...from your heading, because I was really so taken by the excellent phrasings on your profile page:
"A Metaphor Gone Metastatic-nearly a prosthetic memory"
That's how life, and lives, and fantasies, and worlds, and fears and all, are created, so I really thank you for that curious turn of phrase! You can see that it would open the door that this 'decorative pride' re: polyamory could be anything from a row of shrunken heads (popular elsewhere on the journal) to a little bug-catching box with photos of smiling faces in it, to any other visual translation...while the pin is charming, I was almost disappointed at its mundanity!
I can't take credit for the phrasing -- I must refer you to lmbujold, who's won 4 Hugo Awards for Best Novel, and 1 for Best Novella. "A metaphor gone metastatic" is how her character Mark describes his internal state, and "nearly a prosthetic memory" is something that character Simon Illyan exclaims over a delightful little device that winds up saving his ass.
