Hmm...I'm with you Taras Shadow, I met my girl at school, an all girls Catholic high school, my senior year.



Funny thing we joke about was that we went to the same school for four years and didn't meet until the last. In the two months I got to know her I kinda fell in love with her. I was so bad with crushes. I eventually grew on her, "turning her to the dark side" as our ex-friends used to say. Whatever, they were just jealous. She kinda fell in love with me, too.



Anyhow that was 5yrs ago and we are still together! So I say HA! to those who said that it wouldn't last. I'm even thinking of doing the whole proposal thingy...kinda nervous, though. It's like a serious-this-is-forever type of thought, but I wouldn't mind spending the rest of my life with her. Love is a crazy thing.

She's my girl, she's my everything.

[Taras Shadow]

Way 2 go Sparky



All Girls Catholic High School is a great place to meet some very interesting females. A very good place.



Good for you

hey, baby june-- seven sisters in the house! one bona-fide Smithie at your service!!



...and even though I went to school in the self-proclaimed lesbian-capital of the continent...I met my soulmate in the seventh grade. but, as she sometimes explains to people, we didn't become "jenny and sara" until we were fifteen. we even managed to flirt while discussing nazis in modern european history by her bold statement, "I wonder if my ancestors were torturing your ancestors..." the boldness here is underlined by her inborn tara-like shyness, which I sometimes forget about because she is never shy with me. we are night and day, sun and moon, ocean and fire...and at 23 it still amazes me how much she pays attention to me. even when I do crazy things like move to california. (back now). she just looks at me, and I know I'm never, ever alone.



yeah.

HeeHee...I met my hunny when I was in 6th grade. Of course I didnt know it then. I ended up moving away for 2 years...and I came back to visit one weekend. I went to visit a few of my friends, and she was with them. I remember being SO attracted to her, I just wanted to know her. She tells me now that she felt the same way. I think we both fell in love with each other for the first time that day. I had a camera, and she offered to take a picture of all of us....but for the second one, I told her she had to come stand by my and get in the picture too.



About half a year later, I moved back. It took us about 3 months, but we finally started dating, and here we are a year later, and I still fall in love with her all over again, everyday. It's only been a year...but we're working on that whole time thing. We have plenty of it ^_~



~Sara



P.S. By weird freak coincidence....I went through one of my old school yearbooks...and there was a little star by every single picture of hers. Must have been a sign.

Hey SJ!! Thanx!!! I know it will all go just fine. She calls me her "Willow/Tara/Sarah grrl". heeeheeee. It's so cute. She thinks I'm a mix of our grrls.

....Ohhhhh, I'm soo in love with her.



Thanx again SJ!!!

Well, I met my girl, oddly enough, at a bible college. This was the kind of bible college where women are only allowed to wear dresses and they go there to marry a preacher. I didn't attend classes there, I worked there. Cleaning. Cleaning up after college students was NOT fun, and believe me, I wouldn't have stayed... except for her! I was totally infatuated with her from the moment I saw her.



We had some bumpy times, including all of her friends pulling me aside (her Christan friends at that) and telling me how horrible she was and that she lied all the time. I was shocked... I couldn't believe anyone would say things like that about their own friend. But they would do anything in their power to keep her from me. 'Cause they thought it was a sin. This caused months of struggling for her. She kept thinking she would ruin MY life by staying with me. But I did my best to convince her and here we are. 11 years later!



We have the best relationship of anyone I've met. We spend almost every waking minute either together or very close. (We even work at the same place!) We never get tired of each other!



Well, that's my story. Congrats to all the new relationships out there. I remember how ours started... it was a little bumpy... but well worth it!

WOW! Gotta say, there are quite some interesting 'meeting' stories in here. I love those who have met their sweeties when they were little kids but didn't know til years later. just makes me go all 'awwwww' ..well, here goes mine...

(must warn everyone, i wrote this very quickly, so forgive me if some of this doesn't make sense)

I met my sweetie in HS. I was a senior, she was a freshman (shuttup I can hear it already, we didn't date til years later anyways... ) anyhoo, I was in the band and she was taking a 'music apreciation' type of class at the time. I had to be the almighty senior and just hang around while the kiddies were entering the class. I started playing some song on the piano (I'm a Leo so I gotta be in the spotlight somehow). So I'm playing this song when I hear this voice, "Why the hell are you playing that song?" Geez, I dunno, cuz i CAN? when I looked up I saw the most MORBID girl I had EVER seen...but ya know...there was something about her...

that was the very first meeting..as the year went by we talked a bit more, mainly cuz she ended up joining the band and I was 'assigned' to help her out with her instrument. At the time I was also dating someone, so many conversations went by with this girl listening to my problems. we became friends very quickly but lost touch when I graduated and went off to college...ok, cutting to three years later....I'm in college...people saw her thinking it was me and then these people would come up to meand say that they would greet me and i would totally ignore them. later we realized that I had a twin roaming the halls...I knew who it was (yes we look related)...I had just gotten over a relationship..actually it was just messy..lasted a while but obviously didn't work (and during the downfall/break-up I tried dating, that didn't work, either..I was really hooked on "my first")..I decided to bust on her about her being my 'twin' by emailing her..it was really easy to figure out the email address as every student's email was based on their name...we finally met up..well, actually..I'm in the cafeteria talking to some friends from the GLBFA club. pretty late night (I was also a cyber slut, I'll admit it), when one of my friends aka Sequoia (cuz he' so damn tall) tells me how my twin is in one of his classes...he stops and says, 'well, speak of the devil'...couldn't have been cuz when I turned around I see an angel, a HOT one at that..ok, so she's changed..alot..black corduroy pants, tight top and this little beanie hat...we do the usual 'hey long time no see' talk when it feels like someone turned up the heat in this room. oh, it was her saying how nice my hair was and decides to *ahem* play with it, leading down to the back of my neck ever so non chalantly....*whew* ok, I am sweating bullets...that was that night...days went by...weeks went by...we're talking...getting to know each other again...part of me getting over "my first"...didn't really think she had really liked me until later that month..she insisted she'd drive me home (actually we lived about a mile from each other)..during this drive, we're talking, she was previously dating someone but broke it off....I'm getting over someone..."So will you go out with me?" HEH? where did this come from. now, I LIKED her but, but..well, I didn't know what to do...ok, so smack me, i had to be rational and say we were both going to do the rebound thing and I didn't want that. I found out she didn't like my answer as i almost felt my body go throuogh the windshield, ok so it didn't but she was slowling down quickly and was in utter shock that I had turned her down...very confident I might add...we took it slow...spend more time together until I found myself wanting to wrap my arms around her and NEVER let go. well, she's in my room one night looking out at this great view I had of NY (once upon a time) she says 'nice view' I say..'yeah, I like it' .. we talk some more when she kinda crawls on the bed..at this point I'm lost in the convo cuz I'm just totally transfixed by this beautiful dark haired, golden-eyed goddess...she does something that I just won't mention at the moment and leads into the most perfect kiss..I'm in another world cuz this is nothing like the one i thought I was living in.......



Five and some years later I'm typing this up and she's waiting for me in bed with a wide ass grin



the hardest part to deal with was when we had started to date..well, here's a twist...she was a Jehova's Witness *ouch* i had to tell her that I would walk away cuz she needed to figure out how she truely felt and i didn't want to influence her decision...well, she decided, and here we are...I even proposed to her in my goofy way cuz i was so nervous i just couldn't keep a serious face, and got a 'oh-my-god-you're-so-crazy-but-it's-a-yes' response...



I just needed to add that the comment about the nice view was brought up only about 6 months ago..turned out that all this time, when I agreed on the nice view, she thought I meant her ass! well, i was actually, honestly talking about the NY view...of course I had to agree..she does have a nice butt...

Today I was at school getting something for an assigned project, we didnt have school this whole week for some odd reason. Well, I happend to bump into this girl named Stormy who I've had a crush on for quite sometime, I ended up falling down the stairs (they just call me Grace at school.). I guess stormy knew I liked her and she helped me up and asked me if I wanted to go out and get some coffee with her and talk for a little while and I agreed, and before she left she said. " I really like you, and i just wanted to know if you wanted to go out sometime if you aren't busy..and only if you want to." and I walked home after that with a great big grin on my face and I was dancing all the way into my room singing random songs, I think I scared my parents because they havent seen me this happy since i Got a puppy for Christmas and that was when I was 9

My girl and I met in Utah in college, I was rebounding hard from my first relationship with a woman. She stuck it out, 5 years, 7 months and 22 days later we're finally getting married in March. ***Girl on girl action is definately where its at.



Oh, welcome to the board.

I refuse to believe that this is all. ~~Xiren Everything

[Patches]

I don’t really know how to tell this properly, but here goes. Was one of the strangest nights of my life, I’d just come home from NYC Stonewall 25 (one of the wildest and most incredible weekends of my life) and ran into someone I was kinda interested in (you know the early chemistry thing) who was out with friend and her date – both of whom lived in another city. To make a long and complicated story short – by the end of a very long night, my “chemistry” girl ended up with her friend, and I ended up with the friend’s date.



I don’t know what it was or how it happened but we just clicked in a way I’d never thought possible. She was (and I’m not kidding) the woman I’d dreamed of since I was a kid. Meeting her was complete déjà vu. We’ve been together for over 8 years now and for the last 6 we’ve live and worked together – we’re together all the time. One of the more interesting things is this is the first relationship for both of us – I guess we’re lucky.



Our friends told us it wouldn’t last, “first” relationships “never” do. All we said to each other was we’ll stay together until the day comes that one of us wakes up and decides she doesn’t want to be here anymore. It doesn’t matter if it’s next week, next year or 10 years, no regrets, no remorse, and if that day never comes then we will sit together in our rocking chairs at the old folks home and remember the night we were out looking for other people and found each other. We didn’t start with forever, but it seems like that’s where we’re headed.



Am waiting, hoping, praying that by the time our 10th anniversary rolls around marriage will finally be legal and my Cinderella story will have the ending we (all) deserve.

[cassiopeia191]

Well, maybe this doesn't actually count because I haven't exactly made a move...but today, I realized that I am so totally in love with my friend...I've seen her around for 7 years (well, we were 10 ten) now but never actually got to know her until this year...we have similar schedules, a lot of classes and all free periods together...I could have written this in the secret crush thread but it's not just some harmless attraction, folks!



She's funny, she's smart, she's sooo cute and wonderful and sometimes really silly and shy but everything she does makes me care for her even more. I love the way she smiles at me when she feels helpless or how she looks at me when I make mean jokes, how she articulates herself so well without believing in her ability to do so or the way she dances to Reggae and looks at me disapprovingly when I go for a smoke (a habit I kicked recently)

I love our talks and our discussions, when we go out on the weekends; man, I even like to study with her! She really is special and the last months with her have been the greatest time (although the rest of my life has been true hell, no kidding)... I'm not just crushing on her, I just really really want to get to know her and let her be a part of my life. This is the first time I ever felt like letting someone in close to me.. so she is my Ms. Right, that's for sure and I haven't ever been so serious about someone. Could someone please tell her to fall in love with me?

[Shinnen]

I'm very much in with my gf. We met online thanks to Willow and Tara posting boards. We've talked to each other since last July but things were platonic But since we both went through a lot with our break ups... we grew closer... eventually... understanding each other's needs and desires.



One thing she makes different for me is the fact i don't wake up depressed in the mornings anymore (it's been far too long... years even since the last time i woke up happy and not suicidal and half dead with a fake smile plastered on my face)... I wake up happy and all bouncy at least i have someone to dream of at work. I love the attention she gives me, the little offline messages and the sms messages i look at constantly when i'm feeling all agitated and frustrated at work. It brightens up my day.



She makes my heart soar every night we talk and i look forward to going home after work so that I can talk to her.



Meeting someone online isn't a bad thing after all. Hoping for the best this summer.



Heh heh... I'm going to bed feeling all warm and snuggly. Dreaming of a certain blonde haired blue eyed loving french gf.

I was lurking around on an IRC chatroom and every now and then we had meets. I actually only met my gf because she had arranged to meet a friend of mine. And this friend of mine (whom I had also met through the chatroom) never met anyone new without me.



I originally had no intention of meeting my gf cause I thought she was snobby!



Anyway, two weeks later I organised an IRC meet for her birthday (it was a really good excuse and the best turn out for that chatroom ever!) and it went from there.



I thought we were just friends until she confessed she had feelings for me....took me over 4 weeks to realise that I returned those feelings. She's the first gf I've had btw.....4.5 years on, we're living together, bought our second house together and getting married on our 5 year anniversary

I met my girl online, I had put up an ad in a tiny debatroom.. and she was the first and only one who responded (appearently I'm weird ).



Her first mail was soo WOW , so of course I asked her to marry me.. aaand she said yes.. and that's the way it began.

I'm such a newbie at this love thing, and usually when I meet a girl who's like talking to me.. I'm all with the nodding and not really saying anything, even online, I'm so shy that you'd think that I was lying, but I'm not... cute,smart girl talking to me... Whooosh .. and then I'm gone.

But this time, this girl, she was as weird as me, and I could/can talk with her bout everything and nothing.. like both of us can't get ourselves to move our cats if they've fallen asleep in our laps (did that make sense).

She was in England when I asked her to marry me, and now she's back in Denmark (where I am too, yay), but still we haven't actually seen each other.. but we will soon enough. Until then, my phonebill is larger than EVER, coz I don't really like to talk on the phone, until now with my girl.

It's crazy, my mom says I'm crazy, "How can you know you love her, when ya haven't even met her"... I've met her, I'm sure I have.

Like my girl said, she knew I loved her before I knew she existed... and she's right. It's sound a little to good to be true, and maybe it is.. but right now I don't care



Within every second lies the oppotunity to change and make a difference, fullfill a dream, be yourself, live your life... take that chance.

Reading this thread puts a grin on your face fit to split you in two!



My wife and I get teased horribly for how we met – it was kinda original to be fair.



I grew up in a loving Christian family, but spent my teens struggling with the fear that God would hate what I was, and eventually came out the other side to realise that actually He loves us for simply being the things of beauty that Hecreated. It was a hard journey and at first I cursed my sexuality as I perceived it to be the thing that was going to make me have to choose between the God and church family I loved and being happy in life. Now I view it as the blessing that brought me closer to Him and to my true self, and that gave me knowledge of how life should be lived. And loved! For most of you, this is probably irrelevant stuff but I know that there will be a few Christian Kittens reading and perhaps seeing themselves in my words. So bear with me...



I made a bit of a deal with Him when I was 19 that I’d be with whoever He wanted, including men, as long as He made it 100% clear that it was right. I waited a few long years, hoping desperately I wouldn't be waiting forever.



I wandered into a cathedral at lunch one day, just to be quiet for a bit and take a look at the place. I found a tiny chapel off one corner. When I realised the woman sitting near me was quietly crying and looking like she desperately needed a hug, I got up to offer one or a listening ear. She told me she’d had an awful month but was hesitant to tell me why. Eventually she took a deep breath and blurted that she’d come out to her parents and they’d told her they never wanted to see her again. She finally looked up at me, expecting to see the rejection she’d sadly come to expect from Christians, and instead found me blankly staring at her like a moppet because I realised I’d just found her!



It was pretty much on the spot realisation for both of us. Terrribly holy, to have found each other in a church, huh?! We spent that day together, walking, talking, laughing. She stayed at mine that night and her falling asleep in my arms felt like coming home.



9 years, two beautiful kids, and a million other nights when I knew I am only truly at home in her arms, she is still my girl and I still love her with everything in me.



The church is often a scary place to be when you’re young, gay and not at all sure of where you stand on the whole God vs. sexuality debate. Jesus’ true message has kinda been largely screwed up down the centuries in a mammoth game of Chinese Whispers. But I guess what I want to say to the Christian Kitties is that finding your path with God is way more important than finding the church’s path for you.

I met my gf online 3 years ago at a music message board. I was 22 she was 20. She was in Ohio I was in Georgia. I had just moved to Atlanta 1 month prior for a job. I was by myself and didn't know a single person in this huge city. I posted a story and some pictues about meeting some celebrities in Atlanta, and she emailed me for some reprints of the pics. She is a huge music lover and a fan of the band. So that's when we started emailing each other. And I got reprints of the pictures and she mailed me the money for them. From there we just started talking more and more. I had no idea she was gay. I didn't even know for sure if I was. Had attractions but never been with a women before. I wasn't comfortable with my sexuality back then. We had a lot in common and had some very interesting conversations. Our first topics of interest was music and movies. We really connected and things started to get more and more personal, 'til one night she just asked me if I though I might be gay. I don't even remember what prompted that question, but then she quickly tried to backpedal her way out of it. I was shocked at her bluntness but I answered an honest "I don't know, I may be". I mean I've thought about being with a woman. I have been attracted to them. That's when she told me she was gay. And asked me if I would stop talking to her because of it. I was like "No silly" :oP So then our conversations went to sexuality and love and dreams. We got into some real intense and emotional convos. The thing was she had a "girlfriend"...well this other girl she was talking to online about 4 months before she started talking to me. I would stay at work til 3 & 4 am, talking to her online (didn't have a computer of my own at the time). I lived alone so I didn't have anything else better to do. We chatted on IM for a couple of months and I wanted to hear her voice so I told her to call me. She didn't think it would be cool for her to call me cuz of her other girl. I was like "fine I'll call you and that way you dont have to feel guilty or whatever" lol We talked for like 2 hours that first night. The more we talked the more I wanted to talk to her. Taking turns calling to split the phone bill. We started to talk to each other every night. And when I didn't talk to her for a couple of days I just felt like something was missing. I thought about her all the time. I got really scared by the connection we obviously had, I could feel myself falling for her. I've never been in love with anyone and the 1st person I fall for is a female? I'll never forget the first time she said those 3 words to me (well even though I didn't actually hear them clearly LOL!) We were talking on the phone and I was all eXXXcited to be talking to her. We had been talking for about 6 months. And I was babbling on about something. And I heard her whisper or mumble something. But since I was concentrating on telling my story I didn't hear it. So I asked her what she said and she told me "nothing". And then she got quiet. I figured if she wanted to tell me she would so I left it alone. About 3 days later we were chatting online and she brought up the convo we had that night. She told me that she did say something but then she was afraid of how I would react. She said I sounded so cute babbling and giggling that she couldn't help herself. She whispered "I LOVE YOU" in the middle of our convo. And she held her breath and got quiet after she said it cuz it was an impulse that she couldn't take back. But I didn't catch it anyway . Our phone bills SKYROCKETED into the next galaxy at light speed. I was putting myself in debt. We were like "Oh we gotta meet!". All the $$$ we are spending on phone calls could be going toward plane tickets.



She told her sister about me and her mom knew that we were talking but didn't know the nature of our relationship. Then her mom found out about us (cornered her lil sis for info and her sis cracked under the pressure LOL) and told her to stop talking to me. She said "no" and you know how parents are with their "if you live under MY roof then you will follow MY rules" and I will NOT have a gay daughter. Needless to say it was "leave her alone or leave my house!". So she left, and moved in with her boss and his wife (stayed on their couch for a couple of months). Then she mentioned coming to move with me. I nearly panicked. Didn't think it was a good idea since we had only been talking for like 10 months and I hadn't even met her. Plus the fact that I recently had a apartment and roommate in college and didn't like it at all. I didn't know how I'd handle living with another person. But I thought about it for a couple of days and warmed up to the idea (it would be cool to have a "roommate"). All my other roommates were strangers and we just decided to shack up with to save on bills. But I knew I liked her. Then she called me at work about a change of plans. She said that she talked to her grandfather and he suggested that she take the wait and see approach ; that she didn't want to move down and then have things not work out. So she would visit for a week or 2 and see how things go. I felt like she was rejecting me and that she didn't want to be with me. I was crushed. I actually cried after we got off the phone. That's when I knew that I REALLY wanted her to come because I was kinda lonely in the apartment by myself.



A month later she visited. And things worked out SO great. Wasn't really different from the phone convos we had. But she was WITH me, in person. That's what made it so special. When I saw her get off that plane she was SO beautiful. I smiled so big. We hugged and I was thinking "Mmmmm...she feels so good in my arms." We took the shuttle to the parking deck and she grabbed my hand to hold it, and I swear I felt a bolt of electricity shoot up my arm and to the pit of my stomach. WoW! That week she stayed with me - it was the best week of my life (at the time) We had so much fun. I actually had no intention of DEFINITELY sleeping with her when she visited. We talked about it on the phone (you know being sexy and sensual), wanting that experience but just thinking whatever happens, happens. That all flew out the window the night I picked her up and the airport. We actually had an itenerary of plans that night that fell thru the first time she kissed me. Didn't think I'd really know what to do with a girl since I never did anything and she never really did much either, but MY GODDESS it was amazing! Then about 2 months later. I moved into our new apt and she moved all her stuff in and we've been together for over 3 years. It's been incredible. Now I get to look into those beautiful eyes everyday. Awwww...she has the most beautiful eyes... She's so cute when she smiles, her eyes get all squinty. Ok I will stop. This story has gotten REALLY long (LOL). I'm all smiling just telling it. Ahhhhh...the memories I my sweetie

How did I meet my girl? Well that’s a kind of long but magical story.



Short Version – We were set up (inefficiently) by friends.



Long Version – I was very good friends with a couple. One of them had been my roommate for over a year. Let’s call my friend “A” and her girlfriend “B” (seriously, not just Algebra here; their names begin with A & B). So B is in a womens’ choir and they tell me they have a girl for me to meet. Now understand, I was actually looking. I had gone through a breakup a few years earlier and spent a while getting my head straight (ok, not straight) and thinking about what I wanted. I made a list, a long list, of the characteristics I wanted in a woman (smart, funny, out, spiritual, etc.). Then I gave it to friends and told them to be on the lookout. So they look over the list and decide that we would be perfect for each other because, get this: we both talk about sex a lot. That’s right, not because she’s spiritual or smart or funny…



So B’s birthday was coming up and A wanted to throw her a surprise B-day party after choir practice one day. She tells me that I can come help her bring the pizza & cake and etc. and she’ll set me up with this girl. So I go to the choir thing. We set up the pizza & cake and A is busy with B and all her friends so I survey the room. I look around and find the cutest girl there and she’s in the middle of like 4 -5 girls telling a funny story and singing a song she wrote. So I go over there, insert myself into the group and start talking to the cute girl. She and I totally hit it off joking and making each other laugh. But I’m thinking I’d better go and meet the girl that A wants me to meet. So I say see you later.



I go over to A and she is like, “hey I see you found Rachel, cool.” Now I’m like “oh great, now I gotta go reinsert myself into the conversation again.” Meanwhile when I walked off everyone turns to Rachel and says, “so how long have you two been friends?” She says we just met and they can’t believe it. I go over reinsert myself into the conversation but she’s gotta go.



Ok, next week at practice, B decides to feel out Rachel for her interest. Does she say “hey, did you like my friend Debra”? Does she say “do you want to go out with Debra”? Bring me up at all? No, she says, “what kind of woman do you like?” Rachel says, “huh?” B says, “you know like butchy or femme?” Rachel says, “uh, I guess more femmy.” Well, B thinks ok, she’s not interested (believe me, I don’t fall into the femmy category.) Case closed right???



A month goes by and A & B have a party. I’m not there because I have the flu. (Rachel is helping me write this part now). A grabs Rachel at the end of the party and says “so why didn’t you like Debra?” And she’s like, “Debra who?” (boy did I make an impression right?) So A says the girl who came to B’s birthday party and Rachel is like “oh, I thought she was great; I just didn’t know her name.” Then the interrogation began! They grilled Rachel for over an hour and passed on copious but mostly vague and incorrect information about me.



So A calls me and tells me all about the party and I ask her some questions and she can’t remember anything about Rachel! The only information she has is 1. Rachel’s phone #, 2. No she’s not Jewish, and 3. she’s vegetarian. (all that information took an hour?!?!).



We talk on the phone to set up a date and it’s fantastic. We’re joking and making each other laugh and totally fitting. We set up a date but agree that since first dates are so awkward, let’s just have the second date first and later we can go back and have the first. That second date was amazing. We had dinner under a full moon and listened to music for hours. I’ve never laughed so hard in my life. I’d say I was in love by the end of the date. That’s over 3 ½ years ago.



Ok, I tried to make is as short as I can. Honestly, I consider our relationship to be a holy and magical thing. My advice to anyone who wants a gf is two-fold: 1. think about what you want and start to put it out into the universe and 2. participate in the hobbies you like; that way you will meet other women who like to do the same things you like. Even if you don’t meet a woman, at least you are doing what you enjoy.

So I am one of those people who really has no clue as to what team they play for. I personally have never been on a date, such is my sad existence. I am really not sure right now and there is really no one I can talk to about it. My parents have no clue and my grandma would seriously disown me if I did come out, but that's just the thing. I don't know if I am or if I am not. This really sucks cause my head is so messed up and I can't really think straight when it comes right down to it. I just wish that I could figure things out, but like I said, I have no one to talk to about it. Every person around me would judge me big time and then totally go off on me. So, yeah, I wish I could contribute something to this thread, but I guess I can't really.
