Hey Scribbled! I dunno, people seem to generally think I'm at least not straight. I've just given up on labels completely, because I can never find one that fits. I am a human being, and I like people, and that's short and simple enough for me. I've never really fit in with the typical lgbt kids, but I don't fit with the typical straight kids either, so I'll just find the weirdos and hang out with them instead. Good enough for me. :)

You don't have to be transphobic just because you're not attracted to trans people. And that sounds like a sane way to think about it.. I spent years trying to figure out all these labels myself. Part of me thinks now that it was such a waste of time, but a part of me is glad because I learned a lot while figuring things out.

I have to endure my grandmother tomorrow. It wouldn't be so bad if she weren't really bitter about me not spending more time with her. And her really hating my haircut/colours. A, I'm 22, I'm enjoying life, I don't think it's really that selfish that I'd rather spend time with friends than my grandparents, even though I love them, and B, it's one thing if you don't like it, but you don't have to spend five minutes telling me how terribly ugly it is. Ugh. I can just imagine trying to explain the way I think to her now.. stuff like gender and sexuality or just the way I see other people and the world. ...actually, I should stop trying to imagine it, or I'll just get anxious and ticked off. Should probably just try to sleep so that I'll have enough energy tomorrow.

Scribbled: Aw man. I can never understand how people that are open enough to be pansexual can be closed minded enough to think that way. I hate that whole "holier than thou" attitude. I mean.. sure, if I am to be honest, I think I'm pretty lucky to be so open-minded, and I often wish everyone thought the same way. But in reality, I do accept that people have different tastes. All I can do is hope that at least people are not labelling themselves as one thing just because they're too close minded to try anything else (and it doesn't sound like you are). I'm sorry you've had to get comments like that. :/

I love sitting down and trying to figure myself out, I do it regularly and write a blog post down usually where I pour out my thoughts. It helps get them in order, and talking about things to others really helps to figure things out, even if you're the only one doing the talking. :lol: I think it's healthy, taking a really good look at yourself every now and then, to get to know yourself better. No matter how often you do it too, because we're always changing as we experience new things, so we're never quite the same person.

And hehe, thanks. *hug* I think my hair rocks, so I don't really care what other people think. *grins* She's just a little bitter because she feels like she doesn't get enough attention from her children and grandchildren - I guess she's lonely, even though she always seems to be meeting people. Ah well. It'll be fine spending a few hours with her.


Ribs: I dunno. I was for sure able to tell I fancied girls and boys before I started dating, and now I know I like everyone else as well without having been involved with anyone outside the gender binary. Sure, I've come to the conclusion now that I prefer sex with guys to girls, but I still fancy them.


scholar: Oh, wow. I've heard a few stories similar to yours. What did you do after you found out? If you'll allow me to be nosy.. :3

Aw, yes, Scribbled has got it right.. it's got all the ingredients for a queer romance drama. >.<
I think polyamory is fascinating, and definitely something I support though I've never been in a poly relationship. I can't identify with it at the moment though since I'm just completely against getting into a serious relationship at all, poly or no. Though I think if I were to get tricked into a relationship, if I found someone really special, I would probably have to insist we try keeping it open.
I wasn't aware there was a poly thread on Mene..

I used to think women were too complicated and didn't want to be in relationships with them. Then I realised men were way complicated as well, so now I don't want relationships with anyone. :P

Also, the link in your sig doesn't seem to work, Estrelle. It just links me back to tinyurl.com, I have to change the link in the address bar to get to the charity.

Hey King. What's keeping you from being "normal"? Anyway, I don't recommend it.. it takes all the fun out of life!

Estrella, yep it works now! And too bad about the limited uh, selection. I live in a small city that's very open minded and full of beautiful people part of the year, the rest I live in London which is just full of all kinds of meat people.

Once upon a time I wanted to be normal. Then I realised how boring and restrictive it is. I don't think I could ever go back to that now that I've tried being free. Sure it's easy and comfortable, but just so not worth it.
