- Hi there! I've demuffined before, I just don't post all that often. :)
- I should introduce myself. I'm currently in a polyamorous relationship
- with Will (the guy quoted up there... :), and believe me, even with some
- relationships intertwined and some separate, it can get pretty
- complicated... I'm holding three relationships right now, and he's
- holding two, and I think he was working that out just to figure out all
- the ties going everywhere...we should make a graph. :)
-
- I'm just personally of the opinion that it can be extremely neat if say,
- there are three people involved in a relationship, and they all are
- involved to a full extent. Everybody likes, loves, lusts, everyone
- else.
-
- I guess this posting isn't too terribly logically thought out like the
- others in the thread, but I just really felt like posting here. Just
- got back from break, haven't read the bboard in ages...

- Arg! Yeah...
