Blood, sex and rhetoric

If you know me in real life, that's cool. There's nothing here I mind you seeing, but if you look around enthusiastically enough, you may get squicked, and it'll be your own darn fault.

The username is from Diana Wynne Jones' book The Spellcoats, which I heartily recommend.

The username has changed! I am still me! The curious can find an explanation of where '[info]scien' came from in this post.

Great to talk to you and hear your comments.

I'm also recently into menstrual cups, I love my DivaCup. They are a great invention.

Keep being a free and independant spirit!

I like you, you sound like me... that didn't sound self absorbed at ALL...
Anyway, saw you on bad_sex and menstrual_cups. This journal is my second journal also that the regular friends don't know about, for they too would freak out.
Anyway, just wanted to say Hi...

[info]scien

February 18 2006, 20:10:46 UTC 6 years ago

Thanks :) I don't remember seeing you around, possibly you don't comment much? or possibly it's my terrible memory...

Your journal's cute, btw :)

I see your comments a lot in [info]sextips. And I know you see mine. So I thought I'd say Hi, and that I think you're cool.

May 13 2006, 19:02:12 UTC 6 years ago

Yay thanks! and of course I do, I always like yours. Short and sweet. Friends! I have links to the rest of my life in a locked post :)

Hi. :) I just "friended" you because ever since I've been on LJ I've thought your posts in the communities have been very insightful and circumspect. Hope you don't mind.

June 24 2006, 09:43:41 UTC 5 years ago

Thanks so much :) I have friended you back so you can see the links to my personal website and stuff, but I don't journal here.

Thanks for your comment on my journal. Took me a while to see it (I screen because of creepy exes), but it's nice to get the support. :)

My pleasure. Should you wish to prod them again, you'll have my support (although probably silently, so as not to detract from your point).

I friended you indirectly via [info]tisiphone. One of those, "Hmm, that was an interesting post, let's see what else she has to say," *delve*

(When will OED recognise "friend" as a verb?)

Hello. Found your comments interesting. How is oxford today?

[info]scien

October 22 2006, 17:56:37 UTC 5 years ago

Today today? rainy and muddly and puddly and mank. In general though, it's... slightly less wet, and rather more essay-filled.

I don't recognise your screen name - how'd you end up here? You don't look like a real life Oxford person...

Sex AND blood?

Enquiring minds want to know if your journal is potentially as interesting as I imagine it being.

[info]scien

January 19 2007, 14:34:03 UTC 5 years ago

Re: Sex AND blood?

My journal is pretty much empty I'm afraid. Certainly no chronicles of blood and sex, just a couple of posts about me.

Interesting stuff goes on in communities - I'm ridiculously active in nearly all of the ones in my profile.

Hey, you replied to my post on VP.
I live in the town when I'm home for the holidays (I'm at uni in a Northern town which is normally applied to by those who also apply for Oxbridge!), so am very, very unlikely to know who you are. Indeed, if you don't recognise me from my user pics and journal, then you're not going to know who I am anyway. Even friends I know in real life don't know it's me.
Anyway, where did you get your icon from? It's cool

[info]scien

March 4 2007, 17:52:40 UTC 5 years ago

Hah, I'm going to guess... Durham? they rejected me. *pouts*

Nope, don't recognise you. To be honest even if you'd been in Oxford Uni I'd be quite unlikely to recognise you!

My icon is of Death from Neil Gaiman's Sandman comics. I iconed it myself, but the picture's not mine originally.

Hi. I'm on sextips (along with a few other... gabiziljilion other communities) and I found your non-BDSM checklist on this post: http://community.livejournal.com/sextips/7832294.html

and I was wondering if I could have use of it? I sometimes work as the world's most unofficial sex therapist, (not trained or anything... I help friends in need, let's put it that way) and I'm considering writing a book about... well, women having good sex. there are books on the subject, but they're all... flowery, is the only way I can put it. And they don't really give you an idea on how to relate to men. Or are specific enough about enough topics for me. (They'll talk about positioning but not positioning for anal, for instance). Don't get me wrong, it's not about relationships... I couldn't write a paragraph about how to do those well.

Anyway, I was looking randomly through the memories, and I thought this would be a fantastic tool! So many women and men get STUCK at the communication part, what they want, what they don't want, what they're willing to try.

I'm on cough syrup and can't sleep and so this is a really babbly comment and I'm sorry. :D

[info]scien

April 13 2007, 12:36:04 UTC 5 years ago

I'm not sure what you mean by 'make use of it', but I think the answer is absolutely, have at it! Use it, copy it, change it, pass it on, the more people it reaches the happier I am. Just please link back to the original entry if you put your list somewhere else.

Unless you meant that you want to include it in your book, in which case ooo, I'm really flattered, but since there's profit making involved I shall have to ask [info]imgomez what he thinks.

I've also got another post on communication if you can make use of that. Same disclaimers apply.

There are actually a few really great books on sex (technique and/or relationships) out there, but one more can't hurt! Good luck, and let me know how everything goes.

Zomg, a Londoner! Absolutely.

But just so you know I'm not poly. I just hang around [info]polyamory because it's occasionally interesting. There's also basically nothing in my journal itself.

cuppies.

hiya. you responded to a post i made in menstrual_cups a while back. october, actually, so basically a billion years ago.
i was asking if anyone lived in oxford, so i could find some contacts for when i start seriously researching... well, it's about that time. during trinity term, i'm going to do a research project about cup use in the uk or maybe even specifically at the university.
are you still willing to help me out and maybe answer a few questions? you seem like a very helpful sort of person, from all of the communities and such you contribute to.
at this point i basically need someone to assist in my brainstorming process, mostly listening to me talk to myself and occasionally chime in with a suggestion. we could do this over lj, and maybe later meet up somewhere in town? i will offer coffee in exchange for your perspective.

Hi, I'd like to join [info]dot_sex_snark but I don't know any other way to contact the mods than commenting. I was already declined although I have my age shown on my profile and I'm a member of other snark/sex communities. Could you accept me?

hey there! i was hoping to be allowed into [info]dot_sex_snark. i guess i'll just stick my spiel here instead of emailing?

i'm alyssa. i'm pansexual & very much into porn and sex toys (i actually review sex toys on edenfantasys.com; it's the sweetest deal ever). i'm also very much into the internet, and i spend far too much time on it. it's kinda hard to prove sense of humor over the internet, but uhh, i have one, especially about sex, since sex is so hilarious in and of itself. let's see... oh, i'm a gender studies minor, and my perception of the world has now been ruined by the knowledge of fucked up gender roles/expectations/assumptions. unrelated to sex, but i'm also a hanson fan, and having to defend hanson has definitely influenced my snarky 'tude. that's about it!
