Some of us appreciate cheesy. ;) Welcome, and congratulations on finally stepping out from that shadow.

I left because there was abuse and toxicity. She has been sincerely remorseful and trying to better herself, which has made us amicable co-parents but too little too late to save the relationship. We're really not a good match (outside of maybe the bedroom and even then we're definitely not...

Once I'm in a more stable position, maybe I'll bug my dad for access to his. Every time I've tried the "just cancel first" it never works. I have been taking movies from the library lately, but I'm working on catching up on the MCU first, and a lot of places don't have the most most recent...

New movie? Are you talking Star Wars? It's true George Lucas' Star Wars is my favorite of favorite things, but I can take or leave Expanded Universe. A lot of it doesn't seem to "get" Star Wars, and the only Disney one I've seen so far is Force Awakens. I will see the rest eventually so I can...

Had my first decent conversation via OKC earlier. It wasn't much, just a pleasant sort of "getting to know you" introduction to an introduction. But it felt good, but also very anxiety-inducing. I found myself getting excited like a puppy that someone - anyone - was talking to me and getting...

Update: LabRat LOVES her T. rex One issue I'm finding with OKC is that I have myself set for "15 miles away or less" yet all the potential matches I keep getting sent are in Boston or farther. Though I guess that has less to do with OKC and more to do with Rhode Island just sucking hard. Which...

Congratulations on your new journey, and good luck! This is quite a friendly bunch, I think you're in good hands!

Wow. There's all KINDS of things wrong with what you just said. Like, there is some deep-seated misogyny and sex-negativity in there for starters. Perhaps sprinkled with a dash of nationalistic subtext, since this completely normal and healthy lifestyle you have framed as unfortunate is...

Yes, and thank you. Tsunami is very healthy and doing very well, which is a relief compared to what LabRat goes through (and I swear that nickname is 1,000,000% more affectionate and meaningful than it sounds - can't explain due to privacy but trust me). He had a tongue tie, but it was fixed...

While I didn't know the EXACT origin of the phrase, I knew the turn of phrase existed long before 1991. I credit Rush only with an amazing song and the context inspirational to my usage of it here. But thank you for the interesting bit of trivia. :)

Yeah, I wish there was a "Like" system so we could show our appreciation for a post even if we have nothing to add.

That is such a sweet story, MsEmotional. Thank you for sharing it and for your kind words. It's really nice to know I have a bit of an audience already, even though I have little to share at the moment. Making me a little ferklempt if I'm being honest. ^_^ Got a couple of mutual likes tonight...

You definitely seem Spectrum based on that description. A lot of those are classic traits. Everybody manifests a little differently. But it starts out as sensory overload and processing delays, which then impares natural social learning depending on the severity. We can be social, learn social...

Thank you! They're my second favorite musical artists after Weird Al (The Beatles are a close third). I wanted a title that would work at all stages of my journey so I won't have to start a million blog threads to reflect my changing status.

I was diagnosed with Asperger's (back when ASD was a collection of different Spectrum diagnoses) on my way out of college, almost ten years ago. All Autism Spectrum conditions had (and still have) many negative connotations, so I was like "no, not me, crowbar separation please." It was only...

I'm so glad it's working out as much as it seemed like it would so far. Stay vigilant, but enjoy!

Oh! Almost forgot... While browsing OKCupid, it matched me 95% with someone I actually knew! One of my co-stars in my last few productions. It said she was Poly, and while we never spoke much, she gave me rides a few times and I liked her fine. Rather than messaging her on the site, I decided...

"I don't believe in Destiny Or the Guiding Hand of Fate I don't believe in Forever Or Love as a mystical state I don't believe in the stars or the planets Or angels watching from above But I believe there's a ghost of a chance That we can find someone to love And make it last" Prologue...

Saw this before and meant to chime in, but this month has been busy. But yeah, I get this from both sides. I get both wanting to fill the void and enjoy your activities again after losing the partner you did them with, AND seeing your ex partner enjoy them without you. It's never easy. My heart...

The vote of confidence does mean a lot, even with the obvious "we don't actually really know each other" caveat. I just never want to be mistaken for one, and minimize accidents based on poor communication. Even if something "feels" good, I never KNOW unless I'm told. As The Animals once sang...
