I had forgotten that John Dehlin had set up an account here. What a shame he doesn't post. I wonder if he lurks.

Considering the made up character is a former college softball player, there could have been far worse websites, I mean stereotypically speaking.

I don't think she is but I was practicing my game on a girl at the bus stop a couple of months ago. She said, "I'm a dyke." Now I grew up in SF but I haven't heard that word for so long and thought it was pejorative.

I told her I didn't know anything about gays cuz I was Mormon. She said, "I am too." Turns out she grew up in the church.

She said she's had to be really mean with guys to tell them to bug off. She also said, "Some guys think 'Lesbian! Exciting!'" She said "I'm not that kind of a lesbian." I didn't know what that meant.

It means that she genuinely prefers carpet munching to riding on the ol bologny pony.

In some ways I can empathize...not that I can make any genuine comparisons...How about them Celtics?

The 5 podcast interviews with Dr. Bushman linked at the end of that essay were great. I could listen to him talk all day.
