| "Hey maybe we should go to the Roost together"
Eh? As in everyone from the forum?
That would totally be an experience.

| I'd be in ... but there's pretty much only one free weekend that I have left in Edmonton before I move to BC for school ... so if you want to do the Roost on the 20th then count me in (sorry, august is a traditionally a bad month for me to do things because it's usually full of camping followed by moving for school)

August 20th?  Oooh sure! Pick the *one* day that i'm totally "booked"
My grandparents are having this huge thing to celebrate their:
- birthdays [on the same day - oma is turning 60, my opa is turning 65]
- their 40th wedding aniversary
- 25 years in canada, aaaand
- my opa's retirement..
Celebrating them all on that *one* day because that's when family from out of town will be here.
BAH. August is a bad month. It's full of last minute celebration/parties/camping/outtings/school registering and orientations... It's an ugly month *bursts into tears*
You just *had* to move, eh... The forum finally gets people and you have to leave 
...The city will miss you.
But friday could be considered part of the weekend, eh, how about the 19th? Or... something.
...

| | Considering you are the moderator and God of this forum, it's only fair that you be included in all IRL activities that... the people on this forum... have planned... or something! *shifty eyes* the forum layout changed...
This is very scary.
Have a good time camping, eh! and have a safe move if we don't talk to you before then.
Cheers ^o^

| Oh, yeah, totally with you on the "how to find ppl" problem. And the worst part is that it's not correlated with your years. Even if you came out two decades ago, or are in your 60s, you can still run into that Social Sahara Desert situation where you have problems hooking up with like-minded folks.
I've been stuck with nothing but straight friends when it comes to my once-a-month D&D gaming group and my World of Warcraft LAN buddies. They can be great to hang with, but they just don't understand when I say that I'd like some...well, GAYNESS at the table for a change.
It's not just nightclubbing - I think some of our straight friends just don't get that, no matter what the group is doing, there's a completely different atmosphere when it's a group of "sistahs".
We talk about marriage from a different perspective 'cause we so recently won the right to it. (I know it's cheesy, but I like to equate it with what women in the early century must have been like when they got the vote  ) We talk about raising kids, cancer, worship, household chores, job hunting, even clothing & makeup from a completely different perspective. There's a comfort in discussing trivial or common topics in a group where people all come from a very similar perspective. |

| With me I find that it's not only hard to find people that are like minded in the community but most people in general. Guess that's just one of the many ways kooky.

| hahah im totally just like u...im so shy at first but once u get to know me u will think im so crazy...im really open after a while...but yeah i dont know how people just get out and talk to other people,...my girlfriend wants to take me to the pride center...well i wanna go..i wanna get more involved...but there is no way i could go alone becuase its hard enough being gay lol..being gay and being a loner is just twice as bad..thats how i see it...i always see that youth understanding youth thing in see magazine...maybe thats a place to go for u...the roost is really fun...so like going with a friend who is straight and no offended by gay people might be ur ticket...because then you can hit on girls...and ur still not alone so if u dont have a dancing partner your friend is there for yah!  |

| | Hey, don't worry you're not alone. This is my first time on this site. I live outside of Edmonton in a smaller city and it's even harder here, plus my friends all know but won't go anywhere with me. I'm not a shy person, but hanging out in a bar in Edmonton alone...that scares me with everything that happens these days. I go online a lot too, but mostly i find married women who want something on the side, or someone to live with her and her husband...thats not for me. To all who have this problem good luck (and if you find anywhere good to hang out let me know) plus, what goes on at the pride center?
There are people who touch our lives and our hearts.
