You're not heterosexual and planning to get married and live in the suburbs with a husband named 'Norm' and 2.5 kids and a dog? EVERYTHING I KNOW ABOUT THE UNIVERSE IS A LIE.

For real, I'm glad you're not-straight. Because you are too much goodness to confine to one group. Like excellent cheesecake, everybody should enjoy you (at your own whims, of course).

Even from an electronic distance, I certainly do. *hugsnuggle* Keep being your amazing self.

Well, I'm planning on getting married (though ask me tomorrow and that might change) and live in the suburbs with either a husband named Norm or a wife named Norma. The dog is almost a given but the 2.5 kids... well I'm still not sure about them either (ask me tomorrow).

*grins* Excellent cheesecake huh? I AM creamy AND delicious! ;)

I have promised myself that I am traveling next year as much as I can because I have friends I need to see. Wanna be put on the list?

You know, I've used that "Unless I'm fucking YOU it's none of your business" line. Though it was regarding coworkers who were endlessly fascinated by who I was, indeed, fucking.

I'm not sure mom's come to understand that love is love is love but she doesn't twitch if my relationship configurations are different than standard. I'm sure she'd still be thrilled if I settled down with a nice penis and had a family. And you know, not a nice penis and a vagina. But she's learning.

Bless you, dear. I'm sorry your mom's reaction wasn't what you'd hoped; it took a huge amount of bravery to tell her. I hope she's reached a level of understanding so you can continue a relationship with her. And as for the rest of us, I'm glad you're comfortable enough with us to talk about it. No one should ever have to hide who they are, not for safety, career, family or love. Never.

It was strange, considering my mom had a better reaction to finding out that friend in college was gay. I chalk it up to "not my daughter" syndrome. She's... better. Still not entirely comfortable with unusual relationship configurations but I think she's learned that it doesn't matter what she's comfortable with or not; it's my life and I'm living it how I choose.

Thank you for commenting.

Not straight, you say? Fascinating. That would explain the dating girls part. I knew it was something. I think I was far too swamped to come out yesterday. Do I have to wait until next year to do it, or can I keep the pasta maker anyway?

Nope, not-straight. I'm a bit crooked, twisted, kinky... well you knew that. CURVY! I like that. I'm not-straight I'm curvy. It applies in so many ways. It explains a lot more than the dating girls part ;)

You can keep the pasta maker anyway. Lesbians don't need it ;)

Speaking as a non-straight girl who happens to be married to a man, living in the suburbs and has 2 kids (no .5 for me thanks - unless my room mate counts!) I have to say that was a beautiful post. It reminded me a lot of me, which of course isn't surprising since you and I have always had a lot in common.

Just wanted to send you hugs and tell you I miss you! *smooches*
