10 23 pm pdt [ your sexual personality ]

I clicked on someone's link to an article which would "reveal your sexual personality." There were three personalities you could have: visual, auditory, or tactile. I didn't need to read the article or take the quiz. I am an auditory lover -- whisper in my ear and let me hear you groan. Matthew is a half and half split between visual and tactile -- he equally prefers to see my facial expression or feel my nails claw at his back. If I touch his neck he melts. If I take off my top, he gropes. I just want to hear him say beautiful sweet nothings.

People-watching has it's joys. I have a natural curiosity about how other people live their lives, but I can only watch a few minutes before words take control, and I am writing stories in my head or sharing stories with my viewing companion. People-watching is fun, but I much prefer eavesdropping.

Snippets of conversation caught in the supermarket, while walking down the street, in restaurants. Every day, when I can make the narritive in my head stop for a moment, I absorb the dialog of strangers. Sometimes I write bits down or share them with friends; more often I enjoy them as fleeting slices of life. My favortie bit I caught this month occurred in a breakfast shop. As we waited for our food to be prepared, I listened to one man explain in detail to another man why he was uncomfortable with the other man. A long litany over homefriens and eggs which I was privy to just by tilting my head. Each of us in our own spinning universes...

[ 3 years: ]

three years ago today: I didn't write because my aunt and uncle were visiting from Florida.

two years ago today: I bit my nails until I was about sixteen and a half.

one year ago today: Mmmmm, my beautiful bed is calling to me. I am so happy to be spending the night at home. My flannel sheets are my best friend.
