Lol there was a 'Annoying things that aromantics say' thread posted on AVEN a few hours back, and the aromantics just hijacked it. Amazing.

Me: puts my legs over mums'
dad: "you need a boyfriend"
me: ??????????

If the 1% stat about aces is accurate (and it's not - there's most likely way more), then there are over 3x as many aces than people in Australia. Thanks, Who Wants to be a Millionaire?! And to people who say, "They're only 1% of the population, they don't matter." Yeah, Australia can just go blow itself up and no one would also care, then? THEN WHO WOULD THREATEN YOU WITH DROP BEARS, HUH?

They can cover an area the size of Wales @Ace of Amethysts ("Wales" has become a legitimate unit of area btw)

Wow, just found a couple of printed out 'comics' consisting of extremely rascist remarks... On the counter of my own house. That's disturbing.

Mum: "If anyone below the age of 18 says they're gay, I'm not inclined to believe them. You can't know that early."
Me: "Would you say the same if they say they're heterosexual?"
Mum: "Yes."
Riiiight. No, you never question it. If they say they're gay they're attention seeking. Everyone must be straight.

First celebrity squish, kill me! It's so much worse when there's no chance of ever talking to them!

"When Bri brings home a boy..." "I wonder what kind of boy Bri'll bring through the door..." "So, how many boys you got chasing you around uni??? ; ) ; )"

Same @Zemaddog people stopped doing that to me once I came out

When anything even remotely related to space comes on TV:
Dad: "Bri!!!! There's something about SPACE on!!!!! Come look, quick!"

"He's a fairy asexual character." -David Tennant talking about Doctor Who. I'LL TAKE IT. I'LL TAKE IT. Even though they've given him a romantic relationship which I think is very odd for the Doctor, I'LL TAKE THAT AT LEAST.

Well, it was awesome and QP-ish with Nine...and then Ten happened. No I'm not still bitter about that at all why in the world would I be bitter about the Best Doctor being replaced with a soggy weasel who just makes things awkward with the closest friend he's had in so long with the result of completely unnecessary shoehorned awkward half-attempts at a departure from their previous dynamic that I'm very much not comfortable with, nope, that's all totally fine by me
Anyway. Seconded on both vigorously defending any hint of asexuality associated with the Doctor and romantic relationships being Extremely Weird on principle for him.

I really hate when there's a picture of a man with makeup or whatever, and everyone comments things like "love wins" and "gay people are awesome" and all the other usual stuff. Since when does a man wearing make-up make them gay? What does that have to do with anything? That would mean that pretty much any man on any TV show or theatrical production is gay.
-
Because people are ignorant and think that a man who is femme must be gay. Funnily enough, while I was browsing the internet I found this and I think it somes up this issue quite well:
I think the only reason this stereotype exists is because gay men tend to feel more comfortable embracing the feminine aspect of their personality more than straight men. I'm willing to bet that the proportion of feminine men is the same amongst all sexualities.

Same. I was watching Germanys Next Topmodel with a bunch of people earlier this year (because I knew one of the contestants, I wouldn't watch it otherwise. Way too many commercials and I don't think those commercials were targeting aro aces... ) and basically everyone who I watched it with commented on how that one guy in the jury is "totally gay". At some point I asked why they think so and if he mentioned it because I didn't remember that, but all they answered with were comments on the way he acted or spoke etc.
Whenever people jump to conclusions about someones orientation I just never want to talk to people again...

We've come a long way since "don't turn your back on a p**f because they'll have a go," (I saw that on It Was Alright In The 70s) and even the sitcom Extras from 10 years ago feels like the most close minded and dated thing with cheap predictable jokes saying "aren't gays funny but don't worry; we're aware we're ripping on a marginalised group so these cheap jokes are OK" but we can only move on from this exasperating bollocks when we stop assuming dumb shit. I wear makeup like once every 3 months and I cocking dare you to dissuade me.

I gave dad my phone to look at a bunch of pics I took at the botanic gardens.. And when I looked over... He was in my browser history, looking at every website I'd been to one by one... Super thankful this website doesn't have 'aromantic' in the title now!

Hello? Is there anyone in the 'I failed a maths course' club that would care to welcome me in? Please? I'm lonely.

That's it. I am done with AVEN!
It is just not a nice place to be anymore! I will live my life on Arocalypse. Papo for life. :byepapo:

My visit to the repat was lovely. They sucked some of my blood out, and gave me some dandy fine steroid infused shampoo.
-
I feel so out of place and unwelcome on AVEN lately. It used to be my go to place/safe haven, but Arocalypse has definitely taken its place. The community here is so much nicer.

I enjoyed a lovely dinner today listening to my mother and sister talk shit about NB people.

Last year I was ridiculously underconfident towards my exam. This year I am ridiculously overconfident. "Exam is on Monday? 9 lectures to watch in a day? I'm going to smash this!" (no sarcasm). I think someone drugged me. My logic has gone out the window. Send help.

I've been working hard on the whole, 'potatoes are the best thing in existence!' Thing while you were away. Pretty sure I've convinced almost everyone.

Bleeeeh! Bus driver kept calling me sweetheart (when I purchased a ticket and when I left)! And my hair dresser said I have 'nice skin'... I have a genetic skin disease!

Dad was watching Britain's Got Talent last night when I was doing a jigsaw with mum. And every single time someone older than 50 came on, the first question the judges immediately asked was, "Are you married???" HOW IS THAT RELEVANT??? I don't understand why they kept asking it??? And why only to 50+ people???
