Three sentences. That's how long I lasted before tearing up. Thank you, Jolisa.

Wait! Danielle has wheels???
Choice, that will make running away with her so much easier.

there is a total
lack
of punctuation or capitalisation
its like readiing
e e cummings but
crap<quote>*applauds* I have a soft spot for cu... oh crap, there's a sentence I'd best not finish.
<quote>Yeah... I was thinking, "why is he picking on ME so much?"
I was mostly worried about you being held responsible for stuff I said.

"we don't vote for Prime Ministers. A minor point, easily missed."
Much like my name, apparently.

I should say, I'm not looking to move from having two boxes (gay, straight) to having three or four. Sexuality is a continuum, everyone's somewhere along it, and I'm not really into the whole 'you can't call yourself X because you haven't...'. To me it's much more about attraction than where you have or haven't stuck what.

i do feel concern that there seems to be more celebration in NZ over the US voting in a black president than there ever was in NZ electing a female prime minister.
Mark, we don't vote for Prime Ministers. A minor point, easily missed.

Well Emma, point taken, but today, actually, I think perhaps it's the USA again. If any of the speeches after our election on Saturday make me feel anything like this one does, I'd agree unreservedly...
Democracy is a process, dude, not an end result.

I suspect 'rejected by family/best friends' stories are the worst to hear.
What really gave me the crawls was a woman I knew at Bardic Web, proudly telling me that she and her husband were the only family members who still spoke to his gay brother - because how could they save him if they weren't talking to him?
I'd rather get ignored, thanks.

'Though, with any luck, you won't have to wait in a line for 6 hours to cast your vote.
This is what I keep thinking about. I'll go to vote, on a not-work-day, and be able to just walk straight into the booth and vote. I know I'll be on the roll. The whole thing will take five minutes. And when they've got my vote, know what they'll do with it? Count it.
Who's the world's greatest democracy now, hmm?

I have a friend who is currently in the process of coming out as bi - and they're being extremely cautious about who they tell, worrying about the reactions of people who've been their staunch friends for years. I'd assumed it was easier than that in 2008, but clearly we still have a long way to go.
Eh, sympathies. I had one friend, one from high school, who quite simply never spoke to me again. I guess it's one way of determining who your friends really are.
The actual coming out bit... is incredibly awkward. I mean, it's not the kind of thing that just naturally comes up in conversation. I think most of my friends just found out my osmosis. Though I was outed once during a game of Taboo.
