Subject: ? A very personal question, for Hoshiko, Mandi-Chan, and J.T.-kun ONLY

Highlight the folowing to read.

If you are in love with a guy in any mannor except sexually, does that make you gay?

I ask this because several year ago, when Truman and I were going to the same school, we used to be real close. I wanted to spend as much time as possible with him. He was my first real... friend. After a while these feelings started to get stronger... I was physically atracted to girls, but a felt these strong emotional ties to Tru. I felt as though I could share anything with him, and often did. In fact, when I created Liam, Tru was the model, more or less. Red hair, green eyes, pasty complexion, obsession with philosophy; all Truman. I added the depression.

When we graduated, he moved far north, and I had to stay in Wicker Park throughout high school and now college. I was devistated. I even cried. I alienated my grandmother for two years. I kept to myself. I didn't let myself get too close to anyone, even the two girlfriends I had just to prove to my peers that I wasn't gay (Ironic, ain't it?). I never felt as close to any person ever again until I met Amanda here.

I always had that idea in my head that love is love, is love; so I never question whether I was homosexual because of what I felt for Truman (Especially considering, and I stress this fact, that I was never SEXUALLY atracted to him), until now. So, what does this make me?

- [Info]Allow me to tell you what went wrong. I checked the source code of the page and you used GRAY as your text color. If you'll check the source code you'll find the background is SILVER. -- J. T. Magnus, Forum Admin, 20:52:52 02/24/03 Mon
So since this is a personal question for Hoshiko, Mandi, and J.T. does this mean I can't give an insight? (NT) -- DG, 15:28:03 02/24/03 Mon
- Well, now that everybody and their momma can see it, no. Speak your peace. (NT) -- Iggy., 16:30:24 02/24/03 Mon
  - Well you said that Truman was your first real friend. So maybe he became a close friend, someone that subconciously you connected to as a brother figure. So when he left you felt like you lost a brother. (NT) -- DG, 17:06:37 02/24/03 Mon
    - Hm. I would have to agree with DG's assessment of the situation. (NT) -- J. T., 17:38:33 02/24/03 Mon
  - Like they couldn't just ignore the "For The Eyes Of Hoshiko, J.T. and Amanda Only" title? (NT) -- J. T., 17:39:39 02/24/03 Mon
    - Hey we're MSTer's, not saints. (NT) -- DG, 18:05:56 02/24/03 Mon
      - Hm. (NT) -- J. T., 18:20:56 02/24/03 Mon
[Info]Hm. Well, there's something you have to understand first.... -- J. T. Magnus, who doesn't know Psychology, that's Star-chan's department, but does know Comradeship., 18:05:08 02/24/03 Mon
- Ironic, how you term it "suffering"... -- Star S., 14:10:39 02/25/03 Tue
  - But it was suffering. Eighth ge=rade was hell. Thanks for clearing it up for me. (NT) -- Iggy!, 14:37:55 02/25/03 Tue
    - Middle school's always hell. I got suspended in seventh grade for having a stomach ache(don't ask, I don't know why either. Gave me another reason to hate my parents, though). I wouldn't worry 'bout this anymore. What brought it up, anyway? (NT) -- Amanda Vegita-Williams Hashiba Curtindolph, 20:35:30 02/25/03 Tue
  - Hey, you're the PsychoLOGIST, I'm just the PSYCHO. ^_^ (NT) -- J. T., 16:42:33 02/25/03 Tue
[Info]Okay, I'm going to give you two answers for this, first one in compleate seriousness, second as something to make you feel better. To me, homosexuality is when you feel sexual feelings for someone of your own gender. So, by that definitan, don't worry. Now, the joke. Of course you're gay! You're happy with me, aren't ya? (Orgianal meaning of gay= happy) (NT) -- Amanda Vegita-Williams Hashiba Curtindolph, 20:23:35 02/25/03 Tue
- :~(And now for a deep, philosophical answer to your joke that may go over your head. -- Iggy., 15:37:30 02/26/03 Wed
  - "This is heavy..." (NT) -- J. T., 16:21:13 02/26/03 Wed
  - I got it. Why is when you post lately I feel like there's a cold hand over my heart, squeezing it until it bursts? (NT) -- Amanda Vegita-Williams Hashiba Curtindolph, 21:13:49 02/27/03 Thu
    - Um . . . are you talkin' to me, Amanda? (NT) -- Jim Ohki, 04:12:45 03/03/03 Mon
      - No, she was talking to Iggy/Daniel. (NT) -- Star S., 08:44:42 03/03/03 Mon
:~(A poem. -- Iggy!, 10:40:38 02/27/03 Thu
- Iggy, I would never tell someone who said something like that "you need to up the dosage" or one of the other lines you wrote. I would never be so cruel and heartless to anyone. I am sorry you see me this way... (NT) -- Star S., 14:55:30 02/27/03 Thu
- Iggy, I'm with Star on this, we've all had our bouts of depression, so we, most of us, *Here he shoots Spike a "Hatefilled Look Of Death"* Don't act like that when it's something serious. (NT) -- J. T. Magnus, 16:27:05 02/27/03 Thu
  - :~(I know. But sometimes it seems as though you guys are really distant. We hardly ever talk about anything serious anymore. Plus, I wrote that in a fit of Depression when I heard that Fred Rogers died today. (NT) -- Daniel, 17:37:11 02/27/03 Thu
    - Hm. (NT) -- J. T., 17:50:50 02/27/03 Thu
    - I heard too. I was kinda shocked, to be honest. So was the rest of my Drama class. Of course, a few years ago, I was kinda surpised to hear he was still alive. (NT) -- Amanda Vegita-Williams Hashiba Curtindolph, 21:18:56 02/27/03 Thu

    - :~(Gomen, Jim-san. -_- Depression makes me say things I don't mean. (NT) -- Iggy., 12:48:50 03/03/03 Mon
      - Depression either makes us say things that we do not mean, or it does not allow us to say anything at all. -- Star S., 13:48:07 03/03/03 Mon
    - >:-(Jim, I was not talking to you or about you. And the draft? I'm worried that they'll start it up again! We did not acuse you of anything, except for being a hormonaly-high man, which you are. Mihoshi, we have all been labled as SOMETHING. I am the fangirl MSTer, Joe's the hentai, you guys are the IFOS. Get over it. Ryoko, I do not care who I hurt, emotionally or phisicly, because no one ever cared if they hurt ME that way. And Ash, you are an idiot and need to blow up along with your Pikachu when JT and I agree on something. SO ALL OF YOU SHUT THE HELL UP! Thank you. (NT) -- Amanda Vegita-Williams Hashiba Curtindolph, 20:24:25 03/03/03 Mon
      - *Hands Ash a stick of dynamite.* Didn't I start the whole IFOS thing? (NT) -- J. T., 20:37:48 03/03/03 Mon
      - ...Just out of curiosity, what's my label? I was never informed... (NT) -- Star S., 22:59:42 03/03/03 Mon
        I think it was "Most Perfect Being Next To God Himself." ^_^ (NT) -- J. T., 23:54:07 03/03/03 Mon
    - 1. You're right, Mihoshi. It's the Intergalactic FLOATING Orgy Ship.
      2. *checks his calender* Nope, Slam the -Ohki Day isn't until June Seventh. (NT) -- J. T. Magnus, Forum Admin, 16:43:10 03/05/03 Wed
- A rebuttal . . . -- Jim and Mihoshi Ohki, Capt and First Officer, USS Millennium Eagle, 04:11:33 03/03/03 Mon
  - "LET'S BLITZ!" ^_^ (NT) -- J. T., 08:33:33 03/03/03 Mon
  - >:-(As I said, no one accused you of anything. Just shut up and leave me and Iggy alone. I do not care if you throw us out of the Syndicate when it gets fixed, because I will state my opinons, much like Menkin. If you don't like that, that's your damned problem. (NT) -- Amanda Vegita-Williams Hashiba Curtindolph, 20:29:57 03/03/03 Mon
    - Let me be blunt, AMANDA. Has ANYBODY, and I mean ANYBODY, tried to comfort me when I have a problem? NO. Why? I'm supposed to be the boss, the one who can do just about everything without even a hint of emotion. I try to help you out, and you bite my head off. Why that is, is beyond me. Now, as for throwing YOU out, keep flappin' your gums. Iggy and I have made amends, in case you didn't notice. I am trying here, and all I get in return from YOU is resistance. All I want to know is, why? I'm tryin' to be everybody's friend here . . . (NT) -- Jim Ohki, Founder, MST Syndicate, 03:25:06 03/04/03 Tue
      - I'll be blunt, as well, since it's a growing trend around here... -- Star S., 08:59:15 03/04/03 Tue

        Na, I just avoid being blunt because I normally don't like to offend people. However, I do not suffer fools well, and I will be blunt in their case, as I was with Amanda. (NT) -- Star S., 16:30:36 03/04/03 Tue
      - A message from the second youngest of the SI Sisters and an apology from the second eldest. -- Amanda Vegita-Williams Hashiba Curtindolph and DBVG Amanda, 20:47:24 03/05/03 Wed
        B-)It may have been in anger, but it's true, dammit. I'm a yes-man. And I'm proud of it. Yes-men and Yes-women make the big money! (Holds several $100 bills in his hand ^_^) (NT) -- Iggy!, 10:10:09 03/06/03 Thu
