Awesome poly moment:

Asking no less than five people if I can stay in their bed tonight, as mine is covered with costuming. And a cat.

(Two of them responded "yes, but only if you bring the cat". I find this a very very weird instance of synchronity across partners. Must be something about living in New York)

Awesome geek moment:

1:15:20 AM Foster!: Hmm, reminds me of my plan to design Strip magic.
1:15:58 AM Sorky: How?
1:16:04 AM Sorky: Clothing as life tokens?
1:16:19 AM Foster!: You'd remove clothing for loss of life, but I think it'd have to be every 3 or 4.
1:16:53 AM Sorky: *nods*
1:17:01 AM Sorky: Twenty pieces of clothing would be ridiculous
1:17:05 AM Foster!: No doubt.
1:17:12 AM Sorky: "JUST KILL ME ALREADY! I AM TOO WARM!"
1:17:39 AM Foster!: "But I have this dresser ready for my infinite life combo next turn!"

Return to awesome poly moments, only less of a moment and more of a thing:

I have boys who I've kissed in five states and two countries. Such is the peril of having 2d6 boyfriends¹.

((Massachusetts, of course, has the highest concentration of boys-I've-kissed: four. Pennsylvania has two, New York has two, and Maryland and California each have one. Nowait, Pennsylvania should technically only have one as well --I've only promised one of them sloppy make outs, I haven't actually delivered yet.

Have I mentioned that my love life has gotten really frickin' weird this year? Because it has.))

ANDYES I SHOULD CLEAN OFF BED AND SLEEP!

MOOP!

1: Man, this is totally the phrase of my summer. I coined it at Origins, and have been using it at every opportunity since.

ETA: And by boys-I've-kissed, I do actually mean kissed. Not anything more. I am kindof a kiss-slut, which is probably a bad thing, but I do do my damndest to be ethical about it all. Only one of those boys was kissed without knowing I was poly, and the moment it seemed like we might kiss again, I made it damn clear.

...Ethical kiss-slut? Yeah, okay.

2d6 boyfriends! Gygax would approve. (Isn't it more like "2d6 boy toys", though? I mean, I certainly don't think someone like me counts as a boyfriend.)

So are you counting states of origin or states of residence? I'm in New York, after all, but that doesn't mean I think of myself as a New York stater for a moment. My heart belongs to the maple syrple.

I'm counting states of residence, though it would be cruel to count anything other than where they consider their Homestate --after all, I'm trapped in Maryland for the summer, but Massachusetts is and will always be my home.

I suppose it should be 2d6 boytoys, yes. The advantage of saying 2d6 boyfriends is that, on any given roll of the dice, some of them are not actually boyfriends. They are something else.

((You don't count as a boyfriend. I have a vague sense of who counts for which numbers, which is one of those things I will never ever publically reveal for fear of drama (despite most of my boys being pretty dramafree, bless their hearts) but you're way down that list.))

2d6 - does that mean the number is uncertain at any given moment 'til you roll?

Sure!

It started as two boyfriends and four complications, and then I kissed a bunch of boys, some in ways that imply they're more than just cute-boys-I've-kissed, but lack of proximity makes it hard to judge whether we're just kissing-friends or something more.

I could go into more detail, but I'm afraid that this is already complicated enough, and more detail would just be boring.

It doesn't seem complicated, my life works the same way (s/boy/girl/) and I think of it as simple. However, I tend to see it as the number being vague but stable over the course of, say, a week or two, rather than uncertain, so this dice perspective was amusing. I'd state it more as a margin of error.

Y'know, I first read this as a request to stay with five people in their bed...
