I'm still alive
Raw Knee and JennStar get cozy
I won't lie, I just love this picture. She's got such pretty blue eyes!
I ended up writing something pretty heavy for the April edition of Veronica's Closet and it took a lot out of me.
I'll have a new, interesting entry for you dudes here soon.
In other news, my friend, Josh, started a new blog. He does lists of top 5's.
I love lists.
Check him out at In The Top 5

Reader Input Required
I'm working on 2 possible articles for next month's Veronica's Closet. I'm either going with Rape and Sexual Assault or a more light-hearted article about losing one's virginity.
Anyone willing to share stories of rape or sexual assault with me can do so by emailing me at ask.raw.knee@gmail.com
Feel free to do so anonymously. It would be greatly appreciated.
I understand that this is a difficult subject to talk about. The only way to prevent it from happening to other people is to make them aware that this does happen here in our home town and that not only do the police have your back, there are many resources available for free counseling, therapy, educational material, self-defense classes etc. I've been through it myself (more than once) and if I do choose to go with the Rape/Sexual Assault angle I will be sharing one of my own stories, albeit I may decide to credit it "anonymous".
Alternatively, I'm seeking stories of amusing, interesting, entertaining and otherwise terrible cherry poppin' experiences.
How was your first time?
Let me know!
email me! You could get to see your name in print, or if you choose to remain anonymous, share your story - do Ottawa a favour: expose the reality of sexual assault / make us laugh with your lost virginity story.
XOXO

P.S. Ladies, if you've ever been wronged or hurt by someone I really am willing to listen. As I said, I've been there. I promise not to be preachy or offer advice unless asked to. Sometimes you just need to talk.

GLBT (So PC it hurts)
It was once as simple as GLBT. Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgendered. Then a Q was added for queer and soon a second Q, for questioning. Last time I checked there were 3 T's. Transvestite, Transgendered/Transpeople and Two-spirited.
What do we have now? GLBTTTQQ. Seems a bit excessive. Is it not just as easy to say "Gay, Lesbian, Bi, Transvestite, Transpeople, Two-spirited, Queer and Questioning"?
Maybe not, but I know that I have a hard time remembering how many T's and Q's are necessary to ensure that nobody is offended.
How about BDSM? Bondage & Discipline, Domination & Submission and SadoMasochism.
At least the kinky folk allow the D and the S to encompass 2 definitions.
Don't get me wrong, All you homosexuals, transpeople, two-spirited, genderqueer, bi-curious, heteroflexible etc etc etc. I love you! I accept you! We're all people, so can we stop the labeling?
Consider this my plea for "GLBTQ" to be all we need.
