Scathing, sarcastic commentary sounds like a perfectly satisfying method of lashing out at all of 'tardom. So far, I've been responding to warning complaints with rational explanations. We'll see how long lasts. (Although I've already gone as far as telling someone Custom Cards is not a forum for pissing matches, so I guess that's a start.)
Aye. And a fine start it was. However, I advise the addition of a vaguely insulting, feminine name to any rational explanation. Deeply rewarding. Check it:
"How about simply pointing out the shortcomings of his example without the attitude? This forum is not for pissing matches."
"How about simply pointing out the shortcomings of his example without the attitude? This forum is not for pissing matches, Princess."
You show your disdain for not only the poster's deviant behaviour, but also for the 'tard poster himself.
Did he do anything sexy with his telekinesis?
Telekinesis? No. But he did bite the girl on the shoulder in the middle of sex. I might have wimpered.
Who was the love scene with? (Please say Jensen Ackles...please say Jensen Ackles...)
Sadly no, JSquared sex is strictly forbidden since the resulting visuals would instantly melt the brains of any who gaze upon the union. I get sexy migraines just thinking about it.
The sex partner in question was Emmanuelle Vaugier, aka: the first Mrs. Lex Luthor on Smallville, the dumb skank with her arms in a box in Saw 2 and the nameless naked chick Josh Hartnett had to fake it with in 40 Days and 40 Nights. But honestly, I kinda tuned her out.

I'm gonna have to go and read through all your infraction posts for the sheer entertainment factor.
Sadly, my works of art are all in PMs, since I tend to save my burning wit for when a user PMs me to complain.
But to bring us all down for a second, life has hit the complex skids. And I feel I should air my **** out in public, cuz, why not really. So remember the friend who stayed with me this summer after escaping her abusive dickhole boyfriend? The one I subsequently had a fling with prior to considering (gasp) a relationship with and who then chose to be with my best friend instead? Alright, so cut to last weekend, where I was out celebrating my massive windfall at work and they were both there. We drank, we hung out, things were superb. At one point, he goes off somewhere so she and I decide to dance. We dance for a few songs and then we go off to find him, but he's nowhere to be found. She decides to just go home and wait for him and I go off on my own. Cut to later that night, she calls me in hysterics because he's screaming at her that she's been cheating on him with me. She asks if she can stay with me (to which I respond with an immediate "No way, chica!") and she hangs up. Despite numerous calls and emails on my part, they stay radio silent for a week.
I find out today that he told her that night that he cheated on her out of revenge and she had a breakdown and slit her wrists. She was in the hospital for a few days and now she staying with a friend six hours from here. I'm told that he's being really paranoid, thinking that vindictive Mike is poised to sweep in and steal her away from him for good. Apparently he's furious at what he thinks I'm up to. She, meanwhile, is completely broken, on stress leave from her work and seeing a psychologist (which I think has been a long time coming given her history of abuse and depression). And I'm in awe of the lunacy life throws my way sometimes.
even more people would prefer not to have them but settle for them, if you will, in the absence of something more meaningful
Now that I understand much more readily. One thing I do know is that sex is part of the human being's needs, generally. It's one thing to be monogamous, quite another to just be without it altogether.
And I think your comments (which were amazing as usual, especially the last paragraph) are insightful on their own but also point towards another important point: the need for balance. As you acknowledge, there's nothing intrinsically wrong with a hook-up and the selfish behavior associated with them is pretty much expected. But there's a big difference between doing that once in a while and doing that as the norm.
I think that's something crucial to remember when even looking at issues like these, as well. For instance, you indicated that you'd like a hook-up on occasion for some sexual experience. You've also made it clear in the past you wouldn't see much fun in having sex with someone unless you knew and liked that person.
I feel the same way. It's not that I'm prudishly reviled by the idea of anonymous sex; I'm just not really sure why people are even into it in the first place. I mean, intellectually, I can fathom it, in the same way I can see why people like extreme sports, or something. But on a personal level, it just doesn't strike me as being the variety of sexual experience that one would prefer over others.
I also thoroughly enjoyed your stories about your friend, particularly threatening to turn an Amish man to stone put a smile on my face.
That actually happened kind of by accident. We used to share this big front yard next to a rural road, and one afternoon, when we were like 15 or something, we were out there clad in these extravagant costumes complete with black capes and such (as we were wont to do on a boring day), pretending to be witches, or princesses, or some hybrid thereof. Then this Amish or Menonite man rides by in a buggy, and stops briefly to ask for directions. Before he really gets his question out, it became clear that he was just gawking. So my friend, dauntless as ever, improvised. "We are evil spirits!" He cried, and made this all-too-silly hand motion like that of a Disney villain.
I chimed in "We shall turn you to stone!"
The poor guy didn't waste any time. He recoiled, cracked his whip, and his horse was off. We lied there on the grass and laughed for a good ten minutes afterwards.
Quote from {mikeyG} »
Things more meaningful tend to leave a void when they're cruelly ripped away by fate. And the things with less meaning allow me to live free of the burden worrying about the hurt I'll need to endure when those things are taken from me.
Now, this, it appears, is a very edifying example of why people would enjoy anonymous or casual sex, one with which I can easily sympathize.

Heh heh heh. Nuggets. I'll add them to the list.

All that I yearn for, for richer or poorer, is to be the light that you see. All that I yearn for, for richer or poorer, is to be the peace that you feel. All that I yearn for, for richer or poorer, is to fill your heart on my own.
But the rainbow is an image of hope for many reasons, as it is a brilliant sight coming out of oftimes dismal weather.
You've also made it clear in the past you wouldn't see much fun in having sex with someone unless you knew and liked that person.
Just to clairfy something, I have had sex that was plenty of fun with essentially anonymous partners. But the chances of that happening tend to be much less with an anonymous person compared to someone I know and like. So it's not so much a matter of expectation but observation. One other thing worth mentioning is that, in my opinion, the best sex is not only physically but also emotionally - even spiritually - gratifying and it's very rare to get anything but a physical gratification from someone you don't love to some degree, much less don't even know.

The Golden Rule of forums: If you're going to be rude, be right. If you might be wrong, be polite.
Oh Holy Marion Berry! that was a lot to read to catch up.
Introductions- well... My name is Jesse, HI!
Im currently living in Okinawa Japan, im a Staff Sergeant in the United States Air Force AFSC(job) Intelligence Analyst. Hence the reason i live in Japan, though im American born. My father was in the Navy and we moved around all around the west coast but I call Seattle Wa home.
I joined the Airforce at 17 been in for almost 6 years so that puts me at a healthy 23 years of age. Of course the military thing keeps me from being open about my sexuality and Ive had to live with that fact for sometime now, thankfully i seperate from the USAF this september.
I previously lived in Turkey for two years and did a tour in Iraq and Afghanistan. Ive traveled around the world plenty of times and visited more places than I can count its one perk of the air force was being able to see the world. I love to travel and have taken advantage of living overseas every chance i get.
My brother-in-law is in the air force.
I don't think I would last in the military long. I'm not a flaming ***, but you can still tell. Moreover, there's personality and physical issues.
Blue and Red are my favorite colors in magic and fit my personality as an absent minded Izzet achemist. I instantly fell in love with blue and control when i first learned to play. The ability to undo what someone has done or just the idea to just out wit your opponent has always stuck with me. Im fairly a newby to magic, i learned to play in Turkey just two years ago from some buddys during Mir/Chk. Before that I had no exposure to the game and didnt even know it existed nor any of the geekiry labels attached to it.
Izzet, eh? We just need someone to be Gruul and we can be Guildpact.
I must admit, I have a soft spot in my heart for blue. Counterspell is probably one of my favorite cards because it is such a universal answer in the game (another I like is Vindicate). I wouldn't say Blue is one of my favorite colors, even though it is a major component of my personality. Orzhov, Dimir and Azorius were my favorite guilds, though.
Magic really is my only "geeky" passion and im affectionatly known as the "stealth geek" in my magic community. My other hobbies include Football, weight lifting, rock climbing, hiking, kayaking, anything outdoors really. Cant wait to get back to seattle to go camping snowboarding fishing etc.
military life really has curved my gay tendencys to the "straight acting" but Im fairly open about it (with those i trust). I was a long term relationship for the past year that ended about 5 months ago, mutual break up basically because the military moved him away, something that happens more often than not for gay military relationships.
Well that certainly does not sum up my life in a nifty little package with a bow on it but its a start. I could go on forever talking about my favorite subject (ME!) but work calls.
Wow, you're like my polar opposite. Outside activities? Blasphemy!
I really think DADT is appalling military policy. There've been several people who I've argued with about it and their stance (once I've dismantled the "it's immoral" assertion) seems to be pretty much that it makes the straight officers uncomfortable, which is a threat that keeps them from doing their job correctly - which I find funny, because it sure sounds to me like it's the guy who's uncomfortable that needs to be dismissed, what being all easily distracted and probably prone to other problems. Whatever happened to high standards in the military, anyway?
I found I kind of had to love cats - my boyfriend has four of them. I like three of them; the fourth is kind of, well, some string of profanities I will not utter here.
Well, Mother's gone now. Let's see how well this works out.
I like cats! Unfortunately, my mother is deathly afraid of them. And I'm pretty sure my roommate and my brother wouldn't be too keen on the idea (the landlady would be A-OK with it -- she has four cats as well). We'll see. Getting a cat (or two) is definitely a possibility for the future.
I have my own cat, who is a sister to one of his and a half-sister to two others, which I took with me to Portland.
She's really bonded to me and sweet, and really pretty (long-haired grey). She's particularly bonded to me over the others in the family, too, so she'll do things like force herself into my room, jump up on my shoulders, and play fetch with me (which is kind of amusing). Plus she's tiny, the runt of the litter, which reminds me of the cat of my childhood (in the good way, not the "OMG-that-cat-was-mauled-to-death-by-a-pitt bull :(" way).
Woah, didn't see you there Jesse. Soz, and welcome.
I hate DADT. It's a stupid rule meant to protect those who must constantly be reminded of their masculinity. Nonetheless, as I believe Mikey said a while back, "if you can't handle someone look at your arse go home and suck on your mother's breasts for half an hour".
Yeah DADT really made coming out a problem. I joined at 17 as I said and really came to terms with being gay just a few years ago. Now that im at a point in my life where i want to come out, the military just makes that a dream. We have our own underground of gay military guys and meet up at our one gay bar thats hidden in the back, back, back alleys of the city. It just makes being gay feel so criminal. Were just one big gay mafia trying not to get caught.
During my NCO school we had a non-reprecussions debate. The fist topic was "should gays be allowed to serve openly in the military?". Those opposed stood on one side of the room and those that agreed stood on the other. The one rule was that you cannot take a neutral stance. Of course everyone in the class stayed to the "oppose side", except for me. The instructor asked the overwhelming "opposed side" why they felt the way they did. The most machizimo of the group stood up and gave some BS speech that 1) it would make people feel uncomfterble to work with them, 2) they're(our) beliefs and way of life was immoral and 3) the only way it would work would to give the gays their own building facilities and squadron to work in seperately. When the instructor ask me why I thought it would be OK I simple said "werent those the exact same excuses to keep blacks, women, and non-christians out of the armed forces." the second i said that the entire class moved to my side except for of course the handful of masculinity protecting guys of which i thought a few pinged my gaydar and was trying to keep up the straight act (sad isnt it) In that moment i had some glimmer of hope that people will eventually get it.
DADT wasn't what we wanted, to serve freely in the military, but it was a stepping stone. Stories ive heard in the past without DADT, alot of members would be investigated on the sure will of there commander to "hunt" down gays in their unit. Witch hunts were common, that same practice is still around today but without the legal backing it once had and definately without the same frequency. Now if your suspected to be gay (again being a criminal) they cant act on it unless theres actual proof. Im not trying to defend DADT with this little rant but I cant say it didnt serve a purpose, it did, now its time for us (USA) to move on and progress as a society.

As for one night stands... the idea doesn't appeal to me at all. I dunno. Maybe I'll change (although there is no reason to). I've changed before... I was practically a "sex is unimportant to me" person, but let's say I'm... different. Freakin' hormones. Ah well...
Yeah, I'm sort of similar. For the majority of my life, I've been so not into sex that I've practically been against it. But my feelings about it have become much more relaxed recently.

Oh, no, I see what you mean. I've had times when I figured a sexual episode with no committment wouldn't be a terrible thing; just not that often. I guess it's probably because the physical gratification isn't nearly as big a deal to me. If I were going to have sex with someone, it'd almost definitely be for emotional gratification, something along those lines. Especially since emotional gratification doesn't happen that often, but physical gratification isn't hard to come by.
Though I think letting someone else be a cause of emotional gratification for you puts you in a more vulnerable position, and thus casual sex ends up feeling safer and less likely to betray you.
This is seriously one of the funniest stories I've ever heard. I'm tempted to sig it.
Heh heh heh. By all means, if it pleases you.
Mikey's comment reminds me of a lyric from one of my favorite Fiona Apple songs: "I want your warmth but it will only make me colder when it's over."
Mikey better be careful, lest I start thinking him pathos-inspiring.
I still miss my ex, but in some way I'm even grateful for that. Maybe I'm just morbid.

I agree, and I think, like Grass Ninja says, that it criminalizes being homosexual. Which, honestly, is probably not at all against the intent of the practice. So if someone could be attracted to you, they must be, right? Is that how it works?
@Grass Ninja: Good work, being so convincing.
@Cats: I really like cats, but we're not allowed to have pets in our apartment building. Oh, well. My mother has, like, a dozen pets at any given moment, usually complete with a number of cats and dogs and some bunnies or something. Whenever a cat runs away or a dog gets a new owner, she has less pets for a while, acts like she doesn't want anymore, then inevitably buys or finds two more.

I have no discernible opinion on whether I approve of sex at this stage. I am sure I will form one eventually.
The guy I like (and who I suspect may be at least slightly interested in me) is in Italy on a school trip all spring break. I miss him. Before friday (when he left), it had been like two weeks since the last day I didn't chat with him on MSN...
Though I think letting someone else be a cause of emotional gratification for you puts you in a more vulnerable position, and thus casual sex ends up feeling safer and less likely to betray you.
Definately. Though contrary to what some may think, avoiding vulnerability isn't my primary reasoning behind my knack for casual sex. It's a consideration, but not the main thing driving me. At least not anymore. I may not seek out such vulerable situations easily or often, but I'm not completely against the idea.
The appeal of casual sex for me comes from the fact that it doesn't tie me down. Above all else, I value my freedom and as a result, I'm not one to put down roots. I don't own a bed, or any furniture really, my lease on my apartment is month-to-month, etc. Choosing casual flings over a more stable relationship is just another way I don't put down roots.
Mikey better be careful, lest I start thinking him pathos-inspiring.
I'm quite Maudlin, if you must know. Wrapped in black velvet and tragedy.
I still miss my ex, but in some way I'm even grateful for that. Maybe I'm just morbid.
No, I think that makes sense. At least you know you had something worth missing.
When the instructor ask me why I thought it would be OK I simple said "werent those the exact same excuses to keep blacks, women, and non-christians out of the armed forces."
Mikey was here last week, and he left yesterday. It was a good week, despite me having class. Though, I'm still slightly irritated with him over the Madison thing, but I'll live.
This is the 6th time we've gone through the visit-then-leave routine. Last time was VERY hard for me, because I was in Ohio [now referred to as home]. That meant I wasn't just leaving Mikey, I was leaving the people I consider my family. This time when Mikey left...I don't know what it was, but I cried just as much as the first time he left last year, when he moved.
I didn't eat at all yesterday, I just cried and slept, pretty much.
It's quiet around here, now. No Mikey *****ing about his online poker, or screaming at the TV when Ohio State is on. No random wrestling or tickling, no more snuggling. No more falling asleep and waking up in his arms.
It's only 11 weeks. Then hopefully I get to bus out there for a week or two and visit while he finishes up his school year, and then we'll drive back here together for the summer.
11 weeks...
Anyway, I just skimmed the previous pages, so I'll make comments short:
I'm an atheist...I don't think there's a god, but quite frankly, I don't care. Whatever. When I'm dead, I'll be put in a box in the ground, and left to rot.
Sex: Meh...I'm still a virgin. Mikey would like to "give it a try", but I figure when it happens, it happens. We decided that when I'm ready for it, it'll happen.
Food: I love rice. Rice, cereal, chocolate, kool-aid, pancakes, my mom's fruit salad, and her spanish rice. And chicken nuggets and macaroni-and-cheese. I could keep going.
Cats: I'm terribly allergic to them, Mikey is less so. We'll never have a cat.
Football: I don't really understand the rules and strategy and whatever, but I like to watch it anyway. 'specially college football. Currently, though, I'm looking forward to baseball season.
and now i'm off to find some other way to keep busy. Basketball is on, perhaps I'll watch that. It's beautiful out today, but I don't have anyone here to go out and enjoy it with. :/ I wish it was summer.

Basketball is more on the boring side, but I watch the OSU games, just so I can follow mikey when he babbles about them. Hockey is really only good for the fights. Bwhaha!
Golf is incredibly boring. Tennis isn't much better.
I love to play baseball and soccer...I just can't very often. Stupid asthma, and stupid dysfunctional knees.

I love football (american). Its the only sport i really follow, most others i find boring simply because id rather be playing. Plus you can only watch a ball go back and forth so many times before it gets old (well.. unless you a cat.)

Although I can't exactly trade stories, I remember watching the news about how a specific person in the army, who had had quite a lot of training in order to speak and communicate with the Iraqis (I forget which language), and subsequently act as an interpreter. When they found out he was gay, they immediately dropped him, therefore wasting all the time and resources they poured into him. It's just plain stupid.
Anyway, judging by your flag, you're... Japanese/in Japan? I'm going there on Wednesday.
Yes the guy your talking about was an Arabic linguist for the army that got kicked out for being gay and its not that uncommon. The whole thing evolves around the potential to be black mailed while holding a high security clearence. its just another point to why DADT needs to be changed. you cant black mail a gay linguist if hes out of the closet. My ex is a chinese linguist and through him i found out that alot of military linguist are gay, we have a theory that most gays love all things multi-cultural, bit of an inside joke since we met in the ethnic food isle at the commisary.
And i live in okinawa, what part of japan are you going to. Its beautiful here perfect sailing and snorkeling weather
The past couple of days have been really busy for me. I got accepted into NYU, went to Regionals, and qualified for All State.
Regionals was surprisingly fun. They put us up at a hotel for the extended weekend (Thurs-Sat), which consequently meant I had to room with 3 people that I had never met before. Since there was no way in hell I was not sleeping on a bed, I had to sleep with some stranger, which was awkward. Somebody in the room ended up clogging our toilet, which really sucked a lot. The upside to all of this being that I was standmates with somebody that that I had met at districts, so the 12 hours of rehearsal each day were much nicer.
I think DADT is a terrible policy, as what Mamelon said about it criminalizing homosexuality is basically correct. Does the Canadian military use it too? I should know, but I don't.
Nope, the Don't Ask, Don't Tell policy is a strictly American thing. Canada is sane, as is most every other country that doesn't have religious law.

Hey all... I'm retired, not dead. Check out what I'm doing these days (and beg me to come back if you want):
Many Americans are deathly afraid of buttsecks. At least two men engaging in buttsecks. I dunno why but it doesn't bother me. I've seen a gay porno or two and have to say that I prefer having two men of equal size(body size, not that you perverts!), not a big, muscular guy and a skinny guy. I want 2 muscular guys or 2 skinny guys. I swear I'd trade both of my boobs to see James Marsters and Julian McMahon go at it. I dunno why but I just find the two of them to be the smex and them going at it would be so hot. As long as I could join in on the action.

Well, it sounds like you wouldn't like my boyfriend and I going at it, then.
We're about as different as they come. I kind of like the contrast, but I'm also attracted to other slender guys from time to time.
Lollers, the RIAA is coming after UW Parkside kids for illegal downloading!
I find it amusing that they'll only be able to catch the dumbasses who download from their dorm rooms. The computers in the computer labs don't require us to log in or anything, so using limewire there is less "dangerous."
I am amused.
I went wandering on the trails in the woods across the street after class, since it's 80 degrees outside....When Mikey and I went last week, I started collecting rocks from the riverside to put through my tumbler this summer. I found more today! And I found one with a fossil in it. I might go wash it off and take a picture later. If anyone cares.
And I saw ducks. And now that it's spring, i really have to watch where I walk, 'cause the river backs up to the golf course...always the slim chance of getting whacked in the head with a ball.
and now i'm sipping on monster, and listening to a cd mikey made for me.

Then again, I'm a teenager, so if someone my age admits they're okay with it then they are suddenly less "macho"... wtf? Why does it have to be this way?
Owell. Just have to wait...
It also doesnt help when their just looking for approval among the rest of the crowd. At that age thats all you looking for, approval from you peers. In the military there's this projection of the super masculine by men and gays dont fit into the persona. I alway found that to be funny since most of the gay men i know and hang out with are all in shape have great bodies and can kick as$ if need be. The idea that you cant be masculine and be gay is a stereotype that really makes straight guys feel uneasy about the whole idea. Alot guys just dont understand why you would want to submit to another man

"How about simply pointing out the shortcomings of his example without the attitude? This forum is not for pissing matches, Princess."
You show your disdain for not only the poster's deviant behaviour, but also for the 'tard poster himself.
Telekinesis? No. But he did bite the girl on the shoulder in the middle of sex. I might have wimpered.
Sadly no, JSquared sex is strictly forbidden since the resulting visuals would instantly melt the brains of any who gaze upon the union. I get sexy migraines just thinking about it.
The sex partner in question was Emmanuelle Vaugier, aka: the first Mrs. Lex Luthor on Smallville, the dumb skank with her arms in a box in Saw 2 and the nameless naked chick Josh Hartnett had to fake it with in 40 Days and 40 Nights. But honestly, I kinda tuned her out.
Maybe not faster, but at least more frequently.

Sadly, my works of art are all in PMs, since I tend to save my burning wit for when a user PMs me to complain.
But to bring us all down for a second, life has hit the complex skids. And I feel I should air my **** out in public, cuz, why not really. So remember the friend who stayed with me this summer after escaping her abusive dickhole boyfriend? The one I subsequently had a fling with prior to considering (gasp) a relationship with and who then chose to be with my best friend instead? Alright, so cut to last weekend, where I was out celebrating my massive windfall at work and they were both there. We drank, we hung out, things were superb. At one point, he goes off somewhere so she and I decide to dance. We dance for a few songs and then we go off to find him, but he's nowhere to be found. She decides to just go home and wait for him and I go off on my own. Cut to later that night, she calls me in hysterics because he's screaming at her that she's been cheating on him with me. She asks if she can stay with me (to which I respond with an immediate "No way, chica!") and she hangs up. Despite numerous calls and emails on my part, they stay radio silent for a week.
I find out today that he told her that night that he cheated on her out of revenge and she had a breakdown and slit her wrists. She was in the hospital for a few days and now she staying with a friend six hours from here. I'm told that he's being really paranoid, thinking that vindictive Mike is poised to sweep in and steal her away from him for good. Apparently he's furious at what he thinks I'm up to. She, meanwhile, is completely broken, on stress leave from her work and seeing a psychologist (which I think has been a long time coming given her history of abuse and depression). And I'm in awe of the lunacy life throws my way sometimes.

I think that's something crucial to remember when even looking at issues like these, as well. For instance, you indicated that you'd like a hook-up on occasion for some sexual experience. You've also made it clear in the past you wouldn't see much fun in having sex with someone unless you knew and liked that person.
I feel the same way. It's not that I'm prudishly reviled by the idea of anonymous sex; I'm just not really sure why people are even into it in the first place. I mean, intellectually, I can fathom it, in the same way I can see why people like extreme sports, or something. But on a personal level, it just doesn't strike me as being the variety of sexual experience that one would prefer over others.
That actually happened kind of by accident. We used to share this big front yard next to a rural road, and one afternoon, when we were like 15 or something, we were out there clad in these extravagant costumes complete with black capes and such (as we were wont to do on a boring day), pretending to be witches, or princesses, or some hybrid thereof. Then this Amish or Menonite man rides by in a buggy, and stops briefly to ask for directions. Before he really gets his question out, it became clear that he was just gawking. So my friend, dauntless as ever, improvised. "We are evil spirits!" He cried, and made this all-too-silly hand motion like that of a Disney villain.
I chimed in "We shall turn you to stone!"
The poor guy didn't waste any time. He recoiled, cracked his whip, and his horse was off. We lied there on the grass and laughed for a good ten minutes afterwards.
Now, this, it appears, is a very edifying example of why people would enjoy anonymous or casual sex, one with which I can easily sympathize.
Heh heh heh. Nuggets. I'll add them to the list.
Awww.
OMG. I've done that before! And Photon does it almost constantly. Names like Sue, Blanche, Loulabelle, Marcy, and Pepper are ones that strike me as particularly funny. Every now and then in a Debate post, I get this itch to throw one of them in there.

Just to clairfy something, I have had sex that was plenty of fun with essentially anonymous partners. But the chances of that happening tend to be much less with an anonymous person compared to someone I know and like. So it's not so much a matter of expectation but observation. One other thing worth mentioning is that, in my opinion, the best sex is not only physically but also emotionally - even spiritually - gratifying and it's very rare to get anything but a physical gratification from someone you don't love to some degree, much less don't even know.
This is seriously one of the funniest stories I've ever heard. I'm tempted to sig it.
Mikey's comment reminds me of a lyric from one of my favorite Fiona Apple songs: "I want your warmth but it will only make me colder when it's over."
I'm really going to have to try that. And I just realized how especially funny it is in combination with extremely masculine comments, such as references to pissing matches.

My brother-in-law is in the air force.
I don't think I would last in the military long. I'm not a flaming ***, but you can still tell. Moreover, there's personality and physical issues.
Izzet, eh? We just need someone to be Gruul and we can be Guildpact.
I must admit, I have a soft spot in my heart for blue. Counterspell is probably one of my favorite cards because it is such a universal answer in the game (another I like is Vindicate). I wouldn't say Blue is one of my favorite colors, even though it is a major component of my personality. Orzhov, Dimir and Azorius were my favorite guilds, though.
Wow, you're like my polar opposite. Outside activities? Blasphemy!
I really think DADT is appalling military policy. There've been several people who I've argued with about it and their stance (once I've dismantled the "it's immoral" assertion) seems to be pretty much that it makes the straight officers uncomfortable, which is a threat that keeps them from doing their job correctly - which I find funny, because it sure sounds to me like it's the guy who's uncomfortable that needs to be dismissed, what being all easily distracted and probably prone to other problems. Whatever happened to high standards in the military, anyway?
It's Metatron, from Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne.
I found I kind of had to love cats - my boyfriend has four of them. I like three of them; the fourth is kind of, well, some string of profanities I will not utter here.
I have my own cat, who is a sister to one of his and a half-sister to two others, which I took with me to Portland.
She's really bonded to me and sweet, and really pretty (long-haired grey). She's particularly bonded to me over the others in the family, too, so she'll do things like force herself into my room, jump up on my shoulders, and play fetch with me (which is kind of amusing). Plus she's tiny, the runt of the litter, which reminds me of the cat of my childhood (in the good way, not the "OMG-that-cat-was-mauled-to-death-by-a-pitt bull :(" way).
Saw '300'. Meh; didn't care for it.
I don't recommend anyone see it unless you love half-mindless action flicks with tiny bits and pieces of material resembling depth (if remotely that).

Yeah DADT really made coming out a problem. I joined at 17 as I said and really came to terms with being gay just a few years ago. Now that im at a point in my life where i want to come out, the military just makes that a dream. We have our own underground of gay military guys and meet up at our one gay bar thats hidden in the back, back, back alleys of the city. It just makes being gay feel so criminal. Were just one big gay mafia trying not to get caught.
During my NCO school we had a non-reprecussions debate. The fist topic was "should gays be allowed to serve openly in the military?". Those opposed stood on one side of the room and those that agreed stood on the other. The one rule was that you cannot take a neutral stance. Of course everyone in the class stayed to the "oppose side", except for me. The instructor asked the overwhelming "opposed side" why they felt the way they did. The most machizimo of the group stood up and gave some BS speech that 1) it would make people feel uncomfterble to work with them, 2) they're(our) beliefs and way of life was immoral and 3) the only way it would work would to give the gays their own building facilities and squadron to work in seperately. When the instructor ask me why I thought it would be OK I simple said "werent those the exact same excuses to keep blacks, women, and non-christians out of the armed forces." the second i said that the entire class moved to my side except for of course the handful of masculinity protecting guys of which i thought a few pinged my gaydar and was trying to keep up the straight act (sad isnt it) In that moment i had some glimmer of hope that people will eventually get it.
DADT wasn't what we wanted, to serve freely in the military, but it was a stepping stone. Stories ive heard in the past without DADT, alot of members would be investigated on the sure will of there commander to "hunt" down gays in their unit. Witch hunts were common, that same practice is still around today but without the legal backing it once had and definately without the same frequency. Now if your suspected to be gay (again being a criminal) they cant act on it unless theres actual proof. Im not trying to defend DADT with this little rant but I cant say it didnt serve a purpose, it did, now its time for us (USA) to move on and progress as a society.

Oh, no, I see what you mean. I've had times when I figured a sexual episode with no committment wouldn't be a terrible thing; just not that often. I guess it's probably because the physical gratification isn't nearly as big a deal to me. If I were going to have sex with someone, it'd almost definitely be for emotional gratification, something along those lines. Especially since emotional gratification doesn't happen that often, but physical gratification isn't hard to come by.
Though I think letting someone else be a cause of emotional gratification for you puts you in a more vulnerable position, and thus casual sex ends up feeling safer and less likely to betray you.
Heh heh heh. By all means, if it pleases you.
Mikey better be careful, lest I start thinking him pathos-inspiring.
I still miss my ex, but in some way I'm even grateful for that. Maybe I'm just morbid.
I knew it!
I agree, and I think, like Grass Ninja says, that it criminalizes being homosexual. Which, honestly, is probably not at all against the intent of the practice. So if someone could be attracted to you, they must be, right? Is that how it works?
@Grass Ninja: Good work, being so convincing.
@Cats: I really like cats, but we're not allowed to have pets in our apartment building. Oh, well. My mother has, like, a dozen pets at any given moment, usually complete with a number of cats and dogs and some bunnies or something. Whenever a cat runs away or a dog gets a new owner, she has less pets for a while, acts like she doesn't want anymore, then inevitably buys or finds two more.

I think DADT is a terrible policy, as what Mamelon said about it criminalizing homosexuality is basically correct. Does the Canadian military use it too? I should know, but I don't.
I have no discernible opinion on whether I approve of sex at this stage. I am sure I will form one eventually.
The guy I like (and who I suspect may be at least slightly interested in me) is in Italy on a school trip all spring break. I miss him. Before friday (when he left), it had been like two weeks since the last day I didn't chat with him on MSN...
Definately. Though contrary to what some may think, avoiding vulnerability isn't my primary reasoning behind my knack for casual sex. It's a consideration, but not the main thing driving me. At least not anymore. I may not seek out such vulerable situations easily or often, but I'm not completely against the idea.
The appeal of casual sex for me comes from the fact that it doesn't tie me down. Above all else, I value my freedom and as a result, I'm not one to put down roots. I don't own a bed, or any furniture really, my lease on my apartment is month-to-month, etc. Choosing casual flings over a more stable relationship is just another way I don't put down roots.
I'm quite Maudlin, if you must know. Wrapped in black velvet and tragedy.
No, I think that makes sense. At least you know you had something worth missing.

Mikey was here last week, and he left yesterday. It was a good week, despite me having class. Though, I'm still slightly irritated with him over the Madison thing, but I'll live.
This is the 6th time we've gone through the visit-then-leave routine. Last time was VERY hard for me, because I was in Ohio [now referred to as home]. That meant I wasn't just leaving Mikey, I was leaving the people I consider my family. This time when Mikey left...I don't know what it was, but I cried just as much as the first time he left last year, when he moved.
I didn't eat at all yesterday, I just cried and slept, pretty much.
It's quiet around here, now. No Mikey *****ing about his online poker, or screaming at the TV when Ohio State is on. No random wrestling or tickling, no more snuggling. No more falling asleep and waking up in his arms.
It's only 11 weeks. Then hopefully I get to bus out there for a week or two and visit while he finishes up his school year, and then we'll drive back here together for the summer.
11 weeks...
Anyway, I just skimmed the previous pages, so I'll make comments short:
I'm an atheist...I don't think there's a god, but quite frankly, I don't care. Whatever. When I'm dead, I'll be put in a box in the ground, and left to rot.
Sex: Meh...I'm still a virgin. Mikey would like to "give it a try", but I figure when it happens, it happens. We decided that when I'm ready for it, it'll happen.
Food: I love rice. Rice, cereal, chocolate, kool-aid, pancakes, my mom's fruit salad, and her spanish rice. And chicken nuggets and macaroni-and-cheese. I could keep going.
Cats: I'm terribly allergic to them, Mikey is less so. We'll never have a cat.
Football: I don't really understand the rules and strategy and whatever, but I like to watch it anyway. 'specially college football. Currently, though, I'm looking forward to baseball season.
and now i'm off to find some other way to keep busy. Basketball is on, perhaps I'll watch that. It's beautiful out today, but I don't have anyone here to go out and enjoy it with. :/ I wish it was summer.
I know it seems that I don't care,

Basketball is more on the boring side, but I watch the OSU games, just so I can follow mikey when he babbles about them. Hockey is really only good for the fights. Bwhaha!
Golf is incredibly boring. Tennis isn't much better.
I love to play baseball and soccer...I just can't very often. Stupid asthma, and stupid dysfunctional knees.

I love football (american). Its the only sport i really follow, most others i find boring simply because id rather be playing. Plus you can only watch a ball go back and forth so many times before it gets old (well.. unless you a cat.)
Yes the guy your talking about was an Arabic linguist for the army that got kicked out for being gay and its not that uncommon. The whole thing evolves around the potential to be black mailed while holding a high security clearence. its just another point to why DADT needs to be changed. you cant black mail a gay linguist if hes out of the closet. My ex is a chinese linguist and through him i found out that alot of military linguist are gay, we have a theory that most gays love all things multi-cultural, bit of an inside joke since we met in the ethnic food isle at the commisary.
And i live in okinawa, what part of japan are you going to. Its beautiful here perfect sailing and snorkeling weather

Regionals was surprisingly fun. They put us up at a hotel for the extended weekend (Thurs-Sat), which consequently meant I had to room with 3 people that I had never met before. Since there was no way in hell I was not sleeping on a bed, I had to sleep with some stranger, which was awkward. Somebody in the room ended up clogging our toilet, which really sucked a lot. The upside to all of this being that I was standmates with somebody that that I had met at districts, so the 12 hours of rehearsal each day were much nicer.
I still haven't heard back from the U of Winnipeg, where I applied...hopefully I will soon.
Nope, the Don't Ask, Don't Tell policy is a strictly American thing. Canada is sane, as is most every other country that doesn't have religious law.

Well, it sounds like you wouldn't like my boyfriend and I going at it, then.
We're about as different as they come. I kind of like the contrast, but I'm also attracted to other slender guys from time to time.
Plus, we wouldn't let you join in.
I find it amusing that they'll only be able to catch the dumbasses who download from their dorm rooms. The computers in the computer labs don't require us to log in or anything, so using limewire there is less "dangerous."
I am amused.
I went wandering on the trails in the woods across the street after class, since it's 80 degrees outside....When Mikey and I went last week, I started collecting rocks from the riverside to put through my tumbler this summer. I found more today! And I found one with a fossil in it. I might go wash it off and take a picture later. If anyone cares.
And I saw ducks. And now that it's spring, i really have to watch where I walk, 'cause the river backs up to the golf course...always the slim chance of getting whacked in the head with a ball.
and now i'm sipping on monster, and listening to a cd mikey made for me.

It also doesnt help when their just looking for approval among the rest of the crowd. At that age thats all you looking for, approval from you peers. In the military there's this projection of the super masculine by men and gays dont fit into the persona. I alway found that to be funny since most of the gay men i know and hang out with are all in shape have great bodies and can kick as$ if need be. The idea that you cant be masculine and be gay is a stereotype that really makes straight guys feel uneasy about the whole idea. Alot guys just dont understand why you would want to submit to another man
