You are too freaking sweet, and I love the way you keep a "secret". :-)

[serenejournal.livejournal.com]

Thanks for all the ego boosts! I have been trying to figure out who the heck you are before adding you. My not-so-secret confession of the day is how hard I find it to match up LJ usernames to people's identities. Help?

[illandaria.livejournal.com]

*Laughs* I'm a lurker on Wombat...I post there as Shannon. I remember that we had a thread going for a while about how neither of us has ever dated a straight man.

Does that help?

[serenejournal.livejournal.com]

Yes, thank you. (Though that probably wasn't me, as I've never dated a queer man (some of the men in my life have identified as something other than completely straight, but I wouldn't say any of them were "not straight," and that's probably gonna get me in trouble. ;-)

[illandaria.livejournal.com]

Well, the thread happened sometime in January, and I don't keep my sent items all that long ago and haven't got a clue how one goes back through the Wombat archives. :)

[serenejournal.livejournal.com]

No biggy. It might've been when I said that we recently had the first straight man in our home. We've been together for four years, and a friend and her boyfriend came over, and I realized he was the first non-gay man who had ever been in our place, besides when my brother helped us move in.

I admire(for multiple values of admire) and respect serene.

serene is too many good things to list... 'smart' and 'beautiful' top the list.

If I were alone in a room with serene I would hopefully not panic, and try to be charming.

serene needs happiness, and peace; more of the former, and enough of the latter.

(Remaining questions dropped because they involve things not easily put into words.)

Hey, no fair making serene blush at work!

(Thank you so much.)
