Why are you gay?

I'm a woman who is sexually attracted to other women as if my OP doesn't make it obvious.

how can you be bored and gay at the same time? you should go catch butterflies or something

That sounds cruel to the poor, beautiful butterflies though.

My blood draws have been a hassle since my local lab doesnt have the Quest infrastructure that allows order receipt and retrieval to be automated, but I think I have my part in the process down now so hopefully it smooths out. I couldnt get my T tested tho cuz my chart at Folx said female for some reason. I really want that clinic to open here already so I can switch to them, but Im not sure how much of a barrier between being seen and getting hormones they might put up, so the thought of making the switch is making me anxious as well.

Ive experienced vasovagal syncope twice in my life, once was actually after an episode of Fear Factor where they did a series of surface piercings on the contestants arms. My mother accused me of being on drugs, which was ironic since she was a needle drug user, which is where I got the massive stress response to needles in the first place. This was during my first playthrough of FFIX ever, I went back to my room to play and she didnt call me for dinner. I cried that night, I didnt understand why, but I felt alone, like truly, singularly alone.

Had you ever passed out during a blood draw or in any other circumstance before?

Have you heard of this Little Noah game? I like it.

The closest I came was dry heaving once when I was younger. I've never had anything like this happen before and it was extremely scary.
I don't like getting my blood drawn: I look away. My girlfriend likened it to a period and gave me a bunch of peppermints. She says peppermint is supposed to help, but the sugar definitely might. I'll also have to make an effort to be super hydrated. My new, higher dose of spiro makes hydration more difficult, because I have to pee all the damned time, it feels like.

And no, I'm not familiar with Little Noah lol.
