How many of you does it take to change a light bulb?

Aries:
Just one. You want to make something of it?

Taurus:
One, but just *try* to convince them that the burned-out one is useless and should be thrown away.

Gemini:
Two, but the job never gets done -- they just keep arguing about who is supposed to do it and how it's supposed to be done!

Cancer:
Just one. But it takes a therapist three years to help them through the grief process.

Leo:
Leo's don't change light bulbs, although sometimes their agent will get a Virgo in to do the job for them while they're out.

Virgo:
Approximately 1.000000 with an error of +/- 1 millionth.

Libra:
Umm, two. Or maybe one. No -- on second thought, make that two. Is that OK with you?

Scorpio:
That secret information can only be shared only with the Enlightened Ones in the Star Chamber of the Ancient Hierarchical Order.

Sagittarius:
The sun is shining, the day is young, we've got our whole lives ahead of us, and you're inside worrying about a stupid burned-out light bulb?

Capricorn:
I don't waste my time with these childish jokes.

Aquarius:
Well, you have to remember that everything is energy, so.....

Pisces:
Light bulb? What light bulb?

This journal is friends only. Please leave a comment if you're going to add me.

Yes I am heavily into BDSM. Yes I talk about it in normal conversation. Yes I am a sexual person. Yes I am a very open and honest person.

Now then.

If we are close friends, and start to see each other more regularly because we enjoy each others company, you do not, EVER, need to do the 'clarification' speech. You are my friend. I do not fancy you. I do not want to fuck you. I do not want to whip you/be whipped by you.

If you feel uncomfortable then you need to examine your sexuality, your emotional capacity, your value system, your relationships, your personal repression. I DO NOT FANCY YOU. If I fancied you, you'd know about it.

People are so fucking desperately sad.

If one more of my friends does this to me I'm going to fucking bitchslap them. As I told the one who did it to me last night - it's like the bad old days when as soon as a gay man came out all his mates thought 'ewww, shit, he fancies me' and stopped seeing him immediately.

Don't EVER flatter yourself. I am VERY fucking fussy. Now fuck off and get a life.

Just a little promo for an LJ community I'm involved in.

Rather than explain it all again, I'll just post my promotion post!

There is currently a very real threat to the viewing of ‘extreme’ pornography in the UK. How many films or photographs do you possess in print or on your hard drive of people in bondage, being flogged or whipped, pissing, etc? If proposed government legislation goes through then you may be convicted, sent to prison for 3 years and put on the Sex Offenders Register – even if the images are acted and consensual.

Concerned? You should be! It is vital that we act NOW to stop this ridiculous legislation – it will be almost impossible once it is introduced to do anything about it and you may find that many of your favourite LiveJournal communities and adult websites are blocked. It may also mean the end of Bizarre magazine and BMEzine.

Join the Backlash UK LiveJournal community so you keep stay informed at the progress of the legislation backlashuk_org. Here you will find details of the legislation and how you can help. This DOES affect you. Even images of you and your sexual partner engaging in certain adult acts are included in this legislation.

Backlash is an alliance of diverse groups, representing tens of thousands of British people, campaigning against the government's proposed new legislation to outlaw the possession of "extreme pornographic material".

Backlash believes that this legislation contravenes the civil liberties of individuals wishing to view images of non-harmful activities engaged in by consenting adults. It notes that there is no scientific evidence to support claims of a link between viewing such material and committing criminal acts. It is concerned that people may be criminalised for harmless fantasies just because other people find those fantasies distasteful. Backlash asserts that the proposed legislation has dangerous implications for the individual's right to privacy.

On the 5th of November last year, Backlash consulted Queen's Counsel Rabinder Singh QC, who concluded that the proposed legislation gives rise to real concerns as to its compatibility with an individual's rights under Articles 8 and 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights. On the 19th of April this year, Backlash supporters met with Home Office officials to discuss the proposed legislation. Backlash encourages its supporters to participate in the government's consultation process and to write to their representatives. It plans to co-ordinate further lobbying activities in the future.
