The Gay Thread

Abacus · 07-26-2009, 10:43 PM

I think they think I'm a slut of some sort, because I've had a couple random hook-ups here and there, and everyone in Burlington is so boring and plain... I think y'all are right though... Unfortch, my family and I are going on vacation for two weeks in about 4 or 5 days, so I may not see him til mid-august.

I DID think maybe he'll just be a cool friend to have around. And he live like, a 5 minute drive from my house, which is very convenient.

Thought I would keep this thread alive. I'm 19, gay, and I have had zero experience with any kind of gay culture. I live in a city where the only gay club is called Diva's and I think that pretty much sums it up. A room full of queens dancing to house music is not my idea of fun.

WELCOME!

Why is it that all the gays on the internet all live in shit-ass towns????

In my city, there is no gay club, gay bar, gay anything. I can count on my hands the number of gays I have seen here, and even fewer of them are Out. I have zero gay friends, and the only other gay I was on speaking terms with I dated and made it awkward (obvi, we broke up).

The gay my friends are trying to set me up with I haven't even ever really met.

smh. We should all just move to one big, gay island. Where we can all be gay and gay together. And things would be just nice and gay. Gay.

But you live so close to Toronto. Haven't you made any gay friends that live there?

Abacus · 07-30-2009, 01:35 AM

It's still an hour's train ride out. I know a couple of gays who're friends of my cousin's that live there, but between work and school and life, it's hard to be out in Toronto often enough to make actual friends.

And to be perfectly honest, I'm a little intimated of them too.

Plus, I'm only 20, and live in a middle eastern household. It wasn't til I was like, 17 or 18 that my mom let loose her vice-grip on my life enough that I was allowed to make my way to toronto by myself.

What are you studying in school?

Abacus · 07-30-2009, 01:40 AM

I hate to perpetuate a stereotype but it's Visual Merchandising, and after that I'm either going to do a fashion program or a marketing program (depending on what I'm feeling at the time)...

I took Journalism for a year in Ottawa, and discovered that although I love to write, I despise the style. And unfortunately, in today's world, the only way to make money writing is to do it journalistically.

naberdy · 07-30-2009, 01:43 AM

I'm still trying to figure out what I could possibly want to spend the rest of my life doing, or at least a large part of it. I don't really trust my judgment enough to commit yet.

Abacus · 07-30-2009, 01:46 AM

Dude, I went from computers, to art, to accounting, to law, to interior decor, to journalism, and have now landed on visual merch... And I doubt that I'm going to be settled on this one thing for the rest of my life.

I used to be so dead-set on journalism, that I even got an internship at my local newspaper and got published several times. And now... all of that is useless.

I am sooo indecisive about my future, it's ridiculous. The one plus is that I know how to do a little bit of everything in life now.
