FFXI LGBT Community, Who Are You?

Awww... /comfort

That's good news! I need a baking buddy! I've had cheesecake on the brain for the past couple of days, but I can never make it without it cracking during refrigeration. Sooo frustrating!

In the end - barring the mentally infirm - we are all free to choose our behavior. I choose, for example, to act on my attraction to men. I'm not particularly effeminate, but this choice of mine is nonetheless disgusting in the eyes of a whoooole lot of people.

Their disgust is firmly rooted in the expectations they have regarding "appropriate" - or as you put it above, "decent" - male behavior. I don't appreciate being held to this standard. I don't consider myself the slightest bit indecent. I can also imagine that "overly masculine" women or "overly feminine" men don't appreciate being held to other people's arbitrary standards of "decency."

This isn't to say that I find effeminate qualities attractive in men (quite the contrary), but I can (and have) looked past that - and found some really great guys.^^ Friend material and date material~

Cheesecakes piss me off! >:[
It almost always cracks on me so, I use it in another dish as bite size pieces! D:
I love making key lime pies~

Omg, do you like flan?
I make a MEAN choco-flan. <3
(Chocolate cake base, flan top half portion, all drenched in flan sauce~~) nomnomnomnom

Ramen >.> with an egg. Thats my limitation. And I wish I could find boys like you, Carrelo. I'm in the gayest city in the world, yet I can't.. -.-. Plus, I don't like going to clubs because I don't like being touched by strangers. I usually tell strange men that I'm underage lol.

Tomorrow we shall see which one wins! As for now Galka needs his sleep hibernation period. Good night! <3

Errr, I meant the gay community as in the homosexual male community.^^;

And I know Scrumpet's not a misogynist, we've had many a long conversation. :3 I was responding to the comments rather than to their authors personally, if that makes sense. :X

lol well at least you're not smack dab in the middle of the south. ; ; It's so hard to find people because everyone has to be so careful. XD I'm still working up my courage to go to the local gay bar. :X


Night night.^^ Stop being sick !! :P

Oh God! I haven't had flan in such a long time! This is starting to effect my sweet tooth.

Ok, decency is defined from one person to another; there is a social norm, however, there is no way to define a universal definition of "decency."

Also, I really don't understand your stand on this topic.
As of recently, homosexuality is far more accepted than what it used to be. Of course, I am using the term "accepted" as a general understanding that there are homosexuals and they are humans too. You, on-the-other-hand, are on the extremest side by using the word "disgust."

As I said, I am not disgusted by overly masculine women/feminine men (I am going to abbreviate this as MW/FM) however, due to my limited interaction with individuals of this category, I am not accustomed to their ways and find it particularly different.

I've never stated that "decency" was a standard that was to be met. I meant that there are some MW/FM that extend far beyond what I am used to and it is - in my terms - "different."

Well actually, I hail from Mississippi, so I feel your pain. Back home I'm straight as a stick.. until I can financially back myself >.>. I just go to school here in NYC.~ But there's definitely a lot more freedom here, can hold hands with someone without getting beat up, which is nice.

Omg, why did this remind me of how Paula Deen uses butter in EVERYTHING?


You don't talk to me anymore. ;;


Oumura, I enjoy how you always act live like a Galka. x3

Ever had fried butter? ~

i dont get to cook often because we rarely have a nice enough store of ingredients to cook anything D=

regarding cheesecake, i've been around the cheesecake factory in charlotte twice this week and havent been able to go to it ; ; i looooove me some cheesecake

i make mean chocolate peanut butter cream pie, its delicious but quite sweet. so good that i'd always be asked to make a few for events in high school, and it'd be all gone by the time i got to dessert ; ;

i wanna have shopping buddies D=

im kinda split on what i wanna go back to college for on one hand theres computer science, where i can learn how to program and stuff and go into a field with the knowledge of there being jobs for it,

on another hand i have an interest in graphic design, i know i have the capability to draw, i just have to learn the techniques

and on a magically there third hand, ive always kinda had interest in fashion design, ever since i was little i would use towels after taking a shower, or my sheets as i lay in bed at night and wrap them around me to make different clothing designs.

I've had a fried Snickers ice cream bar at a fair before (we shared it with three people because it was toooooo sweet) and that wasn't fun; haha.

Also, yay~!
Another southerner~! :3

I live in super South TX. I've never had a problem (omg, I accidentally spelled "problem" as "probrem" ;;) with any lgbt hate except for the average "f**king ***" being tossed around all over - thankfully not directed to me.

I really don't like public display of affection so when I would walk around with the ex, we no one really suspected anything of it and when we would depart, hardly anyone saw a goodbye kiss. (Notice the term "kiss" not "make-out session"~ xD)

Hmm, I guess I am just odd~ @@;

That just sounds terrible. Did you like it?

scrumpy said it >.>;

edit:
im a southerner too! just in the state thats the furthest north you can be and still be considered southern (unless you count WV and VA)

I don't enjoy Galkas. . .
If I had to choose any of the FFXI races, it would probably be Elvaans.

Also, after eating "Chocolate Peanut Butter Cream Pie," I am more than sure I'd end up diabetic! D:<

Edit: Woot, gay southerners! xD
I say "Y'all" all the time~ <3

blegh, too lanky for my tastes

edit: you would be, after everyone finished their slice they would come up to me and be like "omg i love this but its soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo sweet"

ATX right here!!! Where in South Texas are you?

Austin?

I live five hours south of Austin.

McAllen, TX is close by.

Edit:


Omg, if they had glasses, I would die!!!! <3

or as Zahrah says it, "spectacles"~ lawl

i swear like half my friends through ffxi are in texas =/

I go to school for fashion design. It is definitely not an easy journey. Graphic design is.. more complicated that it seems, it's kind of a test or morality and how you deal with situations.

In terms of the drawing thing, computers do all the work nowadays, you don't necessarily have to be Da Vinci to do design these days.

Have no idea what computer science is.. so .. sorry >.>.

For me, fashion is basically everything, if I didn't know for sure I wanted to do it, then I wasn't going to do it. I go to one of the toughest programs in the states, overall, not just in terms of design but in difficulty alone.(I say that but I somehow got my homework done and am lounging on this site atm lol, semesters gotten a lot more lenient A LOT) The dress in my DP is the one I did for a competition (along with four other dresses), I mean.. the first year here you don't actually get to do fashion, so it was really a great opportunity I was chosen to be a part of it.

If you really love graphic design though, Milton Glaser is definitely someone to read up on, he's one of THE most articulated and intelligent of them all really.

I would honestly kill myself if I had to do this for a living. . .
I programed Java and C++ for high school. . . NEVER AGAIN!


You should move to TX with us! <3

..suprisingly yes. and normally I'm a pretty healthy eater, some things just picque my interest I guess haha.

I inferred disgust from the original comment about shivering at the sight of someone. >__> Since I haven't met many people with the ability to lower air temperature merely by being present. :o

I feel like we fundamentally agree on this issue. XD There just seem to be some semantic disconnects lol (standards/conformity are part of the definition of "decency," for example).

<3 Paula Deen~


You know I have to avoid fb like the plague during the academic year. ; ; Otherwise I wouldn't ever get anything done lol ; ;


Hahah yeah I'm from AL, where I'm out to a grand total of one person (though hopefully not for long).^^ I'm at school in Nashville, TN. :)


Anyways, gotta finish this paper. Catch all of yall later. :3

There are a bunch of us from what I have seen! We're taking over! LOL!

I chose computer science as a major at the age of 17 straight out of high school... and hated it so much I changed my major two months in. I definitely understand when you say NEVER AGAIN! D:

Someone who understands my pain! <3

i was originally in the school of music for music technology, but that didnt work out, so now im not quite sure what to do


but i want to move to sweden D=

Yay for neutral countries~
