is Tara gay?

This was inspired in part by profshallowness's post defending Spike/Tara.

So, thinking about Tara's sexuality and how it's essentially undefined except that she's in a relationship with Willow. In fact, cannot think of a single instance of her being even mildly attracted to anyone other than Willow. I cannot think of another character who's attentions are so uni-directional. Even Anya we know had at least two male lovers (Olaf and Xander)... the closest I can think of for Tara is the everyone-has-a-crush-on-Jonathan in "Superstar," but that's stretching it a bit. Now, that Tara is Willow-sexual is absolutely unquestionable, but I think the rest of her sexuality isn't particularly sharply defined.

two more items off the to-do list:

I just completely revamped my user interests for the first time in three years of LJing. I've added and subtracted some over the course of those three years, but this is the first time I just sat down and entirely redid it. For the record, here are the ones on the new list unique to me: Aeryn/Zhaan, Blackie Ryan, Blackie/Sean, extracanonical pairings, fishing as metaphor, gvambat, mcgonagall/hermione, multishippers, polyfannishness, purple plastic watches, trifictionality, tritextuality, unpopular fannish opinions. Come on. I KNOW I'm not the only one interested in "fishing as metaphor." :p

According to news.au, likely new Popes are Dionigi Tettamanzi of Italy and Francis Arinze of Nigeria.

Other possible contenders include Germany's Joseph Ratzinger, the Vatican's doctrinal enforcer who delivered the homily at John Paul's funeral; Claudio Hummes, the Archbishop of Sao Paulo in Brazil; and Honduran Oscar Rodriguez Maradiaga. I'm still confused about which one is Luis Menendez. I note with sadness that Sean Cronin seems an unlikely choice. I should probably keep checking Google news, but suspect I'll just let LJ tell me when they choose someone.
