Oh I know not ALL organized religion is like that. Thats a massive generalization. I was particularly hinting at most of the churches near me, including where my dad works.

I mean, its gotta be pretty bad if you would consider hitting your son because he chose to take part in a paying performance rather than running around in circles at 6:30 in the morning.

If he does hit you, call Child Services.

gee thanks for the tip




Alright. Now that the subject has been beaten to death, can we please move on?

[insomniak]

Posted: 1/18/05 at 11:52pm

For now, yes, but we will straighten you out (not like that) later,

[OneBlazeOfGlory]

Posted: 1/18/05 at 11:56pm

when is 'later' so I can make sure I have plans that will keep me from the computer at that time?

[insomniak]

'Later' is when neither of us is in a snarky, icky mood and when we can actually talk about this.

Not trying to wedge my fat ass into the middle of this, but Som's trying to help. It's an icky dose of unwanted medicine, but give it a chance.

It's just like cough syrup- like hell going down, but makes you feel a lot better overall.

And take it from someone who's taken tough love *nods to Miss Tiff*, it's a good thing.

*pats Som's head* And now Som's paying it forward. And good, too.

You don't understand the half of it. Either of you. I'm really trying to be polite and cooperative and you've given me no reason not to be. You aren't doing anything wrong, its me. Sorry I'm coming off so stubborn and rude today.

I've barely skimmed the surface with what all I've posted here, and I don't want to drag people any further into my life because then I'd feel guilty. Its not random people from a broadway message board's duty to make sure I straighten out my life. It gets even more complicated and I'd rather not discuss it on the boards.

Please, just take my word for it or talk to me over PMs or IM but not here and not now.

Ok, I can play this way.

Kyle, you don't know what we don't know and we don't live your life. We're doing the F*CKing best we can here and the only reason we 'only know half of it' is because that's all you'll tell us. If you want more sympathy and tears, then you tell it all. This is just what I did a while back and it's not fair to everyone else. Don't give us the line about not wanting us to feel guilty, if we ask, it's because we want to hear and there is no reason for you not to say other than that you want to extract all the tears you can. If you REALLY did not want to 'burden' us, then you wouldn't say anything at all. You are being rude and stubborn and maybe we aren't being sensitive enough and I know as well as anyone that the 'you'll thank me later!' thing is frustrating, but what would you do? I refuse to spoil you in sympathy now, now is the time when I'm going to act like a friend and help you FIX THINGS. It's not my duty, it's my desire as someone who cares about you to try to do everything I can to help you make it through life. Yeah, I don't know what it's like to be bisexual and persecuted for it, but I do know that I've had issues and some of my methods for solving them can carry over to your problems and that is all I, your friend, can do for you.

You don't understand the half of it. Either of you.

I've heard this before. And frankly, if we don't understand the half of it, why don't you enlighten us instead of coming to us with your problems and then holding back once we tell you something you don't want to hear?

I'm really trying to be polite and cooperative and you've given me no reason not to be.

You're right. We haven't. (Mostly referring to Som because she's been more involved with this than I have.)

You aren't doing anything wrong, its me. Sorry I'm coming off so stubborn and rude today.

Well, you are. And I'll bring up what I posted to Som many moons ago. We're here to help, and we're happy to. Just because you're getting advice from a bunch of straight girls doesn't mean we don't know what you're going through. We can relate to you on a certain level, and better yet, we are objective observers. But when you push people away and you take out your anger and frustration on the ones who are trying to help you, you end up alone. Period.

No see this is exactly what I didn't want to happen.

Please don't get angry with me for not wanting to talk about something. I'm not required to explain everything to you, and I definitely didn't mean to sound like I was searching for sympathy. All I want is to just drop it. Please. I don't want to talk about it right now. You're both right, I am wrong. I'm sorry, I really am, but there are some things I can't/won't say. I wasn't getting mad at you for not understanding something I didn't tell you.

[insomniak]

Posted: 1/19/05 at 12:34am

I am and have a right to be angry because of how you treated us. As for dropping it, I can't do it, not in good conscience. I'll let this alone tonight because I'm leaving soon, but I won't let you go around miserable. Updated On: 1/19/05 at 12:34 AM

Boy, doesn't this look familiar.

Why don't you kids all go cool off?

I'm a cucumber. I'm not angry or even remotely worked up about this (I haven't been as involved with this as Som has, and it's her battle more than mine--I've just been sticking up for her), but I'll call it like I see it.

Now what on earth 8===O are you referring to?

[OneBlazeOfGlory]

Posted: 1/19/05 at 12:49am

LOOK I REALLY AM SORRY FOR WHATEVER IT IS I DID TO YOU BUT I DONT UNDERSTAND WHY YOU ARE MAD AT ME FOR WANTING TO KEEP CERTAIN THINGS TO MYSELF FOR ONCE INSTEAD OF POSTING THEM ON A F*CKING PUBLIC MESSAGE BOARD!

What is it that I can do to make it up to you? I've already agreed with the fact that you're right, and I'm wrong. I've apologized and that seems to mean nothing to you either. I don't want you to be mad at me. Tell me how I can fix this. I'm doing the best I can okay? I'm sorry.




Goodnight

Well, for one thing, you can stop USING CAPS LOCK BECAUSE IT IMPLIES THAT YOU'RE YELLING AT US.

For another, don't EVER swear at me again. EVER.

Next, you don't have to make anything up to me. Like I said, I'm not mad at you. (Well, not up until that YELLY McYELLING POST. And for THAT, we're owed an apology.) However, you seem to be misunderstood about a couple of things. For one, if you're not comfortable posting everything on a message board, that's your perogative, and it's understandable. What our problem is when you come on here looking for advice and/or support, and then when you receive it in spades, you pull the "None of you know what I'm talking about" card and retreat, which is a load of bitchy drama queen crap. Again, we're willing to listen. But don't EVER take out your anger on us and expect us to take it sitting down. If you don't want to talk about it with us, that's fine. Sometimes "real people" work better than online ones. But we're NOT your punching bags either.

That's all we're saying. End of story.

Next!
