Kattegat in Denmark ... that's not far from Oslo, Norway where I am.
Hey, I've been to Annapolis, I think. It's a city/town near Washington D.C. It looks very cosy, almost European, and aaaah, the midshipman suddenly makes sense because I remember the naval base. (We tried to enter, but were refused.) I remember a small town centre (marketplace like) with a small harbor and some statues, because we saw quite a few joggers there and I figured that some of them just had to be gayiGary said:You know why young, gay men (for that matter gay men all the same) are horny and sometimes promiscuous?
Because we're petrified to do anything until we come out of the closet and cannot display affection in public. Wonder why.
Rob and I have caught ourselves in Annapolis here a few times being a little too afefctionate. In DC that's fine (we'd walk all over town holding hands), but here in Annapolis? Nope.

Thanks! I usually concentrate to write English to the best of my knowledge and I also try to pick up expressions and informal writing here on macrumors. Sometimes I get lazy, though, and just write whatever comes to mind.iGary said:

It represents so much to me, though, to hold a guys hand like that. I'm definitely going to do it.

Hehe, I'm trying to find a picture of my room that I took earlier this year to illustrate why my place is no good place to stay at. I live in a small room in a barrack and there's not much room for more than one person. The only reason why I live here is that the rent is just $150 per month. I can't find the picture. I think it was lost in a hard drive crash.iGary said:It is better than some American's write it, I might say.
Well, at least I have a place to stay in Oslo when I visit.
Yes, I work in the military, but only as a civilian. It still gives me some "military benefits" like this accommodation. Most others who rent a room here are either officers who stay here part time or students at "officer school" (I don't know the proper English word for that).iGary said:

Edit: Some of the students are hot!
So X drove me home, and we had a nice little conversation. He was impressed that I go to Parsons. I gave him my number and told him to call me next time he goes clubbing.
, given my weird ass schedule, but he wanted me to go out with him that night. I'm going to call him tonight and see if he wants to go clubbing again tonight.. I have an insane amount of stuff to do this weekend.

That reminds me, I have a new Chapter to add:
THE ADVENTURES OF EMERSON IN NYC
Chapter 7
I went to Splash again on Thursday. But that's a given, Splash is my Thursday night club. I got there at 11:59 to avoid the cover, but to miss the extremely dumb contest in which icky college boys compete to earn $200. By coming at 11:59 I allowed myself to go straight to the dance floor.
I've gotten a lot of confidence since moving to NYC. If I want to dance with a guy, I go dance near him, inch closer, and I almost end up dancing with him 99% of the time. Splash annoys me though, the guys are either too young (~23 and younger) or too old (~40+) for my tastes, for the most part. I only found one guy on the dance floor that I was attracted to, he was really short (which I find to be adorable, even though I prefer guys to be big, 6'+ guys are hot) - like 5'5". But he was dancing with another guy, so I just went over to that general area. I ended up dancing with his friend, who was good looking, but very young. He was a good dancer, Hispanic, and he sang along to "La Tortura" (Shakira), which was really cool.
I did a lot of 'train' dancing tonight. Where 3-5 guys dance in one big line. I don't really like doing that as much as dancing with one guy, but it was still fun. So all of us ended up in a line. I was getting bored with them though, the whole line thing just wasn't appealing to me anymore. Oh, and I should say that one of the guys in the line kept grabbing my hands and running them over his pubic region. He was... excited to be dancing. I did not want to give him the impression that I wanted to rub his schlong, so I left that group of dancing fools.
So I went to another section of the dance floor and started dancing alone. I was eyeing a cute guy in a black t-shirt, hoping that he'd inch over to me while we danced, but a creepy older guy behind me started dancing with me. I didn't even realize that he was behind me until he was on top of me. He was not one of the older guys who takes care of their physical appearance, and he wasn't very polite about touching me. I won't pretty it up - he shoved his hands in my pants and grabbed my penis. I did not appreciate this, so I grabbed his wrists and moved his hands out of my pants. He moved them back in. We played this 'game' for a minute or two. I saw the guy who I had been eyeing (the one in the black shirt) watching me, slightly amused. He ended up coming and getting in front of me and dancing with us (damnit, another train dancing thing
So, I was once again alone, dancing. However, by dancing with the one creepy guy, I think that was the green light for all the creepy guys in the club, because they were flocking to me, and not in a pleasant way. I decided that I'd go downstairs, sit down and take a rest, and see if 5 minutes would get me anywhere. It worked! When I went back upstairs, none of the guys were approaching me. I made a quick circle around the dance floor, scouting out a good place to dance/a good guy to dance with. A cute guy smiled at me, I smiled back, and we ended up dancing (if only it worked that way on the street
So, we exit the club, and we talk as we walk back to my dorm which is a mere two blocks away. He was really nice, and he had an adorable lisp. Not the stereotypical 'gay lisp', but a genuine "I can't say s's lisp" which turned me off, but I thought it was adorable. He was pretty shy, and believe it or not, so am I (off the dancefloor, at least). So, our two block conversation was chock full of awkward silences and general awkwardness. I really didn't feel a mental connection with him. We couldn't find anything to talk about. But he seemed very nice and I enjoyed dancing with him, so I got his number and told him that I would call him on Sunday and that we'd go dancing again (Sunday nights are Avalon nights - exciting).
I kind of regret doing that though, because I know that Sunday night will be full of awkward moments. I don't want a relationship with him. I'm going to be very picky about my first romantic relationship, I want to do it right. So I'm afraid that I'm leading him in the wrong direction by inviting him to go dancing with me at Avalon. I don't think he was that wild about me, either, though, so I think all I'll have to do is dance with another guy at Avalon when we get there to send him the message of "I just want to be buddies". It's still going to be awkward.
But only time will tell how are second meeting turns out, so I guess that will be Chapter 8. Probably not, actually. I'll be going out on Saturday night, so I'll probably have a story for that too.

Good for you Emerson, memories are a very important part of life. Even at your age it's good to know what you'd like to expect. Hell in a hashish hookah,scem0 said:

However, I think that the stereotype of promiscuity in the gay community holds true a lot of the time. I don't think I represent the general community's set of values.
So, in a way, I think the Christian conservatives are actually *gasp* right about a good percentage of us. I think the problem is that they put us all in the same, big box based on our sexualities. It's not fair to me that I get judged based on the promiscuity of other people, whether they are a majority or not.
have you ever listened to 'The Dawn and Drew Show'? It's a lot like Patrick and Noah, but I think it's a lot funnier. I have only listened to one patrich and noah show, though, so I'm not fit to say such things with authority.

But it isn't very... classy. I told a sophomore from my school that I go to Splash every Thursday and he told me to have some "homosexual self-respect"

leekohler said:Well, I just have to say this- I have no problem with promiscuity as long as the proper precautions are taken. I've had periods in my life when I'm slutty as hell and when I'm in long-term relationships. Both have their ups and downs. I refuse to live my life by straight people's standards. I could care less what they think about me, and IMO I have nothing to prove to them. It's certainly not as if their methods have worked so well.
I'll check out dawn and drew. Listen to some more Patrick and Noah. The episodes do vary in their comedic value.
