C'mon bring it

Amagad, I just had a discussion with Em about words and what word we would use to represent each other. We'll be attending Poly Weekend Atlanta this weekend (yep, I am way excited, thanks for asking) and I thought that having a word other than "friend" to describe her might be important.

Fuckbuddy? Woefully inadequate, as we are also very good friends.
Friend with Benefits? A mouthful, and makes me feel like I'm still in college with no plans to graduate anytime soon. (Also, it leaves out the important fact that I really care about her!)
Girlfriend? No, that's not at all right, and I don't care to quantify why.
Paramour? Has negative connotations and I don't want to even open up that can of worms.

We ended up deciding on "lover", because it conveys generally what we are to each other, I think.

It makes me feel like, yeah, I am legit poly now (although as tensergorn said I have the basic poly precept that the amount of love a person has in them is not limited down and have had it down for years of my life) and I think it's just a really damn good feeling.

Who knew that identity could be so empowering! I'll have to think more on this.

using the IE add-on in FF3 is not a true fix.Try doing that in linux. If your going to use IE-addon in FF3, you might as well just use Internet Explorer. thats kindof what it is doing. its just oeinpng up a IE window in FireFox 3 tab. your still using IE. not firefox.
