Creative Gentleman

In college I majored in English Literature. It was
sort of a fake major. All I wanted to do was dance,
but at the time there wasn't a B.A. in Dance were I
was. So i was an English major and a dance minor.
In graduate school I majored in Dance and got my MFA
in performance. I got through my undergrad Lit
courses pretty much undamaged, with my pristine
ignorance mostly intact. But I do remember one thing
my Lit professor said:

"If you are writing a novel, or a story, you are
telling a lie. If what you write is true or is
intended to be true, you are writing a history, or a
biography, but you are not writing a novel or a
story."

He went on to teach that literature is a "lie in
service to a greater truth." In other words,
literature, which is false, can portray truth better
than histories, or biographies. I found this to be
true in university. I took Psych, but in literature
I learned more about human psychology than you can
shake a spere at.

So I am amused when I come on LITerotica and find
people worrying about whether what someone posts is
"true," or who they "really" are. I worry more about
whether what someone writes is "hot." I had a great
ongoing correspondence with a guy who turned out to
be a girl posing. Someone went to a great deal of
trouble to "out" her to me. I suppose that person
felt as superior, as I did as a child, when I went
around telling the other kids there was no Santa
Claus. It made me feel superior until I grew up a
little. I don't think it made anyone's life better.

I'm not gay.(Not that there is anything "wrong" with
it.) Writing with a "guy" who was "really" a "girl"
was just a non-issue for me. I don't CARE who (or
what) is on the other end of the line. (I once wrote
with a computer as a project when my then bf was in
comp sci.) All I care about is: Is it hot? Or is it
not? In the event, she stopped writing me. We both
lost. To the one who outed her to me, thanks a LOT!

If I were looking to hook up (I'm not), it might
matter who someone "really was." Since I'm not
planning to hook up, give it a rest already! Let me
have my Santa Claus. Find something to do with your
hands other than going around spoiling other folks'
fun!

Love,

Jamie

PS The computer was a Not Hot Bot

feeling silly

There once was a girl with large breasts
Who wanted to give me a test.
So i gave her a lick
And she fell on my stick
And since then, neither have had a rest
