I've been posting here off and on for years. I love CStat since that's where my partner is from. They don't make 'em like that in Houston (my hometown).

You never know, the world can be smaller than you think... Never met anyone living anywhere close to me playing XI but in XIV there were like 6 people within an hour XD. Only met 2 of them so far though.

Actually, i met people from the game back in 2004, one of them is still my best friend today. Small world like you say, he lived at like 2 street from my place!(about 5min walk) He stopped playing not long after, somewhere in 2005 or 2006. So im still stuck with no one to talk about ffxi beside my brother and him, who doesnt care much about it! haha
Since then, no one!

Double majored in French and Asian Studies (a catch-all major for classes that have anything remotely to do with China/Japan/Korea/Southeast Asia/India/Pakistan), minored in Chinese. Was one class away from a Japanese minor too. :/
"Asian Studies" on its own is kind of a bs major, so you pretty much have to focus on one country for it to be worth anything. I did China for the most part (with just a little Japan here and there). :] Now I live here. x.x
I really loved my time in Nashville too, but I probably have a skewed impression due to living on the Vandy campus. Rarely went very far into the city. :< Are you from there originally ?

OK what the actual ***. D:
LONG-*** STORY WARNING
I'm at a table eating dinner and there are 2 white ladies sitting behind me. It's pretty rare to see white people where I live, so this was already a strange event. <.<
ANYWAY, they finish their meal and one of them leaves. The other one comes over and starts talking to me. I'm pleasantly surprised because most foreigners I meet are conceited *** and think that if they talk to another white person, everyone will suddenly *gasp* realize they aren't from here. At any rate, she starts off asking if I work in the area, so I'm like OK cool she wants to have a conversation. Tell her she can sit down, ask her if she's also working here.
At this point, things get WEIRD. They didn't start to get weird, they just GOT weird. Out of nowhere. With no warning. She's like "yeah I work here but I keep having all these 'distractions.'" I'm like o.O? and she starts telling me about how she hasn't had sex for a year. Then she told me about all the men she's been with (or considered being with) since coming to China. Maybe it's just me, but this doesn't seem like the conversation you have with a random stranger before even saying what your name is. D:
Eventually, the owner of the restaurant comes over and tells us that the lady's friend ran off without paying for her coffee. The lady explains that her friend is "strange" and didn't want to pay for the coffee because she didn't like it. The owner didn't understand, so I translated for him (adding several times that I had NO IDEA who these people were). I think he picked up on the weirdness of the situation because he pretty much gave up on getting the money. <.< At this point, I'm wondering what other weird ***is gonna happen next.
After the owner walked away (leaving me alone again ; ;) the lady was like "oh wow you must have a Chinese girlfriend who taught you how to speak." I'm like "nah I learned before coming." OH GOD BIG MISTAKE. "Ohhh, so you don't have a girlfriend? You're single??" Shitshitshit. I made my phone ring under the table, "oh god I'm sorry, I'm really late" and socially-awkward-penguined out of there at high speed. This is like the 517234089th awkward thing that's happened to me since I moved here, wtffff

Is it bad that that didn't seem very awkward by my standards?

Yes!! Do you often have random strangers come up and talk to you about their dysfunctional sex lives?? I feel like that's weird even for like.. a bar setting. o.o;

Not often but it wouldn't be the first time... One girl back in HS randomly started talking about how she liked to have her BF eat smarties out of her belly button then asked for a hug.

Fun! I always wanted to do something interesting like that, instead I majored in mathematics haha. How you liking it over there? Like any FF fan I have always been fascinated by Asian culture.
I am originally from Oregon. Met my partner out there 9 years ago. The company he works for has locations all over the US and his promotions also include moves. We moved to DC area a couple years ago. Hated it hahaha. The attitude there is garbage! Everyone is in a hurry, traffic is beyond ridiculous, and no one says hi. He then was asked to come to Nashville only about 7 months ago. We love it here! Plenty to explore, people are nice, and I come from the country so it feels like home haha.
Just curious to see how many of us actually play FFXI. **Now, let's try to keep this clean, please don't respond if you have nothing nice to say.** :] Don't be shy, speak up! :D
EDIT: You don't have to be gay to post in here, if you want to be apart of our conversations.. feel free to join in! Don't be shy, we don't bite.. well some of us do! :] Anyyyyyways~! This thread has become a home to many from the LGBT community & even some from the straight community who are open minded and enjoy chit-chatting with us, :] so let's keep it drama free, we deserve a place where we can be ourselves without being made fun of/harassed.
