But I don't think it's very fair

On my way to a write-in yesterday, I had some guy hitting on me on MARTA. I told him, I'm not into guys, because I didn't feel like dealing with his advances. He backed off for a minute or so, and talked to his friends, and then he started talking to me again, about how big his dick was and how there's nothing like a black dick, dicks are so awesome, etc.

So I looked at him and said, "If dicks are so awesome, why don't you try them?"

He stopped for a minute, and then kind of heh-heh'd uncomfortably. "Why would I wanna try dicks? I ain't gay."

"Because they're awesome. You're sitting here telling me that, but clearly you don't believe it or you'd be gay."

And he laughed, shaking his head. "Man, I ain't had anybody question me like this before! You somethin else, girl. Gimmie your number."

So of course I refused, and he started in on about how awesome dicks were, etc etc. This time I tried a different angle, "Man, you know, I'm just like you: I don't want any dicks. Can't you understand that?"

He paused, looking a bit like a fish out of water. "Naw, girl, you'd like black dick. It's the best."

I just stared at him, not saying anything, and he starts laughing uncomfortably again. "Oh, right, I guess I should try it before I say that..."

I lol'd. And then the rest of the ride to the write-in, I thought about something he'd said: nobody had ever questioned him before. Our society is so homophobic that they can't look at a guy talking about how awesome cock is and say, "why don't you try it?"

It's kind of amazing, really.

A series of memos

Dear Author Who Shall Remain Nameless,

If you make your custom journal pages have size six dark grey serif font on a light grey background, I would go blind if I were to try reading your story. Therefore, I'm skipping it.

Try making your journal legible next time.

No love,
me




Dear computer,

Please stop messing up while I'm playing Starcraft II. I'd like to get through the Terran game before the next one comes out!

Hopeful,
me



Dear Star Driver episode 7,

I think filling your own prompt is kind of bad form, but I really want to write this now that I've gone and prompted it.

Oops?

Confused,
me
