“We do not grow absolutely, chronologically. We grow sometimes in one dimension, and not in another; unevenly. We grow partially. We are relative. We are mature in one realm, childish in another. The past, present, and future mingle and pull us backward, forward, or fix us in the present. We are made up of layers, cells, constellations.”
—Anaïs Nin (via julie911)

“I think that pleasure is a rebellion––and I don’t just mean sexual pleasure––I need to find pleasure in every way I can. I’m finding it right now in the way the light is filtering in my window through these fucking curtains.”

Lawmakers call state sex-ed site ‘disgusting’ →
boston.com
Critics in the Massachusetts Legislature have complained that a sexual education website aimed at teenagers had graphic and “disgusting’’ descriptions of sex acts and downplayed the risks of abortion.
Reblogged, if only for the line:
“I tell them, if you want to do it up the butt, that’s cool with me, but think about protecting yourself from STI’s and HIV.”
I wonder if they were really striving to shoehorn in the internal rhyme there, but at any rate, you go, Fictional Teen Maria!
But I guess I have more thoughts about it… Naturally, I enjoy that a bunch of stuffy, White (at least the two mentioned) lawmakers are being rubbed the wrong way by a site with goofy vector images and PG-13 words. But is the language really that disgusting, Representatives Poirier and Lombardo?
I never had an official “The Talk,” you know?
If there had been a site like this when I was younger, I probably wouldn’t have wasted time by furrowing my brow in a vain attempt to construct the Big Picture of Sex [insert spotlights and angelic chorus] through a string of nebulous definitions from a long out-of-date edition of Webster’s Third New International Dictionary.

Bonds and Bondage by Vladimir Nabokov
(Lolita)
Dolores Haze is a young woman trying to outrun a terrible family secret, but the reappearance of an old flame makes her feel like the naughty schoolgirl she once was. Mr. H is a mysterious, older man with a distinguished academic career…whose appetite for knowledge is only surpassed by his appetite for her body. He forces her to confront the intensity of that hot summer spent together…as outlaws and as lovers. In recalling their journey of lust and manipulation, she unravels a twisted secret that neither of them are ready to face. Before long, Dolores will have Mr. H on his knees…and doing a lot more than begging for forgiveness.
“Fairy tales since the beginning of recorded time, and perhaps earlier, have been a means to conquer the terrors of mankind through metaphor.”

Today, at work, my kids were talking about their favorite singers
One of them was like “I wanna marry Katy Perry!”
and I said “Oh, sorry kid but she’s already married.”
then he said “Fine, I’ll marry Justin Beiber”
the other kids were like “NOOO YOU CAN’T MARRY HIM!”
I thought they were going to say something along the lines of “Justin Beiber is a boy, and boys and boys don’t go together.” Instead they said “He and Selena are getting married!!”
lol gotta love kids<3

Sailor Failures: Reblog if you think that the Sailor Moon Dub and Subs are basically two different shows →
sailorfailures.tumblr.com
and you like both of them.
I’m a fan of a show with a main character who’s basically an idiot and a valley girl, with one friend who’s a big nerd, one who’s a bitch and wants to take the main role, one who’s a huge tomboy and likes to fight and then the “older sister” type who tries her hardest…
