FFXI LGBT Community, Who Are You?

(after skimming the past 70ish pages)
(response to page 1022)*** yea Hufflepuffffff :D Clearly the best house.

Wow 1062 pages. Just figure I'd throw in a friendly <Hello!>

Welcome^^ !

Tyty ^^

That may be one of the funniest thing's I have ever seen.

Better late than never, I say.

Speaking of late, where'd all the original posters go? Anyone talk to Evan lately?

They posting in better threads.

Haven't seen or heard anything about Evan for like... ever lol

Then again I've been in China (aka informational black hole) all summer. XD

Shouldn't you be dying to Slashers and Gashers?
Looks like you had fun, again. What brings you there? School? Or just for kicks?

Only gashers, and done with dem >:
It was actually heqet cause he aggroed a mule and took me down with them.

China sounds BA, I'm jealous.

Hufflepuff is by far the least talked about/lamest house.
But don't worry, they're good finders, whatever that means.

Holy ***I missed you so much ::

Study abroad. :D I'm back now though. Kinda sad, kinda happy, very jetlagged lol x__x

My sarcastic playing up of Hufflepuff was missed then. :< On the bright side though, I have less people to compete with for coolest Hufflepuff. XD

Bawww thanks you too^^ !!

Well how was it? Any pix? Intend to go back?

It was absolutely amazing. I loved being able to actually use my Chinese in everyday life. We weren't allowed to speak English all summer long, so it was a challenge sometimes. :) Chinese people (except for like... most cab drivers, racist *** ><) love foreigners; I felt really welcomed. I met so many awesome people it made me cry when the semester ended. :/ lol

As for photos, I have like 2000 of them to sort through lol will post some soon(ish). :D

And I definitely intend to go back. :) I wouldn't want to live there though - too much pollution and censorship. XD Plus I don't think I wanna try finding a bf over there lol

Just like in the US, people who live in Chinese cities (as opposed to out in the country) tend to have better attitudes toward gay people. Can be weird sometimes though; some people either don't believe in homosexuality or just don't grasp the concept somehow. Like if you tell them, they still keep encouraging you to hit on hot girls when you go out. XD That being said though, for one of my class essays I wrote about the institution of religion as it relates to homosexuality, mentioning my experience as a gay person in the southern US. Later that night, another teacher (who had gone out to the bars with us, sooo cooool lol) told me that my teacher had gossiped about it to all the other teachers, who thought it was great. XD He spent like the whole night reassuring me that Chinese people aren't all homophobes. Meanwhile I was trying to reassure him that I knew he wasn't a homophobe. XD Fun night lol

Morning all, Welcome back Carrelo glad to hear your trip went well... I don't know if there was anything interesting in the back read XD

EditI'm totally gunna find an excuse to use this elsewhere XD

lol I kind of don't either. XD Was less of a backread and more of a skimskimskimskimskimOMGHARRYPOTTER<3skimskimskim~

Theres the swimsuite pics a few pages back but thats all that comes to mind.

lol for a sec I thought you meant like... reeeal swimsuit pics. Then I realized they're XIV pics. <__<　／ｄｉｓａｐｐｏｉｎｔ

XIV pic of me in a bathing suite is much better then real me in a bathing suite trust me... can't comment for anyone else XD

ジムくん、おかえりなさい～～～(ﾉ´∀｀*)ﾉ

ありがとうーーーーーー　( ＾ ▽ ＾ )ノ

Lol had to read up to see what that actually was XD

was it weird when you got back and had to start speaking english again?

i find that whenever i'm working in one language and then i finish and switch back to english, it takes me a bit to get back into the swing and cadence of it

Heheh kind of, I find myself accidentally thanking people or saying excuse me in Chinese a lot. XD The weirdest thing though - using a fork. o__o It just feels awkward to hold a fork now lol o___O Luckily I brought back a pair of shiny chopsticks to use around the house. :D I would never use them out where people could see me though - too pretentious lolol

lol, when i was at uni i ate sushi often (woo to having a sushi bar on campus) and i always used chopsticks XD

Oh, I mean it'd be pretentious to take chopsticks around with me to use everywhere. XD There's nothing wrong with using them at actual Asian restaurants though lol

I wouldn't see a problem with someone whipping out chopsticks anywhere... whatever float your boat XD
