The definition of levity is humor or frivolity, especially the treatment of a serious matter with humor or in a manner lacking due respect. In my professional life, I'll admit to having a hard time holding my tongue when the obvious joke could be made, especially if sexual. My sense of humor has always been much like a 16 year old boy. Why, you ask, am I talking about this? Because I find myself having the most interesting, hilarious and informative conversations with my female friends that I finally had to break down and put some of it to paper (.com style).
I'm not sure if it's my general lack of concern for appropriateness that brings on these types of conversations or just that we women like to talk, but often times hilarity ensues. And I can count on my friends for very interesting information (don't forget to read A Magical Guide for Evolved People and What Not To Do). From arguments across the table regarding lube (silicon versus water-based) to stories of flinging candy (or nuts!) from a partner's erection to see if he can catch it with his mouth (now affectionately called "dick trebuchet") tears are often threatening to flow freely down my face.
Now, let's just take a moment to think about that last one. How in the world does something like this happen? Sex is fun and the imagination can certainly be applied to change it or spice it up, but what prompted this? "Hey, hon, open you're mouth, I'm going to fling a piece of candy at you. Oh, and I'm going to use your dick." Fun was had by all, but where do you go from there? And yet, very intriguing, once you've heard about it. Who wants to try?
And then there's the question incredulously asked of me, "You mean you haven't had sex with your skates on?". No, because the idea never crossed my mind. And then I start picturing it without any further details and I start laughing. I have to know.... "So, what, he just grabbed your hips and rolled you back and forth?". "Yep." Well, then, that seems reasonable, because you wouldn't be able to keep your feet up in the air for long if you were on your back, because that shit is heavy.
I was going to write more about the serious side of sex, but I'll save that for another day. Whether you're vanilla or kink, let's talk about sex, baby, because maybe you'll learn something new, too.

Reflections Inward
I think I've spent more time in the last few months reflecting on my life, who I am, and what my future holds than ever in the past. I've always believed that there isn't any decision, choice or mistake I've made that is worth regretting, that in the end those things make me who I am. But who am I? And today I started thinking about the influence my friends have on me.
Do you think you can pinpoint the parts of you that are really your friends? For instance, my taste in music hasn't changed, but it's definitely broadened. Or at least, it's been a while since I've sought out any new music. And I find myself on this quest now to find more music that is different to add to my playlist, because I've re-discovered that great quality of music to move and shift with my emotions and personality (because let's face it, we're not the same person every day for every hour). Indie pop, rock, oldies, etc... and of course, booty music!
Food is another example. I've always been an extraordinarily picky eater. There are definitely things that I still don't like (you can't convince me that an olive or mushroom taste good, sorry), but I've tried so many new things over the past year it's hard to imagine I had refused to even try them before (prime rib, oysters, octopus, swordfish).
And travel.... by myself and without a plan. When I started to plan my trip to Greece, the idea stressed me out that I would go without a plan. But then I let go, and it was amazing! And I can't wait to do it again (by myself and hopefully with others, too).
Each of these things, I can pinpoint the person(s) who influenced these aspects of who I am now. Are we really just reflections of the people we have in our lives, or is it just that I'm more sensitive to this now than I was before?
Who am I? I'm the girl that now says, "Shut up and dance with me." Because life really is dance and everyone in your life is a partner that shows you something new, I think.
