Based on the pronunciation of the Katakana, her name is pronounced with a "ch" sound as in "Chair". I always thought it was a "sh" sound like "Chandelier".
Okay, whoever decided to combine advanced calculus, linear algebra, circular graph theory, and programming, then made it a required course, needs to get a rusty cheesegrater crammed up his AS for my actual post...
Thanks for all the perspectives on dating. I'm definitely not looking for sex (well, purely just sex :P) and the parts with the MSN conversations are just to show my history. I took a step and after several more coffee dates, asked him if he was at all interested, and he told me that he wasn't on the market at this current point. Guess it's back to being patient and waiting for a good boat to fly by (go Airships?)

Magic Mage:
Are you unsure of what you like? Or unsure of if you like? There's a slight difference. And really, from what I gather (and my involvement with GLBTQBlahBlahBlahAcronymCLubs), the list isn't exclusive so even if you aren't, but are in a supporting position, you have a place here.
Also, if I'm not mistaken, I believe you asked why T's are here. This can be seen from several perspectives:
A) Socially unaccepted sexual orientation has forced them into being something more accepted, so their origins started out as a G/L
B) A lot of the time, GLBTQ organizations are for those who are uncertain of where they belong (much like your current state if I'm not wrong). Some people are born sexually ambiguous and face the same discrimination (sometimes less based on the premise they were born that way and can't help it, and sometimes worse based on the premise that they're so abnormal.)
C) Sex and Gender are different things. I know of someone who was born male, had the operation, and now identifies herself as a lesbian. Studies have shown that some people feel really strongly that they were born and grew as the wrong sex, but feel their gender role remains the same. Several incidents have occured (to the point where documentries aren't uncommon) so even after an operation, their orientation is still homosexual in nature.
The list goes on. T can stand for Transvestites, Transgendered, Transexual... I think the acronym just attempts an all-inclusive stance.
Also, I understand the awkwardness of using the word "gay" and "homosexual" et cetera. Many places have made those words taboo and it's rather hard to change the values taught while growing up. Just remember that unless people use it, the situation won't change and it will always be looked down upon. You also shouldn't use them if you're not ready though so that'll be up to you.

Lots more to say, but more studies need to be done... go mid-term-cram!
Yah... Alberta is fairly Conservative... but generally places with more educated people are supportive enough to give hope for the future

So like... has anyone had any dating experience?
I've been in a couple relationships, but usually it involves a lot of MSN, and then after a couple weeks (AKA 2 or 3 days) we decide to be a couple and kind of skip the whole "casual coffee date" phase... Anyone else in that boat?
Currently, I've been on a couple of coffee dates with a specific someone, but I don't know if it's going anywhere. We always have a good time, but like... we don't ever really... it doesn't go further than that, and I'm not quite sure what to do aside form "wait and see what happens."
I'm glad they added their definition of Bisexuality because bisexuality means different things to different people.
For instance:
- I can get off from either, and can see myself spending my life with either.
- I can get off from either, but can only see myself spending my life with only a guy (or only a girl).
- I can only get off from guys (or girls), but I can see myself spending my life with a girl (or guy).
It depends on if we're talking about arousal, or just being with someone.
Like, Personally, I can pretty much only get off on guys... but if the future has a girl who'll wear a strap-on, and is otherwise my ideal mate, then I'm not objected to it...
Past HGOtW Jensen Ackles. I herald him as the most beautiful creature I've ever laid eyes upon. It's not my fault that I'm a constant victim of green eyed, freckled, Ducky Lipped hotties. On a scale of one to ten, he's a "humina humina humina".
lol. I hope it was in jest. Being politically correct is almost never fun.
It does sound like a good way to annoy someone. No one would ever let me get away with that because they know how much I hate "politically correctness" of not stepping on anyone's shoes. I feel it abridges my right to be an a-hole *nods*
Definitely in jest. Well, mainly to annoy, but still I usually get away with it because people usually turn to me for essay help...
In the flesh, Biotch! You... rival city... citizen... ... ... thing... Our hockey team will.. uh... mop the floor with yours... er... the ice?
Ra ra Edmonton! ... ... ... Go... kick their butts because we're narcissistically aggressive?
You can probably tell how much I really (don't) care about the whole E-Town vs Cow-Town thing.
The rupture thang... my brother had that done two years ago... during my exams... I didn't do so well that year :S

Man, girls who are out to get you when they're literally brain deficient are alaways great! I had this one who I pissed off because I critiqued everything she saied with the focus on being politically correct.
Since then everytime I talk, she tries to catch me on something, but I always get away with some strange technicality
No such animal. Though I do concede that there exists people who can look awesome despite what they're wearing, but that's not the same as pulling the look off. Because, really, there are some looks that just can't ever work.
Okay, you have a point there... poor word choice on my part
But given Mullets vs. Pink... I pick Pink ANYDAY!
Only two people have ever been able to have it look natural:
MacGyver
and...
Captain Planet!

See, formal and black with pink put together is different from just plain pink. With formal and black, the pink is just an accent, not the main deal.
Blech. I'm a firm believer no man in history has ever looked good in pink. Just...no.
The ones I'm talking about are usually the ones who can pull off any look... and I mean ANY look.
White Leather with thick fur trim stiletto and clothes found in the boys section of Wal-Mart... he made it work!!! Wish I got pictures.
Of course his abs helped a lot... man, you can grate cheese on those!
Pink - Two years ago, when it was the "in" thing, I thought it was too forced, and still only looked good on Metro's.
Beanbag Chairs - Only if they have microfibre covers that match the rest of the room.
Hot men - Yes, yes, and yes!
Gift of the Woods 2 - Not quite my type... but I do see the virtues
But yeah... not many cards come to mind... Maybe Maraxus of Keld if you like the whole Muscle and body-pierced-cape thing...
I'm Matt. Currently a University Student from Canada. I work at the University's Student Union Building Arcade... I draft there regularly with co-workers and friends so if you're in the area come out and play
Main purpose of me coming here is to get more action... uh, in terms of Magic of course... ... ...
Hi everyone. I'm new here and am quite frankly just procrastinating my classes and assignments at this point. Haven't been able to read up on all of your posts and such so I can't contribute much yet. Not sure if I'll be able to contribute much seeing as how University life and work have killed my ability to remain conscious.
Thanks for all the perspectives on dating. I'm definitely not looking for sex (well, purely just sex :P) and the parts with the MSN conversations are just to show my history.

This is why I tend to dislike labels
I'd tap that like an EOT Static Orb
On the opposite end of the scale, does anyone watch Ugly Betty? Pure Genius!
Hahaha, well, I don't quite play High School Football when I'm in the final year of University
But I DO play Magic so YOU watch out in Provincials!
