Yes, in fact, I AM a slut.

[holly_evolving]

I like sex. I like it a lot. I'm willing to have sex with most of my friends. I do have sex with several of them. And we always protect each other. And everyone knows about everyone else. And no one is involved who is involved with someone else that would have a problem with the situation. We're happy and we have fun. I'm a slut. A libertine. A decadent wench. And I'm happy and I'm not hurting anyone. The only way to find out about my sex life is to ask me, to ask someone who knows, or to read my LJ. In other words, in order to find out, you have to WANT to know. I'm not shoving it down the throats of people who don't want to know about it.

So who the fuck cares?

Bad Reputation
(Jett-Laguna-Cordell-Kupersmith)

I don't give a damn 'bout my reputation
You're living in the past it's a new generation
A girl can do what she wants to do and that's
What I'm gonna do
An' I don't give a damn ' bout my bad reputation

Oh no not me

An' I don't give a damn 'bout my reputation
Never said I wanted to improve my station
An' I'm only doin' good
When I'm havin' fun
An' I don't have to please no one
An' I don't give a damn
'Bout my bad reputation

Oh no, not me
Oh no, not me

I don't give a damn
'Bout my reputation
I've never been afraid of any deviation
An' I don't really care
If ya think I'm strange
I ain't gonna change
An' I'm never gonna care
'Bout my bad reputation

Oh no, not me
Oh no, not me

Pedal boys!

An' I don't give a damn
'Bout my reputation
The world's in trouble
There's no communication
An' everyone can say
What they want to say
It never gets better anyway
So why should I care
'Bout a bad reputation anyway
Oh no, not me
Oh no, not me

I don't give a damn 'bout my bad reputation
You're living in the past
It's a new generation
An' I only feel good
When I got no pain
An' that's how I'm gonna stay
An' I don't give a damn
'Bout my bad reputation

Oh no, not me
Oh no, not
Not me, not me

Also--and please understand that I intend no criticism, just commentary--for someone who doesn't care, you sure have a lot to say. I'll buy unbiased...but disinterested?

Too true. Perhaps my own choice of words could do with a tune-up. When I say I don't care, I merely meant to illustrate my lack of attachment to the events presented. I have no vested personal interest in the subject matter involved. Unbiased.

Disinterested? Hardly. I enjoy the presentation of ideas and feelings, the interplay of points of view, the entire conversational process. When I have something to input, I usually do. At length. Exhaustively, much to the chagrin of many I talk with. :) So, where I had some nugget of wisdom culled from my past that applied, I had to offer it. I half-expected you to screen it and not present it, to cut down on the space used in your LJ. Luckily, you also enjoy conversation.

Please, don't take my offering as another attack. Your life should be led as you see fit. I have often noted it's difficult for everyone to see that, and to apply it to what they know of the lives of others. I'm a fairly private person, and a little bit of a loner, so it's easy for me to think analytically about situations. Sometimes, too much so.

The trash-talk of acquaintances is inevitable. Whenever large groups convene... wether in reallife or online, the talk goes around. It's far easier to chat privately with one person to vent a bad thought or opinion, than to toss it up for discussion where it may offend. That leads to miscommunication, gossip, and in some cases what you call libel and slander. Unfortunately, unless that talk effects your quality of life in a way that is easily measurable in the courtroom, it cannot be corrected by the law. This is why I offered my two cents on a way to handle things so they wouldn't occur as they have. An ounce of prevention being worth a pound of cure, and all.

If lies, slander or libel (not sure which covers LJ) do occur, by all means, investigate and set the matters straight. I have no problem with that. I suppose it's my own personal desire to keep such inquiries and matters private that caused me to encourage a further dose of discretion.

I tend to be a creature who avoids drama like the plague. I don't like emotional issues to be drawn out in public. I don't like the he-said/she-said of modern social structures. Whenever something ugly can be avoided, I prefer that path. In some ways, your way is healthier, bringing tough issues into the open. In others, mine saves those involved the pain and confusion of perceived lies and/or slander.

All a big crap shoot, really. There is no answer, no single way to live and handle relationships. No owner's manual. So... I hope everything works out for the best with you, and hope you'll continue to let me monkey-chatter when the muse moves me.

PS... free speech still works. Opie and Anthony started in Boston, where I grew up, and they were fired from there for slander, announcing on air that the mayor was dead. Ironic you choose that example for your rebuttal of free speech being curtailed by Dubya. I feel shock jocks are protected by the free speech amendments, but only whenn they are actually SAYING something. Gratuitous jabber for entertainment sake is also protected, but there are lines of decency and appropriate behavior that should be observed when something is presented for public consumption. Also, a business, like a radio station, should also be protected from it's employees by being allowed to correct and even fire it's jocks if they go outside the bounds set for them by law and company policy.

I'm not sure where I stand on what counts as "too far" when it comes to free speech. After all, there are other stations on the radio. I was never an O&A fan--I found their material offensive. But I was a big fan of how much they pissed off the FCC.

I don't take your posts as an attack. I think you're more intelligent than most of the people I read, and you help me develop my own thoughts, for which I'm really grateful. I'm glad I make you do the same once in a while. "Now the teacher has become the student."

I completely understand where you're coming from about discretion, and I practise it in my own way. In some ways I'm really private. I mean, how many people know who I'm really talking about anymore? Or what I'm really saying?

I've noticed that the type of people who don't socialize on a big scale tend to be more analytical. I love to constantly be surrounded by friends, and I don't spend a lot of time analyzing as a result...I even like to be a bit of a headache to those who try to analyze me. (~Sorry Sully!~)

As for your monkey-babble, it's welcome here anytime. And I doubt I'll cut it, as I wouldn't want to garble your message.

Oh, and we still have to get together for some cat steaks and blush wine.
