Here’s what I wrote the very first time I signed a book by me.

Here’s the Asexual Leadership Q&A panel–David Jay, me, and Sara Beth Brooks. We’re taking questions about the movement and our leadership.

The college paper The Varsity came by to take my picture for a feature.

A prompted selfie with Sara Beth and Cole–whee!

Cole, me, Sara Beth, ace convention!

Since it was an asexuality conference, there of course needed to be cake.

Cake at ace conference!

Here I am with Alexandra–quite an exuberant fan of mine, who treated me and David like we were celebrities or something. Hahaha.

Me with Alexandra, a big fan!

Poor Southie was so sleepy after the long drive the previous day and doing the conference the whole day that she was practically drunk, and still nerding on the computer.

I decided to take the cute purse Kari made for me on its maiden voyage . . . to Canada!

Purse made by Kari!

I was kind of surprised that the first thing I did in my Canadian hotel room was turn on the air conditioning. The Florida girl is hot in Canada? No way!

AC is on in Canada!

I got some local currency at the airport when I went to Canada. Can I blend in with the natives?

Canadian Currency!

I was so afraid I would get lost roaming the neighborhood looking for food, but I found a sushi restaurant and actually didn’t get lost! If it looks like I’m about to cry, it’s because honestly succeeding at finding my way someplace without getting lost actually does make me emotional. 🙂

While visiting my dad, Ash wanted to eat the water bottle.

We visited my grandmother with Ash for the first time and this photograph captures four generations–great-grandma/grandpa, grandpa, mom/dad, and son.
