Megan "In fact, if I were a member of the Christian right, sitting on my front porch decrying the decadent morals of working American women, what would be most alarming about the Fifty Shades of Grey phenomina, what gives it its true edge of desperation, and end-of-the-world ambience, is taht millions of otherwise intellegent women are willing to tolerate prose on this level. If you are willing to slog through sentences like, "In spite of my poignant sadness, I laugh," or "My world is crumbling around me into a sterile pile of ashes, all my hopes and dreams cruelly dashed," you must really, really want to get to the submissive sex scene"
HAHAHA =)

Megan Changed my pic last night, wanted to leave my old pic in with my other photos, but somehow it ended up being deleted :(

Yeah, I have noticed there are a lot of Megan's on GR! When I started getting more friend requests & followers I took off my last name & location, but that anonymity has both positive and negative results.

I am always so afraid to change my profie pic on here ~ since none of us really "knows" each other, a little switch can throw everything off, lol. It can be so confusing when photos are changed here.

Megan That's true, we can't mistake you for someone else! :) I started out on GR with a cartoon monkey pic, but wanted something more serious ~ so changed it to a real pic of me.
