare bed, if you develop a sudden inexplicable "headache." NOT THAT THAT WOULD HAPPEN, I'M SURE. ;)

*leers and gropes right back atcha*

One of the absolute best things about my group (see www.unholyarmy.com for info) is the truly plentiful amount of cheerful lechery that takes place every time we meet. Everybody feels sexy, and it's because everybody IS, dammit, and everybody else lets them know it. Women feeling sexy ARE sexy. If they happen to be ohidunno kneeling in front of a greaser drag king with several inches of latex stuffed in their mouths, or hey how about the actual drag king himself, that only makes it hotter.

Kudos to you for introducing me to cheerful lechery - you are the originator of the practice for me - and kudos to your lovely, radiant friend who let her pics be spammed.

And, no, I have no idea to whom you are referring in that bit about university roommates. None. It's all a blur. I was drugged. Umm, elves made me do it. I'll go back to work now.

[dendritejungle]

*tackles you happily, totally gropes you*

The Unholy Army does indeed sound like awesomeness itself, and I have thought so many times over the last few years. *longs*

Drugged, eh? It wouldn't have been by POT COOKIES by any chance, would it? ;P

P.S.: the cheerful lechery was my pleasure. Heh. *loves you*

[themoderatrix]

Pot cookies? Umm, no. I seem to recall that was YOUR little misstep. And, if you're not careful, I will recount that sordid little tale to your newfound fan-friends, and THEN what will they think of you?

[dendritejungle]

Oh yeah. And WHOSE cookies had I so innocently partaken of? Hmmm? ;p

Actually, my f-list would probably just be amused, and I'm okay with that. :) I feel like I walk this line between my natural inclination to tell everyone everything, and trying not to subject people to TMI. But yeah, my long sordid drug-use history - being neither long, nor sordid, nor, in fact, as much of a "history" as an "accidental incident" - is pretty safe.

P.S. Is that a new tattoo, next to your old fly? Or were you having fun with Photoshop?

[audreyovisual]

Hey, I'm all in favour of cheerful lechery! Keep up the good work.

And the pics? Yum.

*ahem*

I mean "why, what a lovely young woman!"

[dendritejungle]

Hee! :) Thank you, my dear.

And your turn is coming, you know. ONE DAY, when you no longer work in the same office as me least expect it. ONE DAY.

;P

[audreyovisual]

Now, THERE'S an offer! It looks like I may need to get in line now, though. Looks like you're going to be busy :). I'll bring a book.

[fairylane]

That's awesome! I would give you an A+ in positive lechery. Even though I'm in a relationship I'm still completely insecure about my appearance (you know, after a point, it's like, you're my significant other, you have to say I'm pretty, like a parent is supposed to say that anything their child does is wonderful). A little positive lechery from friends can be a very good thing.

[dendritejungle]

God, hon, I thought I'd replied to this and was rather surprised when scrolling by to discover that it looks like it never posted - my apologies!

My responose basically said, "Yay and thank you!" and also that you raise a very good point: that even in a relationship (or from good friends, for that matter - trust me) it becomes all too easy to rationalize their compliments. Too true.
