Thanks for the nice comments! I don't want to get my student loans deferred if I can pay them back at all because I don't want to have them for the rest of my life! Right now, I can afford to HOPEFULLY get them paid off in ten(ish) years! This seems fair to me... I'll just not spend as much on other stuff.

I have talked to my BF about my attraction to women. It seems like he might be threatened by the idea . . . I know he doesn't want me to be alone with a woman (sexually), but I don't want to be some sort of show for guys to see me with a lady (you know - really dehumanizing!!)
So if I'm to be with a lady at this point in our relationship there has to be a medium where both him and I are comfortable and he doesn't feel threatened.
I don't know if it'll ever work or happen . . .

BTW, I saw Xavier Rudd at Bumbershoot last summer and he is really rad!!! I hope you have a great time at the show!

Xavier was at Bumbershoot?!? Jesus, how did I miss that? I haven't been to Bumbershoot in about 6-7 years. Grad school and having a kid kinda got in the way of that. Last time I went, we saw Cake and G. Love. They were awesome. That must have been '01 or '02.

Yeah, student loans sucked. I worked hard and got them paid off in 6 years, even with having to defer them for about 6 months during that first year. Actually, I still kept paying like $10 a month, because I got an interest deduction for having an automatic monthly payment. Maybe a lowered payment would be an option if things get really tight.

Sounds like you're in a tough situation relationship-wise. I'm sure you'll sort it all out eventually, but it might not be easy. Good luck!
