I finally found the brand of tobacco that is just perfect for me. I've been searching ever since I started smoking cigs, cause before then I only smoked cigars.

[TheGodlessUtopian]

Well, as soon as I get my cell phone back in working order I am going to be texting this guy I met on one of my dating sites. We live rather apart and conditions will make it somewhat challenging to visit each other, but it is not impossible either. I feel like I have some small chance with him if we communicate regularly and like each other. Of course it all may blow up before it even begins, but when you are me you can't be terribly picky. In any case I am in a good mood.

[bad ideas actualised by alcohol]

Had my first feeling of enjoyment in about two weeks when I grabbed three M&Ms with the same colour without looking.

What kind?

@TGU Do you usually meet interesting people on your dating sites? Or do you have to wade through a bunch of bros to find anyone worth talking to?

Drum regular. I had never heard it before but the tobacconist told me it was popular among the British folk in my town, so I decided to give it a try. At first I was disappointed cause the smell reminded me of chewing tobacco and since I quit pinching about 3 years ago, I've learn to detest the smell. But it smokes wonderful.

Well, it depends on which site you go on. Others are "dating site" but more geared towards random hook-ups. Others are more focused on actual dating, and have guys in my range, but won't, for whatever reason, respond. Even under favorable conditions it is hard to meet someone.

So, where I met this guy was under very unfavorable conditions. The site I was on was mostly geared as a hook-up site, so I had to wade through a bunch of older perverts in order to find him.

I think quite a few people smoke Drum over here. The three most popular brands among people I know seem to be Golden Virginia, Drum and Gold Leaf.

Playing Elder Scrolls: Oblivion and up by Fort Nikel there's an Imperial Legion soldier marching around.

Only, he's bent over backwards with his head up his ass. I am serious. It's on my xbox or I'd take a screenshot. Holy shit.


[edit]
Took two pictures with my cell phone. When you go to talk to him, you talk to his crotch.

I hate how cold the house is in the morning, it's horrible. In fact, the cold in general at the moment is horrible. I've been wearing tights, jeans, a long top, a short top and a hoodie inside and still been shivering.

When people call me my birth name, I feel like I'm getting stabbed

[TheGodlessUtopian]

So I spent about an half-an-hour today writing a blog entry about whether a song from a relatively unknown artist was Queerphobic or not. Needless to say I have thoughts in my mind that I feel the mysterious need to get out.lol

[Os Cangaceiros]

regarding Drum: that was my prefered brand whenever I rolled my own cigarettes. Much better than comparable brands like Top and Bugler (although a bit more expensive).

Worth paying the extra cost, though.

[Leftsolidarity]

I use the brand "The Good Stuff". Cheap yet not bad at all.

Here at Wal-Mart they sell these electric oil radiators for like $40 starting. They'll turn your room into a furnace if you let them. The house I spent most of my teenage years in didn't really have any insulation, the floor was bare to the crawlspace (I drilled a hole in the floor to run cat5 and was like ... that's it? just a little wood?), and whatever was in the walls and attic had collapsed and degraded decades before. Having an electric oil radiator like that, and an electric blanket, was nice. It got cold in appalachia.

That fucking sucks. In my town it is illegal for a company to turn off heat between October 1st and April 1st, so that sorta blows my mind. Fur for sure. I know it's unethical and all, but if you can find some used furn coats at a thrift store, I'd advise strongly to get it.

[Leftsolidarity]

Yeah, we just didn't even pay our bill this month cuz we barely made rent and we knew they couldn't shut it off on us until the end of winter. That really sucks that it was shut off on you, though. Like someone said, find a sleeping bag and layer up.

I feel pathetic. I can't even seem to get a job at any fast food place. I did taco bell, Wendy's, McDonalds, Subway, and probably a few I forgot about. I even put in a resume at some of these places. I never heard back from any.

I even made sure I checked up on the McDonald's application a few times; once in person then twice on the phone when they said would be a good time to call. They were supposed to be going through their applications on Monday and Tuesday and calling people for interviews. I called on Tuesday but the woman told me the hiring manager was busy and that they were doing their hiring this week. It's now Friday and I haven't heard from them. How the fuck am I supposed to get a job when fast food places won't even hire me? It doesn't even make sense for them. I'm almost 19, have to support myself, broke, and completely desperate for any job at minimum wage. Why not me but instead the yuppie kids who are 16 just getting a job to get their parents off their back? WHY WON'T YOU EXPLOIT MY LABOR?!?!? :cursing:

Tonight has been weird: tried to go to sleep after watching a bit of drama shows but, after about an hour of tossing and turning, couldn't. So I got up and went downstairs to get a drink... and here is the weird part: I smelled turkey. Looked in the oven and saw a turkey cooking... in the middle of the fucking night with no one up while all the kitchen lights were on.

Jesus... in any case it isn't my fucking problem.lol... lord, never before have I felt so high without drugs.

Sleep schedule is completely fucked. Wake up at 6 pm and fall asleep at 6-8 am. And this develops over two nights no less.

How come it takes so much less time and effort to get your sleep schedule off track of where you want it to be than to get it back on track to where you want it to be?

[Blake's Baby]

Attack it from the other side. A couple of days getting up at 10pm then 3am and you'll be back to getting up at 8am.

It's always easier to add to the time you're awake, but not so much to go to sleep early. That's why jetlag is worse if you fly west-east than if you fly east-west (I think that's the way round it is...)

Its tough to get your sleeping schedule back on track. I was nocturnal for a bit recently, took me a week and now I'm waking up at 7:30 am and falling asleep at about 11:00 pm.

I haven't looked into it much since it's winter. When it gets warmer I'll probably see if I can find something. My buddy did landscaping for awhile and didn't hate it. My only concern is me physically being able to do the job cuz I'm a skinny person without much muscle. I'm not a wimp or anything but I know my buddy is much stronger and tougher than me and landscaping really kicked his ass.

It's physically demanding in the sense that you have to be on your feet all day, but usually 'muscles' don't seem to factor in. If something is really heavy it takes a few of us anyways to lift it, move it, etc. I'm not built or anything and when something was too heavy I'd just say 'it's too damn heavy' and someone would help me. Seems like the bosses didn't care (from my company) since I didn't break anything trying to prove I wasn't weak or whatever. Plus you'd build up muscle super quick too.

Was security at my cousins highschool party(:laugh: still find it funny that I was "security") and oh God I'm just reminded of how highschool was so freakin' horrible. Like I still can't understand why all these girls flock to these assholes. I sat there watching almost a dozen girls sitting there just getting shit on by these 5 douchebags all night and you know all 5 of them had sex with at least one, if not two, of them that night! Like wtf, they're sitting here humiliating you girls and you still want to go near them? Fucking hierarchies man, I could never understand them in highschool. But it was me and my two friends who were also "security" and there were girls trying to flirt and shit. I'm 20, they're 22 and 23. These girls are like 15-18. Such a weird night.

[Art Vandelay]

I actually got invited to go drinking tonight. Its with some people who I used to be good friends with but kinda alienated from myself. You know you're not used to getting asked to hang out very often why you emphatically thank the person for inviting you. I'm still not going out for a couple hours, but already my social anxiety is kicking in. I'm not even around anyone yet, but my heart is already beating faster and I'm getting butterfly's; I need to make sure to not be myself too much around these people, or else they'll be wishing I wasn't there.

If these were the people you mentioned that used to be friends until you alienated from them because of depression and too much alcohol, then doesn't it make sense to be the person you were before you drank too much, i.e yourself?If that is the person they befriended, then be him.

Yeah I guess that is true. I guess I've come to associate myself with way I was acting, as opposed to the person I was before the depression and alcholohism.

I'm short too. And "unapproachable" in the conventional sense of the word, but I guess that mainly has to do with my choosing. It sucks sometimes. I feel like I'm a nice person who usually has something to offer, but I put off a... rabid dog vibe or something. Although on the plus side, the people who do take the time to approach me seem to not be so superficial and one-dimensional. Maybe this has been asked of you time and time again so sorry if I am being redundant but, are there any LGBTQ clubs or anything on your campus worth checking out? I don't know how to relate much with the transgender stuff and I have heard clubs like that have helped people relate with others.

@9mm Maybe that one day will come. How did your night out go?

[Yet_Another_Boring_Marxist]

A couple things.

Mid terms are stressing me out a bit, but to be honest not all that much. I'm dyslexic so I've accepted the fact that no matter how hard I try I will always suck at them. It's just who I am, I once studied three days straight for a mid terms and I still only got a 78% on it. But whatever, I'm a senior now and I'm in 4 APs so I really couldn't care less. My GPA still sucks though but again, I'm a senior, and looking back at my life so far I might have some regrets but I've learned to be at peace with them. I've done pretty good with my circumstances so far, you don't need to hear my life story but needless to say I've made the best of it.

I got a girlfriend recently. Pretty Caucasian girl from Germany, tall and blond. She's into anime which is ok since I watch some. All of my K-pop friends have gotten me sucked into that a bit so I was disappointed to learn that she isn't that fond of that. Ah well, all that hard work gone to waste. She's pretty weird though. In all honesty I was really hoping she'd turn out to be more normal than my last girlfriend but ah well, tis life. I was disspointed the other night when I found out she is BDMS. I don't know what it is about be but I attract all of the BDMS girls which sucks as an asexual. I didn't ask if she was a sub or a dommie, personally I hope dommie because I could probably due more of that, though I know alot of play for subs so maybe I'd be better off with that. Still, one of these days I need to date an asexual girl.

The other day she dyed part of her hair blue. I don't have any problem with it, but my last girlfriend of two years was Chinese and due to my father's racism and social conservatism I never introduced her to my father. It sucks now that I can't introduce my new girlfriend to him. I really wanted to introduce her to him so he could be proud of me for meeting his romantic standards. But despite that I still support her, she shouldn't have to change her hair for someone elses shitty parents.


Also last week my uncle Bill passed away. I always liked him, he was a good guy, served in world war two and spent the rest of his days as the principle of an elementary school. Great with kids, I remember the last time I talked to him he was telling me a story from history, I never would have thought that would have been the last time I talked to him, kinda funny really, that night I was at a wedding and of everything that went on that's the only thing I can remember from that night. Fitting I guess.

So me, my father, his girlfriend and my step brother drove all the way out into Atlantic City where he was going to be buried. After the ride we went straight into the church. The adults go off in their circles and me and my step brother Parker hung out with my cousins John and Victoria. The whole time the bastards can't stuff screaming obscenities and vulgarities and no matter how much I remind them that they are in a church they don't seem to grasp what I mean, as if the very concept of sacredness is foreign to them and all that is holy is profaned in the name of crude jokes and bourgeois calculation. My cousin John is the worst of them but in all honesty it's partually my fault. Every holiday right before dinner the oldest of my cousins beat up the youngest. When I was younger I was beaten but I don't think I understood that violence wasn't supposed to be expected so when I got a little older me and the other cousins would beat on John. But something was different with him. One day after we beat him he got all bloody and he just laid there in a fecal position rocking back and forth for the rest of the night. He's always been a bit off since that.

He whispered something into Parker's ear and all I could hear was Parker laughing, soon he told Victoria and they were both bent half over, contorted and snarling as they choked on their own saliva. Not before long some of my older cousins asked John why they were laughing and he told them what he said. Soon the entire room was filled with hysteria and John walked up to me

"Hey, Dylan, how's it feel to know that all your girlfriends make your cloths"

Any amount of affection I felt for those bastards died right then and there. I wasn't related to them, to them I am just "that guy who dated that Chinese girl and therefore has an Asian fetish". None of them looked me straight in the eye for the rest of the night and I returned the favor. Later that night I got in a really bad fit and went to the bathroom to calm myself down but ended up bashing my head into the wall. I bled a wee bit but eh, I managed to clean it.

So yea, I guess this will be kinda ironic sounding considering the note I ended on, but I'm not doing all that bad I suppose

Do you guys have any idea what system you want to play? If you don't have a preference, I'll run a Pathforgers game (which is basically like and updated version of the very popular Dungeons and Dragons 3.5 edition). I can get y'all the PDFs and everything you need, no matter what we end up playing. Just need skype and a microphone.

And we may or may not use roll20. I'm not really familiar with it and the map thing can be more trouble than it's worth, sometimes.

[Hermes]

Personally no preference, since I'm completely green.

Up for whatever everyone else wants.

WOOHHH! McDonald's ended up calling me today asking me to come in for an interview. I told them I was out of town and would be back in a few days so they told me to call when I'm back. I really hope I get this job!

Over my head man. Like I said, I made up my own game when I tried to play so I'm new to D&D but not the concept. Hopefully I'll be able to read the documents on my iPad because that's what I'll be on 99% of the time most likely.

If you popularized the idea that you can get like, really high from burning US dollar bills, backing it up with some fake science, some things could happen:

1) Idiots set fire to their money to test the theory out. In an effort not look ridiculous they convince their friends that it works
2) The media creates a slow news day moral panic about this nonexistent drug epidemic.
3) Parents confiscate their kids savings: a roll of bills in their sock drawer must be for one of those currency raves Fox warned them about no matter how much they protest its for video games or college.
4) The youth of America are forced to walk around with pockets filled with quarters.

Good luck, been through that a few times (obviously not the most successfully because I still smoke) so I know how tough it is. Right now I'm on a family vacation so I've been cutting back to about 2-3 smokes a day when I'm usually a little under 40 smokes a day. Dizziness, short temper, no focus, feeling sick, etc. It's crazy how much a lack of cigarettes affect people.

Good luck, been through that a few times (obviously not the most successfully because I still smoke) so I know how tough it is. Right now I'm on a family vacation so I've been cutting back to about 2-3 smokes a day when I'm usually a little under 40 smokes a day. Dizziness, short temper, no focus, feeling sick, etc. It's crazy how much a lack of cigarettes affect people.

Fuck. Why not dip? My friend loves it because he can do it at work. And to be honest, I have always wanted to try snuff. Like what would snorting tobacco be like?

[The Jay]

So I'm about 6 hours into quitting smoking, I've been smoking 20 a day for about the last 12 years. I'm starting to get fidgety and I can't concentrate on anything for more than about 3 minutes which is annoying. Also Bill Gates sounds like Kermit the frog whats up with that?

I wish you all the luck in the world!

[Art Vandelay]

Coming from a former heavy chewer, I wouldn't suggest it. Smoking kills you on the inside, but chew will destroy the outside, as vain as that sounds. I finally stopped once the dentist finally told me I'd need a skin graph, if it got worse. You walk around all day collecting your spit in a cup, I have no idea how my girlfriend put up with it. I also have snorted snuff before, its quite the kick, but its pretty gross.

Today at spay/neuter clinic we had this aggressive pitbull brought in by his owners. When he first came in. He had a deep scary bark, but when he was waking up from the anesthesia, he was crying like a baby. I felt bad for him, but it was kind of funny. Especially when his crying started to sound like hysterical laughter.

How is this for "everyday sexism"? I took my laptop to the computer shop under my house to get it fixed and the guy told me that I should discuss it with my partner before I made a decision (on whether to get it fixed or whether to buy a new one), and actually wouldn't let me make a decision that day until I'd talked to my partner. It's my laptop and my money that will be paying to have it fixed! When I went back the next day and told him I wanted it fixed, he was like, "And you have spoken to Mr Quail about this?" Seriously, wtf?

Nothing really (annoyingly). I wanted him to fix my laptop and he's generally quite nice about having our mail delivered to his shop if we're not in, so I didn't want to offend him. I was also kind of taken aback. It's easy to think, should have said this, should have done that afterwards but when I'm put on the spot I'm useless at standing up for myself. I know I really should have said something though. I'm letting the side down. :(

I should just stay out of the kids' section of the library. Yesterday I saw a book called Granddad's Fishing Buddy and I totally read it as "fisting" instead.

And some asshole broke into a locked DVD case and stole a brand new movie we had (probably because they were mad that we recently started charging a $1 rental fee for new movies.) I mean come on. If you've got to steal, at least don't steal from the library. I'm pissed.

Just got back from a trip visiting my brother at college. It's not like we hate each other or anything, but we don't always get along.

Anyways, it's probably really infantile, but he took me to one of the workout sessions that he goes to, and I couldn't even complete the first exercise. Whenever I fail at anything, especially something as objective as that, I can never really console myself. It pretty much made the whole weekend worse.

(i.e. what a fucking weakling I am, why can't I ever do anything good whatsoever, I can't even do anything physically, let alone intellectually)

It sounds like you are letting some irrational thoughts get to you, I know it happens to me alot too although I seem to be getting better at it. To begin with, some people who are physically fit aren't necessarily capable of doing certain workouts. I know that when I was still an athlete and in the gym very often, I had great core and lower body strength, while when it came to upper body I was awful. It depends person to person, not to mention if you haven't been working out lots lately (I know I haven't in a long long time) you can hardly just expect to jump right back into it and be in great shape.

I wouldn't let it get to you and don't let an exercise change your mind about your 'intellectual capacity' the two are not related what so ever.

Also, I was thinking, I really don't understand homophobes who get offended about the idea of someone of the same gender liking them. Surely if someone likes you, that's a compliment? And if you don't like them back, well, does it really matter if they're of your preferred gender?

Ah well

If you really think you are, eat healthy, balanced meals and exercise a bit more than usual

Me:Aww thank you dear
And may I say that no matter what you will still be lovely to me

Julia:You're welcome, and thank you

Me:Your welcome dear
It's just ten pounds ago I had these lovely womanly curves
that I miss

8:32pm
Julia: I must say, it's rather had to imagine you with curves xD

Me:....i looked really pretty .
What do you do to mantain your stick-figure

Julia:I'm sure you did, but you also look gorgeous now
For starters, I'm female
Just the way fat is deposited on the female body means that we generally look thinner
I also am very careful with my diet. I try to eat very healthy meals, and usually restrain myself to eating 1200-1600 calories per day, and to burn at least 200 of those with exercise

Me: aren't humans supposed to eat 2000 calories a day?

Julia:Technically, yes, but eating 1200 is completely healthy, as long as you eat nutritious foods
It's only unhealthy when you eat less than 1000 kal or binge on junk food

Me:Can you teach me your ways?

Julia:There's not much to teach. Eat your veggies, know what you're eating, keep track of calories, exercise

Me:Well what do you eat?

Julia:Pasta, vegetables such as carrots, tomatoes, lettuce, etc.(watery rather than starchy ones), occasionally very lean meats, fruits like clementines, strawberries, grapes; egg white

Me:What are vegetables?

Julia: please say you don't need me to actually define this?

There are no merits to bulimia. Purging makes you hungrier, so you binge and purge, then within minutes you're fucking hungry again. Puking makes you lose your memory and ability to think straight. Your teeth go shit and you do fucking gross things because you're addicted to binging and purging. It's horrible. It's worse than anorexia IMO, having had both. At least when you're anorexic you lose weight.

^^^ Which is why I didn't do it.

Its just that I weighed myself sunday and I gained ten pounds above my normal weight, which made be depressed and when I get depressed my gender dysphoria starts acting up and that really sucks. At least before I was slightly underweight and my body had a womanly shape to it but now that I have thickened a bit I'm entirely manly looking and that makes the gender dysphoria 5 times worse.

And not to derail the conversation, but on another note, who ever doesn't think Gender Identity Disorder isn't a mental disorder is fucking stupid. This shit sucks massive balls. Yea I know some transfolk don't suffer from gender dysphoria, but as someone who does I'd kill to be cisgendered. Or, you know, for a sex change.


Oh an I just confessed my transexuality to my girlfriend.


Me:I hope this doesn't confuse you but sometimes I think I am trans
I hope that doesn't cause any problems

I love you for who you are, no matter whether you're male or female or a squid or something

I had some cashew juice to drink, which was awesome, too - not super sweet like tea or coke but just sweet enough, with a fruity-watery flavor. A piece of fried banana for dessert and a small slice of flan. All for $9 at this little cafe near my house.

Also splinters suck. I just had to dig one out with my hunting knife (it's way sharp so it didn't hurt). It was in my thumb between the two knuckles on the inside face. Awkward spot to get to.

So many women put themselves through such hell over their bodies, and sometimes it seems like radical/queer milieus are little better than other spaces. Case in point, a very close friend keeps bringing up the way she feels like nobody wants to date her because of her less than skinny body, and the people around us (mostly petite femes) keep being like, "Well, no, it's this other thing . . ." or going awkwardly silent. Anyway, she's fucking beautiful, but nobody wants to talk about how "beautiful" doesn't confer social status the way a adherence to certain queer normativities (skinny, white, sideways haircut) does in our context. It's the fucking worst.

The past month at my new school I was sort of depressed that I didn't know anyone. I was depressed I didn't know any women to flirt with (yes, I like flirting, so shoot me). But just yesterday I had an epiphany. This weekend I hung out with my REAL friends. My friends who I have know for over 10 years. And fuck all the young peeps at my new school, because I have the best friends on the planet. They always invite me to shit and always forgive me when I get way too drunk and do something dumb. I don't need more friends, because the bond I do have is amazing. I'm at the school I always wanted to go to. The only thing missing is a love/fling/romance thing. And that is insignificant compared to my homies who always have my back and the school I worked my ass off to get into. I am super lucky and I am going to try to be way more positive about life now that I know that.

It's a process. Forced love is merely coercion on one end and pity on the other. Believe me, I'm speaking from experience.

Love is horrible. It clouds your judgement, hinders you goals, and worst of all, the subject of your love does not feel the same way. I feel like I must purge the love from my system, as it is a cancer, and does not offer any positive effects, only negative effects.

I hate having to talk about mundane, trivial shit when I'm out with people cause for the most part I'm surrounded by fucking philistines who don't want "think about" issues of actual importance, they'd rather discuss what fucking bar to go to on the weekend or something. I'm constantly biting my tongue.

I completely identify with that. It is why I started posting on forums to be honest, many people are not interested in politics or deep thinking - at least in public. I do think that it is because they don't think that they have the power to change it and that would be understandable. I think that if people felt like they had some power they would be more interested in society. I suspect that it will be the same thing with work.

Yeah I think this is pretty accurate and quite frankly I can understand why they wouldn't want to think about all the things wrong with the world, it can be quite depressing; I simply refuse to bury my head in the sand however.

I share that problem. I'm quite stubborn about it.

I don't think "love" is a bad thing. I define love as "The want for an entities best, and the taking of subsequent action to ensure the same". In this way, I love everything in the universe, as I only want its best.

Love for the world is good, we leftists do love the world, as otherwise we wouldn't be leftists.

Stepped out onto the porch to have a smoke and a cup of tea in the nice weather but once I got out there some dude was in the street yelling "Imma bout to come back there and shoot your dumbass".

Same. While none of friends are leftists, we usually have great conversations about history, the future of computers/technology, religion, music, etc. As stated before I have awesome friends. But making new ones is so hard since new people don't seem to be able to delve right into that. They usually just re-hash how drunk they were last weekend or when they ended having sex with someone random. Maybe this is how normal people start off making new friends or keeping old friendships alive. If so, I am not normal at all.

Fuck normal people, us weirdos is where its at.

[A Revolutionary Tool]

I hate people that only talk about sports or girls/guys, it's hard to hang out with them. ESPECIALLY when I'm drunk or high. Like I'm trying to turn this talk about girls I have no clue about into a talk about gender stereotypes/roles. At least when there were lockouts in the NFL and MLB a talk about sports had the potential to become interesting.

I like going to clubs to have a good time though, I love dancing. I hate how people always make it about picking up girls though. I've never gone to a club to pick up girls, I'll go with some girl friends and dance and have a good time, but try going with guys and it's freaking ridiculous.

I like talking about how drunk/high I got last time when I'm with people but it's not like that conversation lasts very long. Usually that conversation only comes up when we're about to get drunk/high again. I hate talking about sex to people though because I've been in that situation so many times where it's a bunch of guys like making a freaking list of whoevers sexual activity and it's just so annoying and I don't want to be brought up in those conversations. Like for real, it's none of your business who that girl slept with, why are you guys talking about it?

[Pelarys]

What's wrong with how we use cheese :confused:

I've seen cheese being eaten with the weirdest thing on several occasion. Even with those sugary, chocolate cracker once! I suppose that was an isolated accident but for some reason it seems that regular bread is not well liked in general, however crackers are such an inefficient substitute to eat cheese. It makes it a lot hard not to get cheese on your hands and leaves only wine to wash out the taste afterward.

[Art Vandelay]

Cheese and crackers is delicious. With an occasional pickle as well.

[Leftsolidarity]

Just earlier today I ate half a block of cheese with a bunch of crackers. Ive done that since I was a kid. Is that not normal outside the US or something?

My parents made me go to some church youth group when I was 12-ish, I have no idea why because my parents aren't that religious really. I hated it so me and a couple friends I made there just ate all the pizza and talked about punk bands (for some reason I distinctly remember a conversation about Anti-Flag) and ignored the jesusy people blabbering about shit in the background.

I was forced into countless churches and youth groups but usually made myself get kicked out of them so I no longer had to go. That guy was the only one I didn't cause shit at cuz he's a fairly chill guy and we would set up skate ramps in the backlot of the church and always just skate after services and over the weekends we go to skateparks and stuff. He's still a loony bible-thumper, though.
