My boyfriend of about a year broke up with me, and I have to say -- after an initial period of wanting to shove my old Hello Kitty pencils up his disloyal boxers -- I am beginning to see some advantage to this. He will, of course, come crawling back (they all do) and I will have to pleasure of telling him about all the incredibly nasty and satisfying hip-banging I am involved with .... even if I'm not. I can now let me eyes roam freely across the wide array of men (and women, I have to admit) and lick my lips. I'm only 26, still kinda cute, and gosh, a friendly and open-minded girl. Let me slip into my skin-tight jeggings and low-cut best from Express and let the hunt begin.

I hope to gave a few scalps before the Ex-Boyfriend Now Known As Chithead gives me a call.  Not that I am being petty or shallow or anything .... but I think it will be a lot of fun no matter how you look at it.

As many of you know, my 19-year-old brother moved into the house where I am baby-sitting, mostly at the insistence of our parents, who were probably determined to get him out of the house.

At first I dreaded it, figuring he would be some kind of major slob and pain in the keister, but he's turning out to be a neat, considerate and actually pleasant roommate. He's growing up, I suppose, something I didn't see coming.  So, little  by little we have spent a bit more time hanging out.  When my BF or his GFs are not available,  sometimes Zach and I will catch a movie together or hit the mall (it's nice to get a male perspective on certain kinds of purchases).

All very nice, but sometimes people assume that we're like, a couple. Clerks have said things like "You are so cute together," or "Your boyfriend is really great-looking" or even "How long have you two been married?" AAARRRGHHHH!!!

What the feck is wrong with you people? Is it not possible for a male and female to associate together without everyone thinking .... you know .... He's just my brother.  We're in California, not in the hills of Arkansas (no offense to y'all near Little Rock), for cryin' out loud!  I feel like I should wear a T-shirt that says "He's not mine."  I'd hate to scare off any possible prospects in case my current BF doesn't make it (relationship-wise) into 2013. A really snug T-shirt ..... ;)

The much-feared move has happened, and I am scratching my head. My sloppy, rude, self-centered vulgar horn dog brother moved into my house on Saturday, and he has been an absolute angel. His room is spotless; he is doing all his own dishes. He even vacuumed the rug after we spilled some potato chip fragments Sunday. He is pleasant and supportive. This has got to be a trick. He must be planning something. Either that, or aliens have kidnapped Little Bro and replaced him with some kind of android. I will keep a wary eye on this!!!

Came across a very nice lady who was upset -- or claimed she was -- about "inappropriate content" on EP. I had to smile. I always get a kick out of people who devote themselves to seeking out the sins of others. Sometimes .... sometimes .... it says a lot about the seeker. I knew an old retired Baptist preacher who used to say "if you want to know someone's secret vice, listen to what they complain about."  Not my clergyman (I'm Jewish), but I always thought that was pretty good wisdom, even for a Gentile.

A thing like Experience Project is bound to be full of "inappropriate" stuff. That's the nature of something anonymous like this. On top of that, most of the "offensive" stuff is probably just fantasy anyway. I think fantasy is a healthy way to deal with really dumb ideas without actually doing them. My BF fantasizes about being some kind of Navy SEAL stud, but we both know he'd never make it. He imagines himself shooting many people ("Call of Duty" is his addiction) but I don't think he would ever shoot anybody. It's just for fun, or shock value.

If you look back at history, you'll find that that a lot of what used to be considered "inappropriate" or "offensive" is now pretty accepted. My Dad says that interracial marriage, homosexuality and even being an unwed mother were taboo and frowned upon. Now they're everywhere. I'm not saying that NOTHING is offensive -- I suppose there may be a group some day called "I Eat Poop" -- but you want to be careful judging others. Personally, I find Newt Gingrich more offensive than just about anything, but that's another story for another time.
