Confession is good for the Hype. - - Part 11

[Ultimatehero]

Metaphorically. Power - liking dudes and chicks. I'm out, but it still weighs on me sometimes - I feel guilty about noticing a guy sometimes. Kinda hard to explain. It's not really me feeling bad that I've noticed, more awkward and afraid that the guy and whomever I am walking around with will pick up on it.

 

[Warhammer]

Whoa, is this the first time you've come out? Either way, I could only imagine that is tough for you. It'll take time but you'll get used to it eventually. Be mutant and proud.

 

[Ultimatehero]

I'm out. It's just never knowing how a guy will react if he notices or how someone around me will react. I've been out to myself for two years now and to my parents and friends for one year now. But, also grew up with students in high school calling me *** - for being a writer (which to be in the arts in a sports dominated all-guys school meant that to them) - which led to years of hoping I was just a strange straight guy despite inwardly knowing that I wasn't. Guess it's just still getting over years of that.

 

[Warhammer]

I have another confession. The other night, a friend of mine who I've had something of a falling out with (former roommate who I got fed up with) called me and told me that she misses me. We have hardly talked or been near each other since May. She said that she is sorry and that she doesn't want us to lose our friendship. I told her that I wouldn't want to throw away the years of friendship that we had. We'll have to work at it, but it'll get better.

I lied right to her. I hung up the phone and knew that everything I said was so I wouldn't look like an assh***. I've become so complacent with where our friendship is that I have no desire to repair it. Even though I feel like I should be guilty, I'm not guilty.

Honestly, as cliche as it is, if he is a bigot, he isn't you wasting time worth worrying about. My thing is, if you like dudes, that's on you. You aren't judging me so I won't judge you. I've been friends with LGBT men and women. People get caught up in bulls*** that is irrelevant to themselves.

I do understand your pain, though. Bullying cuts deep and leaves a huge wound that manifests into horrible insecurities. I used to be severely bullied in middle school and to this day, I've never fully recovered. But as I got older, I gained perspective. Eventually, you will too. I bet you've come along way in two years. Like I said, try not to worry about bigots.

Oh, you will. It's so much easier in college. So many young people in one area. They'll put out easily too with minimum work...if that's what you're looking for. Wrap it up.

But honestly, it is easier to find someone. Join a club/organization or ask someone in your class to be a study buddy. As long as you look half decent, you're good.

Nobody wanted to sleep with me in college. I needed to dress more as Catwoman or something.

Yeah I find that society wants to categorize people, so bisexual folks get a lot of grief for not "choosing." IMO, I don't get it. You love whom you love.

At least you didn't catch HPV or the clap. Woo!

 

[Anita18]

Yeah it turns out all right, I'm not complaining.

Although I was bitter back then, when guys would just pass me over because I was such a tomboy I was always "one of the guys."

Eh, I'm more interested in a relationship than a tapping.

As for looking good... it's a long story.

Run.

I've been having a discussion on Facebook with a former classmate about race. She is a black woman from the West side of Chicago and I am a white guy from the far suburbs. It started out pretty respectfully for the first few days but I did feel that some of her comments were condescending...even though I admit that I really know nothing at all about what it is like to be black in America. Some of her attitude got to me and I responded with angry but polite irritation. She hasnt responded in two days. So much for a dialog.

[Anita18]

I confess I'm actually not that torn up about not getting that internship that my contact at the company all but told me was mine. Turns out I needed more relevant experience, which is not untrue.

At least this means I won't be moving from my current place, haha, because I hate moving. Feeling out old contacts, continuing to hustle, going onwards as we all do in life...

 

[nite-owl]

I confess I've never found Eddie Murphy funny.

 

[Manic]

Not even his work in the 80's?

 

[nite-owl]

I liked Trading Places and Beverly Hills Cop but that's it.

Also the 48Hrs movies were pretty good.

If I assume she acts the way I behave, I think she might have been pretty anxious and the discussion went out of control cause she remembers people making her act in some undesirable poignancy (not desirable even/especially by her), then come a few days of shame to respond again, and she will cool off and maybe apologize for some of the tensity later

Nah, she wasnt ashamed. We are back to talking again. Everything is good.

Confession:

I think I'm addicted to porn

 

[Duke]

I confess that lately I've become addicted to buying Marvel Masterworks books & sometimes it's a bit costly. I also confess that I don't find these new compact cars from Europe such as the Mini Cooper or the new Fiats visually appealing.

 

[ComicChick]

you can probably find them cheaper on gohastings. and they regularly have 30-40% off sales

 

[bullets]

I don't find these new compact cars from Europe such as the Mini Cooper or the new Fiats visually appealing.

That's because they are too small. I wouldn't want to drive around in them either.
