The way I look at it is that it's not a murder...it's a very late abortion.

Not unlike almost anyone there is most probably too much that I should care to input here. At a glance: I am a gay guy in my mid-twenties. I am severely spastic. IQ-wise I fluctuate from occupying a range just barely below "genius" levels, I am insanely neurotic, and I am a scorpio-libra cusp (Oct. 25th 1982). What does that mean? It means that you don't want to mess with ANY of this shit! TRUST!
What Bleach Character Are You?
Hosted by theOtaku.com: Anime . Done right.
Though of above average intelligence, I have observed that I tend to let it be easily overcome by my base vices and habits. I do not apply myself well at all. I should exercise, but instead rely upon my unpredictable metabolism and occasional loss of appetite to maintain a height-weight proportion that is manageable. Though I would like to claim that "pilates are really all I do these days since I can do them in my own room without having to worry about gorgeous people from the gym looking (or not looking) at me", I have observed that I currently engage in the least amount of physical activity since I began walking. I do, however, find myself to be rather maneuverable, and enjoy navigating crowds much in the same manner in which I drive my 2001 Yellow VW Beetle.
I'm an excellent drunk driver and have nothing against people who use drugs for recreation. Though a RENOWNED hypocrite, I feel that I shouldn't take umbrage against such crowds, as I have - on occasion - partaken in such sordid activities myself. Of course, if one cannot function in one's life due to one's own recreational activities then one feels one must insist upon distance oneself, or one might fall prey to yet another vice.
Academia? Long story -short. I went to a Magnet Program in high school and learned a lot and was full of myself. I graduated one day and immediately went to UT - Austin. I started to burn out despite my vast wealth of trivia knowledge (which now included several subjects more at intro. levels), and learned to drink and stay out all night. A [so far, "the only"] boyfriend came and went over 8 months, subsequently leading to the discovery of the healing properties of ABBA. I had made a lot of girl friends in the dorms, and upon moving off-campus, somehow dropped them for a fresh, new batch of my first gay friends. YAY! Enter: 4th Street gay bars and CIRCUIT PARTIES!
I live in Houston due to UT finally getting sick of me and handing me an academic dismissal. Though it was my dream to return to Austin, I have come to accept that I cannot move there...at least, not just yet. In the interim I have taken several basic course requirements for any degree at San Jacinto Community College near my home. In addition, I have been employed in the Museum Membership Department of the world-renowned Museum of Fine Arts, Houston. I enjoy working there, and I enjoy the people I work with immensely. I'm relieved that my job represents excellent résumé padding to use towards a higher-paying desk job in the future, despite the nonprofit-sized paychecks that part-time employees get. My two bosses and a former are the femmes of my Top 8.
I turn over new leaves often, but I tear right through them. About the astrological signs: I exhibit signs of every trait that the little zodiac sign magnet I bought from some gay store for my minifridge claims that I am: volatile, obsessive, suspicious (but more cautious), moody, shrewd (rarely, but never absolutely), demanding and jealous (not as badly as I was before, but I never notice until it is too late), brooding, compulsive, intense, overbearing (in that annoying way), hot-tempered (mainly with my father), cunning (I try), lustful (really, I personify each of the seven deadly sins better than the Homunculi from Full Metal Alchemist), impenetrable (apparently not), and secretive. Feel free to close this window now and forget you ever saw me.
I am a young, gay democrat in Texas. I admit this. East Coast democrats would consider me a conservative, but here I am a FLAMING liberal. I live with my father, who is a bigot, is stubborn as I am, and is a steadfast Republican (who amazingly still loves and accepts me as his gay son). I also admit that I sometimes hate this country, though not any more than I would hate any general country - I dislike all people equally until someone tips the balance in stupidity or intelligence. I live here and was born here; I don't have to love it. Should you suggest I leave, please first consider this: Would you demand a Chinaman leave China for hating his country? How preposterous! Complaining and running away aren't the answer (despite the degree to which I practice both!). America is nothing but a bunch of big ideals and stories and people dying. The man who wrote our national anthem clearly knew what he was doing in deliberately setting the word "free" to a note so high no one could reach it.
Finally, my borrowed thoughts on Heaven:It is a massive city overgrown with flowering weeds. On every corner there is a wrecking crew demolishing the unchanging; something new and crooked being erected catty-cornered to that. Windows are missing in every edifice like broken teeth. There are fierce gusts of gritty wind, and a gray high sky full of ravens (the prophet birds). There are piles of trash, but lapidary - like rubies and obsidian, and diamond-colored streamers in the wind...And voting booths. Everyone is dressed straight out of the spreads of Vogue and GQ, with red corsages - going to the big dance palaces full of music and lights. There's racial impurity, gender confusion, and liberty above both and all. Race, religion, and history are finally overcome...

I'd like to meet:

"Hooking-up with strangers can be difficult. That's why it's much easier to begin by joining a social networking site. Start with close friends. Be sure to peruse their profiles for data that indicates their [sexual] interests and whereabouts."

Please, no more ironed-haired, bleached, spray-tanned, caked-eyeliner wearing, randomly-and-distatefully pierced, Joan Rivers/Kojo lookalikes. Too many young gay men these days (mainly from Dallas, Houston, and Los Angeles) are prematurely aging right before our very eyes! No matter how big your Ray Ban and Chanel knockoffs are, you're not going to look very intelligent when its obvious that you're spending Mommy's/your dealer's/your sugar daddy's money, and not your own.
Turn down your polo collars, put on some men's jeans (they make them in womens' cuts now, ya know!), throw away your pooka shell necklaces/bracelets/ankle bracelets/cockrings, boycott Abercrombie adults wearing Abercrombie Kids/A&F Girls, and dye your hair back to its original color!
If you're a blond, be a blond and not a blonde. I noticed that in all thirty-six pages of DFW myspace fags, there were about three hot ones (except for the attractive older guys). The rest were waifish, faux-blonde, burnt-to-a-crisp twinks.
And y'all wonder why you always have to bottom and why you're always screwing around in your own pool of friends (honestly, who else would have you?). By the way - crystal meth, coke, and ketamine stunt your growth - I knew there was a reason why most of the "bois" in Houston and Dallas were under 5'11". As for me, I was tall BEFORE the drugs! Austin and San Antonio have their excuses: good/bad breeding habits.
"OMG," you say? How about, "OMGay"?

Once I had a secret love
that lived within the heart of me.
All too soon my secret love
became impatient to be free.
So I told a friendly star,
the way that dreamers often do,
just how wonderful you are
and why I'm so in love with you.

Now I shout it from the highest hills;
even told the golden daffodils.
At last my heart's an open door
and my secret love's no secret anymore.
