Members SFK Posted August 20, 2013 Members Share Posted August 20, 2013 Ha, don't worry boy, you know we love and trust you! Brings back memories though. Once upon a time when you had to pay for the Internet, I remember how much more chat-based AOL and Prodigy were. There weren't as many websites to visit so the net was more about interacting with other people. I can't remember the last time I was in a chat room or got a random IM from a person who saw that we went to the same college in my profile or whatever. WoST had a good chatroom and SON should follow suit. I think it would make for fewer and less crowded threads, but that's another subject. Speaking of random IM's, I work in theatre and I was in a rehearsal the other day when a colleague's phone kept dinging every five minutes because of that Grinder app. Live your life, but it was so smarmy. I actually learned about it when I went to a play with a friend who brought his friend. I also had a friend in the show. The FOMF asked if my FITS was gay. I said I'm not sure. He whips out his phone and sure enough... I was like, "What the hell is that!? Lorrrd..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bright Eyes Posted August 20, 2013 Members Share Posted August 20, 2013 That was the first time you'd ever heard of Grindr (No e)? A bit slow on the uptake, mate! And what the f*ck are those abbreviations? For someone in the theatre ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted August 20, 2013 Members Share Posted August 20, 2013 I didn't feel like typing "friend of my friend" and "friend in the show" all over again and I hoped to make the sentence less confusing, but I guess I failed on both counts.

Members All My Shadows Posted August 21, 2013 Members Share Posted August 21, 2013 Grindr is a HOT MESS. My gay friends use it mainly to satisfy desperate sexual urges, which, in and of itself, is pretty gross to me, but I had a profile on it for like twenty minutes, and I got like 10 notifications. Y'all, I live in the country, among bayous and cane fields. It's too easy for any of those guys to find me in real life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mr. Vixen Posted August 21, 2013 Members Share Posted August 21, 2013 Can I be shaking my head from the balcony, where I was secretly watching the whole thing? And before the fade to black can I smile an evil smile, revealing that I secretly orchestrated for AMS' lies to come out as to ruin y'alls relationship?

Members SFK Posted August 21, 2013 Members Share Posted August 21, 2013 YES, Mr. Vixen, YES. Bright Eyes, the Grindr discovery incident was almost 2 years ago, so I'm not that far behind. I do not hook up with dudes, but I adore my gay relatives and friends who do. I just think that random hooking up, gay, straight, or anything in between, is dangerous, frightening, and skeeve. Lately, I've been looking for a second job on Craigslist and under "gigs" for an actor like me, I mostly see postings by men who want to breast feed or rim random girls, or have them star in their X-rated amateur films. I'm as kinky as the next guy, but to try to engage in such behaviour with strangers is really troublesome to me. As my pastor used to say, "There's stuff out there that penicillin can't cure! Govern yourselves accordingly." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Nate4 Posted October 26, 2014 Members Share Posted October 26, 2014 Bumping up the thread again. This isn't dirty or a big deal, but no one in my real life expect a few friends know!that im (most likely) an atheist. I will pray in public situations out of respect for my family and friends. And I live in a conservative area so I know I'd get loads of hate. Just felt like sharing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AlexElizabeth Posted October 26, 2014 Members Share Posted October 26, 2014 LOL, I feel ya. I'm an atheist, always have been. I live in an extremely religious little town full of churches and hardcore Christians. One of the first things people ask here when they meet you is what church you go to. I ALWAYS get major side eye when I say I don't go. If somebody asks I'll tell them I'm an atheist, but I don't go around announcing it because the people here think atheists are as bad as rapists and murderers. They'd probably try to perform an exorcism on me. The people in my town are stupid as f-ck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Nate4 Posted October 26, 2014 Members Share Posted October 26, 2014 I swear we live in the same town. Same problems. My dad is a teacher at the high school here, which I go to. Luckily he is popular because everyone knows hes a liberal. I get so many dirty looks in history. My teacher (who I adore) is very conservative and loves to point out I'm a no good liberal, kidding. Some of the rednecks go after me though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted October 26, 2014 Author Members Share Posted October 26, 2014 So the guy I like a lot apparently told me again that he is really into his bf(and we can only be best friends) although he doesnt know I know that his bf moved to California without him. No wonder he was freaking out a few weeks ago. Anyways....he either threw his cell phone in anger or it fell like he said off the kitchen counter so he had to get it replaced and lost all his phone contacts. He was freaking out that he couldn't reach me because he didn't remember my number...um....ok...yeah I am just a bff to you...yeah right...
