Tori: Oh haha

Uke: Lol
Uke: It's not that

Tori: ....or do theyy have needs?

Uke: Yeah
Uke: Not every guy has the luxury of spending every night with a gorgeous woman :P

Tori: xD so you watch another guy having one?

Uke: Occasionally.. The norm is to watch girl on girl haha

Tori: I know this sounds weird but....do you (or boys) watch a vid more than twice?
Tori: Girl on girl? 0.0

Uke: Like the same vid?

Tori: Yea

Uke: You know.. Lesbian

Tori: Oh...yea

Uke: I've only ever watched one vid more than once and only because it was amazing :D

Tori: Amazing? How so?
Tori: Wait a sec! Dont tell me!!!!!

Uke: Why? Haha

Uke: Too fast? Hahaha

Tori: Yea

Uke: Byee

Tori: Yup

Tori: BYeE and thnx i guess


Question to discuss:
what do you think of porn?

Tori: Wow, good question.

Uke: Hi.

Tori: I don't really know what to think, on one side there's the fact I enjoy watching it occasionally, on the other I feel it's an awful thing.
Tori: It encourages unsafe sex, it gives people the wrong impression of what sex actually is and it changes our standards.

Uke: I hate it with a fiery passion.

Tori: Sometimes it lowers than, most of the time it highers them unnaturally.
Tori: Well, I can't hate it, because that'd be hypocritical - to be quite frank I don't get much sex and my imagination isn't all that, I rely on porn almost to relief myself when, well, you know.

Uke: I like girls with kitty ears and tail though.

Tori: We all do, man. We all do.

Uke: I'm not a man.

Tori: We all do, woman. We all do.

Uke: I'm not a woman.

Tori: We all do, we all do.

Uke: Good.

Tori: Nice chatting to you then, um... buddy.

Tori has disconnected


Question to discuss:
what do you think of porn?

Tori: I like it :P
Tori: I'm not sure about the morality of it
Tori: but I tend not to think about that :P

Uke: It's evil
Uke: Tool of the devil
Uke: y'all motherfuckers need jesus

Tori: It doesn't seem to affect me in other areas of life though
Tori: So I don't see really a problem

Uke: It's probably kinda healthy
Uke: Burning calories

Tori: Haha
Tori: endorphins :P

Uke: Could help your physical performance
Uke: And yeah
Uke: Those help you be happier
Uke: Reduce chances of depression and other mood disorders

Tori: There was a study proving that looking at boobs every day makes you healthire :P

Uke: But still
Uke: Jesus

Tori: What about him?

Uke: Uhm
Uke: well
Uke: Y'know
Uke: Bible
Uke: God
Uke: Heaven
Uke: Hell
Uke: Second Testament?

Tori: I don't believe in God or the Bibile
Tori: *Bible

Uke: And that's why your totally going to hell

Tori: Haha
Tori: I don't believe that I am though

Uke: Probs

Tori: Do you want me to commit to something I don't believe in?

Uke: Y'all need to realise that y'all making a fool out of yourself to tha lord
Uke: If i could type in that accent
Uke: I totally would
Uke: And just preach random religious stuff

Tori: HAHAHA
Tori: I don't BELIEVE it though

Uke: And it doesn't BELIEVE in you either!!!11
Uke: How do you like it?!
Uke: Yeah
Uke: That's what i thought
Uke: praise jesus leik a tru christian <333333~~~~

Tori: A christian wouldn't say that god doesn't believe in me

Uke: Oh
Uke: Well then
Uke: Back to the drawing board

Tori: And I don't like it just as much as I do like it
Tori: which is not at all

Uke: Sounds pretty neutral

Tori: exactly

Uke: I like the idea of reincarnation

Tori: it doesn't affect me cause I don't believe it's there in the first palce

Uke: That seems cool
Uke: So i'm gonna believe in that
Uke: But not the whole, if you were bad you come back as a worm thing
Uke: Just you come back as a different living thing
Uke: Reguardless of if you were Mother Teresa or Hitler

Tori: it seems cool, so you believe it??

Uke: I do now

Tori: seems a bit shallow

Uke: Well it doesn't really affect me either.
Uke: As it's not based on anything i do in this life
Uke: And if it's true, i won't remember being me anyway

Tori: Huh
Tori: But Karma
Tori: reincarnation is when you come back as something based on your actions in this life

Uke: Karma is super annoying, with her stun chain thingy

Tori: be a dick and you come back as a worm
Tori: be awesme and you come back as a prince

Uke: In my version, it's just some sort of energy recycling flow thing
Uke: There might be souls involved
Uke: The soul is the energy
Uke: And it just hops around

Tori: k

Uke: And when you're a soul
Uke: You can remember all your past lives
Uke: As everything you have ever lived as

Tori: Huh

Uke: But the mortal physical brain of a living thing doesn't allow that sort of spectral information
Uke: And it's totally new, the brain itself hasn't experienced anything
Uke: Which is why the organism can't remember the other lives
Uke: But the soul can when it's free of a body
Uke: That's my new religion/faith/whatever-it's-called

Tori: wow
Tori: onya

Uke: Thank you
Uke: What do you believe in?

Tori: no god :P

Uke: No nothing?

Tori: some nothing
Tori: some something

Uke: Which nothing
Uke: And which something

Tori: humans. the body. the earth
Tori: the universe
Tori: and no ethereal deities

Uke: Sounds like fun on the bun
Uke: Though not as much fun on the bun as my bun

Tori: Haha
Tori: Well it's not about what sounds fun
Tori: it's about what you think is true

Uke: With death that's kinda ultimately final, i reckon it can be what ever people want it to be

Tori: Hmm
Tori: I think death is just the end of it
Tori: no heaven
Tori: no reincarnation
Tori: just
Tori: blank

Uke: That's boring
Uke: No one wants blank

Tori: I know
Tori: I hate it

Uke: Sould hopping is soooo much more cooler

Tori: but that's what I think happens

Uke: *Soul
Uke: Is sould a word?
Uke: Souldering iron?

Tori: soulder is
Tori: not sould

Uke: Not the past tense of solder?
Uke: *Soulder

Uke: My computer isn't showing those little red lines

Tori: :P

Uke: So forgive any spelling mistakes i don't correct

Tori: kk

Uke: Words i reckon i've got wrong, ultimately and reguardless

Tori: :P

Uke: I've been getting less and less productive as the year draws to a close

Tori: Ohh noes

Uke: I have left like, the last 4 assignments to the very final minute
Uke: I am just so over work right now
Uke: But, only a bit more of that for a year
Uke: Then i get like, the longest holidays ever
Uke: Which will be awesome
Uke: I plan to be very productive during those
Uke: Whenever i find something i want to do, but i can't do because it would take time away from current work
Uke: I'd just say, i'll do it in the holidays
Uke: And so now i've got a whole list of things to do

Tori: Awh

Uke: I'm gonna learn to draw, i'm gonna learn German, i'm gonna exercise a whole lot, i'm gonna train my dog some more
Uke: It's gonna be great
Uke: Oh, and i'm gonna write some stories
Uke: And i'll have so much more game time
Uke: Because y'know
Uke: Creativity is always super fun
Uke: But i just need that last minute stress motivation to come around
Uke: Then i can get along to doing that

Question to discuss:
will you tell me a true story?

Tori: Sure.

Uke: I was in class one day
Uke: and the teacher had a heart attack
Uke: so I didn't have class for a semester
Uke: the end

Tori: Damn
Tori: I once went to Beijing

Uke: I had to make up for the classes

Tori: All my friends told me it was going to be shit, I needed to watch my wallet, I was crazy going alone, don't get stabbed etc
Tori: It was so awesome it made my life back home depressing.
Tori: People just aren't as nice here.

Uke: being rich in Beijing?
Uke: Where are you from?

Tori: I was in a pretty poor area, I didn't stay in the tourist districts
Tori: Australia

Uke: Same here
Uke: Melbourne

Tori: Nice

Uke: I went to the USA once.
Uke: Crazy place

Tori: What's it like?

Uke: the first five minutes of being out of my hotel in L.A I witnessed a car accident.
Uke: Well, in the grocery stores, they encourage you to get fat.....
Uke: it's an incentive

Tori: What?

Uke: they sell 2 kg bags of M&M's

Tori: Holy shit

Uke: Yeah.....
Uke: A pack of Oreos had 72 cookies in it
Uke: There was also a 2 kg bucket of twizzlers
Uke: what else....
Uke: what else....
Uke: In the frozen food section.
Uke: There was a box of pizza
Uke: that comes with cookies
Uke: in the same box.....

Tori: Wooow
Tori: What else did you see?

Uke: In L.A I went to Disneyland and Universal studios.
Uke: After that I went to New York City
Uke: Have you played the Grand Theft Auto games?
Uke: They catch the vibes of these cities perfectly

Tori: Damn. It's really as bad as that?

Uke: Bad?

Tori: Lol, unless we have majorly different perceptions of quality of life

Uke: Was talking about the environments in the game

Tori: Oh, I get you

Uke: They look so simialr to their real life counterpart
Uke: I felt like I already went to NY, because of GTA IV. lol

Tori: Haha
Tori: What are people like there?

Uke: People in New York are usually in a rush.
Uke: But the people I met in Times Square were very nice
Uke: Times square is epic
Uke: You should go to the US just for that alone....
Uke: People in L.A seem relaxed
Uke: In NY there is a left and right lane on the footpath....
Uke: If I lived there, I would use a bike as transportation.

Tori: Sounds cool. What's the quality of life like? Aside from supersized lollies?

Uke: New York would be the equivalent.
Uke: L.A is good if you're very rich.
Uke: But it doesn't seem to be as high of a standard of living as Australia.

Tori: Really?

Uke: Yeah, really.
Uke: So many homeless and poor people in L.A

Tori: Shit. That's such a shame.

Uke: Some of them are crazy.....
Uke: I saw one of them yelling at his suitcase.

Tori: Damn. That's the case here too isn't it, most homeless people are mentally ill, but usually living on the street because the state has nowhere to put them

Uke: I don't see many homeless in Melbourne
Uke: Beleive me, we are doing alot better than the US in terms of homelessness

Tori: Thank God.

Uke: It's a cool place to visit, but I wouldn't live there though.

Tori: I don't know what's going on with their system. They try to introduce some sort of social security, and right wing interest groups shut the government down.

Uke: Over a money dispute
Uke: They are in debt.....
Uke: They just make up the money
Uke: It's imaginary money
Uke: Why don't they just give their employees more imaginary money?

Tori: Yeah. I feel for them.
Tori: If we weren't such a backwater, we'd be in exactly the same position.

Uke: The only reason our economy is so good is because of the mining industry.....

Tori: From an international perspective, the only thing of interest we have are mineral resources. Notice what happens as soon as anyone tries to mess with them?

Uke: When that's gone we're fucked.....

Tori: I think if we were as important a player on the world stage, we'd be dealing with similar issues. More vested interest, you know?

Uke: We have the most coal in the world.....
Uke: We supply it to China
Uke: But we pay so much for it
Uke: We should all be rich.
Uke: Like in Saudi.
Uke: They have the most oil, so it's cheap for them
Uke: we have the most coal, but it's cheaper for the chinese.
Uke: In a recent discovery, we now have more oil than Saudi Arabia.
Uke: So, when the minerals are gone, that's next

Tori: Yeah. I wish we'd take a cue from scandinavia and try to translate that mineral wealth into a socialist paradise
Tori: You know, huge, pervasive social assistance, paid for by the country's resources.

Uke: You know what really annoys me? The average house price is $600,000.....
Uke: Which is a 1:7 ratio
Uke: of wages to house price
Uke: What the hell is that?
Uke: It's the most expensive in the English speaking countries

Tori: I know. Negative gearing is a crock of shit.

Uke: I won't be buying a house.

Tori: The government encourages this shit, the old getting rich at the expense of the young

Uke: To get the same ratio my parents did, I would need to earn $150,0000
Uke: *$150,000
Uke: Tax free

Tori: Yeah. I'll either rent, or if I can, just move overseas. I can dream at least.

Uke: L.A is cheap

Tori: Buying property in this bubble is a sucker's game

Uke: Well, L.A suburbs are cheap
Uke: You can buy a house near disneyland for 50k.

Tori: Holy hell

Uke: Yeah....

Tori: You didn't leave out a zero did you?

Uke: That's just for the basic three bedroom house.
Uke: Nope
Uke: This is in the suburbs.
Uke: 1.5 hours from L.A, 10 mins from Disneyland.
Uke: 50k

Tori: Can you tell me who Oliver is?

Uke: he is the little kid in the barrel

Tori: Please continue :D

Uke: you know, the barrel standing at the airport, that hasnt been picked up

Tori: Because no one loves him?

Uke: no
Uke: because people are afraid of what mght be inside
Uke: the think it might be a bomb

Tori: But but how will he get out

Uke: but in trouth it is just a black kid that was abandoned by his 14 year old mother, and that was trying to sneak into a better country
Uke: he doesnt get out
Uke: sooner or later

Tori: So he will die? :(

Uke: securety will get him and they will terminate the barrel before he gets out
Uke: so yes he will die

Tori: Nooes

Uke: but you know what the good thing is?

Tori: No?

Uke: while they are terminating the barrel, they catches the man that smuggled the barrel into the airport
Uke: that man was a the leader of a big human trafficking organisation
Uke: and he was going to make Oliver into a drugaddicted sex slave for some rich 40 year old man

Tori: So where is the magic in this story?

Uke: a unicorn flyes in and revives oliver and takes him to the fairy country where he lives happily ever after

Uke: unicorn magick you know
Uke: *magic

Tori: Oh so Oviler drank the blood of the unicorn?
Tori: Oliver*

Uke: yes but the unicorn was a willing blod donor so it is ok

Tori: That's neat

Uke: Dont you think. :-)

Tori: I do though
Tori: I do

Uke: but tell me what is the thing with that doctor?

Tori: He was only 20 when he realized that he could collect other peoples dreams

Uke: ok

Tori: The only down side of this was that he got addicted

Uke: oh no

Tori: He did not what to live in reality anymore
Tori: Only in other peoples dreams
Tori: That why he became a doctor

Uke: i know the feel

Tori: He specified in childern
Tori: Because they had the most vivid dreams

Uke: 0h god no that is... ghuvwu

Tori: So the day he grew weary of the things he did
Tori: He finally said that it was going to be the last time

Uke: oh good then

Tori: So he though well then I'll just stay for a bit longer this time

Uke: oh no

Tori: So the boy he was operating on
Tori: got extra drugs

Uke: no no

Tori: The dream the boy had was most pleasant

Uke: but...

Tori: The sun was shining and the wind was blowing cooling winds
Tori: After awhile he realized that the sun never whent down

Uke: hmm..?

Tori: And it was then he understood that he'd be trapped
Tori: The boy was dead but he dream did not end

Uke: oh no!

Tori: The doctor started to hate the sun so much
Tori: it angered him
Tori: He desperately tried to find shade
Tori: But it was unsuccessful
Tori: So he gathered rocks to tried to kill the sun

Uke: i am not sure but i dont think it works that way, even in dreams

Tori: You need to understand that the doctor grew crazy
Tori: He could not think straight

Uke: i wouldnt have been able to eather
Uke: id think in kurvs, or like sharp angles
Uke: *curves

Tori: And the only thing he could remember was that when he was a kid he wanted to be a speaceship captain

Uke: oh
Uke: that is sweet

Tori: So in the dream he made up the parts for a spaceship
Tori: and travel to the moon
Tori: For there was the only shade in the whole universe that was the young boys dream
Tori: end

Uke: that must have been a verry happy boy since he didn't allow anny shade in his world
Uke: a verry god story i must say
Uke: loads better then the one i thought up,

Tori: Haha it's fun to do these stories sometimes

Uke: do you ever write?

Tori: Sometimes I write poems
Tori: But like I have some stories

Uke: cool

Tori: Want to hear one?

Uke: i sometimes get the idea for something that could be a cool storry, but by the time i start to write it i just get a new idea

Uke: sure id love to

Tori: It's originally a Chinese fary tail

Uke: ok

Tori: There was once a great kingdom,
Tori: and its great king had a beautiful daughter who passed her days in solitude,

Uke: ok

Tori: weaving garments for the pleasure of her father.
Tori: One day, while she was sitting beside the great river,

Uke: is this an incest storry?

Tori: peering across, she saw a handsome young shepherd boy leading his flock through the pasture.
Tori: Immediately, she fell in love.
Tori: hereafter, she became terribly disheartened,

Uke: better then with his father phew
Uke: why so?

Tori: knowing that, due to her duties at the loom, she would be unable to pursue that love.

Uke: aaah

Tori: The king, aware that by his bidding such despair had befallen her,
Tori: felt great remorse, and arranged for her to marry the shepherd.

Uke: aww

Tori: There marriage was one of happiness from the start,
Tori: and everyday thereafter they grew happier and happier.
Tori: However,

Uke: oh oh

Tori: in immersing herself in her marriage, the princess had neglected her weaving and the great king became angry.
Tori: Unable to reconcile with that anger,
Tori: the great king banished each of the lovers to opposite sides of the great river,
Tori: allowing them only to meet once each year: on the seventh day of the seventh month.

Uke: scumbag king

Tori: On that day, a ferryman would carry the shepherd boy across the river to the princess,
Tori: and return him home at day's end.
Tori: However, if the princess has not fulfilled her obligations at the loom the king floods the river, and the two can not meet.
Tori: The end

Uke: so it is the princesses fault the river is always flooding here at home,

Tori: Haha
Tori: where are you from?

Uke: here i was going on about global worming when it tuns out it is all this lazy princesses fault

Uke: I am 16 years old, sir.

Tori: oh god
Tori: I will got arrested now

Uke: For what? :P

Tori: for talking and using bad words with an under age girl

Uke: Hey! Hold on, you're thinking that 'cause you said a few bad things that you'll get arrested?

Tori: no
Tori: but whatever
Tori: i was kidding with you

Uke: Uh-huh...I can believe that.

Tori: arent you late for school

Uke: No..my school starts at 8:15 am
Uke: Its 7:17am
Uke: right

Uke: YOU are super-duper :D
Uke: Honestly.

Tori: thnx

Uke: So..what was with the weird stuff from before?

Tori: nobody is serious and leaves after a while

Uke: So..you want them to leave? :P

Tori: No
Tori: even if i treat people seriously,they leave

Uke: oh come on, I wouldn't leave either way
Uke: You sound interesting, really.

Tori: i am sorry

Uke: Sorry for what?

Tori: i always um tale the wrong people
Tori: take*

Uke: I don't..understand
Uke: What do you mean?

Tori: i mean you are a good person right now
Tori: but didnt know that at the begin of this convo
Tori: i thought everyone is the same here
Tori: so i messed with everybody
Tori: well you didnt deserve that from me

Uke: Aww you still don't have to be sorry
Uke: I should be sorry myself for not being serious from before, I thought we were being silly on purpose for fun .-.

Tori: its ok

Uke: Besides, its not like you being silly was new to me. Boys in highschool do stuff similar to this
Uke: Unfortunately

Tori: i am not like those bos
Tori: boud
Tori: boys
Tori: boyd

Uke: Well I am glad, they tire me out sometimes

Tori: do you have kik

Uke: I don't...waiting for a new phone, until then..I'm sort of stuck with a older android that can't find things on the market
Uke: Oh well. Sorry though.

Tori: Oh
Tori: so i cant talk with you anymore
Tori: thats bad

Uke: Sort of, yeah..
Uke: See, I'm stuck with just an email and old man Skype. Poor guy.

Question to discuss:
truth or dare?

Uke: truth

Tori: first time have sex how it happened?

Uke: I was with my girlfriend in her room and we just did it, prior to that i had to finger her a lot to get her loose, since her hymen was still in tact, so we knew we were going to have sex prior to meeting up

Tori: truth

Uke: same question

Tori: never had sex

Uke: truth

Tori: attitude towards god

Uke: I believe in him, but I don't really believe in the notion of going to church consistently
Uke: *him/her
Uke: *it

Tori: what to do mean by believe in

Uke: i believe in the existence of a god
Uke: do you?

Tori: i don't

Uke: why?

Tori: atheist family

Uke: ah fair enough

Tori: i don't see god's arrangement in the world
Tori: just chances and probabilities

more anonymous chat

note: this is an actual chat between two people who met randomly. they were aware that someone else could see what they were saying. the words 'Tori' and 'Uke' are from Aikido - they're not names. any identifiable details have been removed/edited

Question to discuss: truth or dare?

Tori: dare

Uke: stranger

Tori: yes?

Uke: I need to know something
Uke: are you a guy
Uke: I need to know if this is considered as flirting or
Uke: um okay so
Uke: if a guy says like dirty stuff to a girl
Uke: is that flirting..
Uke: or he thinks she's cheap?

Tori: well the second option was a statement

Uke: yes?
Uke: be

Tori: so either hes blind drunk and thinks he flirting, hes a douche and he thinks hes flirting, hes a creep and he thinks hes flirting, hes a jerk and hes trying to be a jerk or hes just a dick

Uke: fhsng

Tori: end of story
Tori: that isnt flirting

Uke: oh
Uke: like
Uke: saying he wants to shower together
Uke: and
Uke: such
Uke: you know

Tori: and only an idiot could make that into the idea of him thinking shes cheap

Uke: ALRIGHT SO HE THINKS SHE'S CHEAP?

Tori: ok, thats blatantly sexual
Tori: ok, your an idiot

Uke: I'm just
Uke: you know

Tori: your using to many lines for 1 sentence

Uke: I don't want a guy to think I'm cheap doe
Uke: shut up

Tori: i just said

Uke: well I kinda joked back..

Tori: only an idiot would turn that into the idea of he thinks your cheap
Tori: hes just being blatantly sexual
Tori: hes saying he wants to sex

Uke: yea he's just a friend so
Uke: oh
Uke: right. all guy wants that

Tori: no

Uke: he's just horny then

Tori: all living things that dont reproduce entirely asexually want that
Tori: to say all guys want sex is bigotism in that you;re saying that males cant control their sex drive

Uke: YOU SURE HE DOESNT THINK I'M CHEAP AND EASY???

Tori: ok, he wants sex

Uke: sorry mate

Tori: he wants sex with you
Tori: he thinks he has a chance

Uke: seriously lmao

Tori: if he thought you were cheap and/or easy he would go drinking with you and try then

Uke: well he joked about um
Uke: showering together
Uke: and empty space in my bed
Uke: and asked if I wear bras to sleep
Uke: and yea

Tori: otherwise hes just abrupt/overconfident/sexually harassing you

Uke: SP FUCKING AWKWARD ONG WE'RE GREAT FRIENDS WHUYY

Tori: have you not considered ever that he likes you in a sexual way?

Uke: dunno I'm not sexy
Uke: I don't think I am
Uke: who tf would want anything with me hahaha

Tori: well to be honest, if you search you can find bbw and bdsm so nothings impossible

Uke: well I always jokingly calling him baby and stuff so
Uke: ewww
Uke: dat shit gross man

Tori: ok if you dont think of him sexually dont call him baby

Uke: but

Tori: just dont

Uke: I like calling him that..

Tori: dont, end of story
Tori: unless you want to be a jerk

Uke: but he's cute and reminds me of baby

Tori: dont
Tori: its a dick move

Uke: well he's shorter so he looks like a baby

Tori: unless you think of him sexually it isnt alright

Uke: jfjfmskvc

Tori: this is the problem
Tori: currently it seems like your at fualt here

Uke: I kinda called him that like 5 times a day
Uke: and asked him if he's alright and rubs his arm

Tori: yes, and its seeming like its your fualt

Uke: I'm just being a good friend

Tori: no, your being a girl who leads him on (wether unintentional or not) and then disregards any romantic/sexual advances

Uke: oh but he's kinda a player so I didn't think it's a big deal tbh
Uke: :-(:-(:-(:-(

Tori: it is a big deal
Tori: the difference between players and people like ^ is that players actually allow the people they lead on to follow the desires that they have kindled

Uke: oh
Uke: um
Uke: so this is all my fault then..

Tori: he shouldnt do that either
Tori: and it seems like your doing it unintentioanlly

Uke: dunno but he likes my ring

Tori: just try to be aware of your actions

Uke: but I like calling him thattttt

Tori: and remember my point about bbw and bdsm, people like things you wouldnt, if your going to do something that can be considered an advance think about it before you do it

Uke: as long as he doesn't think I'm cheap
Uke: and no I'm not fat
Uke: or nasty

Tori: i didnt say you were

Uke: bbw

Tori: is something that some people like and i find disguasting
Tori: i used it as a point that people will most likely find anything with a pulse attractive

Uke: I didn't know that boys like someone easily lol

Tori: your subjegating the idea that males experience sexuality in a way different than females

Uke: don't tell me if I hug or caress someone's face he'll take that as a big deal

Tori: both genders experience sexuallity the exact same way

Uke: ah well

Tori: if you do it repetitavely it can be seen as that

Uke: I'm just friendly.. or nice

Tori: and notm only 'normal' people, transgenderalls, hypogenderalls, hyposexuals and genderqueers experience sexuallity in much the same way

Uke: hypo qieers wat
Uke: alright

Tori: hypo = little
Tori: hypo sexuals are different from asexuals in thatv they find people attractive but experience little or no sexual drive

Uke: so if a guy likes me, and I don't like him,
Uke: what should I do

Tori: straight to his face
Tori: dont try to dodge around it

Uke: that's mean

Tori: no
Tori: its the nice thing to do

Uke: but I always make it obvious

Tori: you're thinking about it in that you wouldnt like to be rejected
Tori: noone likes to be rejected, except my friend reese
Tori: tell him, dont be rude just be honest and above board
Tori: it might seem mean but I garuntee its nicer than ANYTHING you come up with as an alternative
Tori: ill prove it if you want

Uke: so if I don't like that guy, I can't put my head on his shoulder and such?
Uke: alright then..

Tori: just think about your actions and if you dont like him tell him
Tori: other than that anything is allowed
Tori: just dont lead him on
Tori: if you think he might be taking it as any form of advance make sure to tell him
Tori: it might seem mean
Tori: but its better than not telling him
Tori: if you didnt tell him he might try to get you and miss out on someone who would have been wonderful with him

Uke: so he doesn't think I'm cheap

Tori: and the longer it takes for him to find out the more hurt he will feel

Uke: glad to know that

Tori: rule 1 in men when it comes to dating
Tori: unless hes a douche no guy thinks a girl is cheap until she acts like it
Tori: rule 2, if a guy is a douche you are at fualt for anything and everything that happens if you date him
Tori: he may be in the wrong
Tori: but you are still at fualt for dating him
Tori: rule 3, honesty is better than any alternaive you have, end of story, no buts, i dont care whatv your argument is this is true shut up i win

Uke: ok

Tori: so basically be honest and accept what you allowed to happen, it makes everyone happier
Tori: becuase it makes you more aware of what could happen so it generally doesnt
Tori: oh and rule 5
Tori: unless your planning on a 1 night stand dont date anyone you havent known for at least a year without trouble (note = adjust this per person so that it is a time in which you are sure is adequete

Uke: I'm a virgin so no

Tori: basically make sure you actually like him as he is, dont just jump in and try to change partas thatv you dont like

Uke: we are just friends. it's just that lately he always make dirty jokes
Uke: well usually online

Tori: ok just make sure your honest with him
Tori: i cannot stress this enough

Uke: he rarely does that when we're in front of each other

Tori: no matter what you think if you have the slightest doubt then tell im]

Uke: we are just good friends

Tori: that is how it is to you, you have absolutely no way of knowing how mhe feels unless you directly ask him

Uke: trust me I'm not his type
Uke: and well my hands are kinda bigger
Uke: not really bigger but
Uke: so yeah no

Tori: it is when you ignore the '10 sacred rules that don't actually amount to 10' that you create a transdimensional subuniverse in which most potential partners are sucked into upon being introduced to you, it is colloqueally known as the friendzone
Tori: and hands are generally not considered to be the biggest factor in deciding wether or not someone is attractive
Tori: and like i said, sexuality is complex

Uke: he's shorter!!!!

Tori: im a partial masochist for example, partial
Tori: ok, so you know for a fact that he finds taller girls unnatractive dov you?

Uke: well it's weird when the girl is taller

Tori: like i said whzt you like isnt what he likes, you might like similar things but noone ever likes the exact same thing as someone else
Tori: and I dont care if the girl is taller
Tori: sometimes it can be very attractive other times it doesnt matter
Tori: as long as noone is at waist height I generally dont care

Uke: he's below my ears haha

Tori: so?

Uke: it's weird the end

Tori: Ive dated a girl you i was at tit height for

Uke: we're just friends omg I just find it disturbing when he keeps being dirty lately that's why

Tori: stop telling me youtr just friends, the fact that we're talking about this proves that you have doubts so tell him you only see you as friends

Uke: I honestly find him attractive
Uke: but well. just friends
Uke: and I don't call other boys baby, just for record

Tori: ok, so now your just saying that you dont like his personality or something
Tori: OR
Tori: He has fallen into the transdimensional subuniverse but you refuse to see its existance

Uke: he freaking kicked a cat in front of me

Tori: and not calling other byos babys makes it more likely for him to see it as an advanced
Tori: ok, he kicked a cat
Tori: so what?
Tori: i hate cats, they grow feral and kill wildlife

Uke: I LIKE CATS THEY'RE MY WORLD

Tori: ok, hes different

Uke: yep

Tori: if you dont factor in personality into attraction than you fall into the catagory know commonly as slut

Uke: I said he's personality IS cute u shit

Tori: which is, in accordance to rule 7, a form of 'acting cheap'

Uke: idgaf about looks
Uke: ok lies. just a little
Uke: his******
Uke: idk god

Tori: look
Tori: the fact is that if you have any doubts about this, and you do and i know it becuase you're having this conversation
Tori: than you should tell him

Uke: what the fuck no

Tori: if you're embarassed dont tell anyone but him
Tori: and tell him in private

Uke: no the fuck
Uke: I've promised not to swear :(

Tori: you have some form of doubt about this, i know you do since your habing this conversation
Tori: so you SHOULD tell him since its the nicest thing tov do

Uke: no I won't tell him no man
Uke: he is cute but no

Tori: so you wont tell him you dont see him like that
Tori: then you ma'am are a douche

Uke: but I swear to god he's so sweet
Uke: but no
Uke: HE DOESN'T LIKE ME U SHIT

Tori: if you were absolutely certain about that you wouldnt be having these conversations
Tori: you have doubts no matter how small
Tori: so even if you dont tell him directly
Tori: frind a way to reinforce the idea of you being just friends

Uke: I'm sure as hell he doesn't like me. just wondering why he's extra dirty lately

Tori: maybe hes going through puberty

Uke: oh
Uke: but he's so sweet I just want to hugggg him
Uke: but I dont like him
Uke: u feel me

Tori: then wait for puberty to be over, or tell him, or find som e other way to reach the same end result of ensuring he understands that you dont like him that way

Uke: or I'll just keep everything this way
Uke: well I always compliment him saying he's cute
Uke: ha

Tori: in which case you're intersecting with rules 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8 and 9

Uke: urghhdcb

Tori: like i said sexuality is complicated and puberty is like a semitrailer driving through your ooriginal perception, what he used tyo like will change if he is currently in puberty

Uke: he knows how to make a girl feel special alright
Uke: he's cute
Uke: a baby cute
Uke: because he's small

Tori: THEN TELL HIM THAT

Uke: wHat

Tori: although hes likely sensitive about his height
Tori: tell him he's baby cute, not just vute
Tori: it will work towards following my advice
Tori: ive had enough of this, your breakings 14 of the 10 sacred rules that dont actually make 10

taking your own life should not be your decision alone

i think we should try to cultivate a different kind of cultural attitude towards suicide: that like many other big decisions that affect others, it's not entirely the person's own to make

so: if you ever think of doing yourself in, it becomes your duty to consult with the people you know about whether it's the right decision. suicide affects the people who care about you and if you talk to them, you might discover just that - that they care

a quickfire poem...inspired by a friend

Lisa's poem is here. this was my response

------------

my ideas come in a tumble or flood
like a flash of a lightbulb or a rush of the blood
that reveals what is hidden and finds what it lost
just as sure as cowshit will turn to compost
there's often a diamond amongst broken glass
and i often find it while sat on my arse
so when i do nothing and people complain
'i'm not doing nothing', i try to explain
'i'm mining my musings and and pondering so,
when you ask what i'm up to, i'll say "i don't know"'

but i do, really

------------

Workfare Wednesday: Still no pay at the YMCA

Article: http://www.boycottworkfare.org/?p=2428

so i changed an old song a bit:

-------------

Young folks, when you’re stuck in a hole
I said, young folks, you can find a new role
I said, young folks, when you’re broke on the dole
There’s no need to be unhappy.

Young folks, there’s a place you can go.
I said, young folks, you won’t get any dough
You’ll be sanctioned, if you choose to decline
To get nothing for your own time

You’ll get no pay at the YMCA
You’ll get no pay at the YMCA

You’ll be forced to do work, and you’ll have to behave
You’ll be happy there as our slave

You’ll get no pay at the YMCA
You’ll get no pay at the YMCA

You’ll be royally screwed, cause you cannot refuse
You’ll be singing the Workfare Blues

Young folks, are you listening to me?
I said, young folks, what do you want to be?
I said, young folks, you can’t follow your dreams.
But you got to know this one thing!

No one does it all by himself.
I said, young folks, put your pride on the shelf,
We’ll exploit you, and you won’t get a job
Now get working and shut your gob!

You’ll get no pay at the YMCA
You’ll get no pay at the YMCA

You’ll do menial tasks for Duncan Smith to enjoy,
They’ll take men and treat them as boys

You’ll get no pay at the YMCA
You’ll get no pay at the YMCA

what Katy did...

a certain Miss Anchant got me writing letters...here goes. this is a letter to Michael Gove, written in 2016

...........

dear Michael (att your press officer)

thanks for the invite to your tour of the Modern Free Academy school. The flight back from west Wales was fun and of course the champagne and oysters were fab. i really appreciate what a risk it is you're taking by adopting some of the more radical ideas - homeschooling, hands-on learning in a 'real-world' environment, with a dash of Montessori - which must be a pain to implement. after all, the Tories are known to be rather conservative in these matters ('lol') and i take my hat off to your courage and far-sightedness in reforming our failing education system. too many kids these days leave school with unrealistic expectations of the world of work and i'm so pleased you're helping eradicate this particularly form of cruelty.

i'd appreciate it, however, if you could get your people to clear a few things up:

- you took pains to explain about the 'hands-on' aspect and i can see that a coalmine is a real educational opportunity: combining geology, woodwork and physical exercise is a true masterstroke. however, as most of the children appeared to be almost naked, i wonder if you've considered that this might attract paedophiles into teaching?

- you've talked many a time about the loss of family values and i agree: something must be done. i'm so pleased that the kids all eat together. it all went a bit quickly and i couldn't see what was in the pot, but i was rather worried about their lack of manners. some of the younger children were simply pushed aside in the rush. on the plus side, the potatoes and turnips weren't served too hot so none of them got their fingers burned eating lunch. and no plates means no washing up? what a brilliant move: you're putting our taxes to the best possible use by saving where you can

- i was also a little concerned about this 'unschooling' business. i know it's all about the kid's own curiosity, but do the staff have to be so uninvolved? i admit that six teachers to 200 kids is about as efficient a use of teaching resources as i've ever seen, but they didn't appear to do anything but stand around leaning on their walking sticks (as a note: i'll use this to work a 'jobs for the disabled' angle into the article). i'm sure there are many qualified candidates to be had amongst the priests that seem to be leaving the Catholic church in droves these days - most with excellent references - so perhaps you've gone a bit too far on this one

- most of all, i'm concerned about how the coal produced might affect our carbon footprint. i know it's getting colder at these latitudes but my place in the south of France is now unbearably hot in summer

and Banham is definitely the right man for the job. we need more schools run by people with real-world business experience and his time spent running coalmines is very relevant for the task in hand

anyway, see you at Nat's bash in Capri: can you remind Gideon to keep his mouth shut next time? last time he blabbed to the press about Mandelson and that Deripaska bloke and i had to pull in a few favours to stop that one 'going viral', as they say these days

cheers, Paul Dacre

people like us just don't have like buttons any more

so i wrote the application and sent it off but you know how it is with these bureaucrats they take bloody ages to reply and then it's a load of gobbledegook you need a fucking lawyer to read to you and even then permission can be as ambiguous as fuck and you can still get in trouble. i'd checked all the boxes about hate speech incitements to violence racism religious intolerance and all that palaver and tried to make it sound like i'm all compliant and fluffy and gentle as a fucking mouse but i'm not and i know i'm not and they know that and i know they know and they know that i know that they know and neither of us gives a fuck about all of that, really, cos the poor brainwashed fucker at the other end is surely aware what a shitty job they've got but my guess is that people do it because it's steady work and only a few of them believe it but they just think the other way. they're trying it on with me but fuck them, i'm gonna walk that fine line that could land me in a re-education place but that doesn't scare me any more. i know they're watching me cos they make me jump through all these hoops and i can't even tell anyone about me being on the watch list without them messing me around even more and they might even shut down my internet connection which is fucking hard to live with as i'd lose contact with almost all my friends and that happened to someone i once knew but i can't remember his name or what he looked like

anyway they must have been awake or something because i got an answer within an hour saying something about the tone and i had to fill out this other form which was all stupid psychometric crap and luckily i managed to walk the fine line between a satirical answer and an honest one and whoever read it must have failed to understand the different ways my answer could be read but if they'd twigged i might have been sanctioned for wasting their time. and anyway that's why i can't get a fucking office or call centre job because they only want people who are bright enough to follow the script they all work to and if they've got a knack for giving callers what they call 'the verbal blowjob' then they get to keep their crap jobs. i have a super-intelligent friend who managed to get into one of those places and she said it was like a cross between a sweatshop and a panopticon and she did her best to look and act stupid but somehow they found out probably because one of the others ratted on her for even mentioning what it was like to work in that shithole. they don't want clever people any more unless you've been to one of their expensive schools where they teach you never to do or say anything that can be taken at face value and to them that was like being members of a secret club that you might not even notice if you weren't a member and which they might let you join and get a better job if they could use you but you'd never be one of them...and i've known a few and let me tell you, they're so fucked up and the poor bastards don't even know it perhaps because their constant search for money and status keeps them distracted like poor little victims who think they're oppressors which they also are

so in the end i got permission against the odds but it was a bit of a rigmarole and sometimes i wonder whether the people who decide these things in their infinite stupidity are really just machines designed to sound like a totally porridge-brained jobsworth. but i don't think so - you'd have to be very clever indeed to emulate that kind of stupidity and you could eventually figure out if it was fake but that thought gives me big respect for the women i know who seem to pull that one off with lots of blokes but then again i spose most blokes don't take much fooling when they think with their balls and what bloke doesn't do that from time to time?

argh fuck this crap. all this trouble over posting a fucking facebook status and i don't even know how many people will read it as they still haven't built an app that can tell you how many people have viewed your profile or read your status and to be honest, most of my friends have to go through a similar rigmarole when they want to post a comment and people like us just don't have like buttons any more
