Pet what I want (6 May 1994)

I want a cat that thinks it's a dog. I want a fuzzy cat, but not long-haired, in a sort of relaxing light orange color. I want a cat built like my friend Jeff's cat, Sunshine, except one that doesn't drool so much, and with the personality of a big happy dog. I want a cat that is not attitude. I want a cat that wants to jump around and lick you and is thrilled just to be allowed to sit on your lap. I like the abject lack of pride in dogs, but their size is a problem and I hate their tongues. I want fierce loyalty and shamelessly idiotic bounding happiness in a package I can easily pick up (and oh, the joy it would experience at BEING picked up!) and sit on my lap. Can't do that with your friendly neighborhood Malamute. I want a cat that would love to go for walks, that gets off on sticking its head out the window of a moving car, that demands attention without being pissy about it.

I am a cat person, but I want a cat that thinks it's a dog. Of course, if I had one, I would probably become utterly bored with it after a very short while. Perhaps I am a cat person because cats think they are cats, not dogs.

Girlfriend what I want (12 May 1994)

I want a girl that thinks she's a boy. I want a fuzzy girl, but not long-haired, in a sort of relaxing light orange color. I want a girl built like my friend Jeff's girl, Sunshine, except one that doesn't drool so much, and with the personality of a big happy boy. I want a girl that is not attitude. I want a girl that wants to jump around and lick you and is thrilled just to be allowed to sit on your lap. I like the abject lack of pride in boys, but their size is a problem and I hate their tongues. I want fierce loyalty and shamelessly idiotic bounding happiness in a package I can easily pick up (and oh, the joy she would experience at BEING picked up!) and sit on my lap. Can't do that with your friendly neighborhood football player. I want a girl that would love to go for walks, that gets off on sticking her head out the window of a moving car, that demands attention without being pissy about it.

I am a girl person, but I want a girl that thinks she's a boy. Of course, if I had one, I would probably become utterly bored with her after a very short while. Perhaps I'm a girl person because girls think they are girls, not boys.

That depends. How weird is the sex you want to talk about?
