I think there is a slight divide sometimes here around the gay people that I've been in touch with. My three gay friends are on different levels of masculinity, but they all belong to the masculin stereotype. Two of them are more open to being around all of what the gay lifestyle brings and are open and accepting of all the different stereotypes as they've been out longer and are in a committed relationship. The other one tends to stay around other masculin gay men and feminin lesbians or straight people. He hasn't been out as long and isn't as comfortable with his sexuality as the others. The divide, I've witnessed has a lot of different reasons. Here there are two extremes, the effeminate and the ultra masculin and the two don't mix well in every day life for the most part the two groups tend to stay away and when they to interact it's at dance clubs or privately even that is strained. My friends get angry with me, but I tell them the only reason they don't want to be seen around a group of more effeminate men is because the stereotype makes them uncomfortable in a public setting. It could just be a preference and I'm making a larger deal out of it than what's actually there. It just seems to me that the effeminate men are way more willing to communicate with masculin gay men. I think stereotypes is the whole problem. Things will be more accepted if the overall general public was as well. Dating - I feel it's more of a personal preference. The problem I think is socially.

Happy Birthday!!! Have a good one, Krista

There are a few gay themed movies coming on IFC - Independent Film Channel tonight. Krista

How I met Jared: I had decided to run errands for my mother with snow on the road and i've not really learned how to drive on snow yet so I slid off the road onto the ditch probably about two miles from my house.. lol. He drove by me when I was walking back home, I didn't have any cell service to call. He asked me if the car in the ditch belonged to me and I actually thought it was a dumb question... BUT I was nice. Anyway, he pulled my car out of the ditch, left his phone number on my foggy window, and I called him. Krista

Hopefully....June 4th, 2008... lol. Krista

I found, "The dress" for the wedding. Krista

What happened will eventually come out and will be discussed by the two of you. A heart to heart will be the way to go about it, the only other way it will come to be discussed or an issue would be negatively. Krista

Lol... Krista

Congratulations CJ!!! Have fun! Krista

Happy Birthday!!! Have a good one!!! Krista

Well hmm, Army Wives by episode 3 is growing on me... lol. The Closer - I stayed up and watched the Marathon it's a good show. Starter Wife - Boring. Krista

Happy Birthday!!! Have a good one, Krista

Happy Father's Day Krista

I think I cry probably once a day.. lol. I cry easily, I'm an emotional wreck really. Like today I cried watching a movie. Not exactly out of sadness, but some people are ashamed, not of the feelings of being sad as everyone gets those, but as the act of crying and letting people see that part of them. It is a very vulnerable possition to be in so naturally people tend to be defensive when they're in the act of crying. But really, bring on the tears... holding in sadness and pushing that away leads to being depressed or melancholy. Depressed people don't have a way to express their worries, thoughts, saddness and are scared or ashamed to get that feeling out of their system. Repressed feelings always lead to larger problems later and people need to deal with what makes them sad or anything else. So no one should be afraid to be sad welcome it just like all the rest of the emotions that we embrace sadnessed should be one as well. Now with writing, I tend to stay away from a lasting sadness or depression with my characters or within my stories. Some may end tragic, but so far none of them deal with those emotions or circumstances. I'm not an emotional thrill-ride writer really or I don't think I am... I just shove my characters into realistic surroundings.. lol. Krista

THAT!... I say... that would be the BEST thing ever.. lol. As long as you can become, Brad Pitt's or someone's romantic prospect in romantic comedies. Krista

What in the world? Lol, well I don't find it offensive at all to see saggy pants on guys. It's only a fashion trend and it says nothing about these girls wearing low cut pants with their thongs pulled into view? I would say the law covers that as well, but the article doesn't go into detail as it only seemed to be targeted at the male sex and their fashion trends. To be fair any underwear should fall under that law. No V-necks that show the bras of women as well or halter tops. I feel sorry for the people in that place. I would hate to be held down by laws when it comes to fashion... As long as people are covered where it counts and they're happy with themselves then I don't see a problem with the way people dress. Krista

I like tatoos. I used to have five tatoos but I've now gotten them all removed. They just grew old and I got tired of seeing them everyday.. lol. You can't just change tattoos. But, I may get a small one someday. Krista

Oh.. lord yes!... haha. and.. he's on the market. Krista

Physical appearance is extremely important. It's the ultimate ice breaker. If you're attracted to that person, but never have met it you would only have their physical attributes to go on. If you find them attractive and you have self-confidence you will say hello therefore, starting the relationship. It may not develope into anything other than a few minutes of talking and then calling it a night, but still, there had to be something physically that narrowed the person down in the crowd. Personality comes second and that's universal to any sexual orientation or gender. There have been guys approach me while I was sitting down and he'd be completely into me and then I'd stand and I'd be a few inches taller than he is and he suddenly he has an excuse to stop talking to me... lol. So their preference wasn't a tall woman at all and they were intimidated by it. I don't like dating guys that are more than five inches shorter than I am. Jared is 6 ft 6 inches tall (6'6") and I only date people that can keep up with me athletically. Krista

No, a person should never have to give up something just to suit the person they are with at the time. It has to be the person's own accord. When people start shaping other people into what they want instead of remembering what attracted them in the first place problems start to arise. Alcohol is a more important thought though. I think every alcoholic has said, "I'll never let it get out of hand," and it has. It could be different, but right now, don't make it a problem if it isn't. It just seems like a warning sign that he's so strong willed with keeping alcohol in his life. As with any drug or alcohol it shouldn't be an every day crutch. If it is, then it's addiction. Anyway, right now it doesn't seem like it's effecting your relationship on a social level other than your fears of it getting out of hand. That's normal and you have a right to worry about his alcohol consumption and his opinions on that. Krista

I'm not cooking - I'm not even going to order the pizza I'll make Jared do it.. lol. I don't know what he wants in a Pizza. I'm not doing the dirty dishes - even if we have a dishwasher. I'm not cleaning out the pool - the leaves and bugs can stay another day. I'm not doing the laundry - and I've put that off all week so far. I'm not writing - I have no desire to write right now. I think that's about it. My "to-do" list has been significantly shortened so really I have no excuse when it comes to doing everything other than being lazy. BUT - I have a good tan. Krista

Well, I was talking to my grandmother the other day and I like listening to her growing up and she said that one day one of my aunts was crying and when she had went to see what was the matter she left the room returning to the living room area and saw, "a ghost" she said. It was a small child standing in the corner of the living room right beside her favorite rocking chair.. lol. It struck me as odd for her to bring it up, but she said she had a nightmare and decided to talk to me about it and other scary things. So that is her ghost story. She believes in ghosts and fussed at me when I told her that I didn't.. lol. Krista
