1) I really do want to go to gaming on Saturday, Saturday being when my flight gets in.  I miss the people, I like the gaming, and I'd love to spend time with people who are familiar to me.

However, introvert cat says, even if it weren't for the fact that I'll be coming down off a 20-hour trip, I am an introvert, and I'm going to need to not be around people for a bit.

It is frustrating to have people-need while being an introvert, I tell you what.

2) I am reminded of alexandraerin's post on privilege, link to follow.  She mentioned that one way in which she has privilege is, she can say "I have a boyfriend".  Not as in she has one, rather that she can say it.  I am reminded of it whenever I talk about "my girlfriend" (infrequent, as I'm at work, but still), and I feel a pang of I don't know what in my stomach.  When I talk about "my boyfriend", I get no such pang.

Life is stupid.

Ah!  Self!  Go get that quote and put it here!  Whoever wrote about IQ vs. creativity, in the comments!

I am at that point in life and this relationship where it is beginning to become awkward to say "I have a boyfriend" as opposed to "I have a husband" or "I have a fiancee", and "I have a partner" isn't entirely right either. People seem to expect us to be getting married any day now. It would be really nice if society didn't have that sort of expectation.
