I always think of Captain Jack's (TW) "You people and your quaint little categories"

My basic take on it is that the only people who get to have an opinion on how I define/label my sexuality are the people who it DIRECTLY affects. Like, in a sexytimes way. And that's all.

Word and word.

Personally, I can't think of a single person I know who identifies as bi who didn't end up going penis in the long term. But that's a very small sample size so it's not very meaningful.

Speaking just for myself, Gud, but pretty sure some other buffistas will concur based on past conversations, if I marry a man and never have sex with a woman again I will still consider myself bisexual.

Yes, indeed!!

I thought about you last night! When I was channel surfing, I saw a listing for an ep of Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations that he filmed there.

I was supposed to have the paperwork to sign on my car yesterday morning. I still do not have it.

ION - We, my boss and I, are going to speak to HR about delaying my departure date. Therfore extending my time as a full employee. I would be working remotely only, but putting in 25 hours a week until a replacement was hired and trained. That might extend my health coverage into August which would be AWESOME!

Yup. I'd link to the Pride Day post a friend made last year, but I'd have to remember the URL for that. Suffice it to say, at least when I was still dating, it was a LOT harder to find a woman who'd even date me, let alone want to date me for an extended period of time, let alone want to date me for an extended period of time AND who had the right chemistry with me. (Things I strongly suspect: had I had fandom back in the day, I'd probably be with a woman.)

Married a man (5 years! Whoa!). Monogamous. Yep, still bi.

Cute butches are thin on the ground in my age group and highly coveted. ::sigh:: My OKC messages from women are mostly married chicks in open relationships or who want to step out, despite my explicit "not interested in poly" disclaimer.

he pronounces it New Orleeenz

No such place. There's an Orleeenz Parish, but no city by that name.

I heard Nawlins and Norlins fairly interchangeably. Is one considered more correct/hipper/proper?

It's been a long time since I was there. But "Nawlins" was hip, "Norlins" (or "New Oar-lunz") was perfectly acceptable and "normal", "New OR-lee-unz" was for the older and more proper crowd.

Norlins

This is probably the closest to how I and my family pronounce it. Except maybe more like N'worlins.

I think my observation was misunderstood. Of the people I know in a long-term monogamous relationship who identify as bi, all are with a man. Not a point, because the sample size too small to mean anything (like saying the cool fall in my town last year meant global warming is a hoax). However, if there are a lot of people like me who, for whatever reason, experience the same thing maybe that's the reason for the idea that there's really not such a thing as bi.

But "Nawlins" was hip

I find it kind of irritating, unless you're Frank Davis.

t /reference only three people will get, maybe
