What are you thinking?

Found this on kym, and angry why more people aren't like this:

My mother just got home maybe five minutes ago, and she's already managed to make me feel worse than I already did, and I didn't think that was possible at this point.

 

Went to Starbucks. I'm presenting male (first time out in public in forever ), and I go up and order my drink. The guy doesn't sir me. Doesn't ma'am me either- you can kind of tell he's avoiding guessing (and I've gotta commend him for it- better that than being ma'am'd). But he's not too awkward around me, seems like a nice guy.

He asks my name. So I tell him. "Oh, it's Byron."

Asks me to spell it. "Okay. B-y-r-on."

It isn't until I've left, been nursing on my coffee for a bit that I realize he wrote "Byra" on the side.

:dry:

 

I don't think he said this in the context I'm thinking, but this is the best way I see the whole "parents not explaining what being gay/bi/trans is to their kids because they won't understand it".

 

Loudness outside my dorm room makes me want to stay in and hide...damn social anxiety.

So my dad finally admitted to being racist. Well, he said he is possibly a bit racist.
That he wasn't until he joined the army. That's sad.
This is really pretty big for him though I suppose. He's always so defensive when I ask why he says certain things that sound questionable to me.

Sucks that I'm not able to respond to the things he says in the moment. I guess he thinks that means I don't know what I'm talking about and I'm wrong.
I said he didn't have to stay that way, people make mistakes. But he is going to stay that way because he will get killed if he doesn't? If he's not racist? Well, I'm not dead yet.. I mean what is he talking about when he says Obama told teachers not to punish kids if they're black when they do something wrong, or to let it slide or something like that? :/ I don't even know what he's talking about and I'm too mentally tired to go figure it out. He's always saying weird things. He believes all of the tea party/right wing/conservative conspiracies. Well, maybe someday I can explain things to him. But he could be dead by then with all of his health problems.

 

Been out and about all day. Yeah, it's been great. Got my ass to Guitar Center- picked up bunch of small things I needed. Guitar cleaner- Lulu's been looking scuffy.

Seriously. I'm a free man today.

 

Someone sent me a message on a dating site earlier today, so I just clicked on his profile to look at it. He must have been online and saw that I was looking at his profile because thirty seconds later I get this: "I didn't mean to message you - you're not very cute by any means"

Really? Is that really necessary? Just send a message saying that you contacted me by mistake, you don't need to insult me in the process...:dry:

 

I put a video of birds on my TV to see what my cat would do.

 

Well, that's just rude. You should've said something like, "Oh thank god, I thought I was going to have to pretend to be interested."

 

Is he blind?

Anyway, that's really rude. I guess he's not the sort who'll get into many good long-term relationships.

 

I second this. He must be blind.

 

Went to an Interfaith Shabbat today and it was quite amazing. There was also some really good food, and I tried Matzo Ball soup for the first time.

 

I think I am an experiment for my room mates..

 

OK, as a quasi-emissary from the "straight" world, this might be tactics of sorrts. Have heard only a few dozzen times from guys about their tip strategy for getting a female's interest was by putting them down for their looks. Could be this guy's bu and thought it would work on a gay guy. "

 

Something like that would only work with someone who has little self-esteem to begin with; anyone else would immediately be turned off before quickly moving on.

 

My eyes went straight to the box of Toblerone Chocolate on the entertainment center.

 

Yah, unfortunately you don't have to be a social scientist to resgister fro a dating site.

 

It might have just been a mistake, albeit an ironic one. You can never win with those shops though. My name is phonetically spelled, but the spelling is still quite uncommon. Rather than waste the time, I often tell them that my name is just J/Jay. They still find a way to ruin it though.

Oh, the times I have walked out of the store and read May or something that wasn't even close to the name I gave. I've even gotten Hay before; I'm starting to question whether these incidents are actually accidental...

Well, clearly this message wasn't meant for you either. Didn't someone else make a shitty comment about you a few months ago, or was that a different site? Doesn't sound like the best batch of fellows.
