The Crow for sure...all the sequels sucked shit, they disgraced the original with Brandon Lee (R.I.P). I thought the story was original and it had some amazing art direction. I have to agree with aphelion too, Requiem was excellent. I've loved anything by the Cohen brothers, Fargo was hillarious. Movies...I love them, I can't even remember all my faves, there are tons. Those are the most memorable though.

I have a few. Gustav Klimt Egon Schiele Mark Rothko Helen Frankenthaler... I really like the German Expressionists but I also appreciate a lot of abstract work.

Thanks for your support mrdick! I've only been with 2 guys and it's slowly coming to my realization how much it pleases them to see their woman get off. I know this sounds naieve of me, but after all those stories you hear about men being selfish about sex...it's a wonder! Now I could have just been fortunate to have giving partners cause I have girlfriends that have mintue men, and I think you are right about it being a big deal for a guy to be able to give a girl her first orgasm. It seems like a big disappointment for the guy if he can't get his woman off. And I hate it when my man thinks that it's his fault cause I can't cum. He always thinks that I'm not satisfied, or that I'm upset. I'm not! I have a good time! (someone else already made this point) The first guy I was with (long story) was just kind of a bed buddy, we were good friends and he was fuckin' hot! but not too much emotion involved. We were seeing each other for about 6 months and when we got together he was like, 'Alright, I am going to make you cum today!' It was like a mission. But it always got to the point where I would start thinking...this isn't fair...and I wanted him to enjoy having sex too! The way I have/had been thinking, I figured that he would conclude that having sex with me was a chore, hard work even! God...you could talk about this for hours. SO we go back to what I had said before about me turning things around and giving him head. The other thing too, is that (I'm sure this has been said too many times...but I'm new!) I can't figure things being very visually appealing down there... Anyways, here's another question. Do you think everyone is cut out for casual sex? I am much more responsive to the person I'm with now because there are so many more feelings involved. I thought maybe I had a really hard time with the first guy because there was no connection there. You figure that's an issue? or do you think that anyone is capable with sleeping with anyone, and that you just need practice to be able to cum?

Sorry mrdick, Didn't realize you asked me that question. Anyways, I've been able to bring myself to orgasm but it's a different story when someone else is involved. I'm comfortable with my man right now, and he does a great job but it's like a slow build up. Each time he goes down on me I feel like I'm that much closer to coming, but it's difficult getting there. I usually end up feeling like he deserves a little sumthin' sumthin' for all the work he's been doing trying to get me off... I'm determined baby! I'll get there sooner than later. Thanks for all your input!

I've only been with a couple people and I'm finding that it's so difficult! It's so true though, having to be comfortable with your own body. I am finding that each time I get a little closer to reaching it, but I think it's come down to a comfort issue with my body. I've got a great man...it's just taking me a little getting used to.

Question to all the ladies... How long was it before you were able to orgasm for the first time?

Sex on E is great! It's way more sensual I think. The first time I rolled on E I had sex later that night. The guy I was with didn't roll though cause he knew that he wouldn't be able to keep it up... It's tough when we're both on it cause you get so damn horney but everyone is right...it's hard for the guy to penetrate.

For sharonregina and anyone else who is into histories and memories and art, check out these readings. 'Aesthetic Inheritances/history worked by hand' in Yearning:Race, Gender, and Cultural Politics' pg 115-122 -By Bell Hooks. -this is the first time I've read anything by her, but I've been told that she's a great writer. 'Sculpture, materiality and Memory in an Age of Amnesia' in Displacements, exhibition catalogue. pg 31-40 -you can get lost in this one...read it a few times. The Bell Hooks reading you should be able to find at the library, the Displacements catalogue might be harder to track down. These readings are art related so if you have a hard time making sense of the articles and how they relate, drop me a note.

hey sharonregina, Umm...as for suggested readings, I'm a fine arts major and the class I'm taking is a visual arts seminar so the readings we have been doing are all related to histories, memories and art making. You still interested?

Dudes! Sorry if I offended anyone with my stupid question...but it was just a question. I wanted to know if anyone else had heard this too.

Love the village... Aside from that...and people always give me heck for this one, I'm not from NYC so I built up this fascination with Coney Island. I'm not in NYC anymore, but before I left in the beginning of Jan. I would go out there and just think. It's like a ghost town, no one to bother you...I'd go walk out on the boardwalk and just clear my head. It was especially nice when it was sunny. If you aren't opposed, go try it sometime.

Hey gambitX73...about your post. It's interesting that you should ask that question cause I'm taking a class on History and Memory right now. You could agree or disagree, but...I figure History is what happens to you, memory is how it happened and how you remember it. Imagination is what happens in your head...but doesn't physically materialize. You asked a pretty loaded question. Your memory changes as time goes on which is where the lines blur between memory, imagination and dreams. It kind of scares me sometimes trying to remember a certain person, place or experience I had because you never remember it the same way it happened. And who's to say that it happened? The only evidence or truth is dictated by you.

So I've only done E a few times...and had a great time doing it! But anyways, a friend of mine told me that she stopped doing it after she heard that it's really bad for your spine. She said it consumes a lot of fluids from your spine...whatever that means. Has anyone else heard of this or is my friend just off her rocker?

I would have to say most recently 'Light Years' by Pearl Jam, but for anybody that likes any singer song-writers like Sarah MacLauchlin (I know I didn't spell that right) check out Chantal Kreviazuk...obsure I know cause she's Canadian like me! One super sad song for me is a track called 'Until We Die'. Another one is 'Surrounded'...
