So sorry to hear that darkangel.

My aunt is getting over cancer and she's not exactly following the doctor's orders. She keeps getting dehydrated. She's in North Carolina so I can't go visit her.

When I was younger, I used to be chuffed if some child or shop assistant called me, "that lady". Now that I'm a little older, it's started to work the other way - yesterday, I heard the manager in the bar where I work describing me as "the kid over there, with the red hair." It made me happy.

I'm only fucking 21. *laments becoming a part of the youth-worshipping culture*

Other then that I'm peachy fucking keen.
I wish I had more access to the internet and more time these days. I really would like to have been able to respond to this sooner.

Sanctus, it cuts me to the quick to hear you struggle so. As you may remember, I went through 6 months of frustrating job searching recently until I finally landed a pretty decent job. So at least on that front, you know you have my utter empathy.

I also have to say that when I moved to Houston over 5 years ago, I was here for 3 months, had just started working and did not have health insurance when I fell deathly ill. I ended up in the hospital for 13 days after never being seriously sick a day in my life. A lung full of fluid, a chest wall covered with infected matter and a complicated thoracic surgery that was touch and go for a while left me alive but over $100,000.00 in debt. But you know what? The key word there is ALIVE. So I'm working off the debt and smelling the clean, sweet air of life evey day with new appreciation. I'm not saying it's easy, I'm just saying it is so, so, so much better than the alternative.

So if the ear keeps giving you grief, march your butt down to the emergency room and make them treat you. Worry about the details of insurance and money later. I want to strongly encourage you to do this, as 3 days with no hearing sounds pretty serious to me.

I wish I'd seen this sooner so I could tell you how sorry I am that this is happening. I want to tell you I wish things were going better. I wish I could give you a big hug. I can tell you that I and a lot of other people at Gnet are here for you. PM me if you would like, if you just want to talk or if you think I can be of any help in any way.

Queen, Many people here have chimed in, and I've seen them offer you some pretty good advice. I will just add two points.

First, yes, it is perfectly okay to ask yourself these kind of questions. And just remember there are no wrong answers. And you might not get the whole answer today. Self-discovery is a lifelong process, and hopefully if you have the wisdom to continue to reflect on yourself all your life, you will still be learing things about yourself all your life. So don't expect to figure this all out right away. It usually doesn't work that way.

Second, let me set an example based on what you've said so far. Let's suppose that you conclude that you would like to be able to enjoy sex with boys and girls, but only feel you could fall in love with boys. Be up front about that with people. If you are interested in a girl, tell her you like to play, but aren't looking for romance. If your dating a guy that you care about but want to be able to experiment too, tell him that and tell him you are not looking for romance. Chances are good if he's secure in your relationship, he may be interested in playing too. Maybe not, or maybe you won't be interested in that, but the point I'm making is that you are honest up front, it will work out.

I have had open relationships and I have had long tern friendships with women where we hung out as pals and had sex but were clear with each other that we were not looking for romance at that point. The key to all of this was complete honesty up front.

Don't be afraid of asking these questions. Do be true to yourself. There are enough tragedies and troubles in this life ... do not make yourself miserable over this.

Just my two cents ... er, two dollars worth. Know that I think the world of you, and know enough about you to feel confident that you will make smart choices.

Oh my God... All this^ for me??? I love you Ben!
Thanks a lot for saying that. I told my close friends about it and they're all Ok with it. I was so worried about how they'd react. I'm glad I got it off my chest. Now about the sex thing, I'll have to keep everything you told me in my mind since I'm not going to be doing it anytime soon! hehe. I seriously need to experiment a little bit. I hope the boyo doesn't mind ( Ohh wait, he's too busy thinking about his stash! O.o) All I have to do is find someone who's ready to fool around.
Again, thank you for the sweet things you just said, you rock my world! *hugs*

I have the same problem with your avatar, Ben.

"write meaningful response, i before e except after c, damn she moves well..."

"Is grammer correct, punctuation right, spelling, boobies..."

Fuck. It takes me 15 minutes to write a 2 minute response.

Morrigan, I never saw that Bill Hicks quote before, but I like it! And it's all too true.

Oh, the monotony of human predictability.

I'm sitting in a common break area at work, and one by one as people come in they all say, "Ooh, somebody burned some popcorn."

I've heard the exact same sentence at least six times. *sigh*
