do folks celebrate valentine's day here? is it too early to ask about this?

TOTES unrelated: anyone have gift suggestions that are thoughtful but also not creepy or weird?

seattle is pretty liberal, as far as major cities go. i've got a number of friends who identify somewhere on the sexuality spectrum back home.

i think some of it comes from people, as a whole, needing to categorize stuff. i also think people find and like to identify based on similarities in personality, lifestyle, that kind of thing. they can find communities based on different things, and sexuality is one of them.

Is such a thing really so diversified in this world?

[Surely there can't be that man straight people, D33 thinks.]

[majorlyugh]

what do you mean? like, are people really that different?

[d33tached]

I suppose so.

Truth be told, Major, romantic relationships were uncommon [Pronounced: forbidden.] in my home world, but even those that did appear to exist were not so varied.

[majorlyugh]

ahh, yeah. i mean, historically? they probably seemed really singular because anything that differed was illegal. but they def happened. there's lots of proof of that.

but i know that things were ... different for you, back home.

[Incredibly so, he thinks. But he'd really rather not talk about that right now (even if he's the one who technically brought it up).]

At any rate, it matters little to me whom others choose to spend their time with.

I thank you for answering my question.

[majorlyugh]

hey man, i'd hope by now that you know you can ask me anything. i'm here for you, d33.

[Major, you're doing that "friendship" thing again. It still serves to make D33 a little more than uncomfortable, but...He supposes the sentiment is...nice?

[This is awkward.]

As I've said, I thank you.

[And that should be...that.]

Have a pleasant rest of your day, Major.

[LET HIM LOVE YOU, GOSH.]

thanks, bud! you, too! :)
