.....why do I have the hideous feeling that you're going to say it liquifies, or something equally awful?

And I was more thinking Spam-In-Can for a doorstop anyways :P

Your experience / Re: Words to describe attractiveness

I know what you mean, but i'm going to totally fail to decribe what i mean in any kind of sensical fashion, because I'm cool like that :P

There is definately a difference between a beautiful person and a cute person, just as there is a difference between someone who is sexy and someone who is pretty.

However, I have a headcold, and any real discussion of this in depth isn't going to happen to today :P

1. Back at Tafe. New class schedule means I get to start at 12 on Mondays. Hooray!

2. I'm watching retro South Park episodes. I <3 South Park

3. Little Birdy are working on a new album!

4. I will hopefully go to Adelaide to visit my mum next hols

5. My mum is getting involved in gay community stuff.... I'm really happy bout that, because even though she took it relatively well, stuff like this puts me at ease that she actually *is* okay. That, and her boss/friend is gay, so she's becoming a bit of a faghag. As much as someone working in the landscape industry can be a faghag :P

You got an interview? Awesome :D btw, i have three days off next week, and hopefully cash to burrrrnnnnnnn, so we can reschedule you staying over for then....

Apart from that off-topicness, I have worked 9 hour days for the last 8 days, and i have *someone* who is bugging me "Oh, come hang out, oh, when are we going to the movies? pay attention to meeeeee", and I politely said "Look dude, working non-stop, i really don't have any time to think about that stuff at the moment"

That means, I DON'T HAVE TIME. Seriously. I would like to catch up, but i'm crazy busy, i haven't seen ANYONE for the last week and a half.... apart from my housemate and my dog. Please. I will contact you. Just let me get around to it when i actually have time, kthnx?

Also, I wanted to come to Canberra, but iunno if it's happening until after July. Not coooooool :(

But! I got to spend *all day* in bed, and it was awesome. Also, my dog is the purest inventions of a wonderous creature. She is the most lovely thing ever.

Meeting people / Hallo!?
« on: 26 June, 2008, 12:37:24 am »
So I get holidays from Tafe soon. And Silver Hawk, and an equally gay friend and myself were planning a traipse into Canberra..... So who would possibly be about to say 'Hi' to us?

Also, qnet is very dead lately. What's with the hibernation people?

Your experience / Re: What Do You Love About Being GLBT
« on: 04 June, 2008, 01:59:22 pm »
I feel that the question is kind of like asking what one loves about being straight... or why I love being white. Sexual orientation is one thing, subculture is another. Theres not a lot for you when you're gay and have no connection with the subculture.

I think the gay culture is one of the things I love best about being gay. Having a connection to the culture, having our own slang, our own symbols, our own ways of recognising each other. It's knowing that I belong, and that I have a place, no matter how small, makes me happy to be gay.

Of course, if you don't *want* to be involved in the gay community, then it's an entriely different kettle of fish. But I like having our own TV shows, and our own haircuts, and our own festivals and literature. It doesn't matter if it's good or not, it matters that it's *ours* and it belongs to us.

3. I have uber-dyke hair. But given that I live in the wrong area to pull it off, I am slightly filled with trepidation....

There is a right area?

College area?  ;)

I live in the Southern Highlands. Imagine UBER conservative. And i mean, REALLY conservative. And  by the right place, I mean I have one of those Newtown dyke type looks.... so college area isn't too far off. But I've been out to tafe and stuff today and gotten positive feedback, so maybe the Christian Lynch Mobs aren't out to get people for having gay hair :P

That being said, I actually really like my haircut. Just got to push the boundaries a little further by adding blue to it or something.....

I'm pretty upset at the moment. I feel like certain people are seeing me as someone who's playing gay to get attention, and as these people are supposedly people who know me quite well, I feel pretty betrayed that they think I'm the sort of person who would make this up for attention. And it makes me doubt myself, you know? I've not been with a girl, I only just got out of a long term and supremely messed up relationship 6 months ago, and i was really confused about how i felt after that, and realising that I was gay just felt...... wonderful, I can't begin to describe how good that felt, like something cutting through fog, like everything was clear.

And to know that people are just assuming this is a phase or whatever.... really hurts. And that because i don't have a girlfriend, i'm not really gay yet, like I have to "prove" my homosexuality, even though I am only just being single again for the first time in 4 years, and gay or straight, I WANT TO BE MY OWN PERSON BEFORE I COMMIT TO A RELATIONSHIP.

Most of all, it hurts because my mum is now one of the people who, I thought originally was supportive, but now she's making comments like "Oh, so you and (nameofex/housemate) are getting along still? *Just* friends? Oh...."

My housemate is like my brother, it's one of the big reasons WHY we broke up, because romantically, I JUST DON'T FEEL ANYTHING FOR HIM. and to have my mother, who I admire more than anyone else, and who I thought understood, making comments, and acting like my coming out never happened is like a slap in the face.

Iunno anymore, it just makes me doubt myself, and it makes me wonder if I am faking it and i just don't realise it....

Your experience / Re: Faghags 'R' Us
« on: 26 May, 2008, 02:39:22 pm »
One of my friends is like, Queen of the Faghags (she has about 6 gay close friends :P), and she cops crap about it.... but it's more "Why aren't you telling your friends that their lifestyle is wrong" than harrasment against her specifically. When you're an ex-swimmer who is over 6 foot tall, with a very biting wit, people don't want to argue the point too much I guess :P

But then she's also a 20 year old uni student studying music, so she doesn't see the homophobes much :P So as Chris said, people generally mind their own business, and can't be bothered tormenting other people. I went to a small, VERY redneck country school (co-inkadinkally, where McLeods Daughters was filmed :P), and i NEVER would have come out.... the environment would have had me crucified if i had. I only came out a few months ago, because I finally felt "safe" enough to come to terms with it. No one ever talked about it, but honestly, I wish someone had openly supported gay people at my school..... would have made my life a lot easier!

As long as there are no threats to your physical safety, keep on doing what you're doing. <naughtyword> what other people think, because your open mind is only going to serve you well in the future, while they fail. Hopefully. Karmically.
