and I present:

yes, as many of you know, I have a boy. His name is Joe. He is my boyfriend. (...even though I kind of don't like the term boyfriend because if seems like what 15year olds have and we are so much better than that nonsense, but partner sounds totally commitment phobia inducing, though much more appropriate, and I can't stand the euphemism of "friend" when he's really my lover, and way more than either of those words... suffice to say, he's wonderful and I'm totally in love) So yeah, nomenclature nonsense aside, he's really important to me and will show up in lots of posts. I thought y'all should be properly introduced.

now please, lets all get along and play nice together, ok?

and on to the adventures continue...
