The Teddy Absolution Thread

[TeddyPicker]

Remember when I used to be a fucking smoking hot institution of these forums?

Remember when I used to bring absolute debauchery to the April 15th events? I'm still sorry to the group that shared an Air BnB the year I fucked Danny silly.

I remember her....vaguely.

First off, yeah, yeah yeah, 29 years old, queer, 34DDD. 2 glasses of wine and a couple of shots of gin in the last 2 hours.

So I got a boyfriend. So FUCKING what?! I have been involved with KATG since I was 16 years old, so I was either dating someone from the community or they had to fucking deal with the community if they were going to be with me.

But then....I made some grown-up decisions. I decided I wanted to pursue a PhD and the only way I was going to stay sane was to settle down with someone. And, one in a fucking million, I picked a perfect guy. I finally picked the guy who believed in me, supported me, and who I could make a real family with. But in exchange he asked for one thing - I had to give up you guys.

When we first started dating, I would start to tell stories about my KATG community. Funny moments from weekends in New York together, other moments from chat parties. He would shudder and balk - this wasn't the person he was getting to know. I had to leave this behind so I could fully be with him. We all make compromises. We all round up from 0. And jesus christ I thought, if this was all he was asking for, then I could make concessions, I could make due without it.

It's been 5 years. God that passed quickly. I missed so much. I deliberately excluded myself from so much. This community RAISED ME. I was a nothing idiot at a boarding school in rural England. Keith and the Girl (the show and the community) made me into a human being.

All of this gin-soaked ranting is to say, I'm sorry. I'm sorry I've been out. I've taken myself out and you have every right not to take me back. And there are specific people I'm talking to here. People who I have held in real life and who have held me in the deepest parts of my life.

I am Keith and the Girl people. Fuck the posers, I was here in 2008. If you don't know who Mikey is, don't even @ me - every single time I look at my tattoo I know that. And I am finished ignoring that.

Like back in the way where it's been 5 years and I've been able to see that the grass isn't greener on the other side.

And BOY do I remember meeting you at the first London meetup and Junedon.

We did meet briefly at the London show.

I was with my girlfriend at the time who turned out to be my wife. Who then became my ex wife.

Time goes by, life changes ALOT but KATG is always there, we family here!

Welcome back

I don't like him.

Hell yeah. TeddyPicker really was a fucking smoking hot institution of these forums. I miss those days, the way the forums were. Lots more discussions going on for me to pop in and argue with people. I hope you stick around, TeddyPicker, and then I hope the forums concocts another excuse for you to post yourself naked on here.

For anybody who wasn't here, goddamn she's crazy hot.

Also the fact that it's been 5 years makes me feel old as fuck.
