naked

Why do people bareback? While bearing no judgement whatsoever, I cannot subscribe to it but I keep trying to understand the reasons behind all the unprotected sex I witnessed on Saturday night.

Why is it that my supposedly Italian complexion got slightly burned after one and a half hours in Brocknell park? And that my Italian mother can't cook to save her life? So much for national stereotypes.

Why is it that I cannot get round to getting in touch with a good friend of mine in the US who's just discovered she might have cancer? I need to look her in the eye and tell her that everything is going to be OK, and hug her so hard that she'll feel I'm there with her, I can't just send an email or call her - and yet I know that's all I can do for now.

Why didn't drinks affect me yesterday at the RVT, and I kept dancing and dancing and smiling and sweating as if I was on E (no, even more so than if I were on E), and then went for a meal and got home and felt absolutely OK and went to bed - only to wake up at 3am felling completely and utterly drunk and sick? One of these days I'm going to donate my body to science.

And why is it that every time I'm winning a bid on Ebay someone (who had not taken part in the auction all along) comes in at the very last minute and outbids me? Even when I check the auction during the closing minutes, I could never manage to bid again so quickly with my pre-historical modem connection.

    What's it LIKE at Fist? I've always been curious, but it's a bit scary, frankly…

    I was nervous about it, but honestly there's no need to be scared, you can take (no pun intended) as much or as little of it as you want. It's not full of dangerous freaks lurking in pitch darkness - in fact most of the venue looks just like any ordinary club.
