Against my better judgement, I'm going to do this. Snagged from Nathan, who will definitely tell me I'm just asking for trouble.

1. Think of the first word that comes to mind when you think of me.
2. Go to http://images.google.com and search for that word.
3. Reply to this post with one of the pictures on the first page of results -- don't tell me the word.
4. Put this in your own blog so that I can do the same.

Are you still going to Mass? Do you feel guilty for being involved with men?

[youngerpetrelli]

I just do the Christmas and Easter thing -- and now maybe not even that, since it was kind of a family thing... And no. I refuse to feel guilty for loving, even if the one I love is a man. Except... well, I do kind of feel I'm going to hell for... you know.

[changehistory.livejournal.com]

Why one and not the other, then? All the precepts are the same...in fact there's far more of a lashing out about the loving another man than there is about the...other.

[youngerpetrelli]

To tell you the truth, I don't really know... I actually thought it went the other way, but I haven't actively studied Church doctrines since I realized what they were saying about how I felt...

[changehistory.livejournal.com]

Hmmm, well. I had it jammed down my throat for far longer, I suppose. Most of the precepts for the other are hetero-oriented anyway, and clearly aimed at not producing deformed offspring.

[youngerpetrelli]

Well, seeing as I don't want to produce any offspring, I think I'm pretty safe there...

[changehistory.livejournal.com]

Never?

[youngerpetrelli]

I'm scared of what could happen considering my genetics...

[changehistory.livejournal.com]

This is not the part where I say it would be fascinating to find out, is it?

[youngerpetrelli]

*eyebrow* Um... no, I'd say not. *uncomfortable* I think it could be too dangerous.

[changehistory.livejournal.com]

Why?

[youngerpetrelli]

Seriously? Have you honestly thought about what I can do? At how dangerous I could be if I lost control? I'm already too unpredictable -- my DNA, combined with someone else's? It could be disastrous!

[changehistory.livejournal.com]

It could also be the next leap forward in human evolution. You are .... the pinnacle of what the human body can do, Peter. Even among the evolved...you've surpassed us all.

[youngerpetrelli]

*softly, scared* I know -- I can barely control it at times and I'm an adult -- what happens if my child is as powerful as I am, and he has a tantrum? How do we stop something like that? I'm scared, Adam...

[changehistory.livejournal.com]

Perhaps innate control is the next step forward. If you'd been taught, guided from a young age--if you'd manifested earlier and around people who knew what to look for--how much more in control would you be now? *soft sigh* I have faith in you. You're learning to control your powers, and I'm sure you'll get stronger at it each day.

[youngerpetrelli]

*softly* Okay... maybe not never. But definitely not for a while. I just-- it's too dangerous, and I won't give them something else they can use against me...

[changehistory.livejournal.com]

Well, not for a while is good. I might cry if I risked losing you to a pretty face so soon.

[youngerpetrelli]

*softly* I don't want you to cry!

[changehistory.livejournal.com]

Well, then. Probably is best to leave off the baby having for a bit.

[youngerpetrelli]

Seriously not a problem. Maybe by the time I'm ready for that kind of thing, we'll have some way of predicting what the heck ability I might pass on...

[changehistory.livejournal.com]

That's always a possibility.

[youngerpetrelli]

Well, we'll file it away as something to think about later. Much later.

[changehistory.livejournal.com]

Fair enough, then. Much later sounds good.

[youngerpetrelli]

I thought so. *smiles*

[changehistory.livejournal.com]

Maybe I'll try it again one day.
