Shir! Israel 30th Dec - 7th Jan! Confirmed, and everything. F2F, yes? *happy bounce*
Who died and made you Elvis?

Spike's Bitches 45: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
there's a 30% chance of wintery mix.
Hrmph. Does not bode real well for my triangular travels.

Our wings are not tired.
But if you just talk about your friends in the same way you'd talk about anyone else -- "My friend Trevor and his partner Steve just got back from vacation, and they lost their house keys somewhere in Spain and couldn't get back in their house for 3 days!" -- that would seem normal and fairly chill.
Makes complete sense to this not gay person.
That experience just helped me learn that keeping a big secret about your identity can affect communication in weird ways that you might not anticipate and that "coming out" is not really about sex at all...I mean, it is, and it's not.
Absolutely. There are plenty of communications where no personal information is relevant at all. In communications that involve discussion with personal opinions and views it is helpful to have a picture of the personal experiences that have formed those views. Many young single gay guys may share the opinions of this old married with kids straight woman, but how we arrived at our views may have been via another path. How our experiences have shaped our views is an interesting part of discussion for me.
Yay for Israel F2F!!
Much ~ma for Sean. Also, miss you.
Yay for snow for thems that like it.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Erin, I'm Zenkitty714 on Twitter. Come, join us. I don't do much "I'm having a tuna sandwich! I'm standing in line!" posting, but I warn you, there are a lot of "my cat just..." posts.

Is it me, or is it super quiet in here today?

Our wings are not tired.
I gave up on Twitter when I realized that the only thing I had ever done was respond to follow requests. I had never posted there or gone there to read anything. Since there is already the neglected Facebook and the neglected Live Journal it seemed enough. When I do get time to be read or talk it is here.
eta: super quiet, the reason why I could enter the thread without mass skippage

Now tagless for your comfort.
erin, I'm Cashmere on twitter, too.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
:: sits with Laura on why no Twittering ::
erika, I feel your pain. Especially wrt the online dating. When to reveal? Not too early, lest you scare away from the onset, but not something to wait until at first meeting. I try to make sure at least one picture has the crutches. Of course, being nice dark sticks, they don't jump out at ya as much as the old ugly silver ones.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I do most of my online communicating here, but since Alyson Hannigan and Stephen Fry don't post here, Twitter has its uses.
