That was interesting.
It reaffirms my notions that curly hair is awful, and that Portuguese sounds like drunk Spanish.
You put videos/music in a playlist, and then you DJ or you can just listen to woot or meh songs.

Stay away from Pop GAF.
Oh, sorry, I should I have made that clearer. I was kicked out IMMEDIATELY, like 20 seconds after joining and had done nothing, I hadn't even located the chat window, so I'm not really sure how I was being rude.
D'awwww, beautiful. Thanks for the link, off to learn me some portugese.
But the ridiculous gifs, the drama, the RECEIPTS, the shade.. I find myself attracted to it.

LOL, sorry sis! That was me. I am the REWD one! My video got skipped right after you appeared, so people identified you as the culprit. I had already tried playing that video and had it skipped earlier, not to mention telling the other gurls about how STEAM PRESSED I am today. Your poor, poor newb ass...it stood no chance against my pent up frustration. Sorry gurl, but the "ban" was only for 60 minutes.
Forgive me!
The thing you'll want to do is identify yourself as a GAF member. If you play terrible music and you're some random person in the DJ room, there's a good chance you will get booted. This doesn't happen to GAF members unless there's some dramatic fight going on; if you get kicked during a GAF fight, at least you can spend your hour reading all the tea in the thread. Also, Pop-GAF members all mod each other, so perhaps ask for mod powers. Besides the few powers it gives you, the purple color it makes your name will let others know you roll with GAF.

There's a logout link at the very bottom of the page. I'm playing one of the four songs I have and nobody's there. I feel so lonely.

It was good through and through except the skits and stuff were not as funny as they were in the other games. I was waiting the whole time to finally get to the beach part. Malik and Asbel in swimming outfits was awesome.
Guys how do/did you come out to guy friends? The girls were easy but my best friends it's much harder. They text me asking me what's wrong and what not but I really don't think I can/want to say it in a text but at the same time I have these fears of coming out while drunk with them and me being stuck at their house as they stare and are creeped out by me. I just am tired of this hiding but people you care about and depend on for normalcy is making this so hard.
I never hid, but if they're your friends then there's really nothing to fear. It's not like being open is going to change who you are. If they reject you then they're probably not the kind of person you'd want for friends, no? Next time they ask; give the honest answer.
Hey I hear ya. I sometimes feel the same way, but I only have a few close friends and they're basically who I hang out with when I'm home so it's not as simple as just forgetting them of they don't accept.
But I don't want to whine anymore I was just curious how people have done it. It surely can't come out right from a text or whatever right? I guess just hope sometime when I'm hanging out it comes up and I just answer?

Well coming out to my best friend was a really scary experience, I put it off as much as I could. In the end I told him when I was really drunk (which wasn't really the best idea but I couldn't muster the courage to do it while sober)... In the end it worked out fine, he just asked me why I didn't tell him earlier heh.
And don't come out with a text, it'll end up being a lot more stressful for you, especially if he doesn't answer right away. I'd try to do it in person.
Yes and they call me gay all the time. Not really in a mean way to me but they're like my family, from a rural area, not exposed to it, obsessed with girls and find the thought of being with a guy disgusting. People have always called me gay so I guess it might not surprise many but teasing about it and actually hearing it's true is way different.
Yeah that would certainly be the easiest for me, but as I said, I have these nightmares of getting stuck in a really awkward situation where they don't want me there anymore and I'm drunk and can't leave ha. Maybe I'll just try talkin to each of them individually.
I recently came out to my best buds (last month) and I had so much anxiety. These were guys I had known since high school and played baseball with every weekend. I wanted to tell them before I left for DC (I lived in LA) but I chickened out. So I finally decided, fuck it, these are my bros I'm telling them. Although I was nervous, I told them who I was and what I had been dealing with my whole life. They didn't believe me at first as I was always a "ladies man". After I assured them I wasn't kidding they were the most supporting, loving friends I could have ever asked for. And then came the questions... so many questions haha. But it was fun and I'm so grateful to have such amazing buds!
You'll do great, your friends are your friends for a reason and they will support you.

I deliberately told exactly one person other than my parents; for everyone else, they were welcome to come across it (or not) on Facebook: "interested in men." A few friends mentioned it briefly to me within a few days, saying that they were happy I was open about things. The others no doubt heard through the grapevine, but that was the extent of it. No drama, no awkwardness, nothing changed. When people ask me if I have a girlfriend, I say something along the lines of, "Well, it would be a boyfriend, but yes/no, etc..." In this day and age, coming out to friends and acquaintances is, in most cases, a non-issue. It is simply a piece of information.
Yeah. I'd suggest coming out to whoever is closest to you in your circle. It's going to be scary for sure, but it's a good way to test the waters and find some local moral support. Try not to be awkward about it and just be honest. I understand how you feel living here in Georgia (though not the very rural parts).

This was my situation in reverse. We were just about to go to sleep and I said, "By the way, I'm gay. Good night!" and I turned off the lights. He just laughed uncontrollably and asked, "Why would you tell me that as we're about to go to sleep!?" in the darkness. I turned the lights back on after that, obviously, and we had a talk.
We had known each other for a good while, but this was the first time he had come over to my house. I'm pretty sure he knew I liked guys to an extent, so I thought it was cool that he didn't seem to mind and still wanted to come over. I just confirmed his suspicions because I'm a nice guy like that.
I remember a while after that night he brought me a "Got Milk?" ad of a shirtless David Beckham from a magazine because he thought I'd like it. He gave it to me in class. I was like, "Oh, I, er--thanks." Haha.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OhOGQINu0lkThanks for the advice everyone. And I just found the biggest roach in my apartment and screamed like a girl, squirting it a million times with an ant killer until I finally caught it and smashed it with a huge box. Yes, I think I'm gay
Good luck sruckus. It's something I need to do soon too. It doesn't seem appropriate to do in an e-mail or over the phone, but I'm running out of time to do it any other way.
Jesus, it's like a sitcom.
you are insane
What if those cockroaches crawl into your bed and decide to sleep with you? What if they crawl up your nostrils while you're sleeping? What if they get in your shoes? What if you open a box of cereal and cockroaches come out?
You need to vaccum them up and release the filth into the trash where they belong.

I really don't think your friends are going to be creeped out by you.. I'm sure they've dealt with gay people before, Do you know if they're homophobic? If not, they'll likely be more upset that you didn't tell them sooner.

In Florida, its all you can do.. but I still get freaked out by them and have done literally everything possible to keep them out of the house.. it takes a long time to get used to but I'm over my phobia of them at least.

No.. in fact, Taylor Swift is one of two artists that I've asked my husband to never play in my presence. She.. is awful.. in every possible way..

It's very different (for her), slightly generic some might say but I'm a sucker for bubblegum pop. And I just love Taylor's songwriting, even in the more "basic" songs.
I'm sure the album will be full of masterpieces just like Speak Now was, this is just sort of her by the numbers first single smash. I hope it's massive!
I've always found it kind of funny how many people hate her and spend so much time criticizing her. I guess it comes with being so successful. She's the sweetest girl I've ever not known

It was a little generic sounding. I mean, it's catchy, but just...generic. It doesn't really sound like Taylor Swift to me. Does that make sense?

Yeah, I'm just happy she's trying new things (even if it seems like a step backwards for some). For me this is the best of both worlds (Pop + Taylor). I saw many people on her official forums are upset about her "changing too much".
I believe this could become her biggest hit of all time, which would be quite a big deal (she wrote this with Max Martin AKA the guy who wrote Baby One More Time and many other pop classics and Shellback who he's been working with lately).
She does! In fact she wrote all of her last album on her own, no co-writes (she's back to co-writing this time)
Unf, so hot.
I still am pissed at the cop out Atlus did with Kanji. "He's gay... Oh wait no he's not, he just likes textiles and sewing!"
Dude, coming out is all in the way you do it. The more hesitant you are and the more you seem to expect other people's approval, the worst it will be.
You need to ask yourself if you want to be surrounded by people who will never accept you for who you are, simply because you grew up with them, or if you'd rather be surrounded by people who will love you and accept you no matter what.
It might be scary now but trust me, the older you get the more you realize you don't have time to give to people who are too close-minded to see beyond the sexual preference.
My advice on how to do it would be just to tell them in a way that says "this is what it is, deal with it". The more confident you are about it, the less people will think they can bully you about it.
I disagree, any artist who makes a song that empowers people to realize that their past relationships are from the past for a reason, then I'm gonna support them. She's poppy/country but she has a few good/feel good songs.
Also as a last whatever, I really advise people to join a gay league of any sports they think they'd like. I play volleyball in New York and it has been the best thing I've ever done here. I've met amazing people and had so much fun playing. Joining a club is the way to go to meet other gay people. so please seriously consider it the next time you feel like you don't know enough gays.
