I’m not too keen on this idea, simply because I prefer the old-fashioned, three-dimensional kind of meeting.I will say I have scanned some of the online profiles on a sundry of women-seeking-women websites.
If you know anyone who happens to bear a resemblance to Jennifer Connelly, please keep me in mind.
From my personal analysis, I’d have to say lesbian profiles seem to fall into [...] |
| [2006-09-27] Sex-ed should address abuse, healthy relationships |
| Now that I’m all grown up, I tend to forget how awkward and frustrating it was to be a teenager. Yet for all that awkwardness, it was an amazing time of discovery.
One major discovery was the opposite sex. Boy, that was fun, but only when put into a healthy context. What happens when something goes wrong? What happens when there is no healthy context? What happens when teens find themselves in an abusive relationship?
Domestic violence has always been a problem, and one that is easy to ignore. We value privacy in this country, often to the point where we willingly look the other way. “It’s [...] |

| [2006-09-27] Flirting with the art of thinking |
| PHILOSOPHY is making a serious move on the playful art of flirting.
Do flirts have to know what they're up to? How can you prove yourself innocent on a flirting charge? Can you flirt with a robot and where would it get you anyway?

The idea came to her during a romantic dinner in Lisbon.
