Dude bro

[Her]

I saw a pic you posted in the picture thread and I was wondering, are your teeth naturally straight? They're very nice!

 

[Jake♫]

What do you like and dislike about the new upcoming games?

Honestly, for the most part I'm pretty much happy with what has been revealed. The only exceptions for me are Froakie (because why does it have to exist, make a better Water starter) and the male protagonist (yay another Hilbert clone!). The positives outweigh the negatives by a metric crap ton, so you can I'm extremely optimistic about X/Y!

Fave Ice Cream Flavour?

Fave pastime?

Fave State?

• Cookies and cream. Get it in my mouth now that's what she said
• Oh god. I can't just pick one hobby that I like the most. I guess I've been playing video games the longest so that?
• New York or bust

I saw a pic you posted in the picture thread and I was wondering, are your teeth naturally straight? They're very nice!

They are not! I had braces for like 7 years and it was awful. My teeth looked like I was a hillbilly, it was awful. If I could find a pic I'd upload one and show it but I have no idea where one would even be.

 

[Sydian]

Would you recommend Red Robin? We don't have one here and I have always wondered!!

If you could change your username to something else, what would it be?

And if you could change your actual name, what would it be?

 

[Golurks Were Meant to Fly]

Have some more questions:

You seem to post many pictures with poles, so have you ever considered pole dancing?

And since no one has asked you yet, what's your coming out story?

What's your favorite pokemon?

And lastly what would you dye your hair to if you had to?

• Oh my god it is so delicious. The A1 Peppercorn burger is probably the best thing that I have ever eaten. And I just ate dinner and now I want one.
• I'd get rid of the music note pretty much. I tried to do it with the final name changes with a unicode A, but it was considered too close to whoever has the name Jake registered =P
• I actually like my name. I don't think I'd change it even if I could.

• Without context this question is great. To give context, here you people go. I'd be a great pole dancer, I'm sexy as hell. And my mad skills on the pole are unmatched.
• This is gonna be a long one probably...
  
  I was mildly unlucky growing up, in the sense that I didn't hit puberty until 11th grade. Probably didn't help that instead of playing the stereotypical boy sports that I chose to be a gymnast instead. Starting in 6th grade I was bullied verbally pretty badly, but it never was physical fortunately. I got called gay frequently for being a gymnasts and having to wear a leotard. I got called gay for my extremely high voice (and trust me, it WAS that high). I got made fun of for having primarily girl friends, although I did have a handful of guy friends I hung out with as well, just not as often. Every passing period between classes and lunch sucked awfully. It's not fun being verbally abused daily, even if the insults got old. It still hurt just as much. It got to the point where in 8th grade I quit gymnastics. I told my parents I grew out of it and just wasn't having fun with it anymore. That was a lie. I just couldn't take the teasing for it anymore. To this day I really miss it, and I've actually been talking to someone who is a coach there now oddly. I might just go and visit one of these days.
  
  Back on track though, it's probably important that at this point I really didn't know I was gay. I wasn't in denial, I wasn't just saying it to please anyone. I truly thought I was straight. I dated a girl for a few months at the end of 8th grade (And might I say she was hot as all hell, and her boobs were big. Perks of still being ridiculously short? Hugging her and my face in them. Good times.), and I really did like her. I wasn't in love or anything, but it's middle school, so whatever.
  
  In 9th grade I ran cross country, and that was the year that you ran with everyone from grades 9-12. At down times during our meets, we'd always just sit around talking. That's when the seniors started talking about porn. Being the oblivious innocent child I was at the time I had no idea what they were talking about. One of them gave me a website to check out, and they also gave me the helpful hint to clear my browser history. God bless them. So little 5'2" extremely high pitched voice me got on the computer one night and went to that website and discovered the glories of masturbation. You know how teenage boys are? Yeah, let's go with that. Then I saw one video with a thumbnail with two guys in it, and hell I was curious. I clicked it. It was awakened in me. After a week or two more I never watched a straight video ever again.
  
  It was at this time that I started to question my sexuality. I clearly liked what happened when two guys were together. No, that couldn't be right, it's wrong. All of the bullying that happened made that very clear. I was deep in denial, and that carried through with me through most of high school. As a lot of people that are deep in the closet, they are the most homophobic of all. I wouldn't get near any of the 10 gay people that were out in my school, because it scared me that I'd be like them. I couldn't handle it. I still went through bullying, but not as bad as middle school.
  
  I finally hit puberty in 11th grade. My voiced dropped an octave and a half, I grew 10 inches, and developed a crap ton of body hair on my legs. People left me alone now. All the telltale stereotypical gay traits that people love to pick on people for weren't there anymore. Two kids in my homeroom wouldn't stop relenting, but after dealing with more than a dozen for so long, two doesn't seem so bad. So I went with it. I made more guy friends, and made sure people saw me with them. I still hung out with the girls I had with friends all time time, but just not as often as before. I started to call myself bisexual, as surely that was better than being fully gay (in my mind at least). I sort of accepted it senior year, but that's not really important.
  
  Now we move on to college. I'm accepting myself more, but I'm way too afraid to act on it. Then I meet my closest group of friends. One of them strikes me the most, and you probably can see where this is going. I had my first crush on a straight guy. And it was the worst. We always hung out, played racquetball, whatever. It was unbearable to me. I hated that I had such a crush on someone that would never feel the same way, no matter how much that I wanted to. Eventually I got over it, but it still sucked having to deal with it. In a way it was a blessing though; getting over it meant that I knew what I wanted sexually, and I knew I was starting to be ready to act on it.
  
  Which brings us to Christmas of 2011. It was our winter break, and I couldn't hold it in anymore. I told my two best friends that I wanted to talk to them on Skype at night, and it worried the crap out of them. They knew it was something important, but apparently they had no idea what I needed to talk about. When we started talking, it was just like a normal conversation. But it hit a lull, and my friend asked me what I needed to tell them. I froze. I was behind a freaking computer and I still couldn't say it. I wasn't dealing with anyone face-to-face, it was just me alone in my room. I started to type out that I was gay, but I kept deleting it and stalling. Eventually I was just told to spit it out. I typed it and let it sit in the chat bar before I hit enter. I didn't know what was about to happen, and I was scared as all hell. I finally hit enter, and got up from my laptop and went to the bathroom out of stress. I walked back in the room and wasn't sure what to expect.
  
  They accepted it. No one cared. They were happy I was happy. It wouldn't affect our friendships at all, and I broke into tears. I couldn't handle the acceptance, because it was the last thing I was expecting, even if I knew they wouldn't have cared all along. When you're the one coming out, logic doesn't matter. It doesn't exist. You are scared no matter what, even if you know nothing negative is going to happen.
  
  It felt great having two of my friends knowing it, but I still had a handle I wanted to tell. I couldn't hide behind a computer anymore though. It had to be face-to-face. But I didn't have the courage for this. I just couldn't do it. This is where alcohol comes into play kids. Believe it or not, liquid courage isn't the worst thing in the world. At a few different parties throughout the rest of the year I managed to tell them while I was drunk. If I couldn't do it sober at least I could do it drunk. It wasn't like it was a mistake either, so don't judge. Funniest one was where I blacked out and didn't remember telling my one friend, and she asked me about it a few days later and I was like "HOW DO YOU KNOW!" Gooooooooood times.
  
  Now that my friends knew, I felt ready to start trying to date. I downloaded the wonderful app called Grindr (hint: it's not actually wonderful) and uploaded a picture. To my surprise, I got a bunch of messages coming in. It was different for me. I never would have thought of myself as somewhat desirable, especially after striking out all but once in high school (and that relationship was a hot mess). It was weird being wanted. However, there was one picture of someone that just caught my eye and left me stunned. I couldn't message him though, he was way out of my league. It would never happen. But one night, I just said **** it and messaged him. Apparently we felt the same way in that regard. After talking for a few weeks we had a date. And now he's been my boyfriend for over a year. That's a whole long story though that I could type just as much one, so I'll leave that for another day.
  
  Now I'm dating someone in March of 2012. My parents still don't know. And I hate lying to them. I decided to go out to lunch with my mom one day under the pretense that we needed to talk about something. She could tell it was something serious as I was acting way out of the normal. She barraged me with "Is it this?" questions, and I just kept answering no. Eventually she just paused, looked me in the eyes, and asked, "Honey, are you gay?" I perked up instantly. She knew she hit the jackpot. Without even replying she moved to my booth and gave me a hug and said, "Gay or straight, I still love you and I always will." Those words have stuck with me for a long time and I'll never forget that moment.
  
  Telling my dad was way less eventful, and I knew his brother disowned his son for being gay, so I was a lot more nervous about that one. I couldn't say it in person, so I called him one day to tell him. He was more upset that I didn't say it in person that about what I actually said. He wasn't thrilled at first, but what parent really is I guess. He came around though, and he fully accepts me and loves me for who I am. That's all I would ever ask for, and I wouldn't want anything more.
  Which brings us to today I guess. I'm fully out to everyone I know now, minus extended family, but that's because they're crazy religious. Maybe one day I'll come out to them too, but that's a ways down the line.
  
  I guess if there's anything that people want to take for this, it's that don't let other get you down about who you are. There isn't anything wrong with you, no matter how you feel about yourself. Once you tell people it's the greatest feeling in the world. The world is off your shoulders, the lies and cover up stop, and you feel way happier. It's scary as hell, and I will never say it wasn't, but it was easily the greatest decision I've ever made. Don't be afraid to be happy.
  
• Houndoom, Scizor, or Jolteon
• Probably not. I like my shade of hair color, so it's not blindingly red. I might consider going brunette at some point since it's not that giant of a leap, but not any time in the near future!

Why are you so cute?

What is your favorite clothes store to shop at?

• Because genetics?
• I shop at Macy's and American Eagle mostly

What is favorite thing to do after a long day of work or college?

Favorite Candy?

 

[Gyardosamped]

What did you do for your last birthday?

Are you afraid of heights? Or what are you afraid of?

If you could spend the day with any celebrity, who would it be?

Favorite Candy?

• Oh god a variety of things. I usually pop on the server just to talk to some people, play guitar for awhile to relax, maybe play a game. Other times I just stay on campus and go hang out with my boyfriend (depending on the day)!
• Three Musketeers are like crack to me. I don't know what it is, but if I eat one I will eat at least three more.

What did you do for your last birthday?

• My friends threw me a surprise party (with gratuitious amounts of boozeahol), got me a cake, and we had a great time partying the night away. Was probably my best birthday to date, spending it with just the close friends I would have wanted around me.
• Contrary to what has happened to me in the past (which is a whole long story I can get into if you really want me to, just ask in here about it), I am not! However, needles terrify me. Like, I'm deathly afraid. Which is weird, because I really want to get a tattoo. I guess I'll just suck it up and hopefully get over it!
• Contrary to what I know you're expecting me to say, I'd definitely want to meet John Mayer. He is my biggest inspiration when it comes to all things musical. He is an insane guitar player, amazing singer (and I'd consider him better live than recorded), and someone that definitely makes me want to get better in that regard. I'd kill to hang out with him for one day and just get personal lessons from him. Like, I think I would literally kill. It'd be amazing.

What happened to you? I am curious.

Story time!

I was nine years old when my friend decided to have his birthday party (and oddly his birthday was the day after mine!). He picked what was probably the coolest theme at the time for nine year olds in 2001 (at least where I was from): a rock climbing party. Thankfully, down in the city of Rochester, we have an indoor rock climbing place, which has an assortment of walls of varying difficulties that are all belayed by the staff there to make sure everyone is safe while they (attempt) to get to the top of the walls.

However, if you've ever been to a fair or something of the variety, you've probably seen those portable rock climbing walls that are four-sided, have an attendant operating at the bottom of it, but the walls themselves are automatic in the sense that a person doesn't have to belay the climber. Of course, as a company that travels around the city to put up a wall at the fairs, they had one of those walls outside the main building. Of course, that was the wall everyone ventured to when they got bored of the walls inside.

When I finally got my turn to go up it, I was so excited. I was totally determined to get to the top of it. Unlike the walls inside, it wasn't nearly as tall (probably around twenty feet maximum), and was just straight up instead having some sort of incline to make the difficulty higher. So I kind of just stared at it and felt totally confident. It's been eleven years, so I couldn't give you an exact amount of time, but it felt like I just flew up the wall. When I reached the top, I rang the bell as hard as I could as I was pretty satisfied with how quickly I got up there.

Then it's all a blur. Next thing I knew I was lying on the concrete (Oh, did I mention that it was just on solid concrete with zero padding or mats on the ground? Yeah, that's kind of important!) and I had no idea how I got there. I could feel my body for the most part, but then I looked over to my right arm. Thankfully I was in shock, otherwise little nine year old me probably wouldn't have been able to handle the sight of the bone showing through my skin. From what I was told, a screw was loose in part of the carabiner (the clip that attaches the harness to the cable), which caused me to lose the connection between my harness and the cable that belays you.

Naturally, everyone was freaking out. My friend's parents were losing their minds. They couldn't believe something this serious could happen to me while I was under their care at my friends' birthday party. They instantly called 911 to get an ambulance for me. However, when they attempted to get in contact with my parents, they blanked. We lived on the same street, but they didn't know my house number. They had no idea any sort of cell phone information. For those who are wondering, shock is both a blessing and a curse. It sucks that you have to be forced to even enter it, but the lovely thing is that you are probably the calmest person in the entire situation. I quickly fed out all the information to his parents as well as the medical personnel when they arrived so they could get my parents to the hospital.

As a result of all this, I broke my humorous (aka your funny bone), which was the bone popping out of my skin, as well as my growth plate in my elbow. Thankfully modern medicine is a wonderful thing, and I've recovered completely, so that isn't any concern. Plus I got some money out of the deal from the following lawsuit (which you don't need to know any specifics about!).

You would think that I'd be scared of heights after all of this, but honestly they still don't really phase me. I'd love to go skydiving, bungee jumping, or anything of that variety. I will definitely never go rock climbing of any sort ever, EVER again, but in general heights still don't scare me. I'm weird like that, don't ask me!

• I bite my nails and I know I shouldn't but I can't help it. It's kind of a nervous habit a little bit, that and laziness of getting nail clippers so I just bite them instead =x It's probably gross but I'm over it
• I've been there twice, once when I was 8ish and last summer. I don't have like a schedule or anything for go down there, but I went down last summer and will be going down this summer to visit my boyfriend while he's home from school!

What was the hardest song you've ever learnt on guitar? \(◕‿◕✿)/ *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧

• Probably Stop This Train by John Mayer. If you just look at a tab of it the finger picking doesn't look terribly hard, but the pattern for doing it involves using your thumb to slap the bass note while you flick your index finger on a string as well. It creates this percussive element without having to use any other instruments. Getting it down to actually being able to hit the note and the bass reliably was obnoxious, but it sounds so good!

One song you'd wish you knew how to play on guitar?

If you could meet one person who would it be and why?

• Neon by John Mayer. Not just any version, but this one. Listen and you'll understand. Also that video is live, and it's just aiosdjfoaisdjfoiasjdfoaidsjf.
• Oh god. If they're living I guess John Mayer (I kind of had this question before but if you want the detailed reason scroll up =P). That or David Tennant because he's easily one of my favorite actors, plus he's my favorite Doctor. I'd love to meet him and just stand there with my jaw unhinged and not being able to talk to him in a coherrent manner!

What is on the walls of the room you are in?

Seen anything weird lately?

Not sure if this has been asked already, but do you like tattoos? And if so, have any idea as to what you'd get?

• Dave Matthews poster, Fenway Park poster, a big music related painting
• If hearing counts as seeing, having a guy from the Ukraine call into my job thinking it is a sex hotline was pretty weird.
• I love tattoos. If they're done well they can be extremely sexy. Here's the odd thing though: I'm terrified of needles but I totally want a tattoo. Time to suck up that fear I guess! As for what I want, I want to get this (ignore the crappy quality and that the colors are upside down =P) tattooed either somewhere on my back or below my waist line. The significance to me has been that coming out was a rather large struggle and has taken a lot to get where I am today (hence the flag being tattered), I'm out and proud of it. It's not there saying "I'm gay and that's me!", it was just the personal process that has shaped a lot of who I am today because of it.
