FFXI LGBT Community, Who Are You?

Hmmm idk lol

I won't be joining anything that can be seen on my profile. I keep a low profile on fb - if word got out back in my hometown that I'm gay, my parents could very quickly find themselves unemployed. XD

Edit: also if this ends up like the time way back when everyone in the thread started skyping each other, this thread will slow down and possibly die. XD

^
the number of people i've come out to is still extremely small, and only 2 family members know

ok, so basically we made a secret (virtually private) group on Facebook, with basically this threads name "FFXI LGBT Community"

you can PM me if you want (and are unable to get) access otherwise. Any member can invite though.

That's HELP I AM TRAPPED IN 2006 PLEASE SEND A TIME MACHINE.

?

probably that part, since theres like laws against that, but it can be sometimes hard to prove

Ten years have passed on this day
Reminder Haiku

It's not a medical illness. :/

Also:
Luces and I hung out today! '-')b
Third FFXIAH person met!

"Reminder haiku" is more than five, since haiku at least is 3 mora, with reminder being 3+ (dunno how to count mora with english words, it's either 3 or 4)

I'll elaborate then.

In the case of my mother, she's a psychiatrist. She depends on the business of those who choose to come to her for help.

Upon finding out that her son is gay, people would force her into publicly stating her stance on LGBT issues. If she tells the truth and acknowledges her support for me, she loses business. If she tries to appease the hyperconservative side of things, she also loses business.

Lose-lose situation.

oftentimes in english haiku is pronounced as 2 syllables, reminder is 3.

yes but haiku are based off of 5-7-5 mora patterns, not syllables actually.

Haiku is two syllables in English, last time I checked. '-')b

And haiku are still based off of mora and not syllables..

5-7-5 mora in Japanese, I wrote a haiku as written in an English literature variation.

morae are in japanese, syllables are in english, we cant count english in morae and we cant properly count japanese in syllables.

Gig 'Em Pound-it!

you can count syllables in Japanese..anything ending in n and any elongated vowels and diphthongs can be measured as a syllable. And it's not a haiku if it doesnt follow mora :<

Well fine, my poem was in 5-7-5 syllable format that coincidentally is my variation of a 5-7-5 mora haiku but, actually isn't a haiku.

You happy?

its an english haiku. haiku's in english do not follow the morae pattern, they follow the syllable pattern.

and while you can count japanese in syllables, its more correct to count in morae.

ITT: intense haiku conversations are intense.

^ agreed

God that made me feel stupid. lol I understood far too few words.

Intense haiku conflict is all up in mah kool-aid! >:[

It is dieing out, atleast up here... The old people generally openly scoff at it (amoung many other things, having to take care of the fake baby thing for parenting in high school was fun when the baby was black and I'm white as a ghost XD pritty much everyone had jaw dropper stories involving old people on their turns taking it for the week). When compaired to people my age the only time anyone seems to have a problem with it is if theres someone going after them and doesn't seem to want to accept that they are straight.


/welcome, we don't bite so fear us not... well I don't bite often atleast, can't speak for anyone else.

Everyone had/having a good weekend?

Edit: hmmmm Shayka added me to the facebook group... does stuff from that only show up in the news feed for people in the group? I'm with Carrelo and Iro on the whole not being seen by other people thing XD Mainly asking because I havn't gone and accepted anything and it is showing me stuff from scrumpet and sergie in my newsfeed /facebook noob

Only people who are members of the group can see anything about the group. If someone isn't a member, they can't even see if you are like on your wall or what ever its called.

Only if you give me a reason to... If it's a bad reason I can turn into this though

オニリスさん、your icon makes me think you are Shayka! D:
She uses that icon too much. xD

Ohai, Bukhis!!!
