Pssst! April Fools! Apart from the fact that I've never ever heard that interpretation of anything in the bible, the text itself makes it pretty clear that no buttsex is happening between Joseph and Potiphar. Potiphar was more interested in letting Joseph run his place so he could relax. Seems so plausible, though, doesn't it?

Actually I had a hard time finding something to make a suitable Bible April Fools because there's so much legit wackiness in the bible that any exaggeration or fabrication ended up being totally implausible. There is no way to make circumcision seem more bizarre than it already is.

Anyway, to make up for the fake buttsex, a quote from 1 Samuel (I think - I typed it up before). This one is ALL REAL:

When David had finished speaking to Saul, the soul of Jonathan was bound to the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul. Saul took him that day and would not let him return to his father's house. Then Jonathan made a covenant with David, because he loved him as his own soul. Jonathan stripped himself of the robe that he was wearing, and gave it to David, and his armor, and even his sword and his bow and his belt.


But if you really want biblical gay, I'm all about Paul and Timothy.

Today as I was going up the stairs exiting the subway when I got home from work, a guy touched my ass. It really upset me. It fucking sucked. I felt really powerless - like, it wasn't a pinch or anything so i felt like he could claim it was an accident - cos it was more like he brushed against me. Except that he had just paused on the landing, and I thought he was just waiting for someone or adjusting his shoe or whatever, so I went in front of him and he immediately started up right behind me. So then afterwards I felt stupid, too, like I shouldn't have let him do that.

I just stopped short and made him go in front of me the rest of the way, but I wish I'd done something else. His pants were, like, around his knees so I thought about just hooking a belt loop and pulling them down. But I thought that would just cause more trouble than it was worth. I should have said something, though. I wish my first reaction had been to shout something.

As I said in an IM conversation earlier, it's so sickening. I was wearing a skirt, therefore he thinks he has the right to touch me. I wasn't in any danger, there were lots of people around, so it's not like I really felt threatened, and I certainly wasn't physically injured. It just left me feeling vulnerable and used for his creepy desires and disgusted and just shaken.

::sigh:: Thanks for trying to ruin my week, fucker.


Hopefully I'll bounce back, I wanna do something fun on Sunday. 80s pop songs were very helpful, as was the magnificence of Nikola Tesla. I will probably write more about him in the near future. He's like Shackleton if Shackleton was evil and a mad scientist who invented electromagnetism. By which I mean he's a historical figure who is larger than life and stranger than fiction.


Ugh. Shit. I hate the feeling that this guy thought my body was his to touch. Maybe it doesn't seem like a big deal, or maybe people have this happen to them all the time (I hope not) but it doesn't happen to me often and it sucks. And shouldn't happen.
