    That sounds like a pretty reasonable situation, Siobahn

    I was kind of hoping for at least word of a chair having been tossed, even as an aside, TBH

    Well, everyone involved is or seems to be a reasonable person.

    Kissing is wonderful because it means you are with someone who wants to kiss you.

    Not necessarily.

    bit late with this but I wanted to pick it up

    anyway, related story from a girl I know

    she celebrated her birthday on friday

    and she got very drunk

    and was badgering a buddy to drink more beer at some point

    so he took a deep sip of the beer

    then open mouthed kissed her while holding her so she couldn't escape and gave her the beer back.

    she thought this was an odd thing to do for a man with a girlfriend.

    good way to say "no, shut up, I don't want more beer" clearly, though!

    gave her the beer back as in CPR mouth-to-mouth but with beer.

    And the bar is stocked aside from gin since they ran out of the local distillery one and I really want to try them. I can pick it up tomorrow. Also, a cocktail shaker.

    Buy my local gin. The glorious gin is all the gin anyone ever needs.

    They're based out of Evanston and have old timey images of the World's Columbian Exposition for their labels. It's like...the opposite of kryptonite for me.

    I've been trying to figure out the correct way to ask since she came out the other day, but I can't seem to 100% get it. Was the AR/Atomika born male or not? I only ask because I'm trying to get some older posts straight in my head from her and I'm just not sure if she was re-writing them from the perspective of somebody who wasn't out or what. Sorry if I'm using the wrong terms here, but the trans label has so much under it's umbrella it's hard to be sure what we're talking about. Take it to pm's if desired.

    Born male annnnnddddd trans and that's about as specific as it's possible to get.

    Not like, out of much reason except the fact that this stuff is really hard to figure out even in the thick of it.

    no necessary because if she jerked her head away the spit muddled beer would have spilled everywhere and nobody wants that.

    I'm going to really miss Atomika. Logging in and have the notification of her good-bye message today was one of the biggest bummers I've had in a long time.

    I really get the marital self-imposed ban issues and how complicated those things can be. My wife and I have had fights / issues about much less complicated things and I've left boards to keep things together.

    I just hope she and her wife can work everything out and get through this / get what they need. It sucks not having her here, but that little bit missing from here every day (EDIT - not to downplay her contrib to the board) is a small price to pay if it helps her and her wife get through what I'm pretty sure is one of the more difficult / complex things anyone would deal with.

    Ha

    I cannot describe the weird emotions that came with my good bye message.

    But they were weird.

    I hope everything works out too, and I do think leaving the forums is a good idea in this particular situation.

    When someone tries giving me a beer and I don't want to drink the beer I just don't take the beer. I think my way is better.

    Cronotrigger is incredible, no doubt, but I think FF6 edges it out. Any of that, FF6 or FFT are totally acceptable choices for best Japanese RPG ever.

    I thought that FF6 made better use of its ensemble cast, though Chrono Trigger had the better setting.

    And I just replayed FFT, and I think it suffered from not having a consistent, distinct enemy like Kefka opposing you throughout. I honestly couldn't name most of the guys who end up with Zodiac Stones.

    These kind of things are almost always kinda murky, but her state of being is her own, ya know? Just wanted to make sure I had at least a semi-correct narrative for her post history.

    If I can assert my straight white male privilege for a moment and make everything about me, on the plus side, I did not bat an I when Atomika came out, once I figured out what happened. "I guess Atomic Ross is a woman now. I hope it goes well for her" was my initial reaction. That's a p. big deal for me.

    I'm not sure if I've ever been there.

    I know that I've never stopped moving forward with regards to transition because I remember being stuck and knowing if I stop I might not be able to start again? I'm not sure if that's the same. Either way : (

    This is basically how I feel every minute of every day. I get through it by setting realistic goals and managing my own expectations.

    Am I going to get a job soon? No, probably not, but I can put in X amount of applications and call Y companies.

    Am I going to lose a bunch of weight really fast? No, but I can eat smaller portions and less fat and go for my runs and do my free/body weight routine every day.

    Okay, I should start getting ready for the Gatsby party. Unfortunately I don't have a tuxedo yet, so I'm torn. I'll be wearing a 3 piece mid-grey worsted suit and I don't know if I should go with a navy and white polka dot bowtie or a black satin bowtie. The latter is basically black tie otherwise, and more formal (and more night club feel) but it seems wrong to wear with a grey suit.

    Bah, someone needs to put a cheap vintage 36R dinner jacket on eBay so I don't have these problems.
