Texty

According to my brain while in dreamland, the most awesome things, ever are (in no particular order):

1. Friendly sex with celebrities or people I know (occasionally people I haven't ever thought about that way, which is slightly disturbing; never quite knew I had the hots for Ian McKellen. Thanks, subconscious!)
2. Food, and large quantities thereof, like giant buffet tables and huge candy stores.
3. Running, biking, jumping, flying, swimming, skating--all with superhuman strength and velocity.
4. Beating the everloving snot out of people who annoy me or who have hurt me or someone I love.
5. Cuddling, caring for and loving small, helpless creatures or children.
6. Singing, playing an instrument, composing--all with virtuoso ability.

and...

7. Desperately trying to find an appropriate place in which to relieve myself, and coming up short. Usually this manifests in finding public bathrooms with no privacy or broken stall doors or something like that.

...

WTF?

There are other recurring dreams I have--some interesting ones, some horrifying ones--but these are the most common. IDGI.

It just occurred to me: I know basically nothing about mainstream het female culture.

I was just thinking that virtually all of the friends I've had in the last ~20 years have been some variety of queer or non-muggle. The only thing I know about average straight women is what I get from the media. I mean... I know some straight women, sure (hi!), but most of them are fandom/alterna sorts and therefore don't really do the mainstream girl thing themselves.

K is probably the only more-or-less "normal" straight woman I know, and that's different because she's practically my sister, and she's more than a bit of a tomboy anyway.

Most of the guys I know are queer or geeky, too, but I've known a lot more average straight men than women, and therefore their culture isn't as much of an unknown.

No wonder I feel so weird when I'm forced to have social conversations with straight women. They're basically an alien species to me.
