Everyone has something in her or his life that hurts, scares, angers, or otherwise challenges her or him. You are no more challenged (or less blessed) than the next person. We are all in this cycle of challenge/blessing together.

You Got Questions. I Got Answers.
Sep. 22nd, 2008 02:57 pmWho is your best friend? How long have you known him/her?
I have a couple of best friends. B is my best friend from university. We have known each other 20 years, this month. KD is my best friend in Trinidad. We have known each other 3-1/2 years.
When was the last time you bow-chicky-mow-mowed?
I have no idea what that is. Is there anyone who cares to explain?
ETA: BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!! Thanks for the explanation. Ummm...I will not answer that question, but good for you for asking what people often wonder about each other, but are too shy to ask.
If you were in a band, what kind of band would it be and what would you play/do/sing?
It would be a steelband, and I would play six-bass, with occasional appearances on the other pans (especially four-pan or triple-guitar). Our repertory would be eclectic, ranging from jazz to show tunes to pop to ethnic to classical and then some.
Then again, I enjoy playing drum kit, too... :-) (So many instruments, so few hands!)
Does the fact that Will Smith became a Scientologist affect your views of how hot he is?
I have never thought Will Smith was "hot". It doesn't change my opinion that he is a talented man I am proud to share my ethnicity with. You never hear garbage about him in the media; whenever he and Jada's names are mentioned, it is usually because of a new project, a premier they are attending, or something respectable like that.
What is the story of your first love?
My first love was a blonde-haired, blue-eyed boy in my first grade class. He laughed in my face when I told him I liked him. The End.
How often do you post private LJ entries?
I rarely do; that is what my paper journal and fountain pens are for. But when my thoughts are flying, private LJ entries come in handy. I type over 85 WPM. :-)
You can ask questions, too.

Thoughts I Want to Pursue/Research
Sep. 22nd, 2008 10:05 pm"...I define lesbianism, not merely by the fact that I sleep with women, but as a sense of a really deeply ingrained self; that I have a right to deal my power, whatever it is, however I can manage to do it. The word lesbian for me has a connotation that's far beyond sexual."
~ Audre Lorde, from a 1977 interview with Ellen Shapiro.
Would Lorde have recognized (or doubted) heterosexual women could have that same awareness and ownership of their power? If so, could she then use the word lesbian to refer to them? How did she use the word heterosexual?
Feel free to discuss.
