do you know how christmas trees are grown

[theladyrose]

I am still alive, but mostly I have been spending a lot of time with my family and visiting friends I haven't seen for months. Actually, there's been a lot going on with the family. That, and I'm finally paying off my sleep debt. I've grown terribly lazy in getting around to correspondence, so yes, it is all my fault for the slow replies.

I swear I'll come up with a real update later. December's always been an ambivalent month for me; I'm either really squee-ing into the holiday spiritor am dodging the Great Frying Pan of Doom that periodically whacks me over the head. And now I'm going to avoid using a really bad transformed sine wave metaphor to describe fate and emotions and whatnot.

I have promised myself that I will come out to my parents about being asexual by the end of the week. Or maybe the end of the year. My mother and I had an interesting conversation about my having kids last night, but I was too nervous to bring up the asexual thing then. I guess that's my pre-New Year's resolution. I'm in San Francisco visiting my godparents until Friday, so if you need to reach me you're best off calling my cell phone number.

Good luck to you. I'm in God country and I've found it more comfortable to keep my mouth shut. I can't believe some of the things people have said to me... Ugh! My Mother is an accepting person but the honest truth is, in this matter, she sees me as having a disorder. Which can cause uncharacteristic friction between us sometimes because I really resent that - Even though she doesn't have a *problem* with it and I don't really care what she thinks as long as she leaves me along, I'm still *wrong* somehow.

I don't know how much of an issue this is for you or if you have support, but please feel free to email me if you need someone to vent to.

From personal experience: I've known three asexual people (who were that way for years)... and now they're three of the biggest perverts I know. I wonder if there's a sex-fiend buried in you somewhere. Anyway, Goodluck...coming out to your family, I guess (now there's a phrase I never thought I'd say to you *laughs*) I received your letter, by the way. Thank you. I keep it next to my bed, right where it belongs.

Hullo, I've friended you as we seem to share several interests, and I feel the need to expand my f-list. :D
You would probably best get an idea of who I am from my lj entries and interests list, as I have many interests. Shortest said, I am mad as a box of frogs.
