Good to hear you're fine. Won't repeat the closet question, since it seems annoying.

Which, in turn keeps you just as warm as the one you bought from the street vendersI agree. The point is though the increase in price far outstrips the increase in quality. The $3400 (local currency) scarf at Escada is probably better than the $99 one at Tie Rack, but not by that much.
It always amazes me when people work so hard to get money that they never have time to enjoy it. I'd rather have a $10,000/year Trust Fund or something and settle down to do amateur writing and lots of sleeping in some place with low cost of living then work my ass off and have literally everything. Right now I'm only working full time because I need to save money to get a Master's Degree which'd get me a nice cushy uni job where'd I'd have long vacations and plenty of time to lounge in bed.Stop Quoting BenComment

Sounds more like simple shoplifting than robbery

I'm glad you're alright, but this "back in the closet" thing and the other stuff you mentioned certainly is worrisome...
Good luck with the switch

Hey Stew, didn't want sympathy from you. You can go back under your bridge now.
In my town, robbery in general is rare. Armed robbery even more so. I mean, the police don't even carry guns. However, in Ipswich, the nearest big town, there have been an increasing number of robberies involving knives at off-licenses.
As for my family....It's kind of a don't ask, don't tell thing going on. I mean, let's admit it new sweethearts, I'm camp. Usually not flaming but I'm no manly "grunt grunt, Beer. Women!" kinda guy. I'm a drama queen, I listen to disco, I always talk about my girl friends but never mention a girlfriend. That type of stuff. I'm *sure* they know I'm gay but they'll never say it and neither will I cause it just makes life easier. My mum, who does know I'm gay, can't actually bring herself to ever say the "g"-word. It's always "if you still feel that way...." when I talk to her on the phone.
This is the same woman who told me, at 16 years old just after coming out, that she hoped it was a phase. Love her but ****ing hell, I'm never forgiving her for that.
Anyway, I have very recently gotten back in contact with my biological father. Very nice guy but doesn't strike me as the kind of guy that will be joining PFLAG anytime soon. He thinks vegetarians are "strange people" so only God knows what he would think about a gay son. So I'm firmly in the closet with him at the moment.
Oh and how annoying is this: Started seeing this guy. Went extremely well. I accidently left my scarf in his car after one date. He stops calling me. I get this odd excuses when I manage to get through to him (which only happens when I call from a number he doesn't recognise as being mine). He has my scarf!! ARgh.
Oh, thanks for the good thoughts. Love you all. Except you Stew.Exult in your existence, because that very process has blundered unwittingly on its own negation.

Doesn't sound like you were in any particular danger. Still, it is well that you are well.

Man, Starchild, you are really on a lousy streak.
Hope all this crud is merely the prelude to you going into a terrific streak.

My good streak was a month ago when I had a cute new guy in my life who wanted a relationship, a nice job with lots of money, and was having the time of my life. This is the consequence of that.Exult in your existence, because that very process has blundered unwittingly on its own negation.

Sorry to hear about your misfortune Starchild.
At least you didn't get hurt in the robbery.

Its cold out and silk's not too warm.
Pretty much the only concession to aesthetics I've ever made are shaving occasionally, keeping the cute plant watered, and making sure my shot glass look cool and my posters are in good taste. And I'm damn proud of it
