because they hate to be lied to, but like to lie...

"Because they hate to be lied to, but like to lie, they love to find things with the help of truth, but hate to be found out by it. But this is the revenge truth takes on those men unwilling to be found out by it: It not only finds out the truth about them but prevents them from finding it out. To this, even this, is the human mind reduced, to this blind, weak state, that it wants to hide its foul vileness from others, but wants nothing hidden from it." > St. Augustine, Confessions

i am woman, hear me...gchat.

J: i'm confused about whether my [male] friends are "boys" or "men."

A: are you similarly confused as to whether you are a girl or a woman?

J: yes, similarly. i could be either. but at 26, woman seems more appropriate.

A: i'm not confused, but its hard to change the terminology. we are women. they are men. but it's hard to start saying that.

J: sounds so...official! i am a woman. i need to practice saying that.

A: haha. and roaring.

J: hahaha
