Nineteen through 21

19. What do relationships mean to you?
Y'know, I don't know. That word must mean something to me, though. I think it has "implications" of some kind because I feel squicked thinking about myself attaching that word to the word "family".

Ok, so I guess to me, they... Goddamn, I don't know. Honest, I can't answer this question. I don't know what you're asking or what you mean by that, and the more I try to think about it, the more annoyed I become. I don't know what you're asking. There's your answer. Relationships means "leave me alone".

Tumblr decided to break down, so I'll just borrow the questions from another site. This might be another "too annoying to continue" day. But I do like her site. It's cheering me up a lot reading her Child-Free stuff.

20. Tell us about your partner(s). If you are not in a relationship, tell us about your best friend(s).

That'd probably be J-Virgo and Zero. I've known Zero for (what is it now?) twelve, maybe even fourteen years. Since we were 11 and 12. We really grew up together, and we had more than one strech of "I'm not talking to you" but in the end, we always got back together as friends.

Not much to say about our friendship that doesn't sound whiny and emo, but we met at day camp and bonded over anime (this was in 1996, when anime was anything but easily accessible, by the way) and over not being "the cool kids". Zero helps me... live. Really. I would be too overwhelmed to do little things like learn to order cable and internet, pay a bill, use a credit card, look for a house/job. Zero makes me unafraid.

J-Virgo I met in college and we bonded hardcore over astrology. Most of our friendship consists of fighting (not real fighting, arguing) in front of people, but when we're alone, it's all snarky bonding.

21. Your favorite asexual quote.
While googling, I remembered Ardal O'Hanlon had my all time favorite. Especially that last sentence.

But luckily, I have no interest in sex at all. Y'know, it's so undignified really, isn't it? Attaching yourself to another human being like that. And making all those faces. Surely there must be a more dignified way to express your love and admiration for another human being. Y'know, like baking them a nice cake or something. Or just leaving them alone for awhile.


22. What do you believe causes asexuality?
Superior genes
A beta version of a higher step in the evolution of intelligence
Overpopulation

Million billion people + Law of Averages. If every person born equals ten dice rolled for sexuality, with, say, 1 equaling "no interest in this aspect of coupling" then eventually you're going to come up with a roll that's all ones, or ones and twos.
