Here's a thing about Canada and hockey and etc: [link]

Rene Rancourt is a Boston Garden Legend. Age Unknown, he has been singing the American and the Canadian National Anthems before Bruins games for 35 years. He is, quite frankly, The Man. In 2004, the Bruins' rivalry with the Montreal Canadians mixed in with politics in the first round of the playoffs. Montreal fans brutally booed the U.S. National Anthem during the first two games of the First Round of the Playoffs. In response, the Boston fans stood and cheered and knocked together those horrible thundersticks during Rancourt's stirring version of the Canadian National Anthem. I'm telling you, Rene Rancourt makes grown men cry with his Anthem singing. You may have heard the song a million times, but that dude bangs it out. I'm a much bigger fan of the Canadian National Anthem than the American National Anthem. I'm hoping at some point the U.S. could have an American Idol-like show in which we try to write a better National Anthem and everyone gets to vote. "American Anthem?" Janet Jones Gretzky could be a judge for symmetry's sake.

aromantic sexual

That makes me think of a sexual person who smells really good. Which is not a bad thing.

C Montreal, F Toronto, M Vancouver. I like large bodies of water.

Montreal is an island. It can do large bodies of water.

I can't work out what to have for lunch.

It's an island in a river. My standards for large bodies of water were set by Lake Huron.

I think so. My POV is more demisexual -- I have The Sex with Tim, and actually *want* to. I have a hard time calling it "sexual attraction," though, because it's more that I want to have sex with him because he's *him,* not because of...whatever it is that happens when people are sexually attracted to each other.

That makes more sense to me than almost anything else I've ever heard. I don't really get things like affairs, because for me that would mean my whole relationship with Matt had changed.

and now my brain is all twisted around how to express this

huh

Remind me not to get into debates on Twitter. Because trying to explain to people that having a Plan B in case you aren't able to support yourself as an ARTEEST following your bliss is NOT setting yourself up to fail will lead to me losing my temper.

Personally, I'd rather not have to have a dayjob. But I like being able to pay bills and have health insurance, and not having those things makes me worry so much that I can't concentrate on my creative projects.

I find this a really fascinating discussion. As this is a fairly new topic to me, I'm trying to understand and ask this in all sincerity, no snarkiness implied whatsoever. How is this different from sexual attraction? I understand the personality is the source of your desire for Tim, but, if I'm reading this correctly, you *have* a sexual attraction to Tim.

And, doesn't personality affect sexual attraction for most people? I can find a guy sexually attractive, get to know him, and get turned right off because his personality is repellant. Or vice versa.

Because you're a grown-up.

But I can find a guy sexually attractive without knowing anything about his personality at all, and I'll bet Steph can't.

It's a really big river? With whales?
