The omens are ... not clear.

Because I saw this somewhere, looked it up, and was too entertained by the results not to recycle this meme: Pick up the book nearest to you and turn to page 45. The first sentence expains your love life.

"In the early 19th century an English convict named William Buckley escaped from a penal colony in Australia and for three decades lived happily with the Wathaurung aborigines."


(From Steven Pinker's The Better Angels of Our Nature: Why Violence Has Declined, which I find fascinating even though I can only read it for about twenty minutes at a time before I get distracted or fall asleep. I'm really curious about what Steve Rogers would make of The Long Peace, and my opinion of Hydra's organizational efficacy is going down with every page I read--I mean, seriously, they've supposedly been agitating for all this time and we never had a World War III?)

Not distressing, no. A little bit "if you're feeling sorry for yourself then you know what you can do about it" upside the head, maybe. Divination tools are like that.

I believe that metaphorical penal colony would be the ideology of 'normal', heterosexist society and the traditional indoctrination therein? So, clearly you're on the right track with the whole having a girlfriend, writing gay porn thing. *g*

Sorry to hear it, but I think the metaphor still holds. 8D
