On the verge of something Wonderful

Three things that can be said for today. Firstly, the psychology exam was surprisingly fine and the questions were pretty nice, particularly the one on Sleep. So that's one thing straight-forwardly out of the way.
Secondly I had a moment today when I realised the power of language. Now, I didn't realise 'oh I have the power to really say whatever I like', it was more concerned with the fact that I can choose NOT to say things, and that is what is powerful. I said the F word and I thought afterwards, I have so much freedom in that I have the power to control that. And no, I didn't think it in a 'yes being able to control my tongue gives me the moral highground', but it was more that stopping yourself from saying things can often be harder than just saying them, and having the power to do that is something so wonderful and it's more the potential that this 'power' provides than anything else that just made me feel happy.

Thirdly and finally, I was reading the book 'Why men can't (or don't- one of the two) listen and women can't read maps' and half of it I found really stupid, like they're just playing with the already existing rivalry between the sexes and that actually most of it cannot be generalised and that in most of those annoying instances they were just picking. Then we read on to the sex section and I learnt a few things, mostly about what men and women want. I learned that it is ok to have oddly sounding desires or ways in which I like to be treated sexually, for example, back tickling and non-sexual contact, which the book actually mentioned. I have always thought that I don't want to tell people how I want to be touched or whatever because maybe they'd find what I like boring (i.e. just tickling my back) but I discovered that it is actually ok to have those needs and that there is no harm in telling anyone that you like that because it is common. The book kind of gave ideas of what men and women like sexually and then said that men and women should just exchange those ideas between each other. I know it's advised that couples discuss what they like in that area but I never really got it confirmed in such a way and I think it's a really good idea. It sounds cheesy and crap and perhaps embarassing (mostly because I am not good at talking so openly about sex) but actually it wouldn't be. I really have stopped believing that it would be and I feel quite liberated on a kind of small scale. It's quite nice.

General studies exam tomorrow, I am not all that nervous about it actually, especially as it is in the afternoon so I can go back over notes in the morning.

I may alter this post because I still think i want to add to that last paragraph about the book and related stuff.
