“I think if you’re cuddling with someone and they’re cross dressing, you can become lovers, it can become an affair. But it doesn’t start there.”

- @S___Elliott, who adds, “You can quote me on that. That’s a philosophy for life.”

“What would be between us if I could just present my body as it craved being captured? I don’t need to be fucked. I just want to be photographed.”

- Do I need to give it a name now?

“Every new pleasure takes up within a passing one, but never quite completely. There is always a margin where the present moment leaves space for desire.”

“… an honored mistress whose own vision of sex is so boundless that she can’t help but be demanding. She doesn’t wish to be… She just can’t, once provoked, keep from running over her own banks.”

- A bit more from where that came from.

“A proffering, I-love-you is in the side of Expenditure: they spend the word. Those who seek the proffering of the word (lyric poets, liars, wanderers) …spend the word, as if it were impertinent (base) that it be recovered somewhere, they are at the extreme limit of language, where language itself recognizes it is without backing or guarantee, working without a net.”

- Roland Barthes, “A lover’s discourse” (shared with you as I recieved it, slightly intoxicated, in half-light, in the dark)

katstories:

After four years of stripping, I was an expert on the kind of songs that really get the d-bag demographic all pumped up at the club. They always act the way that people who don’t know how to download songs act when their favorite top 40 hit comes on the radio, like it’s a miracle. The mix consisted of such douche-friendly hits as, “Ridin’ Dirty” by Chamillionaire, “Hypnotize” by Notorious B.I.G., the 50 Cent/NIN “Closer” remix, “Baby I got your money” by ODB and “Check Yo Self” by Ice Cube. I threw in a few rock songs like “Big Balls” and “TNT” by AC/DC for variety. It’s not to say that these are strictly douche songs, but they are at least good common turf for me and the douches because I don’t do Tool.

“The way a woman dreaming still parts her legs at the arrival of a lover’s hand in the night as they lay together: I want to be shot that unconsciously.”
