Miss Girlie comes back big with a questionnaire on rape fantasies.

Man, 49

2. Do you identify yourself most as Straight? Gay/Lesbian? Bisexual?
Straight

About 90% the rapist. Sometimes I imagine myself as a sexy, young woman and being the victim, or as one who purposefully places herself in a position to be raped.

Fuck, she's here early. Kay. I was hoping she wouldn't be here until five or some nice late hour like that. I need to take care of my shower, not to mention the grocery list I still have to finish. Maybe they will go back out and do some shopping or go to a movie, if any break can come my way.

I see now that I made a mistake about incorporating my book-blogging into my hardcover journals. I think I was seduced by the idea of having at hand a practically inexhaustible amount of material with which to fill up my little books, and I now appreciate that this should not be a consideration at all. It is not too costly a lesson, as I have only done so much of that material.

This is not to say that I will not include quotations from my favorite novels, but they must transcend the plot and the little universe that the story creates. I should be almost as selective as I am when it comes to quoting from the movies I watch

As for the longer journal entries and poems, I think they’re fine. The poems should really hit home for me, though. For instance, Eliot’s "La Figlia che Piange", or the one about talking of Michelangelo, read wonderfully, and I enjoy them, but I cannot meaningfully relate to them. I also need to maintain some discipline over the journal entries. Since this material is directly personal and very meaningful, I have more freedom in bringing the entries into my little books, but I should work to hone them down to their most serviceable parts. I do not need to follow the old ‘80 words’ rule, but I should perhaps try to keep to it, giving way only when I feel deeply compelled to.
