Every time I pause to write here, I ponder, and I think "my thoughts on that are not complete yet".

Which, from the outside, must look like absence when it's more like heightened presence.

So. This post is an ask-me-anything, in case there's anything you were wondering about.

Do the foster care people know that you are polyamorous?

[shadesong]

Yes, although that may be irrelevant due to my recent medical discoveries. We have to give a lot of thought to whether we can go forward on fostering, given that we now know there's a possibility of my sudden death. Kids in foster care are already traumatized, y'know?

How did you know Adam was Your Person? I know you've got a post about this somewhere, but I can't track it down.

Hm. I don't know if I have a specific post about this! It was a gradual thing

What Arisia panels are you most looking forward to?

Re: Arisia

Ugh, this sounds awful, but I have to be honest: none of them, right now? The track-manager stuff has been very stressful this year; we were told that we were getting more programming rooms/slots, but in fact we got fewer, so a lot of great stuff isn't running, and I'm really frustrated about that.

Yeah, I was wondering about that. I saw my prelim list and I wondered "hmm, what didn't make it."

We lost the entire wing by the Starbucks on the ground floor.

Thank you for checking in. :)

Since you've been in a few... well, let's just say "bad" relationships, and considering your current health situation, are you now more cautious about entering into new relationships, or less tolerant of unacceptable behavior?

Also, how are your furbabies doing? :)

[shadesong]

I am a lot more guarded, yeah. This goes into those thoughts that aren't quite fully-formed yet! But there have been a lot of deliberate choices and evaluations about relationships since Judah and Michael & Lynne.

Bash's eye is healing steadily, and all other furbabies are doing very well indeed. I should do a picture post.

You've mentioned in passing Elayna having a girlfriend. This is a GIRLFRIEND girlfriend, not just a girl friend? Did I miss a post about E coming out? Were you surprised?

Also please forgive this next one but whatever became of Spooky and Docorion? I have checked in on you a few times since then but that was around when I stopped LiveJournal.

Oh wow you are operating on a 2005 operating system.

As far as I know, they are both quite happy with other people and I am quite happy without them!

Elayna came out in middle school; I was unsurprised. She fluctuates from lesbian to bi to pan.

Also I moved to Boston, which was my third best decision ever (after having Elayna and starting up with Adam). Also I have a writing career now and stuff. A lot has changed.
