* Looks like Nin's graveyard shift is being made part of the regular shift rotation, so she's going to be going back to working all over the week and time of day. I think it will be a good thing, but it does mean new adjustments to everyday life stuff.

* The weather here is seriously wonky. It's just been so warm, and today, even though it's foggy, it's warm. Does not compute! But it's sure been nice! But they're still stone cutting next door, so the noise battles with my office being too stuffy with the door closed.

* The internet has died again. Has to be summer.

* I know there are Harry Potter spoilers out there, and though I haven't been rabidly avoiding them, I seem to have nonetheless. My copy is coming from Amazon UK, so I probably won't have it till Monday/Tuesday.

* And because I'm bored, the 'ask me' meme! It's always good for distracting me [g]

Ask me a question, personal, fandom, fic. If you've ever had a burning desire to know something, now's your chance.

Do you introduce each other as your roommate? My gf and I do that in public, or around people who don't know that we're bisexual. Do you date other people, or have you gotten to the fed up with relationships stage? LOL

I hope these aren't too personal!

It depends on the circumstances. (and I hate the term roommate in general) (so I usually try to avoid calling her that)

We didn't purposely set out not to date, but it's sort of happened. We're both hermits, so we're quite happy in our own little world most of the time. Dating just never seems like something either of us miss, so we don't seek it out. I've pretty much accepted I shall now and forever be a spinster [g] Nin's also quite a bit younger than I am, so she has more of a chance of escaping spinster status

Eh. I did the married route, so did the gf, and it's not all that it's touted to be. LOL We're going through a bit of a dry spell right now. I miss the physical side of our relationship, but I can usually take care of things if needed. LOL If we break up, I doubt that I'll ever date again, although I would miss companionship.

Are you or Nin bisexual? Your relationship with Nin is similar to mine, except that we do have that romantic side to ours.

Fraid we're both quite boringly heterosexual [g] One of our best friends bewails the fact we aren't lesbians because she insists we're the perfect couple and we act like we're married anyway, so it's a waste [g] Yes, our friends slash us.

Ahahaha! That's too funny! Right now, I'm happy being with my gf, but she could just as easily be male and I'd feel the same. It's interesting that the two of you are technically a couple, but you're not in practice. Thanks for talking to me about this!! :D

Yeah, the shared checking account was the last mark in the couple column, I think [g] And our friends treat us as a unit. Invitations include both of us, etc. As far as my mum is concerned, Nin is her second daughter and refers to her as her daughter in conversation with her friends.

You're welcome!

My parents are still a little uneasy about the whole situation, but my gf's mom accepted me without any hesitation. Which is a good thing considering that we've moved into her house with my gf's two kids, our four cats and one dog, too. LOL
