Nope, stop it with my body so none of the 6 die.
Throw myself on the tracks.
Still doing my blog (www.namelessblade.blogspot.com)
Does anyone have any suggestions for possible posts? I need to make a list...
Oh, yes, and I'm still unemployed. (sigh) I hate job searching. Anyone else pounding the pavement?

I have read all of it, and other then saying you might want to look into Heterromantic Demisexuality or grey Ace's, I'm going to just answer your questions. (please note that all of these are for ME. Other asexuals are different. We are a very varied bunch of people)
1) Yes, Kotaku has a PM service. Just look at my profile, there should be a "message" option there
2) Sometimes. I'm half in the closet with my family. I told my mom (who almost crashed the car and asked me if I was a lesbian. no.) And my brother (who kinda went 'lalalala' )so I've stayed quiet other then that. I would never deny it, but right now I'm not wearing my black ring.
3) It doesn't really effect my philosophy in life.
4) A mix of both. I knew I was different, I never got crushes like everyone else in my class, and I could tell when some movie starts were aesthetically pleasing but nothing really other then that. (plus I liked characters more then actors) and I was never really interested in a significant other. I always liked the few friends I had. In college, I was on wikipedia and somehow ended up on the article on Asexuality. After that, my life made sense and I've been identifying as an Ace ever since.
5) No instinct. There is no Ace Gaydar. (although, we apparently confuse the gays ;) [coconutpug.deviantart.com] )
6) Oh sweet Cosmos yes. So many times I get frustrated and want to yell "SEX IS NOT NECESSARY FOR LIFE PEOPLE!" (Well, other then reproduction.)
7) Well, I don't watch porn (others do) So I can't comment. Art... varies. I've always been partial to more seascapes and so on, but that may be more me then me being ace. Other then that, it varies between being kinda dispassionate or being annoyed.
8) I don't flirt (if I do, it is completely unconscious and unintentional) and I don't recognize flirting unless someone drops a very cliche pick up line.
9) Nope.
10) I don't usually pick up on phallic symbols unless it's pointed out to me.
11) Not sure how to answer that last one.
I do think of sex for my ships, but it's never ME and it's usually kinda weird (not in a kinky way) Like how I ship Master Xehanort/Cosmos (Villain of Kingdom Hearts/Dissidia's goddess of Harmony) and their relationship is VERY sexual and also ends badly when MX tries to Control Cosmos as a force of good and a weapon. On the other hand, other ships are very not sexual or in a "They had it, and now have kids that are around 5 years old" kinda way and those tend to last longer (Then again, MX/Cosmos' relationship went on for around 50 years so... yeah... and they have a kid in the form of Ienzo but MX doesn't know about that or that Ienzo is a living X-blade. I still consider their relationship a failure)
I don't think of people or characters as "sexy", too much fanservice annoys the heck out of me (I only campaign for fanservice for female players to make it equal) and I so much prefer the romance part of relationships. (Honestly, I don't really write smut. All my stuff is more fluffy. It's about holding hands, giving trust, kisses (sometimes. Yes, I've been kissed. I realized a guy was interested in me when he took me out on a date. I tried to drop hints and.... yeah. I lost a great friend. He said that he didn't care, but we never really met up after that)
All in all, though, I'm me. That's all I ever can be. I don't want to die alone, but I can't really see anything other then a Zucchini relationship for me. I would LOVE one, but so far the one person who I would enter in one with doesn't live close to me (and is straight, so I'm scared of creeping her out)
I hope this helps somewhat!

I personally haven't listened, but I heard the English(UK) Dub is pretty good.

Ohmygoshohmygoshohmygosh
Some rumors are leaking out that... Xenoblade is coming to the US. It was spotted on the GameStop computers this morning. It's either going to be a Gamestop exclusive (boo) or have a Gamestop special edition (it has something by the name)
So... YAY! If this is true, I'm SO GLAD I didn't mod my wii.

Quantum Leap? (runs around in fangirl squeals)
(Yes, I'm too young to have watched it growing up. Fortunately, my parents were fans so we have the DVD's of all the seasons. I've only seen up to around 3 though. Sweet Cosmos that was a good show)
[www.hulu.com]
Watch it here, if you haven't already.
(sidenote: Went to my NaNoWriMo wrap up tonight. Had a blast reading and listening to others work, (yes, I won this year, MY FIRST YEAR!), met some great people, found out one of the other writes was a fellow Ace (she high fived me when I said one of my characters was Demisexual. I mentioned I was ace, she gave me another high five and said she thought she may be too), and may have made a job contact. Nice night, all in all. Though my recent blog is... divisive. Apparently I wasn't as clear as I had liked.)

ANY two people, they just have to have an aromantic asexual relationship. (Heck, one of my ships is a Zucchini ship. They live together in the same house, share a bed, but if anyone called them a couple the two would be very creeped out since they really don't think of each other in that way.... in fact, both are dating other people!)
Ah, well, it looks like your romantic and sexual orientation both have different types. That happens.
No, that's Biromantic. Pan is "irregardless of gender" so, you don't think of people in gendered ideas. (er, sorta.... basically I'll use "he" or "She" to describe someone, but I really don't care other then that)
No, go ahead. I really do like discussing my orientation and spreading knowledge. If you have questions, you are MORE then welcome to hit me up. (either on this topic or in messages) and I ca link you to a few sites that can help too.
But, any questions about asexuality and I am here. Especially since when people DO know about Aces it can kinda be a hot button topic.

Yes!
The issue fascinates me, and I really love reading what people think. It's an incredibly complicated issue, and it deserves our attention.

I haven't but that's more due to a personal dislike of way too open world games and grey and grey morality. Also, I'm broke.
Sometimes, I wish I could promote starred people.
Nah, that's fine. Thanks. ^_^
just doing a mini poll for my blog.
List your top (in video games)
Sexualized male
sexualized female
unsexualized male
unsexualized female.
I won't accept player created characters but I will accept non humans.

Okay, Zucchini refers to two people who are VERY very close (in fact, it can often be construed as dating by outsiders) but who have absolutely NO romantic or sexual interest in the other. (Bromance and sistership (I made up the sister word though, I don't know the female version) refers to people of the same gender who are like siblings... only not)
As for being turned on, the equipment works we just don't use it. But men (and women) aren't necessarily aroused by being on a bumpy road.
As for degrees, yes. There are Grey A's and Demisexuals too. Grey's have some sexual interest, and Demi's are only sexually interested when they fall in love with someone.
And, yes, romantic and sexual orientation are separate. Most of the time, they match up, but you can be an aromantic heterosexual, panromantic homosexual, homoromantic heterosexual, biromantic pansexual, heteroromantic bisexual, etc.
As for me, I honestly can't say. All I know is I like people in general, but I'm not sure about romance (which is why I identify as a/panromantic) So, well, I'm often confused if I"m romantically interested and I just can't tell, or not.
I think I got it, so I tried to answer as much of it as I could.

Honestly, Gender and sex fascinate me, so go on right ahead. (I'm not sure if it's me, or if I'm ace. Maybe a bit of both)
I think once I started to analyze cartoons and was a serious gamer, my parents gave up on "feminizing" me. Then again, I notably didn't care for dolls when I was little. I simply like what I like. Some of it's "Masculine" some of it is "Feminine" and some of it is neutral. If I ever adopt (and I'm honestly on the fence with it.) I'd really try to raise my kids without gender roles.
No, no, keep on talking. I like it. Anyway, it gets kinda frustrating when I watch TV or something and it's all "SEX IS AWESOME!" or "RENEW YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH SEX!" or "YOUR FAVORITE COUPLE DOES THE HORIZONTAL TANGO TONIGHT!" and I'm all "you DO realize that you don't need sex. At all. Just for natural conception." (And yes, I ship. I ship alot of couples and I ship them seriously. But I also allow for Bromances, zucchinis, sisterships, etc.) I'll fully squeal over hugs, some kisses, sitting on laps, cuddling, but getting to sex turns me off. (Well, I am never really turned ON, but you get my drift)
You're going to want me to explain Zucchini, aren't you.

And there go my NieR sequel hopes.
Still looks quite awesome though. #speakup

No, no, I agree. (which is why I'm really pushing my brother that it's okay to like MLP. I'm trying to break down his roles. Heck, I'm not particularly feminine myself. I'm not Masculine, but babies and cleaning isn't on my to do list. Cooking is, but only because I like food.
... then again, I'm an a/panromantic asexual but that's a whole other can of worms)
