Randomness @_@

1. Just assume for a moment that we knew someone who was able to control our switches at will. They are trusted, and they say it's for a good cause, but if anyone gets out of line, they want to be able to have control. What would you do? >< Mind that you love them, trust them, know they're a good person, know they'd never hurt you, know they want to help and be supportive, but just can't get over the fact that they have that ability..

2. Re the anime DVDs, our relocation is on schedule and soon after we arrive in Boston we'll be able to send copies out. ^^ (link to the previous post) Apologies for not being here more, it's been crazy.

3. We're trying to think of an actual name for our sys but have no idea where to start. The name would be a legal name and should not be a name that any of us specifically has. It should be more than "just another name", but at the same time it'd be the cloak-name to use in work situations, so it can't be too weird.

4. How do you deal with a pretty mutual resentment and fear of externals, singlets in particular? Everyone who says they understand seems to lie. It's been getting pretty bad, to the point that we wonder if we should even worry about others, even though at least half of us are pretty social and would suffer.

5. Any opinions on the movie Serenity? It was pretty triggery for me, although I loved the whole "Am I talking to Miranda?" joke. :P Yay for making fun of things that deserve to be made fun of.

6. Not the best publicity, but I (and thus all of us, in some small way) was in the news, though it's for something stupid. The fact that we are, well, we, ended up coming out, you can see if you scroll down, though the reaction predictably SUCKED. Still, thought you'd like to know.

7. Anyone in the Boston area?!?! :D

(Sorry for the monstrous post. ^^;)

Will do our best to give our two cents:

1. Letting someone else have 'emergency switch authority' is a privilege and not a right. They need to know that and so do you. If you are antsy about it, you need to talk to this person and let them know that you're really uneasy about this. Only a couple of outside people we know have that ability, and that's only because we granted that and they've never abused it. Only in cases of extreme panic without resolution are they allowed to even go there, and for a long time that has never even been an issue so I suppose that's pretty good news about where we're at in means of our anxiety problems.

4. We find it's a pick and choose kind of deal when it comes to who we tell and what we tell. The further we get in life, the easier we find it is getting to tell who you can trust and who you can't. And some people, of course, will never understand, but if they love and respect you anyway then that's the best they can do. We made the mistake for a long time of expecting too much from people who just can't wrap their heads around certain notions, and if they didn't fit that blown-up expectation they were jerks. As long as no one is mean or cruel to you because of it, they don't deserve exclusion from your life if you have chosen to disclose to them.

7. Sorry. We're in Toronto, but someday we might visit Mass. if one of our friends keeps plugging it the way he does. ;)
