Lalanav1: Open marriages weird me out.
Lalanav1: Like...why get married if it's going to be an open one?
Lalanav1: Just live together.
Lalanav1: And share lovers.
Lalanav1: Like normal people.
girlboymusic: LOL yeah.
girlboymusic: Because there's an imbalance of power if 2 of you are married.
Lalanav1: Exactly!
girlboymusic: Also, the kind of open marriage where you each have another lover but never meet them?
girlboymusic: Weird.
girlboymusic: Share.
Lalanav1: Yeah..that's really odd.
Lalanav1: Because then it's not really an open marriage...you're just cheating on each other and neither of you cares.
Lalanav1: I mean, I guess technically it is...but still.
girlboymusic: I totally believe in 3-way relationships or whatever, it's weird but I can see it, whatever, if it floats your boat.
Lalanav1: Yeah.
Lalanav1: I would totally do it.
girlboymusic: But the kind where there's no relationship with the extra?
Lalanav1: Yeah!
Lalanav1: I would marry Ken and John.
Lalanav1: We would all live together.
Lalanav1: It would be lovely.
girlboymusic: Me too, if I found 2 people who I liked and we all got along.
girlboymusic: That would be so happy!
Lalanav1: And since neither is gay or into men, it would just mean that I get all the more attention.
Lalanav1: Hee.
girlboymusic: ROFL.
Lalanav1: *selfish*
girlboymusic: Mine would be with a guy and girl, so I wouldn't have to choose between the sexes.
Lalanav1: Lol!
Lalanav1: That's good.
Lalanav1: Makes sense.
girlboymusic: Indeed.
girlboymusic: And it would be fun if the other girl was a lesbian, because then, again, I'd just be getting lots of attention.
girlboymusic: It would be nice to be the hinge or whatever in a relationship like that.
girlboymusic: Although I suppose it's a lot of responsibility.
Lalanav1: Hm...
girlboymusic: And then it would be kind of weird because maybe the other two would go out to lunch and talk about you.
Lalanav1: ROFL.
Lalanav1: I don't think it would be weird.
Lalanav1: Because they'd be friends, right?
girlboymusic: And every time they're out to lunch you'd be like, "I hope they're not ragging on me."
Lalanav1: No. They'd be completely in love with me.
Lalanav1: LOL.
girlboymusic: LOL.
Lalanav1: *has a utopian image of this marriage*
girlboymusic: You can rag on people you're in love with.
Lalanav1: No. Because they'd think I was perfect.
Lalanav1: And there would never be anything to rag on me about.
Lalanav1: But really, even if they did, I wouldn't care.
Lalanav1: LOL.
girlboymusic: Is it weird that my utopian marriage involves flaws?
Lalanav1: No. Because those flaws are what make it real.
girlboymusic: Yeah, it would be a loving sort of rag.
Lalanav1: Exactly!
Lalanav1: I mean, if it was all "God, I hate her, let's run away together.."
Lalanav1: That might be different.
girlboymusic: Yeah.
girlboymusic: But since it's a lesbian and a straight man...
girlboymusic: Not gonna happen!
Lalanav1: Or two straight men.
Lalanav1: Hee.
girlboymusic: Same thing
girlboymusic: LOL
Lalanav1: Yes.
girlboymusic: I can't fathom being monosexual.
girlboymusic: Does not compute.
girlboymusic: OMG finish typing already.
Lalanav1: (You know what I think is funny? That we as a whole automatically think of Poison Control if anyone ever ingests poison. Like...I don't know anyone that's ever had to call the poison control center...but still, it's like automatically programmed.)
Lalanav1: No?
Lalanav1: I cannot fathom liking girls.
Lalanav1: LOL.
girlboymusic: I know!
girlboymusic: How odd.
girlboymusic: I think if I were straight, maybe I could fathom being gay or bi.
girlboymusic: But I dunno.
girlboymusic: I can say that because I am bi.
Lalanav1: Yes.
girlboymusic: (And yeah, but...does anyone know the number for poison control? LOL.)
Lalanav1: Just like I can say that if I were gay or bi, I could fathom being straight.
Lalanav1: (I dunno. LOL.)
Lalanav1: (I don't, for one.)
girlboymusic: But I bet we really couldn't.
Lalanav1: Probably not.
Lalanav1: LOL.
Lalanav1: You can't fathom being something that you've never been,
Lalanav1: like I can't fathom being a boy.
girlboymusic: Oh, I can.
Lalanav1: If I imagine myself with a penis, my boobs are still here.
girlboymusic: LOL!
girlboymusic: I can
fathom it.
Lalanav1: I can't take my boobs away in that image.
Lalanav1: LOL.
girlboymusic: I'm probably not like, accurate in my imagination of what it would be like.
Lalanav1: Yeah.
girlboymusic: But I can at least fathom life on the other side.
Lalanav1: Yeah, I cannot.
girlboymusic: It actually makes me kind of sad.
girlboymusic: I wouldn't want to be a boy.
Lalanav1: I can imagine it with the assumptions that I've made from this side...but I know that they're not accurate and I can't possibly understand it because I am not a boy.
girlboymusic: Boys' lives are sad.
Lalanav1: They really are.
girlboymusic: So much grunting.
Lalanav1: And yet, that's an assumption that we're making. They probably lead way happier lives than we do.
Lalanav1: No periods, and whatnot.
Lalanav1: And no pregnancy ever.
girlboymusic: But they have different pressures.
Lalanav1: And never having to fight for a pay raise in comparison to women.
girlboymusic: We're expected to show emotion.
Lalanav1: ...expected?
Lalanav1: I wouldn't say expected.
Lalanav1: It's accepted if we do.
girlboymusic: Well I mean...if a girl cries, nobody thinks it's weird.
Lalanav1: Exactly.
Lalanav1: It's accepted.
Lalanav1: Oddly enough, though, in my experience, emotion is accepted in gay men.
girlboymusic: Well, that's because they're already outside of the male gender stereotype.
girlboymusic: So people don't really care.
girlboymusic: They're just like, "Whatever, he's a fag anyway."
Lalanav1: Yeah.
Lalanav1: ROFL.
Lalanav1: Whatever, he's a fag anyway.
Lalanav1: Fag.
Lalanav1: ROFL.
Lalanav1: I dunno why that word is so funny.
girlboymusic: See, I think I really could fathom being gay or bi if I were straight...because that just takes like, considering alternate possibilities. I might not be like, "I totally get it!" but I could fathom it.
Lalanav1: I just can't imagine being gay.
Lalanav1: It doesn't work. I try to imagine it, but it just doesn't work.
girlboymusic: But I can't fathom liking one gender or the other, because I like both, and fathoming straightness involves like...closing one eye and only seeing the guy half of the world or something.
girlboymusic: I can't shut that off.
Lalanav1: Lol!
girlboymusic: Does not compute!
Lalanav1: We have the most interesting conversations.
girlboymusic: We do.
girlboymusic: We're being LJed again.
girlboymusic: L. Jed.
Lalanav1: LOL...ok.
Lalanav1: Wow, I see that as a totally different word.
Lalanav1: LOL. Like Jed is its own word. Pronounced like Bed.
girlboymusic: What?
Lalanav1: L. Jed.
girlboymusic: Yeah.
Lalanav1: I see that as "El Bed" (but with a J, obviously.)
girlboymusic: LOL!
girlboymusic: Yes.
girlboymusic: I was just looking at how LJed could be misread.
girlboymusic: And turned into L. Jed.
Lalanav1: LOL.
girlboymusic: Like a name or something.
girlboymusic: Lyle Jed.
Lalanav1: Yeah.
girlboymusic: LJed is eljayed, for me.
Lalanav1: When I see Lyle, I think of Lylo Lovett.
Lalanav1: Yeah, for me too.
girlboymusic: Lylo.
Lalanav1: *Lylo
Lalanav1: Lyle!
Lalanav1: AHH!
girlboymusic: Lylo and Stitch.
Lalanav1: LOL.
Lalanav1: ROFL.
Lalanav1: It bothers me to no end when people change their away messages like 16 times in 3 minutes, and take them down every single time.
girlboymusic: LMAO
