Interesting. I think there is something inherent in homoeroticism that goes beyond just "sex". A sense of the "comrade", perhaps.

Then again I have this weird idea for a module involving homoerotic male Drow. I have been talking to Allen, LPM and Urizen waaaaaaaaaay too much.Oh this, I have to hear/read.
*sits back and awaits*
In my online pbp, Riese, played by fake healer, was a gay wizard, so I was always kinda searching for an interesting plot hook along those lines.
Being heterosexual, I found it doubly hard for some reason, since I really cannot honestly say I feel that I understand a homosexual p.o.v. enough to honestly portray anything approaching a realistic story.This, however, motivated me more, because it's the pinnacle of fulfilment when one pulls off the impossible.
One of the things I came up with, though, was along the lines of a "good Driz'zt escaper" drow; his motivation to leave the drow was that he was gay, and the matriarchy really frowns on males being gay.
Their take, I surmised, is "sex is the rightful property of the drowess, and must be given to the drowess at her demand," and, ergo, males keeping this sacred property to themselves was the worst form of disrespectful thievery imaginable. You could get turned into a drider or worse.
Along those lines, though, drowesses can partake in as much homoerotic behavior as they like. It's not "homosexuality" that is the problem per se, it is the bartering of sexual favor where no drowesses are involved.
So, he found that on the surface world, it's not quite as big a deal as it is in Erelhei Cinlu. Being a drow, however.....that's still a hassle.

Also, I am super glad the car is an automatic because there is no way I could have shifted.
Also, I am not to pleased about the whole living on the third floor with no elevator thing.
Oh, poor thing. :/
But you could look at it as an excuse for PMG to carry you upstairs every night. ;)
It's so good to see you up and about and laughing! Please get well soon.

My mother is not-so-slowly driving me crazy. She called me up to complain about the SCRATCHES I LEFT ON THE HOOD OF HER CAR WHILE I WAS DIGGING IT OUT OF THE SNOW. Apparently, it DESTROYED the finish of the car, which will lead to rust that will DESTROY THE CAR ENTIRELY.
*sigh*
Car's don't heal themselves, you know!
...and since my D&D group won't come over today, just over a little ice...I'm going to drink the root beer I bought myself. So there.

That sucks. Sorry about the frustration. I hate when objects do not work for me the way that they should and I cannot do fix it, so I understand.

Then again I hate pilsner to start with. I pretty much only drink stout on those rare occasions I drink beer.
It's not really beer that's the trouble. Alcohol really fraks with my ADHD medication so I rarely indulge.

A postie, a toastie
Deconstruction of the mosty
Power over words
Rather than by them
Exercised Rightly
Confucius hears you
And weeps nightly
A colonial mimic you say?
Well certainly po-mo is gay
Unless you care about words and truth
But when power's your friend
No one dares ask for proof!
So I take my nightly leave with this:
'pon post-modernisms I piss.
