Ripples: friendship, flirting, sexuality

One of the great things about LJ and fandom is the venue it gives us for exploring our own understanding of friendship, sexuality and other such personal things that might otherwise just get buried in everyday life.

What I mean to say is, I'm about to write a long and self-indulgent personal post, making reference to various themes or wanks or whatever-you-call-them that are running about LJ right now.

( About friendship, friending, and LJ 'friends.' )

( About ::licking::, ::hugging::, and LJ flirtyness. )

( About my own sexuality. )
