in no mood to actually start a discussion
Oct. 13th, 2000 04:22 ambut however feel like babbling
and also i know NOTHING about artvamp as a person so i don't know if i'd just get flamed
sometimes her writing is just odd and i don't pay much attention sometimes (as now) i'm intrigued

quote: "My theory has been supported once again. Monogamy is a myth. Even those who claim it's what they want find they can't resist sex with someone other than their primary love object. Perhaps there are rare cases in which monogamy is actually happily practiced, but I don't know of them. Exclusivity often implies possession. "I am yours, you are mine." Resist ownership (with the exception of willing slavery)."
i agree basically yet i'm struck by something, it seems possession is a no no except in 'willing slavery'? is there not a compromise between "i don't posses you" and willing submission? i'm not sure i GET the idea that each extreme is cool/ok but nothing in the middle is?
perhaps that most people possess in a bad way, forcible control? ok i can see that
the average female that i've known has a horrid tendency to lose herself when she belongs to a partner (becomes possessed as it were), not be able to stay her own person, sucked into the other person, that bothers me, and yes i've done it, oddly enough i haven't really seen that in "willing slaves"
and i don't see it in me and people have said they don't see it in me, people who have seen me do the stupid chick thing when dating
i feel possessed by and taken care of NOW, but somehow i haven't lost ME, and i guess to me that is the best indication that i am actually happy in this relationship
i really like Fade's definition of(goodgod i can't remember if it was monogamy or another word now), i probably can't say it right, being that one is loyal to who one is with, no matter who or how many.
now i've kinda lost my train of thought, HA
i haven't made any conclusions and i don't REALLY disagree with what artvamp said, it just made me think
:D maybe i'll post in response to her that i posted about it, i just didn't think i should go into a personal babble as response, as it looks like i did :)

yeah
now there are two people who's spoken word facinates me
Cyd's, cause well i really dig her voice and her thoughts
and good god, artvamp?
i've been wandering thru the artvamp archive part
(after reading her lj which i commented on below)
facination
little bits of video and something called cathexis radio
maybe it's just tiredness

video may have killed the radio star but Internet radio doesn't seem to be doing much damage in this area
