Seen on the cover of this month's Cosmo, the headline "How Long Guys Want Sex To Last".

Several things ran through my mind:

*I bet they will say the answer is precisely 7 minutes and 43 seconds, for all guys, everywhere.

*Next time, I'm calling it quits precisely when Cosmo tells me to. We'll see how that goes over! (What if I like to go longer, or shorter? Does that make me a slut? ;))

*Let me guess: it depends, and it varies! Common sense FTW!

*Allow me to read this article and then add the amount of time having sex takes to my list of Things Cosmo Would Have Me Worry About While Trying To Have Sex. (I think Cosmo would have your inner monologue go something like this: "Is this the best angle for him to be looking at me from? Maybe if I toss my hair around a little. Okay. I read that men like it when I ____, I'd better get to that. They also suggest a "swirl" here...there, okay, check. Must check his body language for signs that he's thinking of someone else right now/that he's gay/that he'd prefer to be boning unicorns - hmm, inconclusive. I must not be doing it right. Oh god my butt my butt he's looking at my butt OH NO, oh hey Cosmo says time's up!"

Shut up and enjoy yourself already, Cosmo girl.

We switched cable providers today for the shiny fiber optic small business approach (Burlington Telecom) rather than the, well, Comcast approach. Ryan has a fastfast connection at work (just down the road) provided by Bulington Telecom, and they are supposed to be great...so why is my internet connection SO SLOW now?

I am going to assume this is some kind of switching-over lameness and it will somehow get better. FOR NOW.

And I guess Ryan has to work late today and I have been sitting here all day waiting for the cable guy to arrive and then for him to be done drilling holes in the walls, so now I think I'm going to go out somewhere.

you're the honey in the moon that lights up my night

This is me last fall - I didn't realize my hair was long that recently. It was kind of pretty, all red and long like that. But I don't miss it, at least not very much.

This is my last hour (or so) of being 26! But it's okay, I've felt more like 27 for a while now. You know how I'm going to spend my last hour of twenty-sixitude? Sleeping, that's how. (Oh hey, I guess it's not technically my last hour of 26. I was born at 6-something in the evening. But y'know, birthdaywise, this is it. :))

PS: my internet is fixed (obvs)! It is now quite fast and shiny! I look forward to trying it out more tomorrow. ;)
