Young Frog (2/4)

  1. I don't want kids, but I think that it's more influenced by my being ace. I guess my aro-ness would influence me not wanting to adopt, but I don't know how to separate those. And honestly I don't really like kids, so I would be happy just being an aunt to my friends' and siblings' kids.
  2. Not to be pedantic, but there's a difference between general attitude towards sex and personal attitudes to sex, so this terminology isn't what's usually used for personal attitudes.. Sex positive is usually used as the opposite of sex negative, and means someone who encourages everyone to have sex in whatever way they want as long as its safe and consensual (ie sex positive feminism). For personal attitudes towards sex, people usually use sex favorable. Also some people use sex averse as another point in the spectrum for people who don't want sex but aren't actively repulsed by it. But we can use the equivalents for romance for sure.
  3. I was at a club thing last night and I was talking with these two guys that are in the club with me but I don't know very well. One of them says, "You know, I've been pretty lonely in college" and I'm about to agree, like I have friends but I don't really feel like part of group, you know, and then he continues, "I haven't had a girlfriend my whole time here even though I had one in high school, and it'll be hard to meet people once I graduate", and then I was like, oh yes, I totally agree, that's definitely what I meant.
  4. Aww I'm glad I made you guys happy! My team made it to the round of 16 and is playing again this afternoon, so Quidditch (and making you happy about Quidditch) is making me happy today too. There's a live stream if you want to watch (not my team right now, but it's still cool) http://livestream.com/accounts/14425014
  5. My Quidditch team is at Nationals, and they've won both of their games so far! I'm not there, but one of our games was on the official live stream which was really cool.
  6. I figured out I was ace a while before I figured out I was aro, so I thought I was ace and heteroromantic. It took me getting my first serious boyfriend to realize I was attributing a lot of my aro feelings to my ace-ness and that I was actually both. And not into him.
  7. HAMILTON IS AMAZING. I got the cast album for Christmas and it's the only thing I listen to in the car. My car ride to school is almost as long as both CDs, so i just swap them back and forth forever basically. What's your favorite song?
  8. Wait for It from Hamilton My favorite line is "I am the one thing in life I can control. I am inimitable, I am an original". I don't listen to a lot of music, but I like this song a lot.
  9. My little sister has started wearing an ace ring, and she hasn't explained to any one what it is and I don't think she knows that I know what it is. But neither of us have talked about it with our family, even with each other, so I'm not sure how our family would take it. She also has friendship bracelets in multiple pride flag colors, but its hard to tell if they're for pride or because the colors look nice together, so I don't know if she's what her romantic orientation is. Once I come out, I'll probably talk to her about it, but I'm not really sure if either of us will tell our parents. I also don't know how our parents would react if they knew we were /both/ ace. We're not a family that talks a lot about our feelings, so. I hope my brother gets married and has kids, because our parents might be sad if none of us do, and it might soften the blow. (wow that was a ramble-y mess, I'm sorry. It's late)
  10. No problem YMBAI you started dating someone who you should be really good with on paper and you genuinely like, but once you're in the relationship, you feel uncomfortable or trapped.
  11. I think YMBAI is supposed to stand for You Might Be Aro If...
  12. I feel like a list would both be easier to compile and be more helpful to people who are questioning. This list from tumblr was very helpful to me, and could be a good guide to making ours if we go that route.
  13. I'm 20, so your poll puts me in 2 different age ranges. Is there a way you can make it so that ages aren't repeated (eg. 15-20, 21-25, 26-30, etc)? Having repeated ages might mess up the data and can be confusing. (not trying to be mean or anything, I am also curious about this and look forward to seeing the results)
  14. I'm going to defer to someone more knowledgeable here, but I think on some other post there was discussion of the definition of asexuality as lack of sexual attraction and lack of desire for partnered sex. So while romantic attraction is harder to define than sexual attraction, we might want to add in a part about lack of desire for a romantic relationship, though that does bring its own problems also. Aromanticism is inherently defined by the lack of something which makes it hard to pinpoint exactly, but hopefully we can come to some consensus.
  15. Ravenclaw forever! The first thing I ever knitted was a Ravenclaw scarf and I still wear it all the time. I would probably be Erudite, and I don't know about my camp half blood cabin.
