There is this girl I would like to talk to but I don't get the courage or a reasonable excuse to do so. Hopefully I see her again to get another chance. Which I wouldn't use so blah.

lol, that shit still happens. It's assumed that AIDS is a gay disease, so when I came out my previous stepmom told me pretty much the same thing, ugh.
Gotta just set your inhibitions aside and barrel through. It's hard, but possible!
The sad thing is that I haven't travelled enough for it to be truly epic.
We keep saying we'll travel once the house is built. Any vacationing we did was with Jake, because leaving him behind would've broken his heart.. which meant lots of family visits and camping trips.
Furthest north? Wheeling, West Virginia
Furthest south and east? Orlando, Florida
Furthest west? Fredericksburg, Texas

You should yours Ratsky. I'm sure it would be fun to read

Adorable. :3
Artistic liberties will make it work. You totally met Bill Clinton, worked a day on the set of Titanic and you probably even hosted an LGBT panel in NYC in 2001. (Yes my immediate knowledge of this time period in the US is schockingly limited at this late an hour).
But you definitely were at the forefront of the biggest thing ever: the internet. That much is true.
It's awesome, it'll sell. I should totally become a film producer.

"Don't you go get AIDS on me" is ambiguous, one meaning much nastier than the other.
I'm on-board!
(Does this mean I'll finally need to watch Titanic? I've resisted seeing it forever, ha!)
Yup! Started in August of 1996. I remember getting absolutely toasted on Election Night a few months later, gloating about Clinton being re-elected with such a nice margin. The hillbillies in my dorm building were all cheering for Dole because, in their words, "the n*ggers were voting for Clinton." (like I said earlier.. Ole Miss was a tough environment)
Graduated just in time for the dot-com bust.
I did that too. That's when I started to realize that something is off with me
That was a great read. It really sounds like those were magical years
That's not old lol, just always puts me in perspective.Some people are old
Was my favourite movie (until I saw Gravity on one orgasmic night at the cinema). To me it's an ode to nostalgia, to memories stashed away in the inconspicuous hearts of old people, the impact that love can have on your life and also to one helluva interesting catastrophe all by itself. The romance part is almost the least important to me. But fuck me, those underwater shots of that dead ship visibly haunted by memories of lives intertwined. Of people forever changed by people nobody else remembers. It never gets old for me.
Also it's the best execution of the modern Hollywood blockbuster dreamfactory type film that I've yet seen. Despite being one of the first (if not the first). Cinematography, set design, technology, all that stuff is extremely fascinating how they achieved that in 97.
I'm even a sucker for the story behind the film. How James Cameron was determined to ruin his career just to finish making his vision a reality. The subject of ridicule, scandals and financial problems, it turned out that the one guy who no one had faith in anymore was the one with the winning formula of how to make the most successful film of all times. This is true vision and ambition. It's so perfect. (And his 'I'm the king of the world' at the Oscars was so deserved).
It's a pity that I don't share his vision for Avatar like one single bit. Like, really? This is your dream project, Mr. Cameron? WTF? (I really hate Avatar)
Oh and it's among the best use of 3D as well which is crazy considering its 2D origins. It adds so much. (Man was I happy to get to experience on a cinema screen due to the 3D version. So good)
Some people are old
Yup!
HylianGreg was in the Air Force in 1991 (he's 6 years older). Met me ~2 years after leaving. Didn't want to continue to live under "Don't Ask, Don't Tell."
Nah, I don't feel old, just everyone around is so damn young!
GAF's keeping me artificially young. If it weren't for the OT, I'd be totally clueless about everything pop culture related.

And yes, please share some stories from that time!
In 1996 I was 2.
So this'd've been around when I cried because security at the jail my father was in wouldn't let him see us, I think. If I'd been watching porn it'd've been shitty early internet stuff. Luckily by 2007 there was a lot of fanfiction for me to read (and try and trick myself into thinking it was a coincidence I mostly read slash stuff).

Romantic stuff featuring two dudes. Named like 'Sora/Riku' and such. My early reading habits were, uh, curiously skewed

Hah I used to read Buffyverse slash fiction when I was like twelve.
You like that girl?
Nice haircut! You're cute as always
So you don't want to share it? You can PM me your story
I just think you're a very interesting person my dear yum
Ohhh, I always thought slash fiction was like murder fiction, or slashing someone.Romantic stuff featuring two dudes. Named like 'Sora/Riku' and such. My early reading habits were, uh, curiously skewed
My thoughts exactly, I immediately thought of Victor Szas from Batman, lol.

I think it got the name because the nomenclature the stories would have, like "Character A/Character B".
That makes sense. Still, something new for me to learn lmao. I should've realized earlier.
"It's just a coincidence all the fics I read end up ith Spike and Angel fucking! I sware they just happen to be the one's I stumble across!" Yeah OK young Vegi, suuuuuuure.
Ha ha no
It's this. Because of that.

or Spike and Xander (even though Xander is terrible), or Oz and anyone but Giles. I wasn't too picky
Haha true.
Depends what you read. I'm not into canon defilement so yeah. If you can convincingly write 'Ginny and Harry have a fight and break up and he screws Ron while confused and sad' it's not murder. As long as you have the skill.
Or like so I would imagine I dunno whatever.
Hmmm, Spike and Xander got the whole "I hate you grrrrr" thing going on but Oz is a dangerous warewolf. Both fine choices.or Spike and Xander (even though Xander is terrible), or Oz and anyone but Giles. I wasn't too picky
Hmmm... you went from a dark brown mackerel cat to a black cat? Impressive! You're able to change your coat color

Yes, we both go to this meetup group. It's not like I've just seen her around so I know a bit about her interests and personality.
Chameleon cat.
Oh very nice... That explains it.
Sorry for asking, but are you a guy or a girl?

I am a guy.
Oh okay! I apologize for asking. My gender class taught me not to assume anyone's gender, especially online. Always ask politely. And ah, I see... hmmm... do some of her interests and your interests match? Do you guys like the same type of music or movies and TV shows? I would try to talk to her about the things she's interested in that are also interesting to me, so that I can have something to converse about (and not be boring about it).

don't forget the awkward roxas 3-way
I used to totally ship it when I was younger
but only cus I never could get into Roxas/Axel. Much cuter Aesthetically but the implications of it trouble me.
Is one of them way older or something?
Not exactly, but yeah. One of them kinda sorta not exactly but like raised the other. Abuse of power stuff creeps me out.
Oh, makes sense. I personally hate anything age difference related, hah. Or uncle shit or whatever.
