No offense androol, but that is a very naive comment.

BIG WELCOMES TO BIJOUL :D I know what you mean about the club scene. I actually love clubbing but only because I cut off from the world and the people and emerse myself in the music and dancing like a raving freak. It's one of my passions. I get very annoyed if people interrupt me and particularly angry if people try hitting on me.

Same here.... I'm done with the bar scene. Aside from climbing out of my skin just at social functions, and that is even with people I know fairly well, I just can't handle it. But we'll see, I get to go see RENT tommorrow and I'm very excited. I pray I don't have to drug myself too much. :)

I got to see RENT a couple of weeks ago and it was awesome. are you is it the broadway tour with Adam and Anthony? I never go out to clubs or parties because of all the people. I don't mind crowded theaters though.

Harry Potter is in theaters in mid July. The last couple in the series were very, very terrible. I think this one (Halfblood Prince) will be much better.

The Deathly Hallows book was not very good - the last movies of harry potter have the potential to be very bad too.

Image the young tom riddle is cute.

Hello and welcome.

Is there a "straight scene?"

As for the "club scene" I don't think you'd find people like me there. I am a night owl who doesn't like nightlife. ;)

Every time I go to the theatre or opera I have to drug myself almost to the point of knocking me out to enjoy myself, we won't even talk about going alone.

Hmm. Those are things I do not have any problem with. If I am sitting in a dark room watching a performance I am not expected to be socializing with people, am I?

Not that I even really have anything against socializing, if I see a point to it. If hypothetically I were an opera buff, I'm sure I'd enjoy talking to other people about opera. But talking about a subject of mutual interest is only one type of social situation.

I have lots of online friends of all sexual orientations. Real life is another story. (Actually most of the people I hang out with in real life are straight, and I am not "close" to most of them even if I enjoy their company.)

I think he was being ironic.

The thought of me dancing is somehow utterly horrifying.

I guess I am not a physically expressive person.

I am not musical either but if I am going to listen to music I prefer to do it alone in a dark room with no distractions.

I don't "get" the idea of nightclubs - the whole concept seems quite dreadful to me.

I like people if they're people I like. Er, I'm not expressing myself there.

I have no problem with people per se. I like some people and enjoy spending time with them. I do not care to spend time with random people though.

And yes, things like crowded theaters do not bother me at all - I have no problems with crowds in which I am anonymous and everyone is quiet and minding their own business. I can just ignore the other people then. ;)

I'd agree with the Goblet of Fire, but I still liked OOTP even if they cut out like 2/3 of the story. Personally I loved The Deathly Hallows and am very excited for the last two movies. What about it didn't you like?

I'm never around a lot of people that I like as I don't know very many people. I've always assumed it's just being in close proximity to many bodies that makes me uncomfortable. brushing and bumping together. I like places like theaters where everyone is seated and minding their own business quietly.

I really liked the Philosopher's Stone. Chamber of Secrets was pretty good too. Harry Potter went down hill starting with Prisoner of Azkaban. Goblet of Fire was starting to get really bad. Order of the Phoenix was a little embarrasing. The Deathly Hallows seemed a little sloppy to me.

I think the Philosopher's Stone and Half-Blood Prince will be the best 2 of all HP.

I was never as big a fan of the first two. I know they are technically kids stories and I was like 12 at the time but I always felt they were too kidish. I had always liked the Prisoner of Azkaban at least in part because it was more grown up from the other two. I was also happy to see them do away with all the Victorian styling. I also liked the editing in that one. I thought they did a good job with getting rid of story without messing up the rest of the series like in Goblet of fire or Order of the Phoenix. Half-Blood Prince WILL be one of the best movies though....unless they're hiding a major screw up. I've heard some rumors that I'm really hoping aren't true.

what did you take to stay calm? Did you notice how the rest of the audience was reacting? When I saw it everyone was really in to it. they all seemed to know the show really well.

I use Clonazepam when I'm in the theatre. Main issues I have are before the show, intermission and after the show. Too much conversation, noise, movement and frustration. Once it was dark i noticed that the people loved it. It wasn't a virgin crowd and people got kinda rowdy in many parts. Only reason why it didn't annoy me is that the show is so mature they know that this is going to happen with the fans and allow for it in the pacing of the show, therefor nothing was missed by people that wanted to see the whole thing.

But I will be honest, I did "Mooo...." I love that part. :)

Well.... now that I hijacked the thread momentarily... I'll try to bring it back on topic... :roll:

Do you see any similarities and/or differences in gay AS/NT relationships vs. straight AS/NT relationships?
