Spinning Compass Network

Is it wrong to want someone to call me up and just talk dirty to me? It's late, I can't sleep, and I need something to chase away his ghost.

I spent a good part of today in the library. I found a fascinating book that spoke of all the things that women have done in this age we find ourselves in.

They're exciting!

One woman found a cure for a terrible disease. Another women flew into the stars! Women are doctors and leaders and scientists and athletes and anything they want to be.

Why did my father tell me none of this?

I had a visit from Amelia yesterday. The changes won't be going away.

My daughter was never so outspoken when she lived in Dol Amroth. She was quiet and respectful. But things change I suppose and I shouldn't fault her for it anymore than I fault the winter for rain.

She has a point, and that is my point here. I have never found relations to be an issue worth discussing in open places. It has always been my policy that if you want to bed a man or woman then you ought to find a willing partner for exactly that.

Such as we have done.

And without issue.

Once you satisfy the basic need then you might actually get things done. But I suppose that is also the nature of children, to be obsessed with the act itself. It must be a novel idea still for so many young minds.

I came across a townhouse today that would fit us all quite comfortably and then some. I've taken pictures for you, Bridget, but Calleigh would you like to walk through it?

There is more to life than sex.

Let me repeat. There is more to life than sex.

There are hugs and smiles and horses and rainstorms and flowers and summer breezes and books and music and sunrises on the Eastfold and stars in the sky and laughter and tears and kittens and puppies and stories to hear and clothes to wear and a thousand different foods and...life to be lived with your clothes on.

What is so special about sex? Why does it get so much more attention than any of these other things? And why must people post so much about it? Go have sex, or pleasure yourself if you must. But talking about it constantly makes people sound desperate! It is just another thing that we can do with our bodies. But hugs are beautiful, too. Braiding someone's hair. Running. Swimming. Riding horses. All these things are wonderful too.

I just don't understand why every other thing I read is about sex.

I mean...shouldn't we be more concerned about the fact that this island has no leader, no one to turn to, no emergency services...than we are about who's sleeping with whom?

I think Éomer should lead here.
