Nope, I think you're totally right. It is a mass of contradictions, all mixed up together. And I make no claims to understanding it; for one thing, it's huge. So many different kinds of culture, and going back for thousands of years. It's OLD. Too much for mortal mind to wholly compass I think.
It's the prerogative of older, more exciting family members to corrupt their slightly-youngers.
*laughs* yep! And I'm having a blast doing so. I just wasn't...uh... expecting the older generation to, you know, be able to predict it. I guess my reputation precedes me? I think they think I've got some kind of dark, decadent, opium den/brothel set up going on here. I wish!
Let me hope they never, uh, find my blog. Then they'd be SURE.
