I’m sorry, but I hated that picture.
50 Men Wearing High Heels Walk Past My Window
Sadly, I do not have pictures of this event. I knew such an activity was planned yesterday but had forgotten it. I simply had other things on my mind, including another thing I had forgotten about — an essay I have due today. (There are times as a writer when you do wish you’d be shot for missing a deadline. It’d solve a lot of your other problems. However, shooting people for...
Yay!
One more week in this place and I’m out of here!
An Asexual Psychic? My first thought: Really?
Sometimes I do not know whether a lead I come across is newsworthy or not. As much as I wish it to be otherwise, it is often a very slow news day for Asexuals. It is a rare gem that makes me wonder what the point of an actual article posted elsewhere was.
A recent interview with an Asexual psychic was one such encounter. At first, I thought the post would place us in with Otherkin. (I know...
I Get Accosted By a Brilliant Photographer
… at least that’s what he said.
The bizarre encounter occurred last night. I had decided to go for a walk. It was a long walk that even managed at some point to evoke my fear of heights. I thought the most I’d worry about is the amount of sweat. I was returning home that night I cam across an old man looking at a car ansd saying he wanted a car like that. He asked me about a...
This Poem Has Always Bothered Me
It is the Soldier, not the minister Who has given us freedom of religion.
It is the Soldier, not the reporter Who has given us freedom of the press.
It is the Soldier, not the poet Who has given us freedom of speech.
It is the Soldier, not the campus organizer Who has given us freedom to protest.
It is the Soldier, not the lawyer Who has given us the right to a fair trial.
It is the Soldier,...
One Series About to End....
The bullying series will end in April. By the way, if you’re not sure how to apply or don’t want to use my conveniently provided e-mail addresses, just contact me here. You need to sign up for the site with your e-mail address. There is some editorial control in place, although you may never realize it.
In any case, I promised my story at the end of April. I don’t think...
Couldn't he give the DJ Easter Off?
Living above a bar is not something I much care for. It’s why I’m happy there’s less than two weeks to go before I move from this efficiency apartment. I can’t say I’ll miss Pottsville and I sure as hell won’t miss living above a bar. With all that, it’s now 11 p.m. on Easter Sunday and I’m hearing the obnoxious sounds of the disc jockey playing two...

Interesting Late Night Conversations
I’m not a fan of living above a bar. I’m not going to miss this place when I move in May to a place closer to the school. I’m not sure the new neighborhood will be much better, but at least the building is nicer. I’ll also have access to a kitchen, which is not something available at my current location.
The First Altercation

CONFESSIONS OF AN ASEXUAL SLUT
I’ve come to the realization recently that I got ho tendencies. I mean this in all but the classic sense, having been literally (if…
A quote from the Starship Troopers book.
Anyone who clings to the historically untrue - and thoroughly immoral - doctrine ‘that violence never settles anything’ I would advise to conjure up the ghosts of Napoleon Bonaparte and of the Duke of Wellington and let them debate it. The ghost of Hitler could referee, and the jury might well be the Dodo, the Great Auk and the Passenger Pigeon. Violence, naked force, has settled more...
Become a Super Villain. Read an Ayn Rand Novel... →
I really don’t think it works that way. I thought taking Ayn Rand’s philosophy just turned you into an Ultra-Libertarian who doesn’t realize that many parts of the Objectivist philosophy simply don’t work.
Need Ideas -- Bullying, What Works
Now, I see this is a key phrase people are searching for. I’d like to finish April’s series on Asexual bullying by reaffirming the bullying is a human issue that can affect anyone. I also am curious as to what works. I’ve seen Olweus, but to be honest, it seems like a lot of well-meaning idiocy that lets the bullying take place outside of school grounds. Of course, this is...
I won't be watching the Doctor Who premier
With all the drama involving the car recently, you might think it slipped my mind that the Doctor Who season premier is tomorrow. It has not. I just have a lot of other things on my mind. Even if I did not have these things on my mind, I’d still have a difficult time watching because my cable only gets cable modem. (And much to my dismay, a lot of things aren’t on Netflix. I...
Stating My Policy on Following People
On Twitter, if you want me to follow you, you have to provide content that is useful, relevant or interesting to me on a relevant basis. If you want the Asexual News page to follow you on Twitter, you have to be an Asexual Site or Organization. This latter policy would be more useful if I had a clue what Facebook meant to do with these pages. I think I should be able to follow people back, but...

halfway-outofthedark:
I’m asexual. I feel no physical attraction to anyone: men, women or other. Whether or not I feel romantic attraction is, in a way, still up in the air simply because I’m not quite sure about what qualifies as romantic attraction and bloody hell it’s confusing.
And you know what? I would call…

cobracunt replied to your post: Sometimes I feel bad about how much I torrent.
i do too. but i remember the same things about torrents, namely that i do not have money to drop on music and movies as a college student so bleh.
Yeah. I buy things when I can, but torrenting something isn’t a decision between buying it or not, because I couldn’t buy it anyway.
I’d feel bad...
Was My Shameless Recruting Post Really That Funny?
I love Cakeyeahasexuals, although sometimes the jokes just aren’t quite there. It’s okay. Not every form of humor appeals to everyone. I’m also flattered they reblogged my post since I’ve been aware of them for several months. On the other hand, I’m not sure they didn’t reblog it as a joke.
I know as as someone in my 30s, I’m too old and not cool enough...
