I've been trying to plot out my sexuality by zapping it with homoerotic content. As of now, I've basically identified it as "biromantic heterosexual", though "panromantic" is theoretically possible (the romance part of it appears to be gender-independent), but I have zero data (i.e. hadn't had any crushes on nonbinary peeps), so the jury's still out on that. There's some other details there, but I think I've mapped out a decent chunk of it.

I'm not an expert on love or sexuality, as a self-proclaimed virgin, but scientifically jabbing your psyche with stimulus to try to deduce the answer to your sexuality seems like the worst way of going about it. Most all sexual content you can find is exaggerated, hyperbolic, intended to stimulate people that are already overstimulated, and the consumption merely distorts and desensitizes its consumers even further. Moreover, such a critical examination of something that is, at least to me, is inherently fluid and dynamic is a futile effort; if anything the examination is harmful, as observation changes the result. It's Schrodinger's Sexuality, including the part where the experiment might kill the sexuality before the box is even opened.

Or, as they say, you can't find love, love has to find you.

But, like, what is love?

Baby don't hurt me.

This is one of those common failure states for people on the autism spectrum. This is not something that can be analysed because the ruleset itself is in constant flux. Remember: you, as a person, change every moment. Your brain is rewiring itself with every single experience you have, no matter how mundane, and that can change the way you think in chaotic unpredictable ways. The only advice I have for you is to stop your entire analysis process and force yourself to focus on something else. Worrying about it is a guaranteed misery pit and you have to just get out of it.

You know, I've just realized I haven't seen Naturegirl around. I hope she's getting along just fine.

We're not supposed to notice her absence, and here we are doing it a second time.  Don't be weird.  People are allowed to leave.
They are also allowed to come back.

What kind of dumb-ass welcoming community do you think we have here? Elves?

No, every tick spent away is reducing the cave adaptation; pretty soon, she won’t even be bothered by the outside world! :o

Thanks to COVID, classes in my college are now online. It's a shitshow, as far as things go. There's no standardization of apps. Like, lecturers use Whatsapp, Telegram, or Google Classroom to coordinate the lectures. And I'm not even sure on what platforms the online classes themselves are on. I'm having a headache trying to figure out who uses what. Even worse, my college does have a standardized platform for online classes, but it's basically luck as to whether any of them actually use it.

The best part? Classes start tomorrow. I've only been in the college dorm for one fucking day, and they decide to start online classes the day after. No orientation; that's cancelled due to COVID. I don't have a roommate to ask, either, since my only one decided to stay home (which is a perfectly valid option). God save me.

Tell me about it

I actually canceled my Uni course but the Uni still isn't acknowledging this 3 weeks after. Just keep bouncing me between inquiry centres that don't even acknowledge I've made an enquiry at all

Are you in a dorm/korridor? Slip notes under everybody's doors (or just pit up a giant sign) telling them you've made a discord or something for everyone to talk in and and get to know each other even if you're socially distancing.

Also obviously do make the discord room. They're still free to host right?

Same, and I also want some of you to burn your valuables on video in sacrifice to me.
