x2 on the computer bit LOL He and I have kissed and held hands in public. We kissed once or twice in a small park in the known gay-friendly area of DC (yes, with plenty of people and tons of traffic around). We later made out in a small ice cream parlor, though we were the only customers and the one worker had her back turned. More recently, we went to Six Flags in MD and held hands after riding the bumper cars and were walking towards the exit. No, I won't hump him in public, because I think PDA beyond hand holding the occasional "peck kiss" is uncalled for. Nobody wants to see it, straight or gay or love-triangle or inter-racial or *rambles on*.

So where does that leave me? I'm in a blissfully monogamous relationship, and Answer 2 doesn't describe me at all. Never have, and never will.

Perverts, the lot of you! As it happens, we're seeing each other the next three days (so excited!!). If you all are good, you might get a picture. Here's a recent one of me, shortly after the last run of a vacation of snowboarding in the Poconos with friends. It was bitterly cold that night (for Americans, bitterly cold is about zero degrees, Farenheit). On top of that, it was windy and snowing. I dressed appropriately with my Under Armor bodyforming "cold" shirt, Under Armor hoodie (which together make ya toasty!), hand warmers, the usual gloves, hat, ski jacket, and added a balaclava (covering the whole face, except the eyes) and my tinted snowboarding goggles. I really need to clear goggles for nighttime riding. All this gear worked wonders on keeping me warm as I sped just north of what seemed like 25+ MPH down some double black diamonds. The reason I want clear goggles is I almost didn't notice the S-turn on that one trail... meh. My terrorist pose:

Eh, I'm running Ubuntu on my desktop and Vista on my laptop. I use my laptop all the time since almost nothing is compatible with Linux, and WINE isn't doing what it's supposed to do. I'll be putting the final release of 7 on the other partition on my desktop, possibly after the first few rounds of updates (or service pack).

You callin' me a woman?? lol

I did! I posted a new pic over a year ago.

The worst drink in American is made by Cold Stone Creamery. What did you expect? You gain 20 pounds just by looking at the place!

See, what I'm wondering is who the other four commandos were. The five that were outside had to have noticed that Helen was not alone. I would venture a guess that Scar and Survov are the only "baddies" left on that plane. Hell, it might even be up to Brandon to land that plane. Doubt it though... since we know Felecia is aboard, and possibly Walter as well. As for the title... I'd say some combination of the following will be taking flying lessons: Scar, Eric, the bombs. That, or Scar holes himself up in the cockpit and nosedives. He's not above suicide to avoid capture, or avoid being killed by "the traitorous bitch" and her lackeys.

Good to see that the pretty people are still here! Not gonna single anyone out since you're all good looking and my boyfriend checks GA more than I do and I don't want to get into trouble. k thx bai

Nice hair, Pai. Makes you look hot! Not that you weren't already.

Eric.... We're you feeding him? *runs away cackling*

See, being gay, I want to be with boys. Luckily John is very much a boy... he genuinely likes sports. Now if I can just get him off the idea of sending me to a hair salon when my hair gets long, we'll be good to go! hehe Personally I think the term "straight acting" has no real meaning. The term itself suggests that there are things that straight people do which no gay person does, and that's entirely false. Straight men love cars and sports. John loves sports. I love cars. We're both completely gay. Big deal.

That was wrong...

Streaking on the boardwalk.

I already said it privately but HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! Now we're only three years apart again!

Hey Beastie, maybe we'll see you in DC next year! I can't wait to get back to my once a month visits. I'm celebrating having finally finished replacing/upgrading the front brakes on my car. The passenger side rotor was frozen to the f**king hub and I had to beat the living daylights out of it with a 3 lb sledge hammer. Poor thing looks like a disaster now LOL. Though the car stops better now!

Why is the Miss USA pageant still in existence?

I played Sims 2 for a long while... then when playing with the sims got boring (kept doing the same shit over and over, and each neighborhood was saturated with gay men LOL) I started building mansions, and that was it. Never had anyone move in, just built them. I tried reproducing Croft Manor from the Tomb Raider movies.

Should be a lot more interesting now that the sims can wander the neighborhood aimlessly.

I would like to point out that Eric has made a career out of bottoming, and he has rather cheap ass. Good day! *runs away*

Actually yes, we do. This sort of thing is very serious and if it goes in any undesired direction you would be labeled as a child molester or a sex offender, even if you really are neither of those. John and I first realized we liked each other as more than friends when he was a minor, and we chose to wait until he was an adult (18) before making any sort of public announcement of that (on GA). We didn't even meet face to face until several months after that. I know of a guy who fell in love with another man was A LOT younger than he, well into the minor years, and they did not doing anything until the younger man was 18+. It's a lot safer that way. Mark is right, sometimes you need a slap in the face to get back into reality. We're not saying you can't have Dave, we're saying you need to be very cautious, in order to protect your own future. You don't want it to be a state correctional facility.

Even so, I bet 99% of the world has never heard it, while most of the world has heard of or experience homophobia.

Honestly I think the best translation of the word "homophobia" is "the fear of homosexuality". People can fear it for any number of reasons, though I think one of the biggest is they don't understand it. A straight guy doesn't understand how a gay guy can love and make love to other men, since he has only ever loved and made love to women. Gay men, on the other hand, often go through phases in their adolescent development which causes them to love, or try to love, women. Thus, they understand how a man can love a woman and the term "heterophobia" has yet to be coined (I think). How that fear reaches the surface is different for everyone. Some will keep it inside themselves and smile when confronted with that fear, preferring not exacerbate the issue. Unfortunately, many will try to do something about it. Like a person who fears spiders and is confronted by one, they will attempt to eliminate that which is frightening them through violence, or general malevolent actions (Proposition 8 comes to mind, among other unconstitutional laws). But, that's just the ramblings of someone who got four hours of sleep, then washed and waxed his car, and then attended a 12 hours BBQ/Cruise/Birthday party. My head hurts.

I would leave the relationship at "friends". A four year age difference is meaningless until you look at the actual ages. 42 and 46 is nothing. 18 and 22 makes some people uncomfortable (I've been called a cradle robber more than once... yeesh, he's 19 in a few weeks!). 14 and 18 is unacceptable almost anywhere. You might not think so, but the cop with the hand cuffs does.

Not in my very conservative county. Plus, Corzine shoved his foot up his own ass, and I think the dems are gonna pay for it come election time. Yes taxes are horrible, I get raped with every pay check and I'm well below the poverty line. I made $4000 last year and they still forgot the vaseline. Luckily, I'm not a home owner, so I don't have to pay an exit tax when I move out. That's right, if you own a home in NJ and wanna move out of state, you have to pay them. Geez, and everyone thought the mafia was bad. I might not be gay enough to have fashion sense, but I 'm gay enough to bitch slap you! lol
