“One question, how did you get into this sort of column anyways?“
This is a question that I get asked surprisingly often. In fact, to me, this is a rather tedious question. Maybe other sites/blogs/columns have more interesting creation stories, but I think mine is pretty simple. It goes something like this:
Friend A: Hey Shay do you want to come to a volunteer meeting at the university newspaper? There’s free pizza.
me: ok
me [to the editor]: Whatever happened to the paper’s sex column?
Editor: Those girls graduated. Do you want to write it?
me: sure!
a few months later
Friend D: Shay, how come the paper doesn’t have your column in their online archives? I want to show my friend your article on cock rings.
me: oh, I guess I could make an online archive.
Voila. This is how the S Spot started (you’ll find this story told another way here). Obviously it has become much more than an online archive of my newspaper columns – and this is a direct result of me having more to say and of you guys, coming here to read me. ^_~
What, are you disappointed? Did you have some other version of The S Spot’s creation imagined?
the way to shay’s heart is through pizza!
Disappointed!
No way, Shay!
(Did the pizza have toppings?~~That’s what I wanna know.)
I’m so glad you went to that meeting. Next time, Pepperomi!!
xx,BB/cain. bottomsUp!
Friend A: “Hey Shay, you wanna come to a meeting at the school newspaper? There’s free pizza!”
Shay: “I dunno, I’m so close to cracking this time travel issue…”
Friend A: “C’mon, it’ll be fun… and ArtfulDodger’ll be there. (knowing wink)”
Shay: “Cool beans.”
(Skip to meeting)
Editor: “Oh whoa is us, our Sex Columnist has been taken by aliens! The paper goes to press tonight and this campus has no sexual guide, what ever shall we do?!” (Nashing teeth)
ArtfulDodger: “Hey Shay, did you hear that? I bet you could write rings around that old sex columnist coot.”
Shay: “Me? But, but my Doctorate in RNA Replication in Suborbital Hemotropical Ganges Reptiles!”
ArtfulDodger: “I know, but you’re almost finished with it… and this could be fun. No one I know knows more about human sexuality than you.”
Shay: “Gee, you really think so?”
Art: “Gosh, everyone knows that. Remember when you helped me find the G-Spot?”
Editor: “Oh Shay, please say yes, we need your sexual wisdom!”
Everyone: “Yeah Shay!!”
Shay: “Gosh darn it, I’ll do it!”
And the rest, as they say, is history.
No, not really. For the most part, that’s how I get involved with all sorts of stuff I don’t mean to- free pizza.
<3
This may be the best thing to ever come from a university newspaper.
Exile – haha sad but true ^_~ esp chicken brushetta pizza.
Cain – what kind of a meeting would order pizzas with no toppings!?
Art – haha! I love that version the best! Do you think I can put “sexually wise” on my resume?
Anon – free pizza is hard to pass up!
Holy – why thank you. ^_^
Umm..ya got me there!
:)~~just keep writing,k?
