I would like to go to England sometime, myself. Or somewhere in Europe. (But, well, somewhere where I can speak English, 'cause... uh... I speak English. ;P) I'd actually like to go for a semester abroad, but I'm poor. =/
In other news, we've broken the 100-page barrier! (At least in my settings, heh.)
But yeah, its awesome getting random im's. Lark kicks tush.:tongue3:
Was it? Oh man that proves that I really suck at being observant.
Ive never been to Europe although I want to go at some point. Not for my semester abroad though. If I try do to education abroad, I want to be somewhere crazy, like Ankara, Cairo, or Capetown.

This would all be a lot easier if Cameron or Mikey were here to respond They have a way of putting things in a certain perspective. I guess I'm just a failure.
Hey, here now. Break it all down for me. I'll impart wisdom or something. I'll totally make something up. It'll be awesome.
Mikey would say, "Date who you want. They know what they are getting into when they go out with me. though I wouldn't call that Dating"
Pretty much. If there's no commitment specified, I declare it an open deal, upfront. People know that about me. You're not the only one I'm with, but I never lie and say you are. If you're not a lying coward about it, date fifty people if you can juggle 'em all. Just don't let people believe they mean more to you than they really do. That's my only rule. Well that and always use protection, but that one's more common sense, really.

But anyway, where is mikey? I'm missing his humor and whatnot.
Awwww, I miss my whatnot, too.
Quote from blue »
Well I am assuming that Mikey's shift at work ended and either he had to stay after to explain what happened to why he couldn't come in and didn't give more than 8 hours notice OR he came home and fell asleep which would also make sense. I'm hoping he's out partying right now.
Close, today I worked 6am to midnight. Yes, 18 hours. I hurt. There will be no partying tonight. That comes tomorrow. Hopefully, I will as well.
Oh and Mike (room service manager) totally didn't care about me calling off. He told me that I've saved his ass on enough occasions that I've built up plenty of goodwill. As long as I don't make a habit of calling off so close to my shift, we're cool. I love Mike. Great fella.
Wow, there has been tons of lurkers tonight but hardly a post.
Ugghhhh, I feel sick. I ate too much meat tonight at dinner after hardly eating any meat at all for two months. I feel like a want to vomit now. Sigh...

I know the truth about CP But I'm not telling. I had a good conversation while at work today on AIM with CP and it was very enlightening in more way than one. Y'all shall never know teh secrets!!!
Mikey!!! Welcome back. Sorry that your shift got extended 3 hours. It's good that they realize how good an employee you are.
Man coming out is a lot easier now than it was before. I seem to casually bring it up every once in a while. Like today we were talking about something and someone said the word bottom. They made a joke sexually saying "it's good to be on bottom" and I slipped it in right there. It's really cool that they'll be in a conversation, say something, I have the perfect opportunity to say something to let them know for sure, they pause for a second... then just keep going with what they were saying. You can see a dim lightbulb above their head suddenly illuminate to its fullest.
What IS The maximum allowed pages? We are all seeing different amounts because of the different amounts of posts per page. We Are on 1507 posts though so... Maybe when we hit 2000 posts? or 3000?
Sooo tired. But I don't have the same excuse Mikey does.
McDonalds is teh suck. I ate a Big Mac, just now, due to the 24 hour-goodness. It was good, to be sure, but this annoying German girl at the drive-thru window who said she knew me, though I only vaguely remember her, insisted upon holding a brief conversation.
"I'm bored!" she lamented in a thick accent.
She said that she knew me from my job, and that she thought I was cute. I thanked her, and revved the engine slightly to indicate impatience. She didn't get the hint. She mentioned my cuteness again, but this time asked if I was seeing anyone. At this point, I mentioned I am gay, to which she responded, in a very heavy accent,
"So?"
I tried my best to explain the concept of gay, but do to the language barrier, there were issues. I ended up resorting to hand gestures, indicating penises with my index fingers.
Okay, so that last part isn't true. But I did have to explain that I don't like girls "that way." She got offended, and turned away from the drive-thru window without giving me my fries. I tried calling through the small window, but it closed, quite of its own accord, leaving me fry-less and sad. So I went around to the front door, locked, and banged on it a bit. She wouldn't answer. I pulled back around to the window, where she was waiting for me, apparently bemused, and retrieved my fries, but only after I promised her that "when I liked girls," I would come see her. I was upset with her, obviously, but she assured me that she was just kidding, that she just wanted to have a little fun. She was upset that I didn't get the joke.
Like I said. McDonalds is teh suck.
Anyway....enough of that rant now. It was a good sandwich, and that's all that matters. I think.
I also found out today, due to my amazing connections, that I'll be in THREE, yes, THREE classes with Alex this year. He has yet to talk to me, but if we're in the same room three times a day, every day, we'll have to say SOMETHING to each other. I hope.
By the way...lurkers, feel free to post at your will. We don't bite. Often.
Well, i haven't seen a pic of lark... So I could be wrong... but I can also say that I've seen some women who I would swear where men if i hadn't known other wise.
*shrug*
I don't much care, I just mainly commented on this as it interested me that most people assumed Lark was a he. I don't CARE what sex Lark is, Lark is cool. Sex is sincerely unimportant to me in the long run, what matters is the person.

And in silence, they left, for they were ashamed to be caught out in their ignominious biases.
Huh.
Interesting.
*works on getting hit on more often*
Hm. Here's what you do. Lark said it earlier but I've always done it anyways. Smile at people. Introduce yourself. Be confident. Even Mikey uses his smile to attract people. And different kinds of smiles evoke different kinds of responses. Mikey's your teacher on that (but don't expect him to show you all his tricks)
Be able to talk to people and do things that make you seem interesting without being a turnoff. Be yourself most of all, but it's not a bad thing to express things that you want people to see about you. It's a lot easier if you just want them to see your good sense of humor or intelligence. Those are easily understood and can be very attractive as long as you are not arrogant. (confidence does not always arrogant make)
Again be yourself. If they hit on you then you know it's because of you and not who you were trying to be. It's like what Paranoid said up above. If a person changes to attract someone then the persona that attracted that person is what they'll have to stick with as long as they are together.
It's also not difficult to "accentuate the positive" to steal a cliché. If ya have a nice ass then wear jeans that make people look at your ass. (not tight ones that show crack O_o. Sometimes tighter is better but don't be trashy! unless you're trying to show off your trash... and if that's your best quality you might want to rethink your whole life ;))
Be yourself. I can't say that enough. People will be attracted to you the more you appear to know who you are. It works very well. That confidence in who you are is security to them.
Wait.. that's part of the key to being happy. In fact i'm not sure that advice is good for getting hit on as much as it is for preparing to hit on someone else.

I don't know. Be amicable.
Waiting to get hit on sucks, but there are ways to get it done more efficiently. But they're all pretty target-specific. Like, you'd do one thing to get hit on by one type of guy and a different thing to get hit on by one type of girl. If anyone wants to get into target-specfic tips, just pop the question.
But like Micah here (ever so aptly) said, confidence and smiling are key. It's just going to happen without them. In most cases, even if you aren't that confident, fake it. Well put-on 'confidence' is still more attractive than real insecurity. Though work on getting the real thing at some point. And tailor your smile to the vibe you're trying to give off. Shy, sweet guy? Tough, dangerous guy? Confident sex-god? You can use your smile to get your point across, and it's usually the thing that indicates your interest and implores them to hit on you.
Be interested in what the other person is doing/saying, but don't be wierd and overeager. "Oooo, you're chewing gum! I love chewing gum! It feels so nice between my teeth!!!!" I've seen many falter here, don't do it. It's humiliating for everyone involved.
Class dismissed. Come back next day when we'll be learning about the most sucessful ways of asking someone out.

Sounding desperate is a total turnoff, at least.
At worst, its sincerely creepy.
and there is a very fine border between sounding interested and sounding desperate. If you feel like you are coming off as desperate you need to cool down and take a breath cuz there's really no reason to project that (even if you totally are desperate)
Desperation has a stench to it and people can smell that. Confidence, if it were to smell like something, would be like....smelling fresh baked cookies, cake, and freshly made coffee all rolled into one. Desperation smells like...pit stains or sass.
I just love how desperate people think that by acting desperate, they'll get somewhere. "OMG! I'm totally lonely and desperate for teh sex. Gimme, gimme! I need!" I feel a bit disgusted that this actually works sometimes. The people who indulge the desperate suck.
Ah. So I was going to my aunt's house today. Decided the gas was too expensive. Her birthday is today so I called her to wish her happy birthday and explain why I wasn't coming. Turns out my grandmother's sister Velma died on Tuesday and Meemaw went to Arizona for the funeral with her Brother Billy who lives in Lubbock where Meemaw is now. Meem's coming back tomorrow. So I called Meemaw afterward on her cell and she said that Thursday she and my aunt and all were going to Louisiana because my Uncle's mom is dying too.
Huh. That. sucks.
Oh well I guess. I'm gonna be sad for everyone but I haven't known those people very well. I know and love my close family like my cousins uncle aunt and meem. So I'll try to support them emotionally.
~~~
That said, there are certainly a LOT of hotties at UTDallas this year. Last year there were a couple but this year there's been an influx of amazingly beautiful guys. It raised a point when I was talking to Lark. Lark said I should go hit on some of them and give them my number. I didn't feel right since I was at work. Do you think it's alright to hit on people on the job O-o?

I think you know my stance on this. If you feel confident about it, go for it. This doesn't apply for all jobs, but I think it's fine for yours.

And I'm sorry to hear about your family's family.
Well it's just that I don't feel confident about exploring my sexuality in front of co workers. I don't want to see them talking to their girlfriends or even hear them talking about it anymore than they want to hear me talk about guys or hit on guys in front of them. There was one guy that was too hot for me to avoid. I thought I saw him go into the bookstore so I told the manager that I was going to get something from next door and asked if he wanted anything. I went in but I didn't see the guy so I acutally had to buy something >.<
Meh. I think I need to start putting myself in locations where I have a higher chance of meeting gay people. The comic book store on Tuesdays and Fridays coupled with the Karaoke bar on Saturdays does not a fulfilling gay life make. (WHY do I keep phrasing things like this!?!? It's driving me crazy!)
And what's up with that Ligerjack guy? I mean at first I thought he could hold a decent conversation but now I think he likes to argue about everything. I used to be like that. Arguing is fun to an extent. But on the internet it just seems silly. It's more fun to mess with people in real life cuz at least you can SEE them writhe in agony until you let them off the hook

So you'd rather deny yourself opportunities to protect their poor, hetero minds .... ? I don't get it.

You got that phrasing from me. I use it often. Just watch. Higher quantity of gay people does not a higher quality of gay people make. Though the more you meet, the higher probability of meeting a quality one. You'll just have to suffer through a crapload of idiots. Have fun!

Uh, I told you when he first popped up. But you didn't listen. He's barely above troll-status, though I try not to spare him any thought. He's not so much a pip on my radar, and I'd like to keep it that way. He crosses my path, I'll set him straight, but I won't g out of my way to correct him. He's pissing off enough people that I know anything he says will be contested by someone.

Indeed to everything. quantity does not beget quality. In some cases more quantity makes less quality.
It's not that I didn't want to expose them to anything or expose myself it's just that I didn't think it was professional. And I've gotten in a lot of trouble for not being professional doing stuff I didn't know was wrong. So I have to question a lot of the things I do before I do them now while at work.
And for ligerjack. I'm not really worried. He made a stupid argument in a thread and I caught him up in his own explanation. Now I know he can't keep up with me so I'm ending the conversation. Besides, why get mad at someone that doesn't exist?

Ah, well I wouldn't exactly call it professional then. But your job is to deal with the public a lot of the time, and you're going to meet people. And I doubt there's a rule against asking people out that you've met at work. Just keep things subtle and low key and I'd say you're fine. There's nothing all that bad about it, really.

No. I can't afford to. Mostly they are students, but if they aren't gay then I could get in a lot of trouble if they are also not open minded. Since I work at a school some times anything a professor overhears that they don't like they will pounce on and I could lose my job. Fortunately I only have to work in that store for 2 more days and the rest of the time I can spend working at the corporate office where I don't see anyone.
And I remember what I was supposed to be doing on Thursday >.<. At UTDallas there was a showing of Men In Tights at campus theatre. Guaranteed to be gay guys there cuz well... who really goes to the campus theatre and who else would watch Men in Tights? I totally forgot about it. That would have been sooooome fun!

You can get in trouble for asking someone out? Maybe it's just my hippy-liberal life, but that sounds extreme. Would they really fire you because you asked someone out?
And if you aren't going to be seeing anyone after the next few days, why ask if it's okay to ask people out on the job?

I mentioned that I wouldn't be going there after tuesday mainly cuz I actually would like to hit on someone It's the perfect opportunity cuz I'll be alone both times so no manager or coworker to see me do it. Gotta print up some business cards that have my cell number on them cuz if I'm going to make up for lost time I have a LOT of people to hit on!

At worst, its sincerely creepy.
Proud member of gaymers.
and there is a very fine border between sounding interested and sounding desperate. If you feel like you are coming off as desperate you need to cool down and take a breath cuz there's really no reason to project that (even if you totally are desperate)
Desperation has a stench to it and people can smell that. Confidence, if it were to smell like something, would be like....smelling fresh baked cookies, cake, and freshly made coffee all rolled into one. Desperation smells like...pit stains or sass.

Huh. That. sucks.
Oh well I guess. I'm gonna be sad for everyone but I haven't known those people very well. I know and love my close family like my cousins uncle aunt and meem. So I'll try to support them emotionally.

That said, there are certainly a LOT of hotties at UTDallas this year. Last year there were a couple but this year there's been an influx of amazingly beautiful guys. It raised a point when I was talking to Lark. Lark said I should go hit on some of them and give them my number. I didn't feel right since I was at work. Do you think it's alright to hit on people on the job O-o?
I think you know my stance on this. If you feel confident about it, go for it. This doesn't apply for all jobs, but I think it's fine for yours.
And I'm sorry to hear about your family's family.

Well it's just that I don't feel confident about exploring my sexuality in front of co workers. I don't want to see them talking to their girlfriends or even hear them talking about it anymore than they want to hear me talk about guys or hit on guys in front of them. There was one guy that was too hot for me to avoid. I thought I saw him go into the bookstore so I told the manager that I was going to get something from next door and asked if he wanted anything. I went in but I didn't see the guy so I acutally had to buy something >.<
Meh. I think I need to start putting myself in locations where I have a higher chance of meeting gay people. The comic book store on Tuesdays and Fridays coupled with the Karaoke bar on Saturdays does not a fulfilling gay life make. (WHY do I keep phrasing things like this!?!? It's driving me crazy!)
And what's up with that Ligerjack guy? I mean at first I thought he could hold a decent conversation but now I think he likes to argue about everything. I used to be like that. Arguing is fun to an extent. But on the internet it just seems silly. It's more fun to mess with people in real life cuz at least you can SEE them writhe in agony until you let them off the hook
So you'd rather deny yourself opportunities to protect their poor, hetero minds .... ? I don't get it.
You got that phrasing from me. I use it often. Just watch. Higher quantity of gay people does not a higher quality of gay people make. Though the more you meet, the higher probability of meeting a quality one. You'll just have to suffer through a crapload of idiots. Have fun!
Uh, I told you when he first popped up. But you didn't listen. He's barely above troll-status, though I try not to spare him any thought. He's not so much a pip on my radar, and I'd like to keep it that way. He crosses my path, I'll set him straight, but I won't g out of my way to correct him. He's pissing off enough people that I know anything he says will be contested by someone.

Indeed to everything. quantity does not beget quality. In some cases more quantity makes less quality.
It's not that I didn't want to expose them to anything or expose myself it's just that I didn't think it was professional. And I've gotten in a lot of trouble for not being professional doing stuff I didn't know was wrong. So I have to question a lot of the things I do before I do them now while at work.
And for ligerjack. I'm not really worried. He made a stupid argument in a thread and I caught him up in his own explanation. Now I know he can't keep up with me so I'm ending the conversation. Besides, why get mad at someone that doesn't exist?
Ah, well I wouldn't exactly call it professional then. But your job is to deal with the public a lot of the time, and you're going to meet people. And I doubt there's a rule against asking people out that you've met at work. Just keep things subtle and low key and I'd say you're fine. There's nothing all that bad about it, really.

No. I can't afford to. Mostly they are students, but if they aren't gay then I could get in a lot of trouble if they are also not open minded. Since I work at a school some times anything a professor overhears that they don't like they will pounce on and I could lose my job. Fortunately I only have to work in that store for 2 more days and the rest of the time I can spend working at the corporate office where I don't see anyone.
And I remember what I was supposed to be doing on Thursday >.<. At UTDallas there was a showing of Men In Tights at campus theatre. Guaranteed to be gay guys there cuz well... who really goes to the campus theatre and who else would watch Men in Tights? I totally forgot about it. That would have been sooooome fun!
You can get in trouble for asking someone out? Maybe it's just my hippy-liberal life, but that sounds extreme. Would they really fire you because you asked someone out?
And if you aren't going to be seeing anyone after the next few days, why ask if it's okay to ask people out on the job?

I mentioned that I wouldn't be going there after tuesday mainly cuz I actually would like to hit on someone It's the perfect opportunity cuz I'll be alone both times so no manager or coworker to see me do it. Gotta print up some business cards that have my cell number on them cuz if I'm going to make up for lost time I have a LOT of people to hit on!
