Peaceandlove67 Article: Asexual preguntas frecuentes Blog

posted by Peaceandlove67

Hello, everyone. Antonia here, and I decided to do a blog on preguntas I'm frequently asked about being asexual. As I mentioned in the Introduction Blog, I am asexual. I first discovered that when I was fourteen. I was bullied in school because of it. If you're not sure what asexual is, this should educate you, (I hope). Here it goes.

1. Q: If you're asexual, does that mean tu don't date?
A: No. All asexual means is that you're not sexually attracted to anyone. Romance is totally different. Some asexuals are aromantic, but some of them are romantic. Romantically speaking, I could go either way, but I prefer males.

2. Q: Are tu an alien?
A: No, I am not an alien. If tu want to see aliens, watch a sci-fi film.

3. Q: Since you're not dating someone, are tu lonely?
A: No, I'm not lonely. I have friends. Friendship can be just as rewarding as romance, if not more. Honestly, the only reason I haven't dated is I'm afraid of getting hurt. I've had good friends who have been hurt in romance, and I know it could very easily happen to me.

4. Q: How do tu know you're asexual?
A: tu just know. That's really difficult to answer. There are different types of asexuals out there, and in the end, tu know how tu feel. Don't listen to anyone who tells tu otherwise.

5. Q: Do tu think you'll change your mind when the "right person" comes along?
A: No, I won't change my mind. Asexuality is a sexual orientation, not a choice. Besides, the "right person" would understand my needs and desires.

6. Q: If you're asexual, does that mean you're repulsed por sex/the idea of it?
A: No. Sexual orientation and sexual desire are actually two different things. I am repulsed por the idea of sex, but I don't reject it entirely.

7. Q: Are tu asexual for religious purposes?
A: No, I'm not even religious. I'm spiritual, though. Asexuality is not celibacy. Celibacy is a choice. Asexuality is not a choice.

8. Q: What is the worst part about being asexual?
A: Probably the ridicule I've faced for it.

9. Q: What is the best part about being asexual?
A: I'm not sure. I guess the fact that it makes tu an individual.

10. Q: Does it annoy tu when people misconstrue your being asexual?
A: Yes.

I hope tu enjoyed this blog. There are más blogs to come.

Peace and love,
-Antonia

Catherine's Point of View
One day, I was visiting with my paternal grandparents. A thunderstorm was approaching as we were getting ready to leave. As I was walking to my aunt and uncle's car, I felt a bolt of lightning hit me. I felt the strike, and the siguiente thing I knew, I woke up in my uncle's arms. He said, "Holy cow! I thought tu were dead!" I said, "You did?" He said, "Yeah. tu looked dead." My aunt said, "You really did." I said, "That really hurt." My uncle said, "I think we should get tu to a hospital just to be sure you're okay." Thankfully, I only had minor injuries. The doctor...

It was our first día of high school. Gavin and I were quite nervous, to be honest. The día started out badly. I heard someone make fun of Gavin's accent. The bully asked, "What's up with the cheesy accent?" Gavin replied, "I'm from England, Liverpool, to be exact." The bully said, "Oh, you're from that town where those insects are from. That explains your trashy haircut. tu should be beaten for that." I walked up to the bully and said, "If tu hurt Gavin, tu better make plans for me to hurt you." The bully ran in fear and never bothered us again. Later, I got punched...

I was reluctant to include the eighth grade in the story. There weren't too many good things that happened that year. The only good things that happened that año were a couple of new friends that I made and the fact that I made straight A's. Everything else that happened was bad. The worst thing that happened that año was the death of my maternal grandfather. Although my mother died in childbirth, her parents still wanted to have a relationship with me. I was close to Pops, (that's what I called him). I did at times think he needed to be knocked off of his pompous...

One day, in the seventh grade, I noticed some kids threatening to beat Gavin. I came up to the bullies and said, "Don't beat up my friend. If tu want to beat up someone, do it to me." Gavin said, "Catherine, no! What are tu doing?!" I said, "I'd rather it be me than you!" The bullies began beating on me. Gavin begged the bullies to stop, but his pleas fell on deaf ears. I was outnumbered, so I couldn't fight back. Gavin tried to physically get them off of me, but he was unsuccessful. I said, "Gavin, get out of here! They'll get you, too!" Gavin said, "Hold on, Catherine!...

Christmas Vacation was officially over, and we were back in school. Gavin and I were heading to our siguiente class, and we saw someone being bullied. A group of kids punched a girl in the face, and she fell to the ground. Gavin said, "Come on, Catherine! Let's get those bullies away from her." I said, "I'm right behind you! I can't just stand and watch someone get bullied." We approached the bullies, and Gavin said, "Back off! I've got crutches, and I'm not afraid to use them!" The bullies walked away. I helped the girl to her feet and asked, "Are tu okay?" She said, "Yeah....

A couple of months passed, and Gavin and I became really, really close, but one day, there was something in the air. Whatever it was, Gavin and I got into a horrible argument. I don't remember what we were arguing about, but we dicho some cruel things to each other. I dare not repeat them. I went inicial crying. Later, I decided to make up with Gavin. I went across the calle to his home. His mother answered the door. I said, "I need to talk to Gavin. I want to make up with him." She said, "I'll tell him you're here." A few minutos later, she returned and said, "He's gone."...

One October day, it had started out normally. Gavin and I had a really good día until the last class of the day. We had some free time at the end of the class. There was a girl calling me ugly and deformed. I was upset, but I tried not to mostrar that she got to me. Gavin came up beside me and said, "Hey! Be nice to her!" The girl asked, "What are tu gonna do? Boys can't hit girls." He said, "I know, but if they could, you'd be the first one I'd hit." She said, "But girls can hit boys." He said, "Go ahead! Hit me!" She punched him in the mouth, knocking out a tooth. The...

One September day, I had an experience that would change my life. I noticed that some new neighbors were moving in across the street. I decided to greet my new neighbors, especially since there was a kid my age there. I said, "Hi, I'm Catherine. It's nice to meet you." He said, "Hi, I'm Gavin. It's nice to meet you, too." I said, "Nice accent tu have there!" He said, "Thank you. I'm from Liverpool, England." I said, "Like the Beatles?!" He said, "Yeah. Like the Beatles." Seeing that we were both Beatles fans, I knew we would get along. Gavin seemed so friendly and...

My childhood had a rocky start from día one. My mother was in poor health from the día she learned she was pregnant with me. Although I turned out to be healthy, my mother died in childbirth. Realizing his own mortality, my father named my aunt and uncle as legal guardians if something were to happen to him. My father and my aunt were siblings. One night, when I was three years old, my aunt was babysitting me, and my father never returned, for he was killed in a car accident. As a result, I ended up living with my aunt and uncle. They never had children, so I was basically...

Some time passed, and the members of The Devil Wants Peace began to notice something. John was the only member who didn't have a girlfriend. He did have a girl who was his friend. Her name was Violet, and John had become really good friends with her. She occasionally visited him in the recording studio, (this is not a John and Yoko story, I promise). She admired his general confidence and superb leadership skills. John was very fond of Violet. Once, John got into a terrible argument with Allen. John told violeta about it, and she provided him comfort. She even said, "Work it out with Allen....

The group began to run towards a nearby shelter. Thunder and lightning crashed around them. A bolt of lightning flashed close to them. Allen, Peter, and Stan met in the nearby shelter. Peter said, "That lightning flash was close. Is everyone all right?"...

Because of a busy schedule, The Devil Wants Peace was unable to record another album until 1995. Things had calmed down por then. John was now living on his own, in the mountains of Redshore, in a cabin. One day, during the recording of their album, Out of the Dark Ages, John had agreed to write a song with Peter and Stan. They presented the first two verses of their song to him, and they asked him to come up with a chorus and a third verse. John said, "I'll see what I can do." He went home, and he began to write a chorus. When he finished, he was excited. He dicho to himself, "I can't wait to...

The person on the other line asked if he would come if he was allowed to bring his band mates along. He said, "We come together o not at all."

That night, I had a dream. John Lennon paid me another visit. He said, "John, I came to warn tu that you're still in danger." I was confused. "Danger?" I said. "What are tu talking about?" He said, "Pastor Thomas still wants tu dead. tu need your mates now más than ever." I said, "Okay." I woke up and was troubled. I had bunked with Stan that night.

The Interview
One day, we were asked to go to Devil's Garden for our first preguntas and respuestas interview. I was hesitant about that, because I was treated poorly in Devil's Garden. Peter asked, "Do tu think we should do it?" I said, "I don't know. I'll have to think about it." I really didn't like the idea of facing my past. That night, I had a dream. John Lennon and my grandmother paid me a visit. We were walking in the forest behind Uncle Bob's house. I said, "John, Grandma, I don't know what to do. Should I go to Devil's Garden?" John said, "I think tu should go. tu have nothing to...
