This is actually a Facebook virus that's doing the rounds, but I had fun, so I thought I'd share.
Copy pasta'd directly from FB:
The rules are: write 25 things, tag 25 friends, you must tag the friend who tagged you.
Like those inane questionnaires that come around, but a little more interesting, I hope.
GO!
1. Sexuality could be conceived of as a collection of actions and preferences (fetishised objects?) in a space. Each sexual identity maps lines between these spheres and systems. The more lines connecting two points, the more likely they are to be perceived as within each others proximity, for example, the act of vaginal sex and the preference for women. However, just aas two stars, from one vantage point appear close, but are in fact unimaginably distant, (and vice-versa, of course), so too can relationships between two sexual points seem obvious, where as, if we could step off our planet, so to speak, they would be exposed as shallow at best.
2. The woman across the way from me roles the food around in her mouth in the most extraordinary way (writing in a coffee shop).
3. I didn't realise how excellent it was to write with a mechanical pencil.
4. Life is less enjoyable when you don't smoke.
5. The preceding statement really does have very little to do with withdrawal.
6. It is my opinion that we are and have been moving toward a culture that totemises the infantile. Regard changes in attitudes to children.
7. Loneliness is much like being in a foreign city without enough money.
8. The excretory faculty is taboo because of it's association with mortality. Anal sex, by extension, is akin to death. The 'dominant' partner dominates death. The 'submissive' partner consumes life. Both step into the jaws of death, and re-emerge unscathed.
9. Jesus was, therefore, gay.
10. The preceding 2 statements are artistic truths, not sociological or historical facts.
11. Homophobia results from thanatophobia.
12. The fifth basic taste, 'Umami', was discovered by a Japanese scientist.
13. The Chinese character for peace is comprised of the characters for grain and mouth.
14. Chinese language classes should be mandatory for world leaders.
15. Knowing how to manipulate your balance is essential to good acting.
16. Knowing how to manipulate your voice is essential to good acting.
17. Your balance is a malleable ball you carry in your gut that you can and should take out and play with.
18. Your voice is a beam that emanates from any number of points around your body.
19. Estimating the height of saplings is much like racing tortoises in Greece.
20. My voice is best a few hours after the peek of a hangover.
21. Modernism began in Japan around 500-600 years ago.
22. The boarder between process and product only exists in secondary environments.
23. Primary environments are the direct conditions we inhabit, secondary enviroments are those we create.
24. The boundary between primary and secondary environments is difficult to discern.
25. Growth and development should not be mistaken for each other.
