However, I also don't like an emphasis on Puritanical propriety or keeping up with the Jones's which I also throw into the WASP cultural basket because I find both of these tendencies lead to things that bore me also. Like gated communities with generic landscaping and repressed sexuality.
Sounds like a pretty broad generalization to me. I think you could find a lot of WASPs behind those gated communities who lead an exciting and sex filled life, without heavy drinking.
The problem was that he was "too" attractive to me if I thought about the sexy things for which he was semi-famous. I wanted to just see him for who he was and I could much of the time but the combination of the great sex and ego-gratification gave me too much of a chemical buzz.
So what are you saying... you couldn't handle it? What did driving into the inner city part of Detroit have to do with this? Did being in the inner city somehow negate your decision chemical buzz?
