I know I definitely am! Yeah it does kinda feel like he's bored in one sense, but there also seems a little more to it as well. The random bringing up our hols was confusing.



I'd love you to be right, but I don't want to get any of my hopes up... yet. You're right, I should take it slow and steady and see what happens. I'm just unsure how he wants things to progress now as before, friends certainly wasn't on the agenda and now he's wanting to talk.

I just got a happy new year txt off him there, ending in "lots of love xx". I guess that's just a generic txt maybe to all his mates? But sending that to me doesn't feel right. Oh lord, I'm thinking way too much in to it all. I just want to know where we stand and how to act with him now.

Oh and I might as well join the ranks and add my ugly mug :P This is going to be weird.

Happy new year everyone!

Don't think too much. I learned that the hard way.

So many cute faces on here ^__^
 
It's a New Year's resolution of mine to post more often on GAF (I think I've been doing pretty good, lately) so I just wanted to say "hi" to everyone in this thread. <3

No relationship drama or anything like that to report, though. That...should probably be another resolution. I wanna join in on the Real Pic January thing, too, but I'm not sure yet.

I've been playing Bulletstorm recently, and I actually just reached the area in those pics. Hilarious conversation, and I'm glad they didn't say anything offensive like dude bro games are inclined to do.

I hope that they continue with the bromance dialog.
I played it not too long ago in a rush to get through a bunch of 2011 games and ended up liking it wayyy more than I expected to. I loved that bit in the elevator. It's even better because, not too long after, Grayson makes a comment about all sarcasm stemming from some grain of truth. I feel like I'm really desensitized, though, because I barely noticed in any of the language or innuendo that people kept talking about.

I'm actually running through Gears 3 at the moment and am happy to see Marcus looking less like a monster this time around, too. I swear, I can't play a shooter anymore without getting distracted. At the very least, I don't think that problem can get any worse than it was with Resident Evil 5 unless Chris Redfield stars in another game.
 
The year turned 2012 four hours ago here.

You know I've been out of the closet for a loong time but there's this one childhood friend I've never talked about it. He's just not the kind of guy that you'd talk about relationships and stuff. Anyway I spent the new year's eve with him since I'm visiting my parents and he was in town too. We got drunk, I told him I'm gay and he took it really well (as I kinda expected because he's a nice guy).

I don't know why but I've rarely felt so good about coming out to someone. Maybe it's because I've known him since 2nd grade or because now I've finally told pretty much everyone.

The year is off to a good start.
 
Electroplankton, is homosexuality really that controversial in Italy? I'm asking because our prime minister is Italian and openly gay and no one in my country gives a fuck.

Well, it's really complicated.
I may say that living in a fairly big city of the North of Italy can distorce the perception of how homosexuality is viewed in the country as a whole. And also the people I have chosen to hang around with may not represent the way of thinking of Italian people.
The fact is that homosexuality is still a thing that makes people debate; a lot of people, in particular the old ones but also young people of some political orientation (the Northern League, right-wing) or in the South or again in small towns and obviously the vast majority of religious, think that homosexuality is something bad, that should be banned, against nature and the like. Almost every week a politician (from the parliament, or from a municipality or from a regional government) say something against gay people.
Italy is really behind for what concerns this topic; we don't have neither same-sex marriage nor any other same-sex legal recognition, but the problem is that there is no even a discussion about that in the parliament; nor a law that protect us from being harassed just because homosexual (something that the EU is not so proud of since it always reminds our government to catch up the other members in this sense).
Mass media usually represent homosexuality as something special, so gay people cannot be normal but over-the-top, feminine, colourful, excessive; on the contrary, straight men must be macho and masculine, and this thing is well reflected in all reality shows we have (I don't watch them but I keep updated in any case), since every single sign of homosexuality is deleted from the show (it happened for a reality show like American Idol) while Big Brother is full of boys looking for a prey to catch, obviously a girl. Television spread this picture of homosexuality and heterosexuality and this is pretty sad.
It's very long, but yes, I can say that homosexuality is controversial in Italy.
 
Anyway,
to not be too much off topic, it'd be nice to have a suggestion from you about my personal crush. Since it's a tricky situation, it's difficult to talk with other people, also because in the last two years I've been very busy from an academic point of view. Well, I think I love my professor. The one with whom I'm writing the thesis. The fact is that I'm often in his office, and we're starting to have a more informal relationship, and it grows in me. I mean, he's really, really handsome, and he's also smart. But he's nice with me -I think he must be nice with everyone though- and I think he likes me -probably as a son, ah ah- but I have to spend at least 6 months further because of the project we're working. Did someone here have a situation like this in the past? Or even nowadays :P
I had a huge crush on a professor. It's better to not think about it because, when the time comes, you'll never see him again.
 
Damn I feel so depressed, why? :/

Attempt bare awareness of your feelings. Don't compartmentalize them, judge them, or place them in a category, but just experience them objectively or impartially in the moment like a scientist looking through a microscope. Even if the source doesn't emerge, it will make it seem less negative. Experience is in a constant state of change and everything is transient, so the profound grasping of sanity or peace is done more by staying with the only thing that really exists: the present moment, where we really are right now.
 
I got a question for you guys, is it weird that despite being more than old enough I don't alcohol at all? Several people over the past month have all said I was weird or boring for not drinking. I really don't feel like i'm missing something, but even my last date found it to be a turnoff.

My man, a bottle of champagne, leather cuffs and a blindfold.

Happy New Year!

Sounds like fun.

I'm probably biased, but I don't think it's weird. I don't drink, either; though it's funny when my sister and her friends always want me to drink with them/go out with them.

It's up to you. I didn't used to drink until about two years ago but rarely do it unless with friends or during special occasions. My spelling is oddly correct though as I'm a lightweight and don't drink much but I end up saying silly stuff.

Don't be sad dudes. You will find someone sooner or later. Guess I better retire to bed before I spout more nonsense.
 
Happy New Year! I slept through watching the ball drop. Yay for a hearing all the neighborhood dogs barking at people letting loose all kinds of fire-things to get me up sorta in time. :(

No, I'm the same way. I'd much rather partake in other substances. Just not a fan of alcohol. Socially, the only drinks I like are ones where I can't taste it.

Well begining this year like all the others past, alone.
Nevermind. I remembered what the alcohol was for. :lol

Same here on both counts. I'm enjoying the game far more than I thought I would, and the explicit language is no where near where I thought it would be.

Just beat Bulletstorm :D So good.

I'm almost there. I'm in the beginning of chapter 6, so I'll probably finish it tomorrow. Did you get all of the skillshots? I don't think I will. There are just too many, and when I'm playing I forget which ones I need to do. :/

I don't know, but we can be depressed together!

You look bored in your avatar. :p

I don't drink, however. I'm not interested in doing so.

Happy Last Year, GayGAF! Will put up an picture as my avatar soon enough.
I like the five o'clock shadow you've got.

I think I got around half or more. There are a lot, yeah; sometimes they're hard to do because you're used to doing certain kills, or just want to have fun spiking someone to a wall :P

Also: dat sniper rifle. Fucking love that thing and the final weapon. What are you playing it on? System-wise.

Same here, in fact my brother was trying to get me to drink with him and GF at their party tonight. Whats funny is he is younger then me.


My boyfriend and I both don't drink. Why should you feel strange that you don't?

I'm the only one out of my family and friends that does't drink. My date from last night was downright uncomfortable that I didn't drink. I have no idea why, we weren't at a bar or anything. He just thought it was really weird and kept mentioning it.


You look bored in your avatar. :P
I'm always in a state of boredom. :P
 
Well I just had a good long cry and talked to the guy I'm possibly meeting tomorrow about how I feel and shit. Now I have my drink and I'm feeling better.

I really only have two battle strategies:

Run into a room and leash any/every enemy into spikes/cactus/electricity

or

Leash - Kick - Headshot.

I'm still having a blast, however. The sniper rifle is really cool, too. I love curving the bullet upwards at the last second to score a headshot. feelsgoodman.jpg. I can never get them in the balls though. Their legs are always in the way, and it doesn't register from behind, so I guess none of the enemies are low danglers? lol

I'm playing on PS3, although because I'm borrowing the game from a friend, I don't have the stupid online pass in order to play online. :/

Omg, fck that sniper rifle. It hated me. That one part I went through every bit of ammo and only had 2 bullets left because all the enemies thought they were Bayonetta or something. I didn't get to play around with the other weapon you're talking about too much either because I felt naked without the Boneduster and the Screamer. Fireworks all day, seriously.

Damn! You're handsome!
I love your new picture. :D

edit:

Nooo, you're missing my trusty "unload a hailstorm of bullets (ohoho a bullet storm) while sliding full speed at every enemy I see to send dat swiss cheese flying" method. :P
