That's ten times what I paid for my orange one, and 12% of my monthly income. :P

I'm hungry.

Also I've liked knowing the sex ahead of time; it helps with the planning. Especially this second time, it was nice to know if we were going to need to get a whole bunch of boy stuff or if we could rely more on hand-me-downs. Yay for hand-me-downs!

Not that this will ever be an issue for me (assuming my stance on kids doesn't change, and that I would be adopting instead of using a surrogate if it did), but I would never choose not to know--no way.

I don't really give a crap that it's how things used to be. Nor do I really care about gender roles in decorating--I'd probably be more likely to paint a nursery green/yellow than blue or pink (though blue has been linked positively to development, so I might do that regardless). And my boys would be just as free to play with Barbies as my girls would be with transformers (okay, let's face it, I'd buy the girl the transformers and keep the dolls for myself...)

It's just the fact that I'd want to know everything I could...

I think people who don't let their girls play with LEGO or their boys with Barbies are usually homophobic, so yeah...

By the way, (and this is a question for everyone who isn't completely vanilla), how much do your parents know about your sexual orientation and stuff like that?
For me, it's like... coming out to my dad would have no effect, and if my mum knew I liked girls, too, she'd be delighted, I think, and get even clingier. D:


Also, I don't really want my kids to be white. I wouldn't really mind, but I'd prefer them not to be, if that makes sense.

There are parents that don't let girls play with LEGOs?!?!?!

A childhood without legos is a no childhood at all!



I came out to my mom years ago (6 or 7), and she's super religious so that was... unpleasant. But I told her I was bi, thinking it would be an easier thing to handle. Now she just assumes I'm dating everyone. It's really, really, REALLY annoying.

I don't talk to my dad really. Not about personal stuff. He doesn't call me and I don't call him. I should probably get around to coming out though... Not that it would really make a difference--he thinks homosexuality is a choice (/sigh).

LEGOs were the best. Not the big Dublos or whatever they're called, but the small ones.

Yeah, that'd end well, considering the amount of alcohol we consume in my family (we're not drunks, we're just drunk).

Yeah, no.

I think the term you're looking for is "camp". :P

And I dunno, girls seem to be the same, a lot of the time.

I don't know who likes overly macho men, though. Weird people.

Why? I just think it's pointless to meddle with stuff when there's absolutely no need for it.
And I wouldn't paint a baby's room blue or pink anyway, I'd go with a more nature oriented theme.
Swans are gorgeous <3
If I didn't have a brush I'd have dreadlocks in no time.
Although it doesn't apply to me I wouldn't have a problem telling my parents or my siblings as I know they wouldn't act any different.
This, a million times this.

The meddling was mostly about the artificial insemination, I wouldn't want to know the gender because that just doesn't feel right to me. It's not a logical argument by any means.
Although getting to think of two names is a plus.



Also, you're so gay.

lol, I know. A friend of mine had to find a floral dress for a class project she had agreed to help with. The problem is that many florid prints are hideous. The other problem is that dresses can be expensive, and my friend is not a flower kind of gal, so we definitely wanted cheap.

We had so much fun looking for one. :P
