A survey and other babble.
The survey that's going around: I took it. Some of the questions, I found quite fun to answer. However, I did have some quibbles with it. I wish I had been allowed to respond that I was asexual; some of the questions presumed prior experience with sexual (or at least intimate) relationships, and I wish I had been able to indicate that I am a virgin, and that my inability to remember the place where I was first kissed was because I have never kissed anyone. I also felt a little bit thrown by the definition of slash that they appeared to be using - it seemed like the presumption involved was that slash is fic about men who could be assumed to be straight if you looked only at their textual relationships in canon, and that is not the case for some of my fandoms. And those are not the only questions I felt sort of caged by. Still, it was interesting, and the lure of the internet survey is not one I'm good at resisting.
I moved back to school today; my sister came with, because my parents both had to work. It was strange, as always. I forget every time just how easy it is to slip back into place in the dorms; it seems like such an upheaval for the summer to end, and yet when I actually am back at school, it feels like last May was just a week or two ago.
What else has happened? I saw a small frog last week when I was mowing, whom I have dubbed Littler One. The guineas are growing almost alarmingly fast, with feathers coming out everywhere. My roommate is just as bewilderingly talkative as ever.
And now I should probably go to bed, since I have an early class tomorrow.
(Morning ETA: After reading several more posts about it, I've decided that I would rather remove the reference link; I'm feeling more conflicted, and less like signal-boosting.)
