You know, when I did this interview for USA Today and they shot pics of me in my bedroom, some of the comments on the article really brought home to me that at 36 I'm living what might be considered an alternative lifestyle by some. I live in a two-bedroom apartment with a roommate, so my bedroom is also my office. And because it's just me - almost the same me from ten, even twenty years ago in many ways, it's still full of my stuff: Books, knick knacks, games, my teddy bear.

Did you hear the one about the guy who dressed up as Batman and knocked himself out on his ceiling fan, landing on his wife who was tied to the bed and had to scream for help? Now, I could swear that when I heard that story it was Superman. The AFU and Urban Legend Archive has it under Batman, however, and I guess it's an urban legend. One that got space in the Seattle Times and the Chicago Tribune.

Super hero stories aside, my guess is that most of us have at least one sexual mishap in our past. Let's face it, sex can be messy, sex can be dangerous, and if you're not laughing at some point, I think you might be doing it wrong.

I read an amazing post last week: Take My Arm, My Love by Portly Dyke on Shakesville. She uses an ABC News report on homosexual PDA as a jumping off point, and the post is about how she and her partner change their romantic behavior depending on the environment they're in - even down to the basic intimate act of holding hands.

I have a wedding dress hanging in my closet. It was half paid for when I called off my wedding, the deposit was non-refundable, I loved it... So when the second half was due, I swooped into the bridal shop, paid, muttered something about rescheduling my first fitting, and took it home. And put it in my closet.

The only thing I've ever used it for was a camera test for my thesis film short in film school.

I've tried it on a couple of times. It's really fun to wear with an awesome, swishy, full organza bottom, which is why I love it. It's beautiful.

Before I moved to Los Angeles, I had been single maybe a grand collective total of two years since I was 14. After arriving in Los Angeles, I did the Big S for about five years, dating on and off. During that time, my favorite thing to do was to hang out in mixed groups - co-ed and single/coupled. Because then it's about having fun, more than it is about dating. And if I'm the one person who causes a group to be so mixed, than mixed it is, even if only by my presence.

Single? Have friends that aren't? Might I suggest you get down with embracing "The Third Wheel"?
