Kame No Tabi (A Turtle's Travels)

BIG NEWS EVERYBODY! For those of you who haven't read this entry on my girlfriend Jenn's LJ, I have big news. I am allowed to read turtlecest again. This is a BIG step for Jennifer. I am very proud of her. We have been talking about it for a long time in counseling, and she basically has told me that she doesn't enjoy turtlecest, but I am allowed to look at it as long as she doesn't have to see it. :)

It makes me VERY happy that she loves me enough to trust me with this privilege. She has told me that she loves me TOO much to have something like different tastes in pornography tear us apart. That makes my heart overflow with joy.

I took my time in posting this entry for 2 reasons:
1) I didn't want ANYONE on my f-list to think Jenn is wishy-washy or ANYTHING bad about her just because she changed her mind. This is COMPLETELY untrue. Jenn and I have gone through a TON of counseling together and a LOT of soul-searching and revelations. 3 BIG things I think have helped bring about this decision in Jenn. a) Jenn's uncle and grandfather APOLOGIZED to her, making incest not seem like such a huge scary thing, b) we talked a LOT about WHY she doesn't like me reading it, and I assured her that those fears were unfounded, and c) when I fucked up recently, she spent a lot of time thinking about what life would be like if we were apart, and consider if t-cest is enough to pull us apart.
2) I didn't want Jenn to feel completely BOUND by this decision in case she changed her mind (that's also the reason I haven't looked at much 'cest yet) I wanted to make sure that if she DID change her mind, she wouldn't feel pressured by any post I had made.

I still feel bad that I was EVER dishonest with Jennifer, and it *WILL* take some time to FULLY earn that trust back. However, I feel as though a GIANT weight has been lifted off both my shoulders and our relationship. I don't feel the need to go and seek out 'cest, but it feels wonderful knowing that if I do go trolling for fic, I don't have to be super-careful not to click on 'cest, and that if I see a 'cest story I want to read, I can read it without repercussions. I love my Jennifer SO much. She is made of awesomesauce and I know that we are meant to be together XD

Jennifer's love and trust make me SO happy. It makes my heart ache because she loves me SO much! *sends love to my Jenn-Jenn*

I am an asshole. I don't deserve Jenn and she would be completely justified if she decided to leave me...

*sai*

( For those who aren't friends with Jenn, and can't read her f-locked post, explanation under this cut )
PLEASE VERBALLY ABUSE ME IN THE COMMENTS SECTION. I COMPLETELY DESERVE IT.

THIS IS AN OFFICIAL APOLOGY!

( I refuse to be that punk who will never admit when she is wrong. )

Comment on this post and I will choose seven interests from your profile. You will then explain what they mean and why you are interested in them. Post this along with your answers in your own journal so that others can play along.

xiilnek gave me these 5 things from a similar meme:

1. Ninja Turtles (naturally)
I Luv TMNT. It has always been my main fandom. Why? Because Mutant Turtles are awesome! I don't particularly know WHY they hold my attention so well. I watched the 1st TMNT movie because I was interested in animatronics, and the concept really intrigued me. I just love the characters and their interaction.
2. Fanart
I love fanart for the same reason I adore the original Mirage TMNT series. It's awesome to see different people's stylistic interpretations of a character or an idea! :D
3. Animorphs (I DID NOT KNOW YOU LIKED THEM TOO *Flail*)
*flails back* hee hee. I got into animorphs because I had just read a book where this girl turns into a were-cat, and I liked books with transforming in them. I picked up #2 (it had just came out) and I was hooked. I enjoyed the terra-sci-fi aspect of it (For those who don't know, Terra-Sci-Fi is science fiction that is presented in a way that it could be happening right now and the general public just doesn't know about it) But as the series went on, it went from terra sci-fi to just plain sci-fi. Also, the Yeerks got too powerful. I like a defeatable enemy. *sigh* But it started out awesome!
4. slashfic
This is one that I really should remove *goes and does so* I *USED* to like slashfic because it was generally written better and more thoughtfully than het was, but like many people on my f-list, I feel t-cest and slashfic in general has seemed to get just as inundated (if not more so) with bad fic and bad authors.
5. Kitties!
NYAR KITTIES! I have 2 kitties, Shannon and Chang. I will pic spam u with them now! :D( Kitty!spam behind cut )

And a long while ago, moronqueen asked me about THESE 7:

1. angry beavers
This is an older Nicktoon (around the same time as Rocko) I loved this show! It rocked socks! It was so random and spazzy. Dagget was/is one of my FAVORITE characters of all time, just because he's so spazzy. ;)
2. black-haired inuyasha
I like the anime "Inuyasha", and I especially love it when the half-demon title character loses his demon powers on nights of the new moon and becomes just a human. Maybe because I like my heroes to be a bit vulnerable. Black-haired inuyasha is the first and only crush I've ever had on a human anime character.
3. case closed
This is an awesome detective anime. It's about a cocky teen detective who is shrunk to kid size and has to try to solve mysteries while dealing with the dismissive way that the public generally regards kids with. I like it because it encapsulates a story into every ep, so most episodes can be watched as stand alone episodes. It kinda reminds me of Encyclopedia Brown. Also, I saw an episode (or maybe read a manga chapter) where Conan (the kid detective) was going to get some kind of formula that let him be adult in the next episode, but I never got to see the next ep... does anyone know about this?
4. hermes
Hermes is the talking motorad (motorcycle) from my favorite anime series, Kino's Journey! :) He has an attitude that's part curious child, part whiney busybody. He's fun. I am surprised I've never seen a romance fic between Kino and him tho. hee hee.
5. jthm
Johnny, The Homicidal Manic is a somewhat underground B&W comic I got into when I was in high school. It's done by a minnesotan, Jhohan Vasquez (or however it's spelled) He later went on to create invader Zim, and thus his earlier stuff got famous. It's a VERY dark humor, and now that I look back and re-read some of his comics, I wonder if it somewhat contributed to my depression at that time... hmm...
6. naughtiness
I like naughtiness that doesn't hurt anybody. I also enjoy occasional smut ;)
7. poking things with sticks
I LIKE TO POKE THINGS *pokes mandy_nyar*
