I don't write in my LJ. I have it specifically so I can pester people and people will KNOW it's me.

[morrigirl.livejournal.com]

That used to be my rationale for having one. Then one day it just kinda turned into my primary journal. So what do you have against LJ?

oh by the way, has anyone ever told you your journal is a little...perverted? :-)

[timmytm.livejournal.com]

I've been on Open Diary for the past two and a half years. Maybe it's Bruce's vision, or the fact that it was my first diarysite, but that site interface has always been very intuitive to me. LJ seems to be designed half-ass backwards. (..Funny phrase.)

So. I won't be writing here. This place strikes me as a baron wasteland. Well, in part because I don't know how to stir up attention. Looks awfully lonely. I've always felt a high community aspect to Open Diary. The favorites I read. The favorites I don't read. The diariest I only "hear" about, but don't really read into. And my lovely lurkers who love me from afar.

So.

I don't give a shit about my LJ. I had no idea what the rules were, so I just posted my dick. I've respected the no-package policy on OD.

..You do know about my fauxskin experiment, right?

[morrigirl.livejournal.com]

Oh I disagree with you whole heartedly. I became a firm LJ supporter precisely because of the strong sense of community. Probably helps that most of the people I went to college with are out here and it's a fab way to keep in touch with them. Friends aside I've met some lovely people out here, even though, yes it is difficult to achieve renown out here, though not difficult to stir up trouble.

A lot of the people on my friends list actually came to LJ because OD screwed them over. But, eh to each his own I guess.

and no you never mentioned your fauxskin experiment to me

[timmytm.livejournal.com]

Well again, I don't understand how LJ works. I just see my own space. I don't see everybody else. It looks cold and lonely. So that's my perception.

I stuck with Open Diary through that lonely period where Bruce disappeared on us. Granted, I was a member of the Twenty Dollah Billz Club (now the Twelve Dollah Billz Club) at the time and was immune to advertising. But. Still, people bitch too much. I trust the vision of Bruce over the open source of LJ. But, that's me.

if I keep talking, I'm going to say again how confusing an unintuitive LJ is. Ha ha. THERE'S NO WAY TO SEE AN ENTRY CONTENTS. There's no front page. There's just. Crap. And I have to go through two pages just to write an entry? I don't understand how the colors work, that's why mine is so ass-ugly. Yes, I fiddled. And it still looked ugly.

Read up.

Eh, you're just not used to it.

And the whole fauxskin experiment. Very...odd. But, knowing you the way I do, which is not very long or well, it doesn't surprise me one bit.

[timmytm.livejournal.com]

I'm not used to it, and I don't intend to ever get used to it. I'm anal-retentive and arrogent and LJ CAN SUCK MY DICK. *smiles*

I love my Bang Bang Bruce.

I wonder how many other guys my age are pissed off about circumcision...

[morrigirl.livejournal.com]

Jesus RELAX! No one is forcing you to become better acquainted with LJ. Take a deep cleansing breath and find your zen place.

I have no idea who bruce is so your repeated mention of him means nothing to me.

And I know of.....absolutely no men besides yourself who are pissed about circumcision. *smiles*

[timmytm.livejournal.com]

Sorry. Me calm.

Bang Bang Bruce, our Kinky DiaryMaster. Now understand?

Ignorance is bliss, as they say. It's easier for circumcised men to just assume that circumcision is "normal", and not subject them to the kind of emotional trauma I've put myself through. The high road, I suppose; just assuming they're better.

[morrigirl.livejournal.com]

I just suppose they figure it's in the past, my winkie works fine, I can still get laid, no need to dwell on it.

[timmytm.livejournal.com]

The thing they don't realize is how much they're missing. I'll never know, really, because I never experienced it. They see it as a good thing, that it was done at birth. I see it as an atrocity.
..
I talk about about it. I'm the token guy angry about circumcision. Token only because there aren't too many people out there.

[morrigirl.livejournal.com]

And what exactly is one missing by being circumcized?

[timmytm.livejournal.com]

A foreskin. Duh.

[morrigirl.livejournal.com]

Well obviously. I thought you were gonna tell me something I didn't know :-p If that's ALL what the hell is the problem?

[timmytm.livejournal.com]

So you don't think circumcision is much, do you? How would you like your clitty hood removed without your consent?

It's amazing how downplayed the entire thing is. Just a flap of skin. Much more than that.

[morrigirl.livejournal.com]

Well if I were a week old at the time it happened I don't think I'd care. I wouldn't remember the experience of having it removed nor would I remember what it was like to have one.

Don't get me wrong I understand where you're coming from. I don't think it's right to remove anyone's anything without consent. But by the same token once it is over and done with, if it isn't causing you any horrible physical or mental anguish (other than that which you inflict upon yourself) why worry about it?

[timmytm.livejournal.com]

You try dealing with the physical scars. That's what this restoration thing is about. So I don't have to see that damn scar anymore.

I know all about the emotional trauma I'm purposely putting myself through, so there's no need for me to say anything about it.

[morrigirl.livejournal.com]

I get the feeling I've pissed you off.

[timmytm.livejournal.com]

It's a topic quite personal to me. I can not ignore that I have a personal stake in it. I can turn it on and off, I suppose. But it's important to recognize that, yes, this bothers me for a reason. That I will never reach my full sexual capacity. Among other things.

[morrigirl.livejournal.com]

Okay see that's where I'm getting tripped up...how exactly will you never reach your full sexual capacity?

[timmytm.livejournal.com]

Because I don't have a foreskin. I figured you didn't read all my stuff.

I can not confirm this myself, becuase it's only what I've read. But supposedly, the focus of sexual pleasure is not actually the glans, but the foreskin.

But even if that isn't so...

My glans is cracked and dry. It's always been that way. It's supposed to be shiny and smooth. The pleasure I derive from my penis mostly comes from the corona, the ridge of the head.

[morrigirl.livejournal.com]

A) No I've not read all of your stuff yet

B) Thank you for giving me an explanation. That's all I wanted. That's all I ever want when I don't understand something.
