or who they're comfortable being perceived as in the eyes of the world.
One of my friends is a hardcore RW (fiscal and social) Republican and outwardly presents herself as a morally-conservative. She's actually really into having kinky anonymous trysts with strangers (men and women). Ever seen Cruel Intentions? She's Sarah Michelle Gellar's character to a tee, minus the mean-spiritedness.
Another has 90 tattoos and piercings including ones in naughty places which she talks about candidly, has a lithograph of the "Piss Christ" hanging in her living room and supplements her income as a non-nude bondage model. She is also training to be a minister and was the source of my best quip in the last week when someone got on her for her pro-gay-marriage position. "WWJD?: Cater."
A third is the mousiest, quiet, sweet, innocent-seeming girl you'll ever meet. Teaches ballet. Tells corny jokes, talks about how she wants to find a guy just like her daddy, brings me food at work "just because", cries watching Bambi every time when Bambi's mother dies and is a prolific hugger. She's also a pro-domme.
These three people are best friends to the amazement of everybody who doesn't really know them. Also, I have really strange friends and I love them just the way they are. People are complicated...uncomplicated people scare me; it means they're complicated in ways they don't feel they can share.
