Fitz

ffffffffffffuuuuuuuuuuuuu

No vomit during the partying that I'm aware of. I threw up a good bit of water when trying to rehydrate during my Saturday hangover, but I don't know if that counts.

Thanks for the kind words everyone, it really means a lot to me to know I'm surrounded by such wonderful people. Thanks Matt, your comments when we made the midnight cheeseburger run are what made me actually realize the change in my behavior. I knew I felt more outgoing, but I'm a horrible judge of my own behavior so it didn't occur to me that it was not just an internal difference. You don't have to worry about gay jokes and things like that though, at least not around me; I've spent enough time playing counter-strike that they became meaningless to me years ago. Sometimes I forget too. On a number of occasions I've nearly introduced myself as Fitz to random people, when I only really still use that nickname around you guys.

Hell yeah! I still need to upload my videos of MPI, dude's an endless stream of entertainment after he's had a fifth of scotch.

I wasn't planning to post this here until a bit later, but after seeing the amount of positive energy here I've decided to go ahead and let the cat out of the bag: I am the member Steve was referring to in the beginning of his post. Unlike most people, I did not realize I was gay by the time I was in my teens, and always thought I was solidly heterosexual. It wasn't until earlier this year, having been single for a few years that I finally began to notice an attraction towards other men, which caused me more than a small amount of distress at the time. It reached a point that I needed to confide in someone else, and sent Steve a message one night after I'd been up late thinking about my situation. He was nothing but supportive of helping me work through it, although at the time I wasn't entirely sure what he meant by me having good instincts in choosing to go to him for advice. After sending that message to him and starting the initial dialogue, I quickly felt more and more comfortable with the fact that I was gay, and within days I had become certain and completely okay with it. It made me feel incredibly empowered, like a veil was lifted off my mind. Even in ways unrelated to sexuality I've felt very liberated... I'm significantly more comfortable talking openly to people even if I don't know them, no more quietly sitting off to the side all the time. Some people who've previously met me might have noticed that at CanJam; one person even directly commented on it to me. Now that this is out in the open, everyone can start a new wave of jokes about me and Steve sharing a room for CanJam.

#3: MPI is the motherfucking restaurant.

Go Steve! I'm sure it took a lot to come out on here, and makes me proud to be a part of a community like this that lets everyone truly be themselves. You're right about the stereotypes, I never would've guessed you were gay even after meeting you at CanJam. However, I don't think I really want to ask you about your thunderpants now, nothing personal. I dunno... has the pretty princess "corresponded" with Steve before?

Just stay away from the red vodka.

Back in my room now too. Not looking forward to going home tomorrow at all, I wish this would last forever.

I'm at the hotel bar with a few of the others still here. Any other people still at the hotel should come down.

I'll bet MPI is telling the poor guy all about his cervical cancer right about then. You know exactly where it is mancox2.

We spotted Mike in the hotel and made him pose for a photo

I'm finally up. Bleh.

Woohoo. I think I'm the last one standing. Colin and Scott are still up but they're in their room giggling so I dunno.

I'm still up, let me know when you get in and I'll come down to chill for a bit.

You still need to go back and pick up your popsicle stick kthxbai.

I've stopped drinking since KG kicked everyone out, but I might go hang out at the bar again.

Just got in the hotel, anybody who didn't go with the first group want to get some food?

Sitting at ATL right now, christmonkeys the wifi here is slow as hell.

Yeah but you also think brandy burns the throat, so...

Make sure he behaves during the flight.

You should make him use birth control then.

I was in the next thread over and thought I heard somebody say something about fappin?
