LGBTitp - Part Seven

[Jacklu]

She is, but good luck booking her.

[Lix Lorn]

So, any interesting events coming up this summer for anyone?

In August I talk to my doctor, and after my bday in September, I get a fancy specialist psyche person. Whoooo.

[Derjuin]

In August I'm going to GenCon to meet with Jacklu

That is, if my next paycheck puts me up to enough money to buy tickets and everything.

[Lioness]

So a friend of mine has decided to take the fact that I prefer sausages and tacos equally as definitive "proof" that I'm bi.

Why can't food just be food!?

And because he treats it so negatively that I'm not actually going to start up a whole "so what if I am? How does that change the fact that I'm currently in a very committed relationship with a guy? I'm not randomly going to start going out and picking people up because I'm bi." rant.

*headdesk*

Your friend's name might be Sigmund. Stop associating with him.

[Lioness]

Ahahaha. That made my day.

On the plus side, I've had a rant to a gay friend, and I've talked to Mr Sigmund about his views. I think I'm slowly getting to him

Solution:

1. Find a female friend and make sure the three of you end up at a fast food place.
2. Both your female friend and you order a slushie, one red, one blue.
3. Start to drink it, slowly and delicately.
4. Turn to each other and start to get closer. Make some seductive noises.
5. Move in for a girl on girl kiss.
6. At the last moment, stop. Turn to Mr Sigmund, say "In your dreams" and pour the slushies on his head.
7. Problem solved.

Hmmm...can't see that happening. Though I'd love to pour a slushie on his head

Because life doesn't work that way? And thinking of people as food or merely sexual puppets will lead to friction in the long run, if that's how you truly feel.

What's so horrible about being bi anyway? You were already saying you were coming to terms with this possibility over a month ago.

And because he treats it so negatively that I'm not actually going to start up a whole "so what if I am? How does that change the fact that I'm currently in a very committed relationship with a guy? I'm not randomly going to start going out and picking people up because I'm bi." rant.

So, why did you let him get away with calling you a whore? And why do you feel bad? I mean, he just sorta did that whole thing where he proved himself not worth your time by calling you a whore.

... you're not serious, are you ?

[Coidzor]

Wait, what? There's something here I'm missing, isn't there?

[Quincunx]

Ok, what's today's misunderstanding and/or misinterpretation of a post leading to outrage on Murdim's part? Coidzor didn't bother to identify that he may or may not agree with the state of mind of 'Sigmund'?

[Lyesmith]

... you're not serious, are you ?

People as solely food has gotten me in plenty of trouble over the years.
Sexual puppetry I can't really comment on, mind.

[Pinnacle]

It may also lead to biting. A bad kind.


Oh, and hey Serpentine: There was an old man walking around at the street fair here over the weekend in a skirt. I only noticed like two people gawking at him.

[Pyrian]

I'm usually content with nibbling. Still, maybe I should re-think my "You Are Crunchy and Taste Good With Ketchup" pin for my dragon costume.

BIG MEANIES !

Now I'm going to sulk until... well actually, until I get tired of it.

Well, heSigmund did call Lioness a whore. And I told her she shouldn't feel bad about it as heHerr Freud can't be very worthwhile if he'dDr. Sigmund Freud would go and do a thing like that.



Edit: I hate my internets sometimes.

[Lyesmith]

I'm assuming that this Freud Dude was not accusing her of being a whore in a joking manner? I mean, from the way it sounded it was hardly freindly japes.

Yes, I am suggesting she cut her dealings with him. By whatever means necessary or to her liking. I favor broadsword, but needles are also a perennial favorite.

As is just defriending the jerk from facebook.

Well, as far as I know, Lioness didn't exactly say he called her a whore, just that he talked negatively about her bisexuality that he supposedly guessed from her alimentary habits. Maybe he really thinks she's straight, joked about the "sausages and tacos" part, and thought that calling her a dirty, slutty, greedy bisexual she-dog was a good way to facetiously taunt her. Maybe he just didn't realise that, joke aside, Lioness could very well be bisexual, and that his use of an acceptable target could very well backfire.

Anyway, unless he's someone who is dear to her for one reason or the other, I'd say that Lioness has a better time simply avoiding him - unless he tries to apologise, which isn't very likely given the ambiguous circumstances. On the other hand, if she feels the courage and/or the need to do so, she could come out to him, so that everyone gets the things straight.

[Pinnacle]

[S]he could come out to him, so that everyone gets the things straight.

That sounds... counter-intuitive.

That's pretty much it, but it was less sinister, and more "Hah. That food thing you said...it means you're bisexual." Implication was "So, you probably shouldn't have said it. What will your BF think?"

Everything's pretty much resolved now. I had a big talk with him over why he thinks that's a bad thing. And sorry, but I feel strongly about this, because I hang around with a lot of LGBT people. Cue the "What does LGBT stand for?", which eventually came to, "well, I'm cool with all of them except gay". I asked him why, and he just said he can't understand why they don't like girls.

So it's sheer narrow-mindedness on his part, not malice. I eventually got him to realise that being bi is no big deal...I like guys. I also like girls - they're soft and have boobs. Everyone likes boobs!*

So yeah, no need to stop contact with him or anything. He's in my gaming group, so it could potentially get awkward.


*disclaimer: I realise that not everyone likes boobs, but it seemed to work on him

[Drolyt]

I just have one question: sausages and tacos? I mean really, why do people feel compelled to associate every object everywhere with something sexual?

[golentan]

I just have one question: sausages and tacos? I mean really, why do people feel compelled to associate every object everywhere with something sexual.

Why do people feel the need to make every object everywhere so that it can be construed in a sexual manner?

Lionness: I believe the proper response to his gay comment is "So, I suppose that make straight women hard to deal with too, huh?" If you can't see how someone would like guys, it is an interesting question...

[Drolyt]

Why do people feel the need to make every object everywhere so that it can be construed in a sexual manner?

Uh, often it is simply practical. How the hell would you shape a taco? As for sausages... I wonder why are they shaped that way? Huh.

[Coidzor]

Uh, often it is simply practical. How the hell would you shape a taco? As for sausages... I wonder why are they shaped that way? Huh.

Because that's the way intestines are shaped if you tie off the ends of small segments of them.

Apparently intestine is phallic. Who'd've thunk it.

I feel like you may have slightly shot yourself in the foot there.

[Serpentine]

Looks like it's been resolved, but it was my understanding that Lioness was solely talking about food, and he associated the foods with their respective phallic- and yonnicness.

Oh, and hey Serpentine: There was an old man walking around at the street fair here over the weekend in a skirt. I only noticed like two people gawking at him.

Awesome. What sort?

[Pyrian]

I just have one question: sausages and tacos? I mean really, why do people feel compelled to associate every object everywhere with something sexual?

While it's true that people will associate anything with sex, sausages and tacos are the foremost fundamentally sex-organ-associated foods. I mean, there's also melons and nuts (or, in Spanish, eggs), but those are secondary.
