LGBT people in the playground - part II

[Tempest Fennac]

I think I'm a 16,16 to be honest. Apart from the fact that I'm not really interrested in being in as relationship, I'm like Lex-kat here.

[Ossian]

"Other" and "same" refer to gender/sex preference, as "lots" and "none" refers to interest in sexual activities. Hetero, homo, bi, asexual and hyper indicate particular sexualities/identities/groups of people.

Uh! Ok, cool. I guess I was actually failing a spot check on the proverbial elephant. So, uh, I guess I fall somewhere in the top right space of the light yellow area, 1st Quadrant (positive Y and positive x).

On the purple color, it IS the color of awesome. There was an entire thread on the WOTC star wars forum dedicated on the "Purple lightsaber Effect" which caused 5 pages of applauding-replies.

In general, having a purple-light aura mans you are just badass in the eleventh dial and people better not mess with you. :)

The truth is stranger than fiction, isn't it?

Okay, let me ask you this, because this question burns me constantly - you'll see the clever pun there momentarily - are people who really flame it up affecting those mannerisms to any degree? My merely superficial exposure to actual flamity flame gay guys leaves me in the dark on that. Because I can flame to high heaven and surprise the **** out of people who know me, but it's a complete act. Based on your experience with these flamity flame queer guys, where does that set of mannerisms come from? Is it an inherent part of being gay, or a learned behavior?

No clue. I was referring to my old boyfriend's friends in my post, and I haven't met the vast majority of them for various reasons. (In fact, the only one I have met was this eighteen-year-old kid who tried to steal him this one time. I was too busy trying to kill him to notice whether or not he was flaming.) All I know about them is what he tells me. Mikha, though, he does put on a gay act sometimes, as a joke, or I don't know what. And I was just poking around his professional website (toxicboy.net if you want to look around, bear in mind he does a lot of nude photography and it's NSFW) and writes himself like a complete Oscar Wilde, which made me roll my eyes so hard they nearly fell out of my skull. (He's not anywhere near that pretentious in real life, guys.)

I think it depends on who he's around. He's a lot more natural/masculine/tough with me and my friend Ilya, who also knows him, but Ilya says that around his gayer friends he acts more gay. Or something.

The only other gays I've met in life have been rough trade. We're all working class or lower class, mostly ethnic - poor Russian immigrants, Chechens, Latinos. Tough as nails. Plus, I haven't really met homosexuals so much as I've met other hustlers, and that's a whole other ball game.

Me, I don't flame at all, I can't even do it as a joke. I can't exactly picture my friends doing it either.

Thus far, every gay person I've encountered (counting myself... two) has a purple aura.
But, I've also encountered people with purple auras who are completley heterosexual.

Did I mention I can perceive auras?
I'm really into the supernatural.
Most superstitious person you'd ever meet, too.

[Tempest Fennac]

That's interresting (I can't see auras, but according to a test I did, I'm Indigo/Crystal, which would explain why I'm so emotinally fragile). Can you read auras over the internet, Collin?

[Collin152]

Not over the internet, no.
It's gotta be in person.

There are exceptions, though. Like, auras can cling to objects, so its possible to see auras without seeign the owner therof.

It makes hallways very... prismatic. So I generally try and avoid looking at auras when I'm walking.
Hmm... there should be a thread for magic.

[Ethrael]

I'm starting to think I may be bisexual. I've always been attracted to girls more than boys (or vice versa), but recently I've been giving both genders equal ogling.
I've definitely got a crush on Best Friend and it's prolly well known that I have a crush on a male forumite here.
The crush on Best Friend isn't one of those platonic ones but one where I feel genuinely happy to see her and actually dress up to go out with her. I also find other girls sexy; same with guys.

Best Friend is almost certainly heterosexual, but I can trust her with my life. Mum well, she calls gay people pffoters. As does all my family. And when I once hinted (actually asked outright) "Hypothetically speaking, would you mind if I was a lesbian or bisexual?" she said, "One day you'll have a boyfriend or husband and you'll give me grandchildren. I don't want a lesbian/bisexual daughter."
And my uncle confided in me today, while he was squiffy at 3 in the afternoon that a lot of the boys I went to secondary school had crushes on me. He works in different places a lot and runs into people I know at school. He also said the same of some very effeminate guys from the same school as me.
So, confusion, worry, the usual stuff. And this is the first pace I've ever mentioned this outside my own head.

I'm terribly at giving advice to take about another three playgrounders' before you take mine, but I would suggest telling Best Friend. Not telling her that you have a crush on her, that my make the blow a bit too strong. Who knows, maybe over time she'll guess or the crush will go away.

About the family aspect, I'm afraid I got nothing there. I don't know how homophobic they are or how you might perceive them. You know them better, as you do Best Friend so in the end it's up to you.

Now, update on the confuddliness: I think I might be more asexual. Either that or the duration of each phase is getting longer. Here in the hot place where I go to the beach every day I'm getting less and less interested in the people I see there, which is surprising since they're in the least amount of clothes legally allowed. It's still a pretty even balance between guys and girls, possibly leaning on the guy side but it's still kinda lacking in enthusiasm.

Oh well, I think it really should just be left for later. I'm kinda terrible with women and haven't tried men so there's not really any way to now for sure...

@^ There really should be a thread for magic. I don't know how the conversation would go though...there are some really hardcore people here I think. I only dabble...

[Collin152]

Yeah, I imagine it would be hard to really get a conversation for it.
Especially without lettign religion get in. The two are always tring to get together.
We divorced you years ago! Magic, you live with me now!
You never loved me!

[Lyesmith]

I am a firm disbeliver, truth be told.
And now i am imagning Colin having an argument with Magic (who looks like a magician with the tophat and tails that rabbits and doves come from) and everyone in the street is watching.

And how am I beign visualised?
Is it the Vincent avatar?
I don't look quite that young.

Hmm... Now I see it too.

[happyturtle]

My dad is a fundy Christian, and my mum has gradually been growing pagan over the last ten to fifteen years. Definitely a weird combo. Somehow they've gotten to a place where they accept the other's beliefs without sharing them.

[Lyesmith]

The avatar is how i am visualising you, sorry.

[Phae Nymna]

I just tried to figure out what Aura I am surrounded by. According to my source, it's magenta.

Just checked out toxicboy.net. I really like the stuff there. REALLY like it.

[Lyesmith]

Magenta. How fabulous.
What's this source, admiral?

ALSO!
Where do I get a blog? I need a place to rant and spew bile.

[CurlyKitGirl]

Ooh!
Go Livjournal.com.
Just 'cos then I could add you as a friend.
And stuff. Besides, it's free and very good.

Ooo, I second Curly.
I also have an LJ. We could be like the cool LJ crew <3

[Lyesmith]

Oh, go on then. There'll probably a lot of bile and hatred, mind.
But, as even while enraged and running on cold fury, I will consider the style and try to make such musing and rantings at least amusing to read.

[Collin152]

I'll believe it when I see it myself.
So clearly, you need to pay Gilbert a visit.


Blogs. Bleh. I'd blog, but my ramblings on magic are hardly worth reading. And it's all I really have to say.

Ok Cupid strikes again! For my own defense, I would like to say that I know that know internet quiz can do as good of a job as a human. THis is what I have to work with, so bear with me.

[Lyesmith]

Eh. I'd just bitch about people and the lamentable state of britan.
Whatever happened to the stiff upper lip, man? it's all oversentimental!
That is basically the gist one one of my rants.
Also.
I expect a suitably bastardy aura from this test, OR I SHALL BE DISPLEASED.

I got Green.
This test is lamentably wrong in some of it's descriptions.
(I am not a workaholic. I'm a lazy goodfornothing.)
However some are i guess mildly accurate. I'mma take a retest.
Also, how is Crystal a colour? it's a rock!

Okay, did again. Got Yellow.
Overall, much more satisfied.
I am *totally* fickle, undisciplined, lazy, irresponsible and a procastinator.
You know what? DAMN. This is basically me to a T! Pretty good work for an overly ambiguous quiz.

[Dihan]

I got Tan... Tan is dull! I disown that test!... Not that I owned it anyway.

[Collin152]

I took the quiz, got Magenta.
Now, in actuality, my aura is a little more blue. Like a nice Lavender.

It's descriptions of me are eerily accurate, until it get's to relationships and school.
Fun? nay.
Dislike structure?
Nay.
I need predictable enviroments, so I can act unpredictably within it with impunity. You know?

[Lyesmith]

Is there an aura that sits in the corner, drinking a bit and taking the piss of all the other aura colours? I'd be that one. Corner-sitting pisstaking is my forté.
(Well not quite. But I can bery easily see myself being that person in a few years time.)

My guess is that you'd be a brown, maybe an orange.
But then, I can't be sure until I see ya.
After all, personality is only one factor.
Shades of Purple, for instance, indicate a higher potential for magic.
That has nothing to do with Pride, or flattery towards a certain Indigo aquaintance of mine.

[Calamity]

My guess is that you'd be a brown, maybe an orange.

Wouldn't orange be a tad too bright to be a 'sit-in-the-corner' colour?

EDIT: I got tan....

[Lyesmith]

I'd be the opposite of indigo, I suppose? Too rational for belief in anything but hard proven evidence.

[Collin152]

Wouldn't orange be a tad too bright to be a 'sit-in-the-corner' colour?

Is it?
Besides, they don't always follow logic.

The opposite of Indigo is some shade of yellow, I believe.
A dark one, I'm sure.

[Lyesmith]

Oh,I got yellow. Total pride at that, btw. it's a cool colour. Got all the best vices.
Lust? Check!
Sloth? Check!
Being a bitch? Check!

It's also got creativity and good vibes. But I am a vice-person! (Albeit with a flair for comedy.)

[Collin152]

Well, what'dya know? You did get the opposite of purple after all.

Come hither, purple-aura'd fellows! Let us breathe life into our art, and bring hence the elder gods!

[Dihan]

My aura is actually brown and has horns.
