pink_pet was just posting his top five reasons for being poly. Here are mine.

- I love letting a connection with a new person find its natural level, one that is only lightly influenced by the relationships that I'm already in.
- I need more sex and attention than I would feel good about asking just one person for.
- I love that for some of us, polyamory can be a way to create a network of mutual support, even a chosen family.
- I feel that the level of negotiation and examination necessary to making poly relationships work has really helped me grow as a person over the years.
- Life is unpredictable! Poly allows for relationships to shift more easily over time without having to end, because you are not trying to get all your needs met by one person.

What are your top five reasons for choosing the relationship style that works best for you?

What is your favorite animal?

The feline. Especially, but not exclusively the housecat.

I realize that big cats are dangerous and I have not studied them extensively. I like watching them move on television. But I definitely respect them.

Housecats, on the other hand, are just great. I love how independent they are an how much they have their own personalities. I've never had two that were really alike. I love their curiosity, their snuggliness, their purring... I love that you have to earn their affection. Dogs will love you almost no matter what you do to them (not that that makes it okay to hurt them). But with cats, you are just a meal ticket unless they decide they want you to be more.

Where is one place on earth you've never been, but would love to visit? Why?

I'd love to visit India. It seems such a gorgeous, colorful, complicated place. I love the way that religion seems to permeate the cultural consciousness - I think that's something we're missing in the US. Gods know I don't speak the language and the food would probably be too spicy for me most of the time but I'd still love to see it.

I'd also love to visit Brazil, mostly for the music.

Are any questions asked within the month of March eligible?

Anything that is asked here is eligible. I am also generally fine with people asking me questions in person at all points, though I reserve the right not to answer. I worry I put too much fine print in my initial post about this. But I really love being asked questions.

Okay, that was a short one. :) Lay it on me, folks!
