I have so many things to be grateful for this year. I never thought I would see a time that's so open minded about people and lifestyle choices. I am grateful to live in this world, even if it took me away from mine.

So here it is.

I'm gay.

And I'm an alien.

I don't care who knows it anymore.

	I wish I knew. I grew up on Earth. My parents brought me here but they're dead now so I don't have a lot of answers about where I come from or how I got here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh. I'm so sorry about your parents. Maybe you'll find out one day though. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	They were evil so you don't have to be that sorry. Yeah, maybe I'll find out one day but I don't think so. My planet was destroyed by another race of aliens. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	They were still your parents though. Wow, that must be rough, to have nothing left of your race. But if it makes you feel better, I think you're very well adjusted considering all you've faced in life. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yeah. They were my parents and they wanted to end the world. But they were my parents. In some ways it bugs me because I know I'll never get answers now. Thanks. I guess I am but it's cause of my friends. They've always been there for me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Never say never. It's still possible that you might. I mean, how possible is it to get sucked through a wormhole and end up in Portland? I believe anything can happen now. Family isn't always blood. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lucyinthesky 2014-11-26 08:07 pm UTC (link)
	You're right, the impossible is possible here. Maybe if a mutant showed up that had some kind of way to read my parents through me? I'm not sure. It really isn't. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	leavenedbread 2014-11-26 08:10 pm UTC (link)
	Or maybe someone from your planet before it was destroyed? ~~Or your parents? Wait, that would be bad.~~ There's all this weird time travel stuff going on, so it's possible. All I'm saying is that if it means something to you, you shouldn't lose hope. Maybe when you least expect it, you'll get all the answers you were looking for. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Supposedly I have a fiancee out there somewhere who can probably tell me more. I've never met her though. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	There you go! Anything is possible. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I really hope my parents don't show up here. I miss them, I do. I shouldn't but I do. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	leavenedbread 2014-11-26 08:20 pm UTC (link)
	Sometimes we get used to something, and no matter how bad it is, we still miss it when it's gone. I would say it's a human quality, but I think I'm gonna have to reassess the way I think about human nature. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Where are you from that you didn't know what aliens were? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Well, if I'm understanding all this correctly, then apparently I'm from the future. Earth's future. I live in a nation called Panem, which is pretty much what you call the United States now. Except, civilization as it exists now is a lot more advanced in a lot of ways than in the future, believe it or not.

The Capitol controls our lives. It controls what we do, what we eat, what we learn and what we know. History lessons in school date back only as far as the cataclysmic event that flooded the world and destroyed modern civilization as you know it. Eventually, Panem formed from the survivors, but apart from that not much is known about our past or what sort of knowledge we had about anything outside of our world. We only know what the Capitol tells us. Which is basically that we, the Districts, suck because we rebelled against the Capitol. It's why the Hunger Games were instilled.

	Whoa. That's like majorly uncool. What are the Hunger Games? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	leavenedbread 2014-11-26 10:26 pm UTC (link)
	A boy and a girl from all twelve districts are picked every year to fight each other to the death. There's only one winner. Or at least there used to be, until last year. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lucyinthesky 2014-11-26 10:32 pm UTC (link)
	What? They make kids fight to the death? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	leavenedbread 2014-11-26 10:41 pm UTC (link)
	That's exactly it. It's the most important event of the year, and everyone back home has to watch. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lucyinthesky 2014-11-26 10:56 pm UTC (link)
	That's crazy. I'm really glad you ended up here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	leavenedbread 2014-11-27 04:19 am UTC (link)
	Me too. I mean, this place isn't as bad as the Capitol, right? I've heard some stories. (Reply to this) (Parent)
