Yeah, hey guys. I've been through a bit of a wringer. Won't be here long--probably just over part of winter break, which hasn't started yet, but I'm taking a bit of a break (finals just started).
On the other hand, I'm going to be published in the American Mathematical Society's journal in the reasonably close future (not for mathematics, but as a co-translator of something). That's not too bad.
Squidhead is pretty pushy and made it rather clear that he expected a lot more touching than I'm willing to put up with at this point. It's not that I didn't talk to him; it's that he let me know what his expectations were. We'll be talking on Friday after my last final, but I'm bracing for impact. I don't really want to go back through the whole "getting used to someone's body" thing again until I'm dating someone I'm really attracted to again, and it'll be fun. I also don't feel like going through the whole history of abuse right now, and explain why glomping may be cute in various shows, but it scares the hell out of me. I put in an effort to drop hints to all the things that he might need to know (bisexual, genderqueer, AS, some baggage/self-esteem issues--last time I pretended to be something other than I was, I was upbraided for being evil, so I'm trying to cover the bases this time), but apparently it wasn't clear.
My mom will be giving me crap for not giving in, but then, she's not exactly the one driving the monster truck here.
