A Softer Rage

[harp]

Last night, mr_liam_to_you was nice enough to let me talk to him non-stop
(almost literally) from 3:50 AM to 8:30. I'm quite sure I woke up at around this time yesterday... but I haven't been to sleep yet. Christalmighty... sleep was the one thing I could never fight. Can go hours without peeing, can do ok without eating, but my body always loses to the fight with sleep.

I've never been up for 24 hours before. And look! Liam an' I had a brain baby! queerrage_lite! My communities never get very big, so I do not expect much.






I'm going to fix the lower bit of his face once I go to bed.
Been very happy since... Tuesday. Mostly. It's not real happiness; it's the feeling of, for the first time, not having extreme anxiety. It's positively wonderful!

Submissives make the best and cruelest masters

Speaking of sex, my friend posted this and I thought you might be interested. You know, give yourself a term paper assignment, for old time's sake.

"Within the past decade, a growing number of individuals, self-identifying as asexual, have come together to form asexual communities. Although self-definitions vary widely, many of these individuals describe themselves as experiencing little or no sexual desire. In addition, they do not regard asexuality as a pathological condition but, rather, as a variant of human sexual expression. For researchers in the field of psychology and related disciplines, the elaboration of asexual identities and the growth of online asexual communities raise a range of empirical and theoretical questions which have heretofore gone largely unaddressed. This special issue of Psychology & Sexuality invites papers which contribute to the academic and social understanding of asexuality.

We welcome papers from the discipline of psychology and allied disciplines. We also welcome papers from outside the discipline that speak to the field of psychology. Interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary work is most welcome.

Possible topics include though are not limited to:
- Asexual identities
- Asexuality and assumed pathology
- Asexuality and sexual normativity
- Asexuality and love
- Asexual relationships
- Asexuality and the LGBT community
- The universality and/or particularity of sexual desire
- Marginalization of asexuality
- Asexuality and the internet
- Social and political goals of the asexual community

This issue will represent a significant contribution to our understanding of asexuality by bringing together a range of papers on the topic for the first time. It will also provide an opportunity both to map the current state of research on asexuality and to provide a direction for future scholarship and inquiry.

If you have questions, please conduct one of the guest editors for the issue:

Mark Carrigan - m.a.carrigan@warwick.ac.uk
Kristina Gupta - kgupta2@emory.edu
Todd G. Morrison - tgm003@mail.usask.ca

Submission Due Date: Feb 2011
Full length papers (6000 words) and shorter articles (1000-2000 words)"

Did your friend get any so far? I want to read some of the stuff that's been submitted!

It's not actually my friend who's looking for papers. He just passed it on to me, and I passed it on to you. I imagine you'd have to contact Psychology & Sexuality about submissions, and who knows if they'd share before the publication date.
