I stumbled across your fine blog yesterday and have wasted many hours trying to catch up. The June Cleaver quoting Frank Zappa put it over the top for me…I love you…

there are ABSOLUTELY people just like that in EVERY suburb… they're just too scared to be judged to come out about it.

fucking repressive american puritanism!

Ward, don't you think you were a little tough on the Beaver last night? (The dirtiest thing said on TV in the 60s)

A favorite comedian quote – "Ladies, if blood stains are a major concern, LAUNDRY may not be your biggest problem."

I always thought about kids scraping their knees and then a female friend mentioned the bloody gash connection… that joke wasn't as funny… ok, maybe a little.

You should host on of those sex toy parties… with lot's of martinis.

Sure the ladies may point and whisper as you walk by, but it will be the most interesting thing they talk about for the next 2 years.

Maybe it's different in America, but the suburbs in Australia appear to be filled with dirty, dirty people.
For instance, over the last ten years or so, there's been a huge surge in sex 'super stores' that are very deliberately (as in, they state it themselves) marketed to married couples. The headquarters of one chain of these stores is located almost exactly between where I grew up and what appears to be the epitome of the type of suburb your conservative 'well-bred' family would live in. Because it's their HQ, it's got all their products – this thing is a supermarket of sex toys, lingerie and porn (Which made the weekly trip to my parents for dinner so much more enjoyable. ).

My point is: maybe there's some wonderfully like-minded mums in your own suburb, hiding their wickedness, just like you are? I'm not sure how you'd find them, though. (I'm wondering if you could use some sort of trained sniffer dog? They spend half their time with their nose in your crotch, they might as well be useful while they're there and figure out if it's recently held a sex toy….oh, I'm a sick, sick person.)

i've always been a misfit in the burbs. i just live by a different code: one where adult fun, games, sex toys, and some nasty language all remind me that I'M ALIVE. with a strong pulse. i'm not hurting or judging anyone. to me that's being a damn good human being. all of the other stuff, means nothing.

i think my daughter is better for it, too. she sees that her mom is vibrant, passionate and full of life. she knows that i am responsible and our home and family needs are met. she knows that being conventional and/or uptight aren't the only ways to accomplish that or to raise a good kid. she knows that i believe no matter what music you listen to, or video games you play, or tv you watch that you're not going to hell in a hand basket or becoming morally bankrupt. she knows that being loved is a gajillion times more important than any of that.

i love the internet because i've met so many like-minded people. but i'm with you, i need them to exist in my real life too! i know they're out there and they would appreciate my wackedness if they could just take their veils off, too.
