So basically I'm in hyper-crush mode for Lugh. I have a thing for men in power.

I haven't seen it yet, but anyone who has netflix with instant watch can watch the series as the episodes come out. So, I'll be checking that out a little bit later.

Here's my view on the whole deal. I will send suggestive photos and texts, but I steer clear of the realm of sexually explicit. I prefer sexually implicit texting. It's more fun and there's wordplay and when done correctly it's better than my most frequented method of...alleviating frustration. If you want the good stuff, though, you really gotta do more than text me. And I don't mean a phone call, unless it's you telling me to meet you somewhere. Oh yeah, morals and standards, for the win.

Ah, your snow is intimidating, but my entire little town is closed down. Click here for details

That's a lovely idea, actually; but, at the same time, just because we don't portray ourselves as intelligent individuals all the time (or ever on the forums, if you're me) doesn't mean that we aren't, in fact, the most amazing people ever. In chat, I've had some amazingly intellectual moments (in which I impress myself) and some uber-ditzy moments (in which I, also, impressed myself). I'd like to think that the forums are a good jumping off point for chat. In that they help you to figure out what you think about topics and maybe gauge other's reactions to the same topics. At the same time, chat is a whole 'nother beast. It requires you to be witty on the spot and to react to group sentiment, which you have to be able to sense. For beginners, I would recommend the forums, initially, and, then, maybe some chat lurking before you try to play with the big boys, because they will eat you up. Find your advocate, then find your voice, and remember that it's okay not to jump into every single conversation, because you will NOT understand everything. Speak on what you know, ask for clarification on what you don't know and I think you'll be fine. I, conveniently, missed a lot of the big drama, but I can vouch for many of the regulars and say that they've been stand-up guys. And the women are alright, too. I still stand by my previous comments, but I say it in chat, and I, honestly, mean it: This is a community and we should make everyone feel welcome. (What I don't say is that we can talk about them when they're gone, but I think it's implied...j/k) GA Chat is like a club within the entirety of the community, and I am proud to be a part of it. It seriously makes my day. I know that there are problems, but I can't wait for it to be back. Also...my grammar sucks. Deal with it.

I'm waiting for the hot, sweaty Sam and Larry Adama frak-scene. There was a lot of usage of the word "frak" in the last episode, did anybody else notice that? I want to say something intelligent about Sam that sums up all of my thoughts about him, but I can't because he is such an interesting character.

For me, it's not a sexuality thing. I know who I am and I am happy to be a man (there is a certain part of me that I'm most fond of). But, usually, when I play video games I automatically go for the female characters. I've been doing it my whole life. And if I choose to be a male character, or I am forced to, I surround myself with the female characters. It's probably something Freudian, but I think I do it because it works. I have this theory that female characters get extra buffs, so when I'm playing RPGs or fighting games, I use them, and subsequently, dominate. But in FPSs (like CoD) or casual gaming (like Rockband), I'm a dude, as close to myself as possible. My gamertag always identifies me as male, so I'm not living through my characters. And boobs are great, but it's not like I masturbate to them. I don't really know. Is it really that weird?

You're right, I didn't mean to be a dick; we could afford an attitude adjustment. Personally, I could use an attitude adjustment from time to time.

I don't see Lacey's alternative working out. We're gonna be so dull.

Dude, honestly, I'm surprised at how careful everyone is with their minors now-a-days. Everybody behaves. I was a minor on this site once. It was a culture shock and it may have had some lasting effects on my psyche, but look how I turned out. And I did it without any stinkin' rules.

Also, when Lugh is away...I am the usurper king of the chat. This has been established in chat, I just thought I would publish it. So, uh, I can be your captain, too.

I'm not even a regular, I'm a guest star, and I have to say I do well enough for myself. There are cliques and I don't pretend to be in all of them, but I do try to be included. My desire for inclusion combined with my general awesomeness makes it fun. And I've been known to shut down a newbie or two or completely exclude someone, and I'm not proud of it, but I've been shut down, myself. Basically, my addition to the rules is: "Don't be a bitch."

I know, right? I feel the exact same way. But if I can put a pic up then you can, too.

Show myself? Okie, fine.

The monotheists are labeled terrorists. We know that Ben was the one that blew up the train, he was a terrorist, but Zoe, I don't think she had any intention of hurting anyone. There's more going on there than we think. But just about the show, in general: yeah, it's pretty sweet.

Right...I count Wiccan and Hulkling about as much as I do Northstar and Anole. Ask anyone short of a fanboy or someone looking for them who they are and they'll be, like, "who?" They are far from mainstream. Come on, dude. On another completely unrelated note, you left out the Fable series. It's definitely one of the most gay friendly RPGs ever.

Oh my, that video got me a little excited. I haven't played it yet, but I'll probably pick it up sometime now that it's been mentioned. But me, I'm still holding out on a mainstream gay superhero. I've wanted that since I was little. I mean, I got a black president, so maybe one day it'll happen.

I'm not a fan of clothes, for the most part, in general, so I jump at the opportunity to walk around barefoot. For me, it's totally natural. I like being able to feel with my feet. It's totally hippy-ish of me, but whatever. We all have our quirks.

I'm in one of those why not moods. I have a feeling that in a few hours I'll remember, but in the meantime:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Hi Vic, you're officially my mother's age. YAY you, congratulations, though, for real.

Here's a picture of Raq and me at prom.

It's good to know that I'm not the only crazy person in the world. Except I don't have an excuse...well that introspective moment sucked.

As far as I'm concerned the stereotypes exist for a reason, but if you're doing something with you life and you know it, then you're above all of that. You can prove it to other people if you want to, but first you have to convince yourself that you're not somebody worth being ashamed of. You know, that you deserve to have sex if you want to, just like everybody else (has the right to, not does), that you have the right to be proud of who you are; you have the right to be anything you want: a doctor, a compy nerd, a rock star, or even just a flamer. You're a people just like they're a people. So if you have to prove anything let it be to the people who count. Besides everybody's closed their eyes and...yeah, you know where I'm going with this. I probably should have stopped a little while ago... K, bye. P.S. I know I'm constantly looking for vindication, but I know that I don't need it. Do you?

Yes, I made it and there's still time. HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRO!!!! Welcome to the club. It's been a long time coming. I can't wait until you start feeling that BIG 1-8. It feels the same at first, but...yeah. It's like...BOOSH...BANG...WOW! SO live it up! (with discretion...don't pull a Greg, that would be bad.) *You can't see it right now, but I'm doing the birthday dance for you*

The perfect kiss, is the quiet romantic one that happens after you've finally decided that you're comfortable enough with yourselves and others to hold hands. And you see something awkward on the tv like someone just like you two and you both find yourselves licking your lips and moving closer to each other and hesitating, but then you shy away. But then something inside of you clicks and you realize that you want to be with this person, damn the consequences. So you move a little closer do the little cheesy arm thing only to have them lean in first and then suddenly you find yourself utterly intimate with the person, inside of them without penetration, without permission, battle for control, yet appeased when you don't have it. And then you pull away for a second and you want to do it all over again, but instead you smile for a second and go back to your side of the couch. That's prety perfect for me.
