come one, come all

Someone on damnportlanders is asking for sperm and I'll be honest with you, I almost volunteered. Spur of the moment. Sure, test me, put my genetics out there. I think I've got good genes, I come from smart stock and I come from stable stock, and I'm no Billy Dee Williams but I'm far from hideous (if I do say so myself)... and who knows if I'll breed or not. The thought of financial recompense doesn't hurt the deal.

I would have done it. But the more I thought about it, the more the future of it scared me. Not the emotional responsibility of having someone in the world who may one day want to meet me (that doesn't really scare me) but the possible legal and financial responsibilities of it. How's that work? Am I guaranteed to never owe anyone a penny for anything once I've give you my jism? The not knowing kept me from sharing.

Probably this is the kind of reaction other people have immediately, a normal and/or healthy reaction to the kind of thing like strangers on the internet asking for your sperm. For me it's an afterthought. This is why I have to avoid eBay like the plague.

Or else I will sell my sperm.

I am closing in on the goal of a finished grant proposal. You will probably think this is great news, because if you've talked to me at all in the last three days you know how panicked and stressed-out/grumpy I've been because of it, but in fact the closer I get the less confident I am about all of it.

I will probably write more on that later. For now though: I almost gave away my sperm.

P.S. Yeah, that's right. I needed an example of beautiful, and I chose Billy Dee. You gonna argue with me? The man's a good-looking man.
