Still in the planning stages of an entry on why I don't like to associate with the poly crowd because so many people have this nasty, self righteous attitude about their preferences. I don't like the "I'm so much more enlightened than you because I fuck lots of people" vibe that I find all too often. That's so much crap. Just admit that you like to sleep around and be done with it instead of pretending it makes you more capable of love than a person who only has one partner. Sheesh.

Work was kooky today. It dragged on and on and on... I heard a truly horrifying sexual abuse case today. It was just such a sick, weird way to mess with a kid. Ugh and more ugh. This guy needs to go to prison.

My grandparents are in town this weekend. Yay visits.

Oh my lord Dracula 2000 is on TV! Stress relief in the form of an appallingly bad movie. But Omar Epps has pointy teeth! Bwahahahah.

I'm sorry if I have offended you by speaking in generalities here. I perhaps should have held off on commenting until I had the entire entry planned and written.

I don't have a problem with people being happy with their choices. What irritates me about a significant number of people that I've met who identify themselves as poly is the profession that their wide and expressive sexual life grants them some sort of mystical superiority to people who do not have the same habits. I'm heartily sick of the attitude that I am somehow limited, closeted, unenlightened, whatever because I don't follow that road.

I can understand that, and I known the kind of jerks you're talking about. And yes, they're jerks.

I also understand that you speak in generalizations more as a style thing than anything else, and for a lot of the categories I fall into for which you do not share the same views (I am, at heart, a big hippie, I support the smoking ban in bars even as a smoker, and I'm an ex-vegetarian) I don't speak up, because it's not a necessary clash of interstests. S'allllllll good. The reason I did this time is because your phrasing seemed to indicate a lifestyle of which I am a part, instead of individuals acting poorly.

I was very hesistant to name names in the post for fear of causing LJ drama for my friend, which was probably part of the problem. I've been ranting about it under my breath for days on end.

Someone get me my cane and my pills. I'm getting old. I should just sit on the porch and shake my fist at the kids. :P
