Throw on Your Best Cardigan and Celebrate Fall 2011 with the Gays of ILX

also the HWP thing is so dumb it makes me ill. distribution of weight is SO much about individual body type that it should have no bearing in these sorts of matters.

i met a half japanese boy one time who was like, v v hot. just to spin this on its head for a minute -- i was looking through japanese vogue? and a LOT of the boys in there were either white or japanese men who looked very white

fashion mags in making everyone a white person shocker

altho usually they try and make white ppl look asian, so maybe they are on to something new

I also don't care for no fats, no femmes

At what point do age limits enter the picture, and is that different? This made-to-order stuff, all of it, just closes ppl off from a specific individual who might deviate from their little cafeteria boundaries. "OMG, I thought my age limit was 35, and this 44yo gave me the fuck of my life," etc.

i have this book of plastic surgery and in it, it has a lot of examples of people of asian descent getting surgery on their eyes to look whiter

can u imag?

does the "no asians" thing include the indian and pakistani dudes? filipinos? i find that super weird.

cf. also bollywood

"i'm only into dudes whose first names are also the names of cities"

should i have pizza right now y/n

(i already had sweet potato fries)

what sort of pizza?

"vegetable"

We had our 'health fair' at work today, and my weight and bad cholesterol just keeps going up. SO, PIZZA!

ook not touchin it. thanks!

ha

i'm having "breathe deep" tea instead

At what point do age limits enter the picture, and is that different?

I forgot about that one. Also annoying at times, though maybe a different in some way? I am not going to think too poorly of a 19 year old who sets a boundary of 26 or a 55 year old who sets a lower one of 40. But for every instance of what I consider reasonable expressions of preference, there are tons of ageist jerks, even ones for whom their own age is too old.

i want to hook up with a 40 yr old really soon

Gimme four years, surm.

it's a date!!

yay! I'm that chick indeed.

i think i'm going thru my summer late this year. i feel very ... antsy ! ! ! !

hmmmm, I feel lazy rather than antsy during summer.

hey so I thought I'd share -- I've been out to my mom for a few years but my sexuality & my boyfriend have been pretty much forbidden topics of conversation around her super-conservative catholic husband and my younger bros. i went along with it for a time, mostly out of fear & uncertainty about what his reaction would be & whether he would prohibit me from having a relationship with my mom & brothers, since he's a sanctimonious controlling prick

but I've been in therapy for a little while and finally mustered the self respect & courage to directly address the situation, saying what a burden secrecy is & how hurtful it is for me to have to keep the man I love a secret for their convenience. this was all in an email I wrote last weekend, and I've talked to my mom once since. she was upset and anxious about what this means going forward, but it's necessary for me and the only way to demonstrate my respect & commitment to my relationship with D.

the situation is evolving & idk where I'll end up with my mom & her husband & their kids, but it's a step -- one that I feel really good about taking

helllllllllll yeah!

that sounds like a great first step! proud of you :)

Way to go, elmo!

Good job!

yah, rad, elmo!!!!

also, just felt my first earthquake in Cali, though i've definitely been here for more than a few. twas tiny. just felt like a truck hit my house or something.

maybe it was elmo's courage pulsating thru

4.8 on the self-actualization scale!

lol

it was a 3.9, epicenter pretty much right under the Berkeley campus.

GOD HATES ACADEMIA

anyone have any opinions on portland, or?

WHITE PEOPLE

i think i think it's ok. less provincial than salt lake but not exactly a big city. bf really likes it too.

xp yeah seriously :\

that's my one complaint, no diversity. might even be worse than salt lake?

it's a nice place, actually. but any place that's 74% white people just gives me the heebie-jeebies a bit, i grew up in philadelphia.

i had fun last weekend though. people danced, at a club, to house music. there was even a black person there.

about the same, tbf.

Oh, I meant to mention to Eric and T, I took my first climbing lesson! It was incredible! And really challenging. I hadn't done a lick of weight or resistance exercise since I moved in July, and no running for over a month, so it wiped me the fuck out. I've been back at the gym, and I can't wait to have a little more endurance in my forearms next time.

It felt weird and unnatural the first time I let go of the wall at about 20 feet up. My brain deadlocked with itself trying to force me to let go or hang on. My forearms broke the impasse.

bravo, elmo <3

I lifted my (old tube) TV tonight.

Very friendly Eagle crowd in Portland. Saw a nice gal-on-guy flogging there.

I saw that you'd started from a FB post, J3ss3. I thought I'd liked it, but I dunno with the new FB layout. Things slip by me so easily.

I love watching newbie climbers get past that first "let go" moment. I also like watching them totally worn out from the first few climbs. I forget what it felt like to feel like total jelly and not to even be able to land on my feet. I sometimes miss that feeling.

Eric, the Gotham nominations are out, so, detrius.

Thought NRQ would do the honors this year.

Plus, what fresh hell is it that NYFCC moved their year-enders by three weeks?

2 weeks, I think. Very prez-race circuslike.

Has nrqy mayne even posted lately?

Not sure, I haven't trolled many of the movie threads in the last few months.
