changelingI want Moroccan Tea-glasses. I wonder where I can buy them in Melbourne?
Still feeling very
asexual. I've always a mild hangup about sex, and considering the emotional shit that surrounds the one time I tried it, it's no wonder I've never really got over it (Werrrl, I've never had the opportunity since anyway). But seeing this affects absolutely 0 people, I'm not particularly concerned.
Occasionally, I'll miss having a high school type relationship, though. I wouldn't mind the odd snog, or to feel like someone is mine, and vice-versa. You know, be couply with. I just don't have any desire for teh sex. (Clearly I am selfish, and do not wish to share my toys.)
My brain is odd.
Tea is good. I can believe in tea.
Saw The Crow for the first time ever (I know. Shut up). I enjoyed it more than I expected to - i.e., at all. I especially liked the quote from Paradise Lost (I looked it up, I didn't recognise it. I haven't read more than a page or so of Milton, though I plan to some time). I'm thinking of making it an icon. I have a Dürer image all lined up and everything.
I feel like I need to see The Crow again some time to get a proper handle on how I feel about it.
Started reading my Penguin Complete Sherlock Holmes last night (because I'd left Going Postal in the car) and was surprised at how readable I found it. I'd forgotten that the first four pages of "A Study in Scarlet" were missing, though. I wouldn't mind getting hold of a copy to read some time.

Me: Hey, brain! What's the opposite of wanting sex?
Brain: Straight?
Me: Mwaha, brain, you crazy foo'.

Date: 2004-12-04 05:03 am (UTC)I have come to this conclusion about myself, too, which is a bit of a bastard when you're a) in a long-term relationship and b) saddled with a reputation for being a ho. People don't believe you. Despite daily opportunity I've not done the beast with two backs in over a year, don't miss it in the slightest.
Eh. Also, The Crow is kinda good. Michael Wincott looks hot despite the scary wig.

Date: 2004-12-04 05:07 am (UTC)Well, I've had issues with sex since forever, so thankfully I have never gained a reputation as a painted jezebel. ;)
Yeah, "kinda good" is what I'm feeling at the moment. There were bits I liked immensely, and bits I was a bit "meh" about, but it was quite enjoyable.

Date: 2004-12-04 05:17 am (UTC)*nods* As I said, I really have to see it again to make up my mind. I finished watching it partly because I kinda felt compelled to. It wasn't as though I wasn't enjoying it, I just wasn't really in the mood. And anyway, with so much buildup, one viewing isn't really enough.

Date: 2004-12-04 05:28 am (UTC)I think it was fairly hammy and OTT, but the original comics were fairly hammy and OTT too (never mind what Lindsay has to say about Jay O'Barr), and for god's sake don't watch any of the sequels. They are dire in the extreme.

Date: 2004-12-04 05:42 am (UTC)*nods* I must admit that the credits were rolling, and I was thinking, "Now I want to see the comics." And there were a couple of moments of stillness that just seemed to scream "Comic!" at me. And I have been duly warned about the sequels.

Date: 2004-12-04 05:45 am (UTC)I also heartily recommend Lazarus Heart by Poppy Z Brite as it's almost certainly the best Crow-related story around, AND has the added bonus of being really fucking scary to boot.

You do have to be in the mood for it, the same goes for the soundtrack. (the first CD I ever bought was that soundtrack, I lent it to someone years ago. Never Seen Again)
And through a hazy cloud of sleeplessness she says...

Do you mind if I steal that sentence and make of it an icon? It is surely the greatest thing I have read in days. I love it. I can believe in that sentence.
I'm probably asexual also. And much like you, have had issues with sex since forever. But to forget about the issues, I skip the uncomfortable-ness and deny everything and thus become asexual.
Can't say it's been fun, or anything.
And I have the strangest reputation...I'm known to spout the most horrifying of suggestive puns, and to vociferously support promiscuity and such things, and yet everyone knows that I refuse to be intimate with anyone and *argh* it's so horrible, all of it, I really really want some tea now....

Date: 2004-12-04 11:26 am (UTC)*points* There's a copy. Not quite the same as a book, but especially if you're just missing part of the one story, should be plenty.
And another asexual nibbling at your toes. Pansexual asexual, at least. It's what I've settled on for the moment.

Date: 2004-12-04 05:47 pm (UTC)Heh, is it just my friends, or is our generation some sort of anti-60s no-sex movement? (Although the Arts student in me wants to analyse this and point to the extreme sexualisation of our culture and wonder if that has something to do with it.)

Date: 2004-12-04 08:41 pm (UTC)I'm hoping I'll fool myself into asexuality one day. You can get t-shirts which say 'Asexuality: It's not just for amoebas'.
I want one.
We have Moroccan tea glasses, but I can't remember where from. Will post an LJ comment when I do remember.
