Holy fucking shit, some people are just craaaaazy! I feel like I just dodged a bullet!
There's this girl on myspace, see? We're into some of the same music, we have similar views on religion and politics, and she's as cute as a button, so naturally I'm interested, yeah? Well, I expressed my interest a couple years ago, but I was gently rebuked. She told me we could hang out, but that it most likely wouldn't go anywhere. I said okay, I figure it's nice to have friends, right?
Well, for some reason she started to flirt with me a couple weeks ago. I thought, "hmm, okay, let's see where this goes". We start emailing back and forth, her flirtations become a little bolder and then a lot bolder, I start thinking happy thoughts, like maybe somebody out there likes me. So we're getting to know each other, and I send her links to my flickr and photobucket profiles so she can see my pics, my last.fm profile so she can peruse my musical tastes, and a link to this blog on SG.
That's when the shit hit the fan.
She tells me that she really hates porn and that she won't get into a relationship with anyone who is "into porn", that I'm "one of those", and that she won't be around it. I pointed out that I hadn't sent her the link to try and make her look at pictures of naked women, but so that she could read my words and get to know me better. It's not as if I work in the porn industry or anything, SG is just where I keep my blog. (So far as I know, it's pretty difficult to see any nekkidness on SG unless you're a subscriber.)
So this puts me in the position of defending SG and art nude photography and I have to delve into the arguments of art vs porn and all that tiresome yadda yadda.
Today she apologized for the whole mess, says that she shouldn't have flirted with me. I was trying to figure out how to feel about this, and formulating a response. She'd said some insulting things, but I didn't want her to feel bad about flirting, and I know I'm not going to change her opinions on nudity, it's just odd that she would be so progressive on every other front but seems to have some sort of bizarre phobia about anything sexual. I don't know what's at the bottom of that and it's not really my business, anyway, but I want to avoid making it worse so I'm trying to be understanding.
So while I'm mulling over my reply to her, I get a new email... She finally looked at my SG profile and she's definitely not interested in dating me! No fucking way! She's kinda grossed out! All the SGs in my faves are WHORES! With loose vaginae! The whole fucking site is debaucherous by nature! Way too much sexual content!
She was, however, nice enough to point out to me that whores like guys who can take them shopping.
So I just wrote her back:
Some of those girls are actually friends of mine, and I assure you that they do not engage in sexual intercourse in exchange for money. Just because they get paid for artful nude photos does not make them whores, that makes them models. Different thing altogether.
And your shopping comment... still trying to grok that one.
You're... insulting me for being poor? Did I get it right?
How nice.
Do you realize how crazy you sound? Seriously, you should talk to someone...
I ask you, faithful reader: WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE???

I was only in vegas for a few hours before shit hit the fan and my bf Trevor and I walked to the airport at midnight (we rode there with his cousins), slept in the terminal until our flight left at 7am, and sat at the Burbank airport trying to find a ride...
