I love long talks and debates. I enjoy music, food, cooking, public radio, board games, and coffee. I love [old] dresses, jewelry, farmer's markets, and cats.

I blog so that my family and friends have a better idea about what I'm thinking from day to day.

Look, I’m no longer a young male, but I used to be one, and let me self-report: being perpetually aroused is part and parcel of being in your middle teens. Anything and everything can arouse you, from a pretty girl to a stiff breeze to chewing gum. Part of growing up and maturing is learning how to turn off that arousal, how to ignore it and channel it and use it appropriately. Incidentally, though I’ve never been a young female, my memories tend to indicate that they, too, spend a good chunk of their middle teen years perpetually aroused. They just don’t act on it because if they do, they’re part of “America’s slut culture.” Hooray for patriarchy!
