Not a gay issue- but I thought I'd post here anyway

In case you didn't realize it, you know you've hit bottom when you have to go on the Internet to get your warm fuzzies from total strangers, all of whom (except me) are using fake names....

I know, right?
But I figured it was one step up from npcs. I'm trying not to replace real life w/virtual life... Trying not to bury myself before I'm dead.

Wouldn't NY absolutely eat an ignorant country boy like me alive? I've always wanted 2 go, but always been afraid...

What a lovely, constructive thing to say to a person during a period of emotional turmoil. Real class act.

And Candi? For what it's worth, I do care; you're a nice guy, you don't deserve crap like you're getting. As for NY... If an Aussie bumpkin like me, from Tasmania to boot, can survive there, then you'll do just fine

Oh, and about that fake name crack? I'm Ryan. Hi!

Does knowing each other's names make the constant sexual harassment more bearable? Or does it make me even creepier?

 

[fingermagic]

I think you have a lot of drama in your life. Some people enjoy or feed off the drama. It is sometimes energizing when you are young, annoying and pittyful when you get older. I am a "to each his own, live and let live person", however, if you do not enjoy the drama, do what you can to change your situation. You may end upa happier person.

Hmm. I dunno, I never felt it was creepy at all, but then again, I'm the kind of guy who likes getting that kind of attention. Makes me feel pretty

I'm sure you are pretty- I dig a guy with scars- and from what you've told me, you're fucking Vash the Stampede. I'd hit that in a second.

Plus, you live in NY, so you're all cultured and shit. PLUS, you're from Tasmania, so I'm assuming you have a hot Aussie accent. You could say literally anything and make it sound hot.

Whereas I am a hick. If I leave this state, I'm going to lose my accent. And by lose, I mean take into a back alley and shoot in the fucking head. I'll never get laid sounding like a moonshine running trailer trash meth-head. People will think I have a pick-up truck with bodies in the back.

Dude, if I was half as cool as Vash, I'd be happy with that. Actually, I'm just a nerdier, live action version of my av

Nah, I don't live in NY, although I have visited for extended periods. I still live in Australia, where the accent isn't that remarkable. And mine's so thick, I occasionally mispronounce my own name: "Roian"

So I get the whole accent hatred thing. Hell, when I was living in London I'd occasionally just put on a British accent for hours at a time, just so I could pronounce things properly. Still had very broad A's, but it turns out I'm good with accents. Very handy in my line of work.

London? New York? Fucking Tasmania?

You get around, don't you, Kuro?

I don't think the place where I was born really counts as a travel destination, though!

Right now I'm back in what I consider my home town, which is where I spent the majority of my childhood, and it's where I'll probably stay, for now. I was born in Tasmania, and London only started out as a graduation trip, before I met my wife there and ended up staying.

I spent a year in America, and a year in Japan too, so... Yeah, I guess I do get around. Think I've settled down now that I've got a family, though.

Goddamn it- every time you tell me something about your life, I get more and more jealous. And I don't usually get jealous. I know you've already got a mistress, but are you sure you don't need a rent boy?

Also, out of curiosity, is weed legal in Australia? Whatwith y'hall being all laid back and whatnot.

Wouldn't mind a rent boy. Why? Are you offering?

And nope, no legal weed, lamentably. Socially we're pretty laid back, but... I don't really know what the fuck is up with the government. I think the problem is that, mostly, we really just have two right wing parties making up parliament, even though the deciding votes come from a smaller left wing party, lately...

Well, that's a little indepth. I can't buy weed, is the point

 

[dkak001]

I'm 20, not 14. I don't see a reason that I need to live like this anymore.

You don't. Just find a way to move on. It may take some time (like until they are all dead!), but it should improve the more you can distance yourself from them.

Your situation really sucks. Though I've never dealt with anything like that, I do feel for you and wish you luck.

Good luck!

The word "lamentably" in that sentence made me happy. You know, you've made my sappy depressing thread just a back & forth of us flirting again.

Thanks.

I go to court over all this stupid shit Tues. Bill's the only person going with me and I am pretty fucking pissed about it. Thinking, very seriously about trying to save some money and move- start a new life.

 

[CandiCame]

Well, that went fucking horrible. None of my friends showed up to support me, so I was completely fucked on evidence, with no witnesses, and the judge completely dismissed the case. Really fucking scared, and really fucking depressed right now. I can't stop thinking about the case- and I don't know why. I can't calm down, no matter what I try to do- I want to be able to calm down, but I can't stop freaking out.

Bill took me out to lunch afterward and some creepy lady kept leering over at us. It was weird. I've been super paranoid all day- I just want it over.

 

[LucyH]

I'm sorry it didn't go well for you

Luckily, I guess, there's only so long you can completely freak out, whether you figure out how to calm down or not.

God damn, dude. That fucking sucks.

The only advice I could give is to try and not let this bullshit you're going through rule your life, but I know how hard that is. I'd offer you sanctuary, living in my attic or something, but at the moment I doubt it'd be entirely hospitable. My house is pretty full up with new babies; do you know how much those things cry?
