here's someone who says it like it is

Just a link tonight. An excellent article that perfectly sums up my present outlook on the world in general and the USA in particular. Not an uplifting vision by any stretch, but sometimes brutal honesty is refreshing. And I find the vicious sarcasm refreshing too.

Long article, I know, but totally worth it - even if it is, to some extent, stating the obvious. That's precisely the kind of reading material that keeps me awake all those long hours at work.;) (Reading porny fanfic at the office might be too risky, but anything else is fair game, as far as I am concerned - especially if it prevents me from nodding off while staring at the database...:P)

I'm doing 'virtual' sex on Skype with an ex-boyfriend (21 years ago, at the time I was 17 and he was 14!!!)

You are an adventurous girl, to say the least.;P

Unlike you, I loath being on my own (I need a relationship like HELL!!).

Well, it doesn't seem like you're in any danger of being left on your own. Gorgeous Italian women are always in high demand.:D

I'm not in the slash world anymore (as you might have noticed...;)), but I do often miss it! and miss the wonderful people I met through it.

You are being missed as well.:( But people have different priorities at different times in their lives. I hope the teaching course gives you the kind of professional fulfillment you want. And who knows... maybe you'll come back to the slash world at some point?... (I'm pretty sure I'll still be here years from now, so take your time, LOL)
