Hahaha, huge. Quite appropriate for this thread.
Just makes me think of Family Guy. Hehehehe, duty.
I also like the title of the thread. That's pretty much the first thing I think to myself whenever I go anywhere. "Good God I hope I'm not the only mo here."

I went and bought one of the Onion's "Area Homosexual" tshirts, and i've found that whenever i wear it out, I have no trouble at all discerning the mos in the room-- they're all smiling at me. As an added bonus, certain people won't make eye contact with me, so it's like living in my own little gay bubble. One of these days, i'm going to get preached at, but in my best Southern Minister, i'm going to preach right back.
I live in the South. And to be honest, that's the only thing I hate about it. The bigotry. Its kinda sad to be honest with you.rainman::|:| said:
The bigotry of the South has driven men to be afraid to come out, me included. I was terrified to come out. But one I was taking a walk, and passed by the park. I dunno what drove me to do it, but I did, and I heard "My wife's out of town, and the kids are at their grandma's. We can go back to my place." And that made me sad. It was at that moment I refused to be scared any longer. It was at that moment I refused to end up a scared, closeted homosexual, getting blowjobs in the park, because that's the only way I can express how I feel. I hate the attitude toward anything differnt in the South.
No, I take that back, I hate the weather too. Its hot as Hell and muggy to boot.

i sympathize 100%, and you have my respect, many guys find this hollow, sad sustenance in cruising... and i'm not morally condemning anything here, but I take it you've come out, which means you get to have real relationships, which are so much better. Take it from someone who's done both
I don't know how long you've been out, but eventually you really don't mind those little awkward "do you have a girlfriend?" "no..." moments... it's just worth it. Be safe tho, Matthew Shepards do happen, one just happened in a city not far from me in Iowa...
Hmm. G-O-M says way too straight.
But Howcome:
Most of my close friends are women and gay men, I'd rather gossip than watch football on TV (ergo, MacRumors habit -- besides I don't have a TV), I'm a cat person and read every post in the pets thread - twice, I like songwriting, birdwatching and gardening, don't drink beer, don't own a pickup truck, chainsaw or guns (don't laugh - the last three are a residency requirement for some municipalities around here...), Had an iBook, traded it in for 2 Minis - I hold Minis in one hand and giggle. Sometimes in public . Bought lots of sensitive singer-songwriter tracks from iTMS. Like playing baseball and volleyball, not hockey or lacrosse.
OTOH: No fashion sense, have an absolute, spine-crawling aversion to body piercing, indifference to interior decorating, personal workspace based on the "Pile-it-higher" organization theory, I like electronics way more than furniture (in my bachelor days, read "instead of furniture"), never met a power tool I didn't covet, and choose personal care products based on the lowest cost per gallon. Can't stand Cher or Frankie Goes to Hollywood, but bought Van Halen's greatest hits.
Hmm. Straight, no macho, is that it? Is that all there is? Somehow I feel cheated...
Couple of things about the test: The "Did you ever fight in the street" question should have specified "giving" or "receiving". Ouch.
Laughed at the haircutting question: my wife had to force me to get rid of the nascent "Grizzly Adams" look yesterday.

*decorates* HAHA, Not really. Me and decorating...Well, lets just say...it ain't a good match. I think about the only "gay" thing that I do is saying "like, omg, and so" a wee bit too much. Other than that, I'm not that "gay". Well, ya know, except for that whole liking guys thing.
For example...I'm EXTREMELY disorganized. Well, not really. I know where things are at, but those things are burried in a stacks of about 1000 papers which are scattered here and there. Some of the table, some the floor. Eh, a few down behind my desk and some stapled to the walls so I see em. Basically, wherever they fit. This applies for dirty clothes too. Actually, not just dirty clothes. I think half my closet is on the floor. I'm not really sure what's clean or dirty. But, what the hell, just pop it in the laundry for a few min. It'll be cool! It sorta applies to food also. There's been times i've had chips, two day old cereal, 1 day old cereal, two week old half eaten Fast Food stuff, pretzels, candy, and that nights supper on my desk at one time along with about 8 glasses from god knows when.
God help the person I end up with...
iGary said:
all right then! we'll need several glueguns, some fuzzy edging, a bunch of sequins, and endless decoupage... and we're decorating... leekohler.
Yeah. I tend to say that prayer a lot, cause I'm the same way. Although I do have a filing cabinate now, and a date book. I feel all growed up now. Except for all the food stuff. Old food grosses me out. I have a very acute sense of smell. But I can't hear or see for ****. Go figure. I can't match colors either.Frozone said:

Well, I'm a food-a-holic. I needa stop eating so much. I'm 16, about 5'6" tall and weigh only 140 pounds so most people wouldn't really think I eat THAT much. But, in a single day i've been known to eat 2 Chicken Biscuits and a 4 Pack Chicken-Mini-Combo with a Large Lemonade from Chick-Fil-A, and then get to school and snack on chips or something else until lunch. Then at lunch eat the school food along with fries or w/e everyone else doesn't eat. Then, after school a few hours later I'll go by somewhere and pick up about 2 combo's from Chick-Fil-A or Zaxby's and eat and then go to work. A few hours later I go back out to eat and get something from one of those places again and then make my way home. Eat all that food and then most of the time have a snack waiting on Supper. Then eat supper and grab a bag of David Sunflower seeds and eat about 16 oz's of Sunflower seeds in a few hours before having one more snack or something before I go to bed. I LOVE EATING! Food is just so good. Needless to say, it's not very good for my health and in a few years once my metobalism(SP) slows down it won't be good for my weight. It cost a damn good bit to! I can easily spend 60-100 dollars on just food alone at fast food places in a day.
Oh and for that organizing thing. I've tried that and I have some boxes that I try and keep certain things in. It works, but only for about the first 2 days. After that, I'm like "Oh, i'll just lay this here for now and put it up later" A week later i've got about a foot of stuff piled on top of that. I had a picture of what my desk looked like at one point, but it got deleted. Boy, o' Boy what a scary picture that was!
iGary said:Enjoy it while it lasts.
You stole the words right from my mouth!
He better watch what he wishes for.
Yeah. I'm a Cajun. I come from a big Cajun family. I understand about food. I eat way to much too. It's not good for me. I have diabetes on both sides of the family, cancer, every heart condition you know. I'm all but dead I guess. So I really need to start watching my health.

Yeah, diseases run in my family too. Espically cancer. Just about everyone I know in my family has had a run in with Cancer, including my GrandaMa (Fought it for 10 years), my Grandpa, My Great Aunts, My Great Uncles, and my aunt has had lumps removed from her breats already. So, we have a very high risk of cancer. Lets just hope i'm one of the odd balls.
iGary said:You already are.
Haha, well atleast i'm not alone in THAT sorta "odd-ballishness". My cousin is a lesbian. She actually had the "balls" to come out tho. Did so the week my grandma died. I was thinking there would be a HUGE stink over it all, but everyone was surprisingly understanding. Just lots of talks WAY into the wee hours of the morning. All my cousin's love to talk to her Girlfriends too. I think the only person in my family that doesn't know is my Grandpa. No one will talk about it around him, nor let him know. It's just sorta an "understood" thing to not tell him, I guess. Cuz, everytime it comes up and he's within a few rooms away you get these very weird eye looks which are basically telling you to ****! We're not sure how he would take it, but we really don't want to take that chance.

Yeah for the sake of good taste, and many people in this thread, I wasn't going to go there...
