Why can't it be both? Probably is just a way to take your monies, but that doesn't really mean you cant actually go through with it. Doesn't mean much to me; I'm not much for holidays in general though. Only one I remotely value is the birthday, as it actually needs th e person to remember something about you... Goodness knows I won't remember an anniversary for the life of me. I'd rather grt a dinner date; much more possibilities. ;D And, you know, it's food. I love food. It's also more romantic, if done appropriately.

*raises hand* I'm kind of waaaaayyyy to prideful to /really/ do it, but I have coerced and twisted arms before, in my own way; eheheh... Do you know the muffin man? ;D

Yes

If you're a big, muscley guy, yes.

The Internet. Illogical, I know, but I honestly feel my best just sitting here. The computer doesn't often give me headches... When it does, though.... Everyone's frakked. 8D Would you ever use underhanded means to get your way? Guilt, threats, sexual frustration?

Danks, ma'am!! For the,helpful words. My hands are a bit tied at the moment (phones are crap for web-surfacing...) But I'll check out that stuff ASAP. I did notice the horrible indenting, but it was late and I was being barked at, so couldn't fix... Intended to do so today, but l I can't get much of anything done on this phone.

Sounds like it. My mouth is watering just thinking about it. I love pizza. *shakes fist at the coasts*

Soren grimaced and shut his eyes tightly as a metal clang rippled through the air. Within moments, the crowd that lined the bleachers around him erupted into loud cheers, the people rising to their feet. Soren himself grinned widely, as his eyes opened to reveal his teammate, Cody, midway to first base. It was an empty gesture, however, as the baseball flew out of the field. “Way to go, Cody!” Soren shouted excitedly, cupping his hands around his mouth. “Woo!” “You’re up, Soren,” said the coac

Stuff happens, a lot; everyone has something going on. Cody's parents are divorced; his father's aloof, his mother hates his gut. Evelyn is smothered by an overprotective father. Luka struggles with a broken home and an uncertain future. Noel exists, the third son of a single, low-income father. Raquel has no parents; her brothers, gangster ties. Soren's, well Soren. One fine summer afternoon, life steamrolls, and the six must stick together--perhaps to even stay alive.

Whoa. Sounds like you led and continue to lead an interesting life. I agree, though, that being gay doesn't have to be a center of one's life. It certainly isn't for me. Glad to know you're happy with your life, though, despite your weaker points. I don't necessarily agree that you'd be dead if you had attended that meeting, but that's a minor point. Cheers, yo. o/o/o/o/ Uh. So it is possible for someone to hate themselves for it. Goddamn, life is weird. Though, a secret--just between you and I--I can't really /say/ the word either. I don't think I've ever actually said the words "I'm gay." Not easily. I'll /admit/ that I'm attracted to guys (with the ever graceful words "I like guys"), but the word itself... it feels strange, to say it. I don't blame you. It's a lot of posts, lolololololololol. I put it off for hours, just to not have to read it, aha. I force myself, though. No ramblings, though; it all made sense. Not much I can say, though, aha. Other than that environment blows, and I hope it improves. I appreciate your expanding of my knowledge, though. ;P

Not much can be said that hasn't already. You and your friend have my condolences, and I'm glad you're standing firmly by your friend, trying to help her through this. I hope she does gather the courage to report it, and follow through with it, as such acts deserve to be punished--especially so if the person showed no remorse. Good luck and Gott bless. o/

/me beats the reply box with a crowbar. It just hate stuff I spent an hour typing up. So, I'm afraid I can't get personal with each of you anymore; I'm not retyping an hour's worth of words. But, anyway, thanks for the words, y'all. I certainly appreciate the help and different views you're providing. Glad to hear there isn't so much self-depreciation in real life, just the fear of coming out--and it's certainly a reasonable and understandable fear, so it seems. Guess the environment really does help shape a person. Though, there are two slightly-off topic things that were brought up... Y_B; understanding does seem to be a difficult thing to do, for many people. I certainly have trouble doing it, at times (as in this case, though I think I'm turning around, thanks to ye lot), and I'm fairly certain most in my life don't really /understand/ me. Know me, maybe. But understand, not probably. Concerning communities and cliques and hypocrisy and, senselessness; people are strange. Even stupid at times. It really does blow my mind how someone of a certain group acts against that group, whether it be silently, or actively (*glances at silly American politicians*). Even outside of homosexuality; I've heard lately that the Hispanic community is aligned against itself at times, the better off speaking against the less. Haven't seen it myself, though, as I've said, I'm outta sync, yo! o/o/o/o/o/o/ Thanks, though, all of you. I appreciate the help, as well as your willingness to share stuff about yourself. With some of the real-life situations shared, I think I'm recognizing that, yeah, it's possible for someone to be afraid of coming out, and the rejection. Let's hope I don't want to violently chainsaw the next angsty gay teen character for being such a spaz. Lol, quotas for upvotes.

Uhhh? You mean I can't just ask pop the question during some overly-romantic planned fiasco? I donno. I'm not much for originality here, aha. Same, yo!

Hmm... Thanks, all three of you. I'm kind of really out of touch with the world. Much like Michael, I haven't really given much thought to the /other/ possible... situations, not until yesterday, when I noticed the similarities. Might be a bit closed-minded of me, but I hadn't really thought it would be as bad for some as it's turned out to be. I guess I'm just quite cynical? Never really thought people could/would really disown once-loved ones, over something... that should be trivial to the second person. Rustle: I'll search it up. Unfortunately, it's a bit late right now to go off adventuring, though. America seems to have been a frightful place, just forty years ago. I had a talk with someone elsewhere, and the racism he endured--segregation--just kind of blew my mind. I'd known it had happened, but I hadn't really been aware how much it really, stung. The world does seem to be progressing forward, though, away from this ridiculous discrimination. Though, you shouldn't give me too much credit. I might not have a problem with admitting I'm gay, but neither do I... proactive seek to project it? I'm not active about it, is what I mean, aha; if even /that/ makes sense. It might just be cause I'm a tad introverted though, heh. Nonetheless, cheers, bro! \o/ James: We're all human, at the end of it. We can all kick ass and take names, when required. You've my condolences, for what it's worth. You seem like a sturdy fellow, though, so... Your stories aren't ridiculously long; I'll try to read a few soon. I trust they'll stand out from the other few I've read, at least over the way you tackle it. Michael!: Aye, you three have given me some stuff to mull over. I'm sorry to hear about your, less than pleasant conditions, though I'm glad to hear you're not taking it out on yourself--that was one of the thing I've wondered over, if the aggression towards the self is just fictitious, or based in reality. It's assuring to know it's probably just plot. Though, I agree--I've barely read anything. Link me to your favorites, dammit.
