Oh, and I wanted to be Katchoo from Strangers in Paradise because I thought she was really fucking cool.
HOLY SHIT. ME TOO.
Except I was torn between wanting to be her and wanting to be with her. And wanting to be with Francine. Or both of them at the same time. GOD DAMN IT.
Oh hell yeah. I'm still infinitely curious as to what her special "Baby June" technique was. You know, the one to which Moore repeatedly alluded but maddeningly refused to disclose.
At the same time, I sympathize more with Francine and David regarding their approaches to sex - their believing that sex is this beautiful, magical, special experience - whereas Katchoo accepts that, but doesn't necessarily understand it because of the abuse, betrayal and desertion she has experienced in connection with sex. It's complicated.

I...what?
Somethin' wrong with me.
