“in a relationship” = in one SPECIFIC relationship defined most often by exclusivity, commitment, and a socially-sanctioned structure. should be noted that any relationships outside of romantic/sexual (most often both at the same time) don’t count.
“single” = lacking that one SPECIFIC romantic/sexual relationship.
hmm. this is silly.

a follow up question
how do you define “love” versus “in love?” do you make the distinction at all? if you, like me, don’t understand it, what do you think it’s “supposed” to communicate?

relationship ramble
though i love and adore the concept of relationship anarchy, it does make particular conversations difficult to have. the vocabulary i’ve been given around dating, sex, and love are so built on committed monogamy and a consumer-driven scarcity model - sometimes i don’t know how to talk about anything anymore.
it’s like when i studied religion at vassar - about a semester in, you...

reality cooking competitions baffle me.
that’s not to say that i don’t enjoy watching them - one of my favorite “bonding activities” with my mom is watching top chef or chopped. i’m not much of a cook, myself, but i do certainly get some odd ideas from the programs.
now, reality tv in general kinda irks and perplexes me, but the cooking shows more than others....

i forgot to mention that i held a sugar glider at mc and leo’s a few nights ago! (those of you who’ve known me for a while know that i’m mildly obsessed with the adorable fuckers.) it ate pieces of pear out of my hand! i tried very hard not to squee loudly, so as not to startle it, but i failed.
anyway, it was an almost-uncomfortably cute start to what’s shaping up to be a...

at mc and leo’s! last night was fun - went out to a diner with some new queers, then came back and chilled, swapping music suggestions and live show stories. in a few hours i’ll leave here to head to lga. flying out to missouri this evening!
it’s been four months since i’ve seen my family, but it feels like longer, for some reason. it’ll be nice to sleep in my...
there’s something really profound and uplifting about listening to sigur ros while walking through brooklyn, admiring the christmas lights.
i haven’t felt what i would call “romantic attraction” to anyone for a long while now. i still feel other kinds of attraction for folks, am interested in getting closer to some people in my life, be that intellectually, emotionally, or physically. but there’s something that’s been missing, that giddy warm feeling that rises up in your chest and makes the corners of...

i was not predicting that an intentional christian community would be so FULL OF DRAMA. i mean, i don’t know what i was expecting, exactly, but really? these people are all out of college, some have masters degrees, some in their 30s. i’ve met children more thoughtful than this. (and it’s not like i hold children in particularly high esteem, either.)
i know it’s silly to...

made the mistake of trying to explain ontological whiteness (and why it’s a problem) to one of my housemates today. wasn’t exactly the most heartening conversation.
also, i’m not nearly as good at explaining complicated theory things as i’d like to be.

why are all of the awesome queer things happening the weekend i go back to missouri?
So maybe I like being drunk? I just wanna tell everyone how much I love them. Also, an advent candle was an appropriate costume, ‘cause I’m flaming!
But, the thing about beimg drunk is that all I wanna do is call everyone I have “feelings” for. Instead, I’m posting here! Love you all.

so we hildans throw theme parties about once a month, courtesy of one of my housemates who brings an insufferable amount of energy around the idea of costumes. tonight’s theme is “advent: from the sacred to the profane.” said housemate has an awesome outfit portraying her as john the baptist, complete with crazy hair, jar of locusts, and a honey bear tied to her belt. me?...

i don’t like the way most wine tastes, but tonight i learned that if i struggle through two glasses in a relatively quick manner, the aftereffects are quite fun.

i can’t decide if i want the dreams where i have really amazing, honest conversations with people i crush on to stop. on the one hand, they’re awesome. on the other, i get so sad when i wake up.
(and on the one foot [hey, i’m out of hands, ok?], i sometimes get confused and think those conversations actually happened. which i’m sure totally makes me seem suave and...

sometimes i like being an adult
for instance, this evening i decided that i needed alcohol and pancakes, so that’s exactly what i did.
here’s to getting a bit tipsy and operating a gas stove successfully! (those of you who know me well are cringing right now, aren’t you?)

one thing about being poly: crushes/interests/being intrigued by multiple people all at once, all the time. i feel like there are very few friends that i can actually discuss all of my random “wow, i like this person a lot” thoughts with, just because i won’t be taken seriously.
there are so many beautiful, intelligent, gentle, sexy people in my life, how can i help it if...

we have a house meeting every tuesday night, mostly to check in with each other and make sure everyone is on the same page. recently, though, we’ve started it off analyzing one of the bible passages to be read in the coming sunday’s mass. this week it was the first several verses of the gospel of mark, which concern the ministry of john the baptist and his prophetic words on jesus.
