About Me
- Name: Aunt B
- Location: Nashville, Tennessee, United States
Like Donnell Alexander says, "It's about completing the task of living with enough spontaneity to splurge some of it on bystanders, to share with others working through their own travails a little of your bonus life." But, it's mostly the kind of place that folks looking for "girls and cars" stumble across by accident.

THE CAST OF CHARACTERS
Aunt B.--Your kind host.The Butcher--My youngest brother, who lives with me and works as, you guessed it, a butcher. He knows everyone in town.
The Recalcitrant Brother--Our middle brother, who lives in rural Georgia and has a kind of movie star life, if that movie star is Burt Reynolds in Deliverance.
The Reverend--Our Dad, a Methodist minister, perpetually three years from retirement.
Mom--Our Mom. She doesn't get a funny nickname because our mom will not stand for funny nicknames.
Mrs. Wigglebottom--My dog. She's got terrible manners.
The Corporate Shill--Or The Shill, as we call her. My friend from college who was constantly getting me into trouble and going to parties she neglected to tell me about where cute boys would ask her "Where's Aunt B.?"
The Legal Eagle--The Shill's husband.
The Super Genius--She lived next door to me my freshman year of college and we've been friends ever since my first day on the floor.
Miss J.--My first adult friend, meaning the first lasting friendship I made after college. She was my roommate in grad school.
Her Lover--Her Husband.
The Divine Ms. B.--Miss J.'s sister and one of my heroes, because she's brave and funny and mystic and fearless.
JR--My oldest friend. I've known her since I was in the second grade.
Elias--JR's husband and the person who's musical tastes have most strongly affected my own. Oh, how I long to be cooler than him!
The Professor--My closest friend here in Nashville. She's a genius, but she'll never tell you that.
The Man from GM--I've known him since I was 16 and he still hasn't forgiven me for telling him I was a vegetarian when I wasn't.
The Redheaded Kid--No one knows where he comes from or where he goes when he leaves here. I assume he's the Butcher's friend. The Butcher assumes he's mine.

That whole "wrong-headed political beliefs" thing is really about my ever-so-fun teasing, linking you with the witches coven, isn't it?
C'mon, admit it.
Hey, I let you take my virginity, for cryin' out loud! That alone should at least be worth a link, especially since you didn't buy me dinner or nothin'
You show up in a cute dress, I'll buy you dinner.
hells bells, to be linked on the redoubtable Aunt B site, I'll pay for the dinner, cute dress or no.
What's with you feminists and trying to get men into dresses? Are you trying to emasculate them? Is it penis envy?
Or is this just another attempt to see my package, because if that's it, I'll have to say "no" a few times before I can say "yes".
Of course, I don't speak for all feminists (well, I do, every first Tuesday of the month--then I'm the official feminist spokesperson; otherwise, it's just me speaking for me), but I find a man comfortable enough in his own skin and his own masculinity that he can fuck around with gender roles to be very hot.
And considering that conservative boys have so much to overcome in the "not so hot" arena, I thought you could use all the help you could get.
I, alas, also have utterly wrong-headed political beliefs. But I'm also not above begging for se...
...for a link.
I also forget to provide links.
