MackerelGray Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 Hi arospec friends or acquaintances or allies! I'm Kitson -- or at least that's what I wish my name was. My real name gets confusing because it's a homophone of a very common word said by my polite classmates that constantly confuses me. Also it's too feminine for my identity, but I'm getting off topic, here's how I found this site! So, I found this site through a thread on AVEN actually, and it's nice to have a whole site about romanticism! That's fantastic! Anyway, I discovered the word "aromantic" from a blog called "Asexuality Archive," and that description clicked faster than my asexuality clicked because I didn't understand what sexual attraction meant. That may have been a tip off. And for a while I tried to figure out what romantic attraction was and then gave up because I was apparently being overly scientific and there was no concrete answer. So I decided that I was aro, and my aceness clicked in soon after, just before I got on AVEN. Then I realized that gender was an impossible topic as well, so I thought "welp I literally cannot 'get' what society means anymore" and jumped into the void of sense that was not understanding nonsense, which lead me to a ton of angry internet trolls, angry binary adherents, and this site. So here I am! On more about me, because my triple-a lack-of-a-soul can't define me that much, I'm also a roleplayer some days, I'm an introvert through-and-through, I'm apparently rather smart for my age group, I would like to be a biologist who writes silly one-shot ideas about fantasy, and I thought I had a crush on Tom Hiddleston one time a couple of years back (and then I realized that his face was just pretty and things made more sense). Also, my English teacher once said that my writing style is too casual, is her assessment of my typing pattern correct? So what about you people? What's going on?

MackerelGray Posted June 22, 2016 Author Share Posted June 22, 2016 Yay I've join the fam! I guess I could just lick the vanilla and chocolate(icon!!) very carefully on that, I don't like strawberry ice cream too much. Ooh, and chocolate chip cookies! They're great soft.

Dodecahedron314 Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 Hey there, fellow triple-A! I'm given to understand we're something of a rarity, so it's nice to run into another person who's a-everything. It's great that you've started figuring yourself out, and that you've found communities in the process. Make yourself at home!

MackerelGray Posted June 22, 2016 Author Share Posted June 22, 2016 Hi, fellow 3A! Nice meeting you, and tthanks for the food! Didn't know we were rare, but...that's pretty obvious in hindsight. So sushi is agender food? Nice to know! Stay a-okay! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodecahedron314 Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 Yep, that happened a while ago in the A(gender)vengers thread on AVEN: http://www.asexuality.org/en/topic/84044-agendervengers-assemble/page-71#entry1061147494 You're welcome to come hang out over there as well! There are agendery peeps in the strangest of places if you know where to look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quinoa Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 Welcome! I'm kind of the opposite of you--I realized I was asexual first, then it took another year or so to realize I was aromantic. I think it's because I thought I had crushes until I realized that "this person is cool and I want to be their friend" isn't what most people would call a crush.

AlexisS Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 Welcome! I also realized I was aro before I identified as ace. Figuring things out about my asexuality took a little longer. And I usually identify with aromantics waaay better than I do with alloro aces afterall. Anyways, here's some icecream! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MackerelGray Posted June 22, 2016 Author Share Posted June 22, 2016 @XesEri Yay we're buds now! Pistachio ice cream has a nice taste, my problem with it is that it hurts a lot when it touches my teeth. Tongues are life savers, you know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XesEri Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 @Kitson Finch Sinaelo Absolutely! I loved ice cream when I was younger, but I had it right after I got braces put in and it's never been the same for me. Now I drink milkshakes in the summer instead of eating ice cream cones.
