Thanks for saying so. I can't possibly handle kids, not even doing the process that makes them - really! That part is creepy for me, very hard to relate just how much - probably as bad as the thought of you getting inked like I did.

So I have to say this is kinda my "Sun Dance" of pain in consideration for what you and my other straight friends have to go through in life, this pain and bleeding is just symbolic in comparison.

And the actual symbol just memorializes the catalyst that pushed me closer to you in the first place, the games, the FRPGs, for without those roles I played, I might have not found my way to the mucks and IRCs and so forth.
