(no subject)

Sometimes you read a line in an otherwise dry article and it's just so witty and perfect you can't stop laughing:

Octopuses generally only interact with each other out of aggression or mating instinct, and if the female is hungry those instincts may conflict. Basically, an octopus blind date is exactly like a human blind date

(From here. Warning, frank reference to octopodes getting it on.)

Found while trawling old words

Valentines day is, as I put it to myself, a "Trigger Day" for me. Last year, spending it reading books with mek, went a long way towards helping erase that particular set of memories, but they'll never truly disappear.

I don't at all feel mopey or like writing about My Tragic Abuse Backstory tonight, but I did feel like poking through the archive on 750words, and see if there was anything interesting I had said in the past. And there was! Oh how there was! This was written in 2013, and is not any less true now than it was then¹.

I have come so astonishingly far since 2007. I am good for sex, and other things too. There is no _only_ in the sentence.

1: You can thank Magus for the fact that I can write this sentence --he was the one who properly sat me down at some point and was all "look, if it's got an e in it, it's chronological, if you're spelling it with an a, you're making a comparison".
