'Sex addict' boyfriend & a bad break up...

I have always preferred places where they try to keep you out. The Welcome Mat puts me off. It's reading Mailer I think but experience also.

How does Norman Mailer's writing enter in?

And you're an American??

Technically...no. Though I have spent a few years here.

edit:When I ask you a question, do you see an opportunity to diminish me? Or an opportunity to puff yourself up?

edit: I guess maybe both

Your question pan required a very long answer. I was neither trying to diminish you nor puff myself up. The probation officer was trying to puff himself up and forgetting the damsel in distress.
