wow! what a powerful inbox of e-mails i just read from you folk. my 2 cents on the whole thing: why do so many people view what other people do in bed (or various other generally private locations) as such a threat? i'm another one of those canadians on the list and we have some bill now that will give common law gay and lesbian couples the same rights as common law opposite sex couples. maybe i don't watch the news much but i haven't seen/heard anyone complaining about it. the second cent: one of my friends from psych gave a presentation in our seminar class yesterday on growing up gay. it was to give everyone an idea of the research that's been done. it seems that educating children/teens in schools about homosexuality (realistically, like using protection and such) actually will decrease the transmission of stds among other benefits. it's a lot like putting condom machines in schools. give everyone the right tools and they will then be able to make an informed choice. ok, no more about that.. i could go on and on... i would like to retract my earlier statement that all girls want is total adoration. i don't know what we want. i am begining to think that i just want whatever i can't have. i am going to visit the b/f in a bit over a week. i am scared. i feel like being apart i can see more clearly. i am there for over a week and i have severe doubts that we are still going to be a couple at the end of it. anyone know how to deal with a situ like that? i mean what if we break-up midweek? i don't know anyone in ottawa. how awkward would that be if i had to stay for the rest of the time?! i can't not go b/c i need to see him before making a decision. it's as if he listens to nothing i say and just says "i love you" we can't have a converstion b/c everytime i get started talking about something he responds "i love you". i want a boy who i can have philosophical discussions with. he's never taken a philo course and refuses to get into them with me. i used to think that we had the same values but i think it's just that i have values to which he doesn't object. sorry for blabing this to you all. needed to get it out and since none of you know me i feel safe. thanks to anyone who read all this. hugs and kisses, di "i respect those who have faith even though they are ignorant" -hemingway +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
