The feeling when you dodge 3-4 tornados is something.

Glad you're safe. I couldn't even imagine living through something like that.

I mean, generally, one isn't that bad, its easy to keep track off. But warnings and confirmation kept popping up, so it was tough for the weather guy to keep focus on the possible track of the warning that would affect me.

I do miss having a basement to go to to wait it out, though.

Do you have any kind of safe room?

 

[Sithborg]

Do you have any kind of safe room?

Bathroom.

 

[squeekness]

Bathroom.

Is that even safe enough?

 

[Sithborg]

Is that even safe enough?

Interior room with no windows. shrug

 

[squeekness]

Ooh!!! Got a thunder boomer going on. Been ages . I love a good window rattler.

Didn’t know where else to post this, but I’m officially out as trans. Pronouns are in my bio. Nice to meet you, everyone.

Took me a while and a lot of deliberating and self discovery over the past few years, but very early this morning, the egg finally cracked, and I’m so happy it did. I feel so much lighter and so much happier. The happiest I’ve been, in fact, in a really, really long time. It’s like this huge weight that I’ve been carrying has finally been lifted, or this very big blockage has finally been cleared. This is gonna sound cheesy, but it’s like being born again, or seeing the sun or walking on grass for the first time.

I just started my journey and I admittedly am very new to this and still have a lot to learn, but I’m so excited (and relieved) to go on and share this journey with you all.

That’s awesome! Best of luck to you on your journey! up:

Thank you! My parents are conservative Christians and not very understanding and accepting of this kind of thing, especially my dad, so I’m gonna have to keep it from them as a secret for a very long time until I am back on my own 2 feet and living away from them. Fortunately, there are a few people in my life that have no problem with it that I can share it with, so that will definitely make things a bit easier for me.

Hopefully your parents love you as you are and will be more accepting as time goes by.

Trust me, it would take a miracle for them, especially my dad who is very homophobic.

When the time comes for me to officially come out to them, I hope it happens. If it doesn’t, I’m perfectly fine with that and have accepted the possibility. Either way, I’m fine with it. I know who I am, so I don’t have to prove anything to them. But I’ve always been kind of like that anyway, personality wise.

I just had my first job interview since the pandemic because of my anxiety of germs and no luck despite submitting my resume to many places in office environments.

It went really well actually, and they want me to start working on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursday next week. Really looking forward to utilizing my skills again! Will also be nice to get outside my house more often.

So, even though I've been around the hype for quite some time, I have no idea what a rocket propelled grenade thread is. Is it dangerous? Do we wait to see if it blows up (literally or figuratively)?

Just make sure to wear sunglasses and sun tanning lotion.

Congratulations! Hope it's something you enjoy doing.

I'm going to the Cruel World festival this Saturday in Pasadena. Seems I know people who know people. Sunglasses are a given, but bronze gods don't need suntan lotion....just goat, grapes, and ale.

So, when's our coronation?

So, fortunately, my previous post about how my parents would react did not age well at all.

Just finished having a family meeting with my brother, his wife and my sister there to support me coming out to my parents. My mom and dad were very accepting, understanding and supportive. They still don’t quite get what all of this trans stuff is and have a lot to process, but they’re taking steps in the right direction. They’ll get there eventually.

I'd like to think most parents love their children enough to accept even some hard things they may not like. I don't know what it would take for me to disown my daughter but it would have to be a LOT. It was this optimism that had me hoping your parents could handle what you had to say. I'm glad it worked out for you.

 

[Still Wynning]

And I just went public on Facebook. We’ll see how that shakes out. Most definitely going to be burning some bridges.

This doesn't surprise me in the least. Parents can pleasantly surprise you. No matter their prejudices, they generally love their children, want them to be happy and will support them. In fact, I think you've done a great service to your parents by being honest with them. I think it quite likely they will modify their attitudes because of your courage. This is a benefit to all of us. I wish you luck and want you to know that you have the support of a lot of people who aren't in your social orbit.

 

[The Question]

I will advertise my RPG thread here in the lounge just this one time before I leave the rest to the whims of fate. The RPGs used to be really fun back when we had them here on the Hype, and could be again. I highly recommend giving it a shot if you're a creative nerdy type.

Moderators: The Question Welcome to the return of the Hype RPGs. For those not in the know, SHH used to be home to a pretty lively community of play-by-post RPGs. These aren't mechanics based games like Dungeons & Dragons with dice and hit points and whatnot, but instead more of a collaborative...

Going well so far. Either a lot of others haven’t seen it or probably just don’t care enough to respond.
