Moonjeli, I will see to restoring my license as a notary public, and then will help your family if I can. You do not deserve to be excluded due to such a technicality.

Fiddlers Green That's very fortuitous Mute Coyote. Or rather, it can be. Regardless, it was good to see, ja? surprised Most definitely! Sometimes I feel downright spoiled having an area so full of wildlife right near campus, even if it isn't very big. I'm pretty sure I've even spotted nutria down there a couple times.

@MoonJeli You need to set up advance health care directives that allow you and your partners to make medical decisions for each other.
You would have to research the details for your state, but advance directives can supersede blood family rights. You can also allow more than one person to be your health care agents. The more specific you are in the document, the less able physicians and hospitals will be to ******** with you. I'm not saying that hospitals and physicians are only out to get you, but if you are not legally married or you do not want blood family visiting or making health care decisions for you in in the event you are incapacitated, the advance directive will handle that. Also, if you start asking questions that people don't want to answer, they will find ways to kick you out of the decision-making process, and if you're not legally married you need the advance directive to force them to listen to you.
Another important thing besides the paperwork is to discuss your wishes not only your partners but as many people who are close to you that you trust to advocate for you. The more people you trust who know what medical treatment you would want, whether you do not want to be resuscitated, where you would like to be buried, if you would like to be buried, etc., the more likely you are to actually receive that treatment.
I'm part of a BDSM education group in my city and our meeting last week was about using wills, powers of attorney, and advance directives to protect "non-traditional" (really, non-legal) relationships. All of the things that happen automatically with legal marriage have to be carefully set up in its absence.

Like I said, it'd be a helluva lot easier. We're working on the legal aspect, and it's no fun. It's almost impossible to cover all your bases. It's the whole access thing that's hardest. With a legal marriage, it's easy and pretty much automatic -- and unchallenged. But yeah, we're working on it.
This is all assuming if something happens we can even afford to go to the hospital. *lol*

Aeon Flux, the animated tv show, is some of the most surreal TV I've seen in a long long time.

LadyBanhammer I just finished watching Ergo Proxy. I think it shattered my brain a little bit. But in a good way. ^^;;;; Ergo Proxy is win. Now you have to watch Noein and Wolf's Rain That is, of course, assuming you've already watched Full Metal Alchemist, Lain and Ghost in the Shell. The Anime adaptation of Tales from Earthsea is also awesome. Sword of the Stranger too.

Mmmmm, Miyazaki and Paprika.
I'm so upset that Disney hasn't released the licensing for Whisper of the Heart yet.
