How do you pick friends? What does LJ mean to you? Name your five favorite musical artists Do you think it strange for a 22 year old man to have 3 sex partners in a lifetime?
friends: i pick them by who i spark with. who makes me feel safe and comfortable and like i wanna go a little crazy with. someone who i can hust talk and talk and then maybe be quiet and just hang out with. it's not totally tangible - but i know when the connection is there.
LJ: means a place to remember who i am and who i want to be. to keep writing and to reach out to people and not be afraid of connections or asking for help, or offering help and sharing art and information.
music: this changes every time i make a list... BUT.patti smith, tom waits, frente, leonard cohen, pj harvey
22 yr old: not at all. i know a lot of people whose # of sexy people are low. sometimes its late bloomer. sometimes its serial monogamy. sometimes its just what it is.
- What % of your lj friends have you met? - What album would we be most surprised to find in your collection? - Have you ever met a Zoroastrian? - Favorite online sex shop? - In your opinion, what's more important in love: passion or compassion? - If LiveJournal (and other blog sites) were to disappear tomorrow, how would it affect you?
album: either regina, stacy q or lisa lisa and cult jam. all cassettes i still have from the 80s
i have no idea what zoroastrian is.
sex shop: no answer here. i have good vibes, mr s. and stormy leater as regular real life stores so i don't really buy toys online
love: well passion starts everything, compassion keeps it going
LJ: i would prolly lose touch with a bunch of friends and become less involved with other friends, which would make me sad. big gaping social wound. and i would start using up more paper journals again.
Zoroastrianism is an ancient Persian religion which still has some adherents today. Conductor Zubin Mehta was Zoroastrian. Freddie Mercury was born to Zoroastrian parents.
(from Wikipedia:) Principles of modern-day Zoroastrianism include equality of all, irrespective of gender, race, or religion. Respect and kindness towards all living things. Condemnation of the oppression of human beings, cruelty against animals and sacrifice of animals. Cleanliness of the environment. Nature is central to the practice of Zoroastrianism. Hard work and charity. Loyalty and faithfulness to "family, settlement, tribe, and country."
I don't know any either, but I couldn't come up with a religion question.
Only have two questions so far (but the caffeine hasn't kicked in yet):
What's your opinion on polyamory vs monogamy (short-term serial or otherwise) a) in general, and b) for yourself and loved-ones (partnered or otherwise)?
What, to you, constitutes faith in a religious sense?
for me personally. poly does't work. and not because of jealousy or trust issues, but its more about being honest with my heart. i was in a poly relationship for 6.5 years. and it worked. then i met someone that made me see, i was only poly because i wasn't totally happy. because i still was looking for that one person. that felt like such a betrayal, such hypocrisy and i hadn't even realized it was what i was doing. until it happened. so i don't do poly anymore. that said, for other people, i think it takes an immense amount of time and patience and love and compassion to make poly work. and it takes the same for monogamy. there are a different set of struggles with both. i don't think one way is better, though i think mongamy is easier because it is more culturally and socially supported.
faith: believing in something that makes you feel that there is hope. joy. good in the world. i have faith in trees. seriously. trees, woods, give me the sense that the world can be a good and honest and loving place. that's my church.
