Attention is always nice. I always had a hard time getting guys to give me a second glance, much less any direct attention. Still do when I'm out and about.

I dunno...is the way I am a turn-off for guys? I might be a little out there when it comes to being sexual, but otherwise I don't think I'm different from other guys. *shrugs*

For some people probably. I'm very frank about my sexuality and discuss it in a rather blunt manner. A lot of people find that to be a weird thing, like I'm supposed to tiptoe around it in metaphor and poetry. But that's not me. And if people don't like it they can take a hike. There will be people out there who find your nature endearing and sexy. But I don't know that you're in the right area for that to be honest.

I for one find bluntness and straightforwardness to be a turn-on when it comes to sex, to be honest. Nothing like someone just coming out and saying "I'm horny" or state that they're masturbating atm.

It makes for a nice chat.

Especially when it gets others to join in the fun!

That's just icing on the cake. Except the icing is cum...or something.

So I just got a coupon on Steam for Dawn of War 3. I won't buy the game in the usage period of the coupon so who wants it?

God, I am starting to hate html parsing and web scraping, to an extent. So many things I have to manage. However hopefully my efforts will be useful to some other people, along to what I plan to do.

My sister won't stop beating me at five card. I just taught her how to play what is this?

There's a guy on grommr whose username is Bitch_McConnell. This amuses me greatly.

There's a State Farms office nearby ran by "Michael Mandick"

I think he should go by Mick.

Hmm... reminds me of that character GRRM snuck into ASOIAF:

http://awoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/Dickon_Manwoody

When GRRM first mentioned the Rainbow Guard for the main gay character in the books, I thought, okay, maybe he's British or something like the Harry Potter writer turned out to be, maybe words don't mean the same thing over there, like when they call fries "chips", or say ma'am in a way that sounds like mom, or when they say math as if it's a plural. And then here comes Dickon Manwoody, and it's like, okay, I don't care if you learned English in the USA, Britain, Canada, Australia, or an African country the British Empire decided was theirs hundreds of years ago and forced the natives to learn English at gunpoint, there's no way you name someone "Dickon Manwoody" by accident.

To be fair, Renly isn't exactly the main gay character (and neither is Loras); it's only hinted at and never actually confirmed within the main book series.

But GRRM actually has stated that the Rainbow Guard is a coincidence, though other clues (such as Renly's peach) are not.

But yeah, GRRM likes to sneak in some clever names in there. For example, Grover, Elmo, and Kermit Tully.

We're going to prepare this time, right?

Ain't that a peach.
And, sure, it could be an indicator to us of his homosexuality, but putting that aside, 'Rainbow Guard' has quite a bit of significance in Westeros anyway, since rainbows are very strongly associated with the Faith of the Seven, while still suggesting the 'seven bodyguards' of the Kingsguard without explicitly laying claim to the kingship. It was doubtless quite a PR coup if you ask me.
Well, if anyone had heard about it before he died, anyway.

Back to Dickon Manwoody: I routinely make him a Lord Paramount in some fashion whenever I run the ASOIAF mod for CK2, simply because his name is too amazing to do otherwise; quite the coup for a Dornish second son. But also because a lot of land falls into my lap whenever I finally finish cleaning house after the events of the War of Five Kings. You'd be surprised how many people really, really need to take the black (everyone).
One day I'll do it as Daenarys. One day.

Not to mention the main goal of simply differentiating from the plain white of the Kingsguard.
