Agreed. I only really lumped myself in the Ace box because I heard what asexual people were saying about themselves and thought it matched me pretty well. But that whole thing is some kind of weird multi-dimensional spectrum box and it took me a long time to bother labeling myself, because it just wasn't important to me.

[Iduno]

I have no clue what the hell my sexuality even is right now. Like, I get crushes on boys and girls (which has mostly been biased towards boys recently, oddly enough), but I only feel sexual desire towards girls. Stranger still, I've noticed that if I have a crush on someone, I don't feel much of an urge to have sex with them. If I'm sexually attracted to someone, I wouldn't want to be in a romantic relationship with them. I don't know why romance and sex are mutually exclusive in my head, but it is.

I'm not even sure if my sexuality qualifies as one, or if it's just a mishmash of preferences glued together into this fucking black box of a system. Sometimes I give it data about people, and sometimes it says "you like them" and sometimes it says "you don't like them, not in that way". Well gee, sexuality, what do I do with that information? Do I analyze it for months on end? Should I remind myself that I like this person? Do I throw it off a cliff?

The thing that's getting me so worked up about it is that I don't know how to use it. I can feed some random bullshit to it, and maybe it'll print something out, but I don't think it's particularly useful the way I'm doing it. I don't know how to operate this thing, nor do I understand its output.

And all of this because I listened to a song. Must be a pretty good song if it makes me philosophize on the nature of my sexuality.

Eh, just go with what you feel. The label doesn't really help anything.

Labels are nice to find a place where you feel you fit. When there's a name for a particular set of traits you have, it's comforting.

Putting labels on other people, on the other hand, fuck that shit.

Yes indeed. I find it very pleasant to find words that fit me.

[Egan_BW]

I'd be the same thing, regardless if language were able to describe me. But if I can pick a label which supports other people who are similar to me, sure. It's not really helpful to me, but visibly identifying as such surely helps reassure others.

[Enemy post]

I was reading Worm and spotted GreatWyrmGold's username in the comments. That caught me pretty off guard.

[Egan_BW]

Heh, he's still around. He's a prolific guy, and it's not like Toady can ban him from the entire internet.

[Eschar]

What's/what was the deal with GWG?

[MetalSlimeHunt]

He seems to post nearly everywhere of note, even on smaller sites, and his comments tend to get attention for much the same reason he ended up banned from B12.

Funnily enough, I don't really remember interacting with him when he was here.

[Egan_BW]

What's/what was the deal with GWG?

Too many fuckhueg novel-length weeklong arguments about nothing, pretty much.

[pisskop]

It always surprises me when I see or hear other people from B12 other places...  there are a few of you

[Egan_BW]

Hopefully nobody ever notices me!

its not like i use my moniker consistently because I want to create an online persona, baka

[Naturegirl1999]

My moniker is used by me in other places, who knows, maybe others saw me in other places

[hector13]

I’ve used this elsewhere.

The common part of my handle is the 13 suffix though, and maybe not using a capital for the first letter.
