Eh, cliches don't bother me if I'm in the mood for them. Actually I kinda prefer them because I like knowing pretty much what i'm gonna get with a story. When writers start trying to "bust" cliches or whatever it usually comes off as "look at my story! I totally tried to make this really original! Aren't I great!?". I'd much rather be entertained that get a story that has a lot of depressing, unentertaining crap in it just because it's trying to be unique. I'm not saying unique is bad, I'm just saying that stories don't need to avoid cliches to be good and entertaining. But I get why people get sick of the cliches. One thing though, I've noticed that in most stories wealth isn't mentioned and when it is and the characters are poor the writers usually try shoving political messages about sharing and charity and how horrible life is for poor people and, yeah, all good points but I read to get entertained. And reading about how bad it is to be poor isn't entertaining. And on that note, one cliche that I DO hate: a poor guy and a rich guy getting together and the poor guy getting all pissy and offended whenever the rich guy tries to spend any money on him. It just really annoys me when people can't accept much needed help from someone they claim to be in love with.

My mom's worked for IBM for almost 40 years now and I can safely say that if I've learned anything in my life from her it's that you do NOT buy IBM laptops. They ALWAYS break. For some reason we've never had much of a problem with the desktops though.

Don't they charge your card if you steal pillows and towels and stuff like that? Either way I don't take stuff from hotels. I usually end up bringing my own pillows/shampoo/soap/etc or buying it because the stuff they have is so bad. But then again I usually stay in, like, Super 8's and Quality Inn's. It might be different if I stayed in a Hilton suite or something.

Seriously? People actually voted for that? I'd love to hear a reason. I mean I know there's at least one line in the bible that talks about gays being evil (along with a huge ass list of other things) but where does it say anything about interracial marriage? And why is it the Baptists that always go crazy about who's sleeping with who? First the WBC and now this guy? I vote that Baptists replace Catholics as the religious bad guys in the gay stories that need one from now on.

Dude I enjoyed that more than some full length stories I've read. Hell yeah I'd read it!

I support what they're trying to do, but I just can't justify growing a moustache.

Dude I've been excited for MONTHS. I've pretty much spent all of last week wishing for the day to be over so it'll be closer to the 11th. Now it's only 6 days away and I. Can't. WAIT!!!

1: Nope. But that's probably because I've always been more of a one side or the other type of bi, I don't really have many middle of the road days. When I dated girls I wanted to date girls, now I date guys. I've been with my boyfriend for over four years and I've never once wanted him to be a girl. 2: I definitely do. Except with me it's gay days and bi days. 3: Actually my boyfriends more bi than I am and we've both wanted to try a threeway for a while, one with another guy and one with a girl. But I'd never want a fuck buddy on the side, and neither would he. Playing around with him is one thing but going out on my own and getting laid is cheating, whether I have permission or not, and I'd feel like shit if I did that.

Yeah he did and I actually read about that a while back. And it would be pretty damn funny and I hope it comes up during the inevitable Da Vinci code remake in 20 or so years, lol.

Leonardo DaVinci is also another possible/probable homosexual historical figure. He even used at least one of his (possible/probable) lovers as a model for religious paintings he did of angels, which is all kinds of deliciously ironic.

Nature and me don't get along but for some reason the thought of going on a long, multi-state bicycle sounds like a lot of fun. Just as long as I could stay on roads and sleep in chain hotels.

Ground Zero, Empire State Building (although be prepared for a 30+ minute wait for the elevator, or lift I guess you'd call it), Museum of Natural History, Grand Central Terminal, TIMES SQUARE and if you can see a show on Broadway you should, they're awesome. All the other usual touristy stuff is great too. And yeah definitely stay away from the subways. If you feel the need to know what you're missing just pee in a bathtub and stand in it for thirty minutes.

I don't really have a favorite quote really but I've always kinda liked this one from Serenity "People don't like to be meddled with. We tell them what to do, what to think, don't run, don't walk. We're in their homes and in their heads and we haven't the right. We're meddlesom."

Troll is basically a safe for work way of saying asshole.

Kinda on a middle school nostalgia kick so: And then just because enough time's passed so I can at least ironically like this one in public:

I'm not saying it's aliens, but it's aliens. See, this is why we need NASA. There's so many interesting things out there in the solar system. Even if we can't afford to send anyone to Mars or back to the moon (which I think is a huge mistake) it's worth the money to find out stuff about how everything began. Answering questions like that is way more important than whining about people being "too rich".

I've been the Spoiler (It's never been as fun as it was when Half Blood Prince first came out) and the Sharing troll before but I'm usually a normal poster everywhere. I'm actually more of a joke/gimmick account than a troll if I'm not gonna post seriously.

Sadly, nothing. We're in the middle of getting ready to (hopefully) move so we don't even have any decorations to put up anymore. Which seriously sucks because we're usually one of the best decorated houses in my neighborhood.

The blasphemy in this topic shocks, shocks me! *storms out in disgust*

O_O Wow, I'd wondered about him for a while now but I never really thought he'd actually turn out gay. It's nice to see someone famous come out while their in the middle of a successful instead of at the end on one. I hope this doesn't hurt his chances of being in more movies though. He's been one of my favorite actors ever since I first started watching Heroes and it'd suck if he didn't do anything big after the next Star Trek. It was a really great article too and he came off as a normal person, not arrogant or full of himself at all. Congratulations Zach!

The Lounge mostly. And Q&A when there's something interesting in there. I used to visit the Soapbox a little but I never posted much and I don't read it anymore. If I did I'd probably spend all day there arguing and getting annoyed that everyone doesn't automatically agree with me, lol. So I stay away.

Someday I'll probably write something and send it in to Amazon and see if it sells but right now I just write for me. But, as much as I do it for myself, I wouldn't be nearly as into it if I didn't get feedback from people. I love the feeling I get from knowing that someone likes something I've written, it gives me a sense of self worth that I don't usually have. Which sounds all kinds of pathetic, I know.

For me it changed a lot over the years. I started getting attracted to guys pretty soon after I started getting attracted to girls, around 12 IIRC. But back then I never wanted to date a guy or have any relationship with one. I only wanted relationships with girls and I was only curious about sex with guys. I had a few girlfriends from 14-15, one of which I lost my virginity to, and most ended in what could nicely be called apocalyptic disaster. After that I didn't wanna date anyone for a while but I started getting really turned on by the thought of finally having sex with a guy. I even joined one of those "meet up for sex" websites when I was 18 but I was too scared to ever go through with it, lol. Somewhere in all that I decided I wanted to try maybe dating a guy, something I never thought about at all till then. When I was 20 I met my first/current boyfriend and we got together and it was a bit weird at first getting used to dating someone who could lift me up instead of the other way around but now I don't think I could ever date a girl again. I find guys way more attractive than girls but I still get turned on by straight porn and every once in a while kinda have a short lived urge to have sex with a girl again. But mostly it's all about the guys now, lol. I have no idea why things changed so much. I don't know if things like that are common or if I'm just weird, but that's the saga of my bisexuality. I think I'm more of the first type than the second though. When I'm looking for gay porn I usually like the ones with kinda feminine looking guys but I'd much rather have sex with a guy who's more on the manly side, so I'm not really looking for a "chick with a dick" type of thing. It's kinda weird though, because with my boyfriend I get really turned on by being the more submissive one in bed, but with a girl it's the opposite. Maybe I'm misogynistic-sexual or something but a dominant woman turns me off as much as a dominant guy turns me on. Like I said, weird, lol. Awesome topic though

Happy Birthday!
