Tuesday, May 21, 2013

It’s Teenage Week here on Seraphic Singles as I ruefully survey my own teenage years and my adult conclusions that teenage dating is pointless, stupid and risky.

A Word about Math

Saturday, May 18, 2013

I very much enjoyed reading responses to yesterday’s question, “What if you were kidnapped by space aliens and they zapped you with alien technology so that all your XX chromosomes warped into XY chromosomes and when you regained consciousness, you were really and truly a man?” The point of the exercise was to ponder what it might be like to be a man.

Thanks to your prayers, I slept like a log. I don’t have to go in for this blood test for some hours yet, so I will calm myself by returning to “Let’s Praise Men Week.” (In case you didn’t read my terrified midnight post, by 14:20 British Summer Time I will be in a waiting-room waiting to have a blood test.

Innocent Because Beautiful

Monday, May 13, 2013

The idea that the surviving Boston Bombing suspect must be innocent because he is “too beautiful” suggests that some girls take “not rooted in reality” to an extreme.I have been pondering my high school days recently, and I am so glad that when I was a teenager, there were fewer ways to preserve evidence of the weird blips of one’s juvenile brain. There was no texting, no tweeting, no blogging, no Facebook, no camera phones and very few tattoos for women

She was embarrassed that she had done this–and perhaps that her father had given his opinion not only to her but to the stranger–and wondered what else she might have done.I said she had done the right thing, and she could do it again in future.
