Three separate comments to three separate entries while talking to three separate people who don't even know each other, but they all summarise my recent thought process quite well. I'm sorry I haven't really had any substantive updates lately. All I do is school work and converse with my cats and I'm not sure if you guys are really that interested in that.

Comment the first:

(on sex)

"I'm not waiting for someone special. Yeah, I'd love it if my first time was all candles and rose petals but most likely it's just going to be this kind of uncoordinated thing. I'm not a virgin because I'm waiting for marriage or because I'm waiting for The One. I'm a virgin because the only time sex has come up has been when the person I was with did not want to use a condom! I'm sorry, but I don't want to get pregnant. I don't even like kids. So unless you're going to slap a rubber on, my legs are fucking crossed.

Nowadays, everyone is just so blase about sex and I'd like to think I've got a modern mindset about it. But you know, I'm informed. It just takes once and I'm not going to push my luck. It doesn't mean I don't have a sex drive. And until I do find someone that I want to have sex with who will put a condom on for me, I'll satisfy my own needs thank you very much."


Comment the second:

(on Facebook)

"Honestly, I'm seriously considering just no longer getting on Facebook. I unfriended a bunch of people who did a similar thing to me as what happened between you and your (ex)friends. And now they are all starting to friend me back saying, "I've been thinking about. I've been meaning to call." Many of them live within five minutes of me--walking. And yet they haven't contacted me in 2.5 years. I'm sick of constantly having to hit ignore. Even that is too much energy, considering what/how little they've put towards me. And now they all want to connect.

I have three friends that are Facebook only friends because they do not have accounts elsewhere. They are the only reason I have yet to flat out delete my account. So I think I'll change my privacy settings, alter my other accounts so they don't update Facebook, and mostly call it quits. Other than those three, everyone else is on LJ or Tumblr. Those friends are the ones I talk to; the ones that have been there for me when I've needed someone. Not all of these people who have "been thinking about" me."

[Yes, this means that I will no longer be sending my Twitter and Tumblr updates there. If you'd like, you can follow me there, and if there is something especially thought-provoking from either, I'll try to post it here. For the most part however, those two are mostly mindless though.)


Comment the third:

(on why I love Texas, mostly Houston. Sorry for the caps. It's what I default to for OOC stuff in my RP)

"YEP :D A QUARTER OF THE 20 LARGEST CITIES IN THE US BY POPULATION ARE IN TEXAS. WE REPRESENT WHAT IT MEANS TO LIVE IN THE SOUTH, BUT WE'RE NOT WHOLLY ENCASED IN THE ACTUAL LIFESTYLE. IF I HAD THE FINANCIAL MEANS, I COULD SEE A DIFFERENT MUSICAL/THEATRE PERFORMANCE EACH NIGHT BUT I STILL KNOW PEOPLE WHO LIVE ON FARMS AND RAISE ANIMALS TO FEED THEMSELVES. I CAN HOP ON THE HIGHWAY AND VISIT VINTAGE SHOPS OR A GIANT MALL, GO TO A PRIDE PARADE WITHOUT GETTING CURSED AT, AND HAVE TEN STARBUCKS WITHIN REASONABLE DRIVING DISTANCE BUT OUR BIGGEST EVENT IS STILL THE RODEO. I LOVE IT HERE."
