text-align: center;"><br /></div>Hey Ya'll, <div><br /></div><div>I wanted show you how I make a salad, as it might be a bit different than what other people do. Since I'm not a Food or Recipe blogger, so I won't be adding random dribble about how my mother's, brothers sister's, ex wife's, cousin, got lost in the woods in the middle of a snowstorm and found some weird mushroom that inspired them to make a pineapple pizza. </div><div><br /></div><div>When I make salads, I put in my main ingredients and then if I have leftovers of whatever foods, I also put them in there as well. <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>So I'm going to be separating the items into different categories. </div><div><br /></div><div><b>Main</b> - This is what makes the salad the salad<br /><b>Cheeses</b> <br /><b>Fruit</b> - <br /><b>Vegetables </b><br /><b>Meats</b> <br /><b>Seasonings </b><br /><b>Dressing</b> <br /><b>Seeds </b><br /><p><br /></p><p><b><u><span style="font-size: large;">Main</span></u></b> - Basically this is the main part of the salad, whether it's lettuce, spinach leaves, or if you want to just make a pasta salad instead. (Or just all of the above)</p><p><b><span style="font-size: medium;">Spinach leaves</span></b>- Are generally more healthier than just ordinary lettuce, so I prefer to go with this. Personally for me, they have a time limit. Once they get soggy and wet, they taste gross to me and I cannot have them.<br /><br />You can get this in the aisles with lettuce, not that nasty can crap in a can that Popeye was eating in them old shows. </p><p><b><span style="font-size: medium;">Pasta</span> </b>- (Whole grain is healthier just so you know and better in controlling blood sugar)<br />Use the small kind like macaroni or the springs for salads.</p><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b><u>Cheeses</u></b></span></p><p><b><span style="font-size: medium;">Feta cheese </span></b>(Already crumbled)</p><p><b><span style="font-size: medium;">Cheddar Cheese</span></b> - Sometimes I cut up some block cheddar cheese and throw it in there. </p><p><b><span style="font-size: medium;">Mozzerella Cheese</span></b> - I'm very versatile with my Mozzerella cheese, If I have the <b>block cheese</b> from the grocery store that you cut up. But for salads I love using the <b>Fresh Mozzerella</b> cheese, it comes in a oval like shape, it'll be very wet and it comes pre-sliced. If worst comes to worst, I use 1-2 S<b>tring Sheeses </b>and cut it up into little bite sizes and throw it in.</p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>Shredded Mozzarella and or Cheddar </b></span>(or whichever cheese you like)</p><p><br /></p><p><b><u><span style="font-size: large;">Fruit -</span></u></b> Cut up whatever fruit you like.</p><p>For me, I always buy my berries, it's a must have in my refrigerator! Berries also have the lowest sugar, which is great for diabetic or pre-diabetics. </p><p><b><span style="font-size: medium;">Banana</span></b></p><p><b><span style="font-size: medium;">Blackberries</span></b></p><p><b><span style="font-size: medium;">Blueberries</span></b></p><p><b><span style="font-size: medium;">Raspberries</span></b></p><p><b><span style="font-size: medium;">Strawberries</span></b></p><p><b><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></b></p><p><b style="font-size: x-large; text-decoration-line: underline;">Vegetables - </b>Here are my must have vegatables.</p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>Carrots - </b>Shop Rite sells carrot chips or Shredded, which I think is the easiest form of Carrot to have for a salad.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>Peppers</b> </span>- <b><span style="color: #6aa84f;">Green</span>|<span style="color: #f1c232;">Yellow</span>|<span style="color: red;">Red</span></b>. Red is the healthiest.</p><p><b><span style="font-size: medium;">Tomatoes</span></b> - I know it’s a fruit! I like either cut up tomatoes or the grape tomatoes. Like spinach, it tastes terrible if you don't eat it right away, once it starts getting squishy, that means it's no good anymore. </p><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b><u>Meats</u></b></span></p><p><b><span style="font-size: medium;">Chicken</span></b> - Any kind and all kind, you could even get chicken nuggets from the grocery store and tear them into pieces and throw them in.</p><p><b><span style="font-size: medium;">Pepperoni</span></b> - Slices already made from the grocery store are perfect for salads. The consumption amount is about 16 slices. </p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>Steak - </b>Steak can be hard to chew so I recommend cutting them in thin slices.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><b><u><span style="font-size: large;">Seasonings</span></u></b></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>Garlic</b> or <b>Onion</b></span> Salt/powder</p><p><b>Crushed Red Pepper Flakes - </b>I love Crushed Red Pepper for some spice. Just don't put on too much, you don't want to set your mouth on fire! </p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>Parsley<br /><br />Rosemary</b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><b><br /></b></span></p><p><b><u><span style="font-size: large;">Dressing</span></u></b></p><p>I like good seasonings Italian dressing, it’s healthier than the bottled crap, you just need oil and vinegar to make it. Some stores have the Good Seasonings that come with a Glass Dressings bottle to mix and make the dressing! </p><p><b><span style="font-size: medium;">Good Seasons - Italian Dressing</span></b></p><p><b><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></b></p><p><b style="font-size: x-large; text-decoration-line: underline;">Seeds </b>- Are really healthy and packed with all sorts of good stuff.</p><p><b><span style="font-size: medium;">Chia Seeds </span></b></p><p><b><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></b></p><p><b></b></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOD6puqI4kNKiGiBgNpDFW1A5IYFZduuQWDvyiqJzy9BgC6LoVtMqDUWlMXy5U3q6n16q2SnLRrG8Bjztwk2XhyMvxtPJFPArYQCSzCURfgBoTktYY4chTp9joKwDEIpGtvXgThUQ_atqO9JZZQxI2tJf09LUaUCZCYw5k29QEhROdQCfxCT8jrJbm32I/s1104/sala%20d%202.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1104" data-original-width="828" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOD6puqI4kNKiGiBgNpDFW1A5IYFZduuQWDvyiqJzy9BgC6LoVtMqDUWlMXy5U3q6n16q2SnLRrG8Bjztwk2XhyMvxtPJFPArYQCSzCURfgBoTktYY4chTp9joKwDEIpGtvXgThUQ_atqO9JZZQxI2tJf09LUaUCZCYw5k29QEhROdQCfxCT8jrJbm32I/s320/sala%20d%202.jpg" width="240" /></a></b></div><b><br /><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></b><p></p></div>Colorful Dreams - Art By Kaihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08801016857217600157noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8791734122704459619.post-79083454686253701392023-06-14T12:04:00.004-07:002023-06-14T12:04:35.533-07:00Angel Number Meanings<p><b>111 - Manifest</b></p><p>Be careful of your surroundings as consistent thoughts are manifesting quickly into reality. </p><p><b>222 -Take a Balanced, Harmonious and Peaceful stance in all areas of your life.</b></p><p>Keep faith and stand strong. </p><p><b>333 - Growth, Creativity & Joy</b></p><p>Your ascended masters are near you and have responded to your prayers.</p><p><b>444 - Follow your Intuition and Inner-Wisdom</b></p><p>Continue your path as your drive and determination will lead to Success & Fullfillment.</p><p><b>555 - Change </b></p><p>Significant and necessary changes are coming to re-align you with your life path.</p><p><b>666 - Use Creativity Analytics to bring more Positive Outcomes</b></p><p>Be aware to balance your thoughts, a positive vibration brings positive results. </p><p><b>777 - Spiritual Growth</b></p><p>You are here to spiritually evolve and are in alignment and on the right path. </p><p><b>888 - Abundance</b></p><p>Is a sign that Achievement and Abundance is yours and you're on the right track to bring yourself into it.</p><p><b>999 - Completion</b> </p><p>Your current situation is coming to an end so new opportunities can arise. </p>Colorful Dreams - Art By Kaihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08801016857217600157noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8791734122704459619.post-62898357807872676242022-10-20T20:57:00.003-07:002022-10-20T20:57:26.853-07:00I'm the physical embodiment of a Japanese Highschool Girl Part 5<p style="text-align: left;"> Well, Well, Well, if it isn't part three of this ridiculous saga of me breaking my own heart by crushing on guys I have no idea if they're single and into dudes. <br /><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">We're here YET AGAIN!!!</p><p>Sometimes I wish I was asexual, I could just enjoy life instead of getting my heart broken into pieces. </p><p>So it all started in June 2022, my friend Chey and I went to a Crystal store. As we were about to leave, I saw this absolutely stunning ginger wearing a mask. I was like, whoooo is thattt? We kept eying each other, and we were both wearing masks!!! <br /><br />I did some Instagram stalking for the company and found out who this guy was and saw he hosts events there. So me and my good judy Donna, started going to his events! At first, it wasn't working out and I thought, oh it's just some cute guy, a dime a dozen. </p><p>But then, I went to a psychic fair and just wanted to go to the booths. The second I got out of my car, the psychics face was in my head. This meant I needed to see her! So I saw the psychic who was telling me things I didn't tell her. She said that this guy is my "twin flame" and I need to pursue him and how I made an impact on him without knowing it. </p><p>This time, it was very obvious that he is LGBT. <br /></p><p>Here's where things get weird.... AGAIN....</p><p>Like the second Ace, he's a ginger and like Scotty, he's about 8 years younger than me. </p><p>1. We have the same birthday, December 20th.<br />2. We both have a red phone and hate the cold weather.<br />3. We're both artists who are also into spiritual stuff. <br />4. He is more of a listener and isn't great at disengaging a conversation. </p><p>When I say, there were so many signs this was supposed to happen, I mean it! From seeing heart shaped clouds in the sky when thinking about him, to doing pick a card tarot readings that were all saying the same thing! I just kept seeing signs.<br /></p><p>I figured since I was starting to get on the right path, both spirtually and career wise, I thought that for once things were going to go right and that it was just a matter of time!</p><p>Unfortunately, that didn't last.</p><p>It took a while, but me and Donna were getting him out of his shell. He was clearly very guarded, but he started getting comfortable around us.</p><p>One day, we both went in for his session and I got this strange vibe. Something was off. <br /><br />So the last time I saw him, I gave him a present because I felt he needed it. I can tell when a crystal is calling someone so I got him one. I also put in a Saggitarius bracelet. So that day, he gave me the Saggitarius bracelet back and said thank you for giving it to him, but he doesn't wear bracelets. I got a weird vibe from the interaction as well. </p><p>At some point, he mentioned he had a partner and I was distraught. I was shocked! Like this didn't make any sense, the signs were all saying it would be happening eventually.</p><p>I was stunned, just stunned. Now I'm confused!!<br /></p><p>It's like why does this happen, I always end up liking a guy and he always ends up being straight and the one time I like someone who's queer and he's unavailable!! I don't get it!!! </p><p>So here's the thing, that day, me and Chey went to the crystal store and saw him. We were supposed to go somewhere
completely different but Donna told us go to this store. If it wasn't for us going there on that day, we wouldn't have seen the ginger and we probably wouldn't have gone back to this place!<br /><br />I thought that this was some sort of divine timing, like I wasn't looking for a boyfriend and then bam, who is this?! We weren't even going to go there and yet we ended up there and if it wasn't for knowing Chey, I probably would have just gone there one time with Donna the previous week and that's it, never again. After going there, we found another Crystal store that has more events so we kind of gravitate towards that one now.<br /></p><p>1. Everyone always has a 2 or 8 year difference from me. <br /></p><p><br /></p>Colorful Dreams - Art By Kaihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08801016857217600157noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8791734122704459619.post-27327358283589601912022-10-20T20:03:00.005-07:002022-10-20T20:03:51.392-07:00Why do the guys I have crushes on, end up being very Similar, but different from each other?I'm noticing something strange about the guys I've had crushes on, some had weird similarities.

I WAS DEVESTATED, I was literally depressed for 4 days and I really do think I was experiencing heartbreak, despite ever being with him.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><b><u>It took me almost two years to fully get over him. <span style="color: red;">I KNEW HIM FOR TWO MONTHS!!</span></u></b></div><div><br /><b>Notable Features</b>: He was 2 years younger than me, bald by choice, had nice muscles, and a Criminal Justice Major. Has the same name as other guys I unintentionally ended up liking later on, who had similar descriptions.</div><div><div><br /><b><u>2017:</u></b> "<b>Scotty</b>" - Was this quiet guy I worked with who I had a crush on just because I didn't have a crush on anyone, and I for some reason felt the need to crush on someone. I just thought he was cute, but the more I worked with him, the more I developed a crush on him. </div><div><br /></div><div>Eventually, I realized he reminded me of my brother, and I pretty much lost all attraction to him. lol</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Notable Features</b>: He was about 8 years younger than me, my gawd, am I a cougar?! lol (I was 27 and he was 19)</div><div><div><br /><b><u>2018</u></b>: "<b>Second Ace</b>", This guy worked in another department of a job I had. I believe I had passed by him before, but I didn't "notice" him until the company had a party, where I got to see him close up. I never did get to talk to him, but for some reason, he was ALWAYS on my mind. He made me feel similar to the first Ace, where I had this feeling of being high when I saw him. <br /><br />In this case, I am 95% sure he was actually gay. Also, he was a ginger, and most male gingers are gay. I don't make the rules, I just abide by them.<br /><br /><b>Notable Features</b>: He was approximately, also two years younger than me, a CJ major and the first Ginger guy I had a crush on.</div><div><br /><b><u>2019:</u></b> "Davey", who to this day, is the only guy I had a crush on that I became friends with. I knew he was straight from the beginning, but I still developed a crush on him. It was hard not to, he is literally the sweetest guy I've ever met, he's such a good person that it's hard not to, he also has such a cute laugh. I will say, there were certain things that did make me question his sexuality, so some of it was, wait, is he really straight?! One of the ladies I worked with even said there's something else there. But it wasn't for me to discover anyways.</div><div><br /></div><div>My crush on him did fluctuate and it did go away at times. Everyone likes the bad boys, but I like the sweet guys. Honestly, I think I really was falling for him. If this man came out of no where, got on one knee and proposed to me, I'd say yes.<br /><br />Nearing the end of working with him, I started to get high off working with him. He just made me feel so good! One time, I asked if he wanted to hang out, and he rejected me. Similarly to the first Ace, I got a bit of heartbreak because of it. </div><div><br /></div><div>Shortly after, I got a new job. We're basically pen pals since he doesn't want to hang out, but I also understand that he has a kid.</div><div><br /><br /><b>Notable Features</b>: He happens to be two years older than me, certain things about him reminded me of the first Ace.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>2019:</b> Ace 3, who I worked with alongside Davey. He was the son of the owner of the job I worked for. Probably the sexiest man I've ever met in my entire life! Oh my god, that man could have his way with me any day of the week! He is however, a complete idiot and a jerk off. lol<br /></div><div><br /></div><div><b>Notable Features: </b>Also named Ace, Bald, and had nice muscles like the first Ace. His department was the Drug and Alcohol Testing department, so in a way, he was the Criminal Justtice section like the previous two Aces. (He was about 8 years older than me, I was 29-31, he was 37-40)</div><div><b><br /></b></div><div><div><b>2021: Rowan</b>: Was another guy I worked with, I didn't really pay any attention to him until he shaved his really ugly beard off. It made me think about that Spongebob meme, where Squidward goes "OH NO!!! HES HOTT!!!!".</div><div><br /></div><div>I rarely saw him, but there were a few times where I daydreamed about him and was able to feel this feeling of "High", that some of the previous guys made me feel.<br /><br />After that, I was like helllloooo sirrrr. He worked the warehouse, but always came in with a designer jacket and button up shirt. He cleaned up super nice! He was also a sweetheart too, he would bake cupcakes for everyone in the office and other similar things. He had such an adorable laugh as well.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Notable Features</b>: He was about 2 years younger than me as well!</div><div><br /><b>2022: Gael </b>- This guy that I made eye contact with at a store, I felt like it was mutual and I knew he worked there so I looked up the store's instagram and found out he does classes there. So I signed me and my friend up! lol</div></div></div></div></div><div><br /></div><div>The week before his class, I couldn't stop thinking about him. It was wild. But when the class finally came, I was confused, I was like wait, am I attracted to him? He is absolutely adorable and very clearly gay! lol</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Notable Features</b>: He's a Ginger like the second Ace and the same age as Scotty. <br /></div><div><br /></div><div><b>2022: Basil</b> - I started a new job and everyone is old and then you have this BEEFCAKE who wears tight clothing and has muscles for daysssss. Sweet baby jesus, is he delicious!</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Notable Features</b>:Clearly much older than me, very similar vibes to the third Ace. Who was HOTTTTTTT. Except this guy seems like a decent dude. Also, they both have ameezing rump roasts, if you get what I meannnn ;)</div><div><br /></div><div>• For the First two Aces, Scotty, Davey, Rowan and Gael, I was not attracted to them right away. My attraction to them grew over time. <br /><br />The only ones I thought were hot off the bat was Ace 3 and Basil<br /></div>Colorful Dreams - Art By Kaihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08801016857217600157noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8791734122704459619.post-41150803067249590592022-10-20T19:15:00.008-07:002022-10-22T23:51:09.360-07:00The Crush Saga! - I truly am the Physical Embodiment of a High School Girl<p> Here's me being a hopeless romantic idiot, who falls for every cute guy that just so happens to be straight or with someone.

What is supposed to be such a "Wonderful time of the year", becomes such a "Nightmare time of the year". People love to show how awful they are to Customer Service Employees, especially during the holidays.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I was rarely ever cursed out during the normal season, but around the holidays, I was never shy of being cursed out just for telling people the carts didn't go outside, or called stupid just because I asked the lady if she still wanted the item, even though it was a bit different in size. (Usually people buy the item because they like it so much, even if it's a little bigger.)</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">For my retail escapades, check out my Retail Stories tag. <br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">https://hotspotsportal.blogspot.com/search/label/Retail%20Stories</span></div><p><u><b><span style="font-size: large;">2. </span></b></u><b><span style="font-size: large;">My birthday is near Christmas - </span></b><span style="font-size: medium;">This means that when I ask people to go out with me for my birthday, they can't make it because....</span></p><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>A</b>.

They get so into Christmas, that they don't care about other Holidays like Halloween (Clearly, the best Holiday of all time!) Obviously it's fine to like a holiday, but talking about it so often just comes off weird and annoying. Like I don't want to think about Christmas, or cold weather, when I'm enjoying a nice warm day in August. </span><br /></p><p><u><b><span style="font-size: large;">5.

It's like if you found an island and started praying that you love this island so much and everyone that has a problem with your island is an enemy, it's just a weird mindset to get into!<br /><br />It's just a bunch of land, <span style="font-size: large;">like that's all it is!</span></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I also don't get people who can like a country, but have so many issues with it's laws. It's rather counterproductive, like if you have a problem with laws, then you can't love the country! <br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><u><span style="font-size: large;"><b>My take </b></span></u></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><u><span style="font-size: large;"><b></b></span></u></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><u><span style="font-size: large;"><b><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgniqpnAWvwmDdxvKmud0WvSTdoo40_KDVQcN238VAc0zaY6WQptn6K1r0FLLuP9KXR_dVG9XXmMae10DbGkemaYR8g_wuKBZu8rwO9DNd0h8Fer3VGUqPV6E6pnx5bED_rUgJw9YvK1A8/s321/Red+White+and+Blue.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="194" data-original-width="321" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgniqpnAWvwmDdxvKmud0WvSTdoo40_KDVQcN238VAc0zaY6WQptn6K1r0FLLuP9KXR_dVG9XXmMae10DbGkemaYR8g_wuKBZu8rwO9DNd0h8Fer3VGUqPV6E6pnx5bED_rUgJw9YvK1A8/s320/Red+White+and+Blue.png" width="320" /></a></b></span></u></span></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><u><span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span></u><br /></span><p></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">People who are very patriotic (or religious for that matter) to the point that the only conversation they can hold is about their country (& or Religion), are boring and have no personality. (That's on periodt.) I've met and worked with plenty of people like this and <span style="font-size: large;"><b>they were so boring! </b></span>(<i><b>And rude</b></i> for that matter) They had nothing interesting to talk about and were very nasty and hateful in general. No one liked them because they were such an awful person.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><i><b>Also</b></i></span><br /></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">America in particular, should not have "In God We Trust", or having god in the pledge of allegiance, since the country was <b>literally founded </b>on "<b>Freedom of Religion</b>", which many Americans have seem to forgotten! </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>Quick Note</b>: Maybe it's just me, but the Pledge of Allegiance kind of comes off a bit cult-y to me. <br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">I'd personally love to move out of America, but because I don't have any money (Because of how America is with the rich getting richer), I can't. Not to mention, I'd preferably like to move somewhere warm, that is also Gay friendly. Unfortunately, I don't know if there is a place like that outside of California. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><u><b>Is it racist to be <span style="color: red;">P</span>a<span style="color: #0b5394;">t</span><span style="color: red;">r</span>i<span style="color: #0b5394;">o</span><span style="color: red;">t</span>i<span style="color: #0b5394;">c</span>?</b></u></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Well no, that's just silly. The reason why so many people associate being Patriotic with Racism, is because many EXTREMELY Patriotic people are racist and that's where the association comes from. Like if so many patriotic people weren't racist, then the connotation Patriotic people being Racist, wouldn't exist. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: large;"><u><b>Anyways..</b></u></span><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;">From my experience, there seems to be a very specific mindset for people who just LOVE their country soooo much! (Rude and has no personality.)</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Don't get me wrong, you can love your country as much as you want, I'm not saying you can't. But when it's all you can talk about, and you make it your ENTIRE personality, that's when it gets weird and concerning. <br /><br /><u><b>Well that happened</b></u>...<br /></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Now that I think of it, I remember a time when I was in Middle School. A Hall Monitor told me I needed to sit down once I get to class and when I got there, the Pledge of Allegiance came on and I still sat there. I have a habit of doing what people tell me to do, (which gets me into bad situations like being sexually harassed by the <a href="https://hotspotsportal.blogspot.com/2015/06/bus-drivers-are-crazy.html">bus driver</a>.) When all of a sudden, my teacher started yelling at me that I needed to stand up for the pledge of allegiance. (Like literally by law, you don't have to do the Pledge if you don't want to.) But in this case it was because I was told to sit down, otherwise I would have done it because that's just what I was told to do. <br /></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Check out this article I found on the subject, they made some really interesting points as well. </span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/our-humanity-naturally/201609/why-instilling-patriotism-is-so-ludicrous">Why Instilling Patriotism is Ludicrous</a> <br /></span></p>Colorful Dreams - Art By Kaihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08801016857217600157noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8791734122704459619.post-31423718516391140712021-05-06T13:17:00.001-07:002021-05-06T13:17:00.178-07:00Wild Office Stories: This is what we found on the floor!<p><span style="font-size: medium;">I may have gotten out of retail, but that doesn't mean I don't deal with nutty people! </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Here are some stories of bizarre individuals I've found myself meeting while in an office setting. </span><br /></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><u><b>What are those... exactly? </b></u></span><br /></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">One time this lady came into the office, looking like a ragamuffin with her torn up clothes.

A Homophobe right under my nose! <p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;">In 2014, I posted on Facebook, why being Gay is <b><u>NOT</u></b> a choice. I referenced my blog post that I made, which you can find ></span><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="http://hotspotsportal.blogspot.com/2014/06/why-being-gay-is-genetic-and-not-choice.html">Here</a><</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #d9ead3;"><span style="font-size: large;"><u><b>Short Version: </b></u></span></span><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">A so called friend I met from my Formspring days had decided to argue with me that being gay was a choice, despite me telling him that it's not a choice and that I never chose to be gay and how no one in their right mind would choose something that is widely hated and discriminated against.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><i><b><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #ffa400;"><span style="color: #ff00fe;">"</span>My friend Van:</span> Why would anyone want to be gay though? You live a harder life because of it!<span style="color: #ff00fe;">"</span></span></b></i> <br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">The Formspring friend provided sources that he praised, even though they were not factual and just opinions made by the source.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">If you're curious to see the Conversation, I copied and pasted it from when it happened. (It's been hibernating in this blog for so many years!)</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #9fc5e8;"><span style="font-size: large;"><u><b>Long Version:</b></u></span></span> <br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><u><b>Before we get into this pile of trash</b></u></span> </p><p style="text-align: center;"><u><span style="font-size: large;"><i><b> Let me tell you my two cents</b></i></span></u><br /></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">What I think is weird is, if you think being gay is a choice, then you think everyone chose to be gay. With that logic, It's like if someone hates Salami, but you don't believe it's possible to hate Salami and you tell Salami haters that they do like Salami and are just choosing not to eat it because they're "Rebellious" and want to be "Quirky", or some other asinine reason.<br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">That's a very similar take, like the person doesn't like Salami and you're telling them that they're lying to themselves about how they feel about something, when obviously you aren't them so you wouldn't understand their dislike for Salami!</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Like people get so annoyed that they can't relate with someone on something, that they have to hate them for it, or just flat out say it doesn't exist when it does!</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">People saying being gay is a choice is like saying that person is lying to themselves, when they know damn well better about themselves than you do. No one is going to lie about being gay (except for those rude people who do it for clout, those people should be ignored.)</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">It's so weird that people try to force their ideology on others, like who are you to tell me on how I should or should not feel?! </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDKcAdRX8TsZfB3rC-Rcc8R2NWDs1lnGeMzI8eghJ8JHb3SuHts4fMWnGnWliWH3mJlYe6_FEVWlrTQ1HQ6npc3_cziovLGkKKMMHjgvo-gLwU38svbAWpDw9GuEOHKsykavVEFgR-UBE/s259/Glo-Rya.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="259" data-original-width="258" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDKcAdRX8TsZfB3rC-Rcc8R2NWDs1lnGeMzI8eghJ8JHb3SuHts4fMWnGnWliWH3mJlYe6_FEVWlrTQ1HQ6npc3_cziovLGkKKMMHjgvo-gLwU38svbAWpDw9GuEOHKsykavVEFgR-UBE/w199-h200/Glo-Rya.png" width="199" /><br />Why you be playing with my emotions?! <br /><br /></a></span></div><p></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">The only lie I lived was thinking I was straight, which is a byproduct of only seeing straight people in Tv shows and Video Games, I didn't even know you could be LGBT because the straight agenda has been shoved down our throats our entire lives.

I've never even seen that before, but I call BS on it.. I am not a fan of religious/republican sites... but that one seems fishy. If someone doesn't agree with it, I am sure they could make up a story like that.<br /></span>

Okay, so I skimmed the article you posted before, but this time I actually read it.. and it's actually not any sort of research, all they did was pick out what they thought was odd from another article online.. there was no actual scientific research on their part at all... just opinions and conclusions they came up with. You really can't base anything off of that.<br /></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><br />
I hope you're being sarcastic, but I can't completely tell as I have a clueless personality. lol<br />
But, if you're are being 100% serious, I will ask you if you actually read my blog post.. because I explained everything there.<br />
I cannot get a hard on for a woman, it is not possible.. I did not want to be gay at first.. I would have chosen to be straight if it was possible, but it's not.<br />
I have no attraction towards women, just like how a straight person can't be attracted to someone of the same gender.. it's not possible.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /><span style="color: #9fc5e8;"><br /><u><b>Fish-Paste:</b></u></span><br />

<span style="font-size: medium;"><br /><span style="color: #9fc5e8;"><u><b>Fish-Paste:</b></u></span><br />
I honestly think it's a choice.<br /></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><br />
Don't believe me? Just look at the lifestyle choices of David Bowie from the 70's through today and TRY to tell me it's not a personal choice.<br /></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;"></span><p></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">(<span style="color: red;"><b>Editors Comment:</b></span> They seem to be confusing Personal tastes in Fashion with being gay, which is not the same thing. Also, clothes don't have genders, let people wear what they want! Men used to wear high-heels and dresses back in the day, but somewhere along the line it changed into a "womens only" kind of thing.)<br /></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><br /><span style="color: #ff00fe;"><u><b>Me: </b></u></span><br />
Well, I KNOW It is not a choice. I guess we all have our opinions, even if we don't agree with them. But, I don't see why anyone would choose to allow themselves to be hated by thousands of people, beaten and tortured.<br />
I know I didn't. It's just not physically possible to choose who to be attracted to.<br />
I know I can't change your mind, we all have our opinions.. fact or not.<br /></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><br />
David Bowie sounds like he has/had a hormone imbalance, he just didn't know what he was into and unlike most, he didn't know until he was older.. Either that or he is bisexual if anything, but mainly heterosexual with slight bisexual tendencies. It's not just black and white, it's a whole spectrum. Someone could be bi and only be attracted to one person of one gender and attracted plenty of people of another gender.<br /><br /></span>
</p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><i><b>Refer to the Kinsey Scale.</b></i><br /></span><br /><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinsey_scale">Kinsey scale - Wikipedia</a></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><br />
But, you cannot make an opinion on just one person. Some people are just different like that, but most people know what they like, whether it is straight, gay, bi, pansexual... etc..</span><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
</p><p style="text-align: left;"></p><p style="text-align: left;"></p><p style="text-align: left;"></p><p style="text-align: left;"></p><p style="text-align: left;"></p><p style="text-align: left;"></p><p style="text-align: left;"></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>Then I had linked my friend Victor... he was recently talking to me about how the guy didn't listen to him either. </b></span></p><p>

Correction being gay is neither a choice or a genetic disorder. It is in fact a physical or mental attraction to the same sex. While it is true that most homosexuals have certain traits<br /></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;">very small and very exact, however the human body will respond to almost all types of stimuli if touched erotically especially in certain erogenous areas of the body (read up on certain sexual abuse situation and how others try expound on the victims arousal) however it is the mind that tells us off attraction and since you both are fond of science than you both should know that attraction is caused by pheromones we put out and how others respond to these pheromones. So a homosexual is really just responding to these pheromones that males produce instead of a females, also one cannot count religion in any argument via that there are other religions and in ancient times homosexuality was more common than weather shifts, But I Digress. While there are heterosexuals that have at times chose live the heterosexual lifestyle that does not include the entire gay population, For instance a female that will engage in homoerotic contact with another female for her significant others viewing pleasure or for another males attention or even male and female actors in the adult industry that perform homosexual sex as part of there job.</span><span style="font-size: medium;"> So in essence both of you are right and wrong. Not to mention I don't see the big deal, I have sex men and women and even partake in orgies. As far as I'm concerned its not really topic worthy. However also the whole gay gene inst what people mean by born gay but if you want to say there might be, than bring up the fact that most homosexuals have certain physical features that seem to match and coincide with other homosexuals, and no not that horrible lisp dear god, but certain eye-shape, body type both tiny and big, its no exact but pretty close.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">So remember attraction is caused by pheromones and how we respond, things like homosexuality and heterosexuality is actually all about your nature vs nurture, because before we did gender-base and sexualize most societies were very sexually open. Well except when it came to children that was non negotiable as I understand. The old native Americans called it two-soul, a person born with the soul or spirit of a man and woman in one body when it came to homosexuality. When it changed I have no idea.<br /></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><br />
Hope that helps your argument because friends shouldn't fight<br /></span>

Mail Room -</b> Automatic Staplers exist. (I wasn't aware of this until I worked this job.)<br /></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>2. Social Services - </b>There are Not For Profit organizations that help the unemployed that are on Government assistance to get jobs! (I was the one who looked up jobs online and sent job ads to the clients)<br />(This is a United States only fact, I don't know if other countries do this.)<br /></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>3.</b> <b>Retail</b> -Different colored items in a store might be a different price because some colors sell more than others, so they discount the ones that aren't selling as well so they can sell the product.</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">So if the <span style="color: red;"><b>Red Dress</b></span> is 19.99 and the <span style="color: #6aa84f;"><b>Green Dress</b></span> is 16.99, it's because the <span style="color: #38761d;"><b>Green Dress</b></span> isn't selling as well. <br /></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>4. Private Investigation Industry</b> - In United States, any vehicle with a license plate that has two letters at the end of the license plate number is a Commercial Vehicle. <u><b>Example:</b></u><b> </b>1234-AB. <br /></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>5.</b> <b>Trucking Industry</b> - United States of America, Canada and Europe, have road regulations that trucking companies have to follow to make sure the roads are safe and to prevent accidents! These companies also have to pay extra taxes, to ensure their vehicles are safe enough to be on the road.</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><b> 6. Eco-Friendly Industry</b> -Eco-Friendly disposable products can be made out of materials such as Bamboo, and Palm Leaves. <br /></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>7. Restoration Services Industry</b> - When someone's house is damaged, they have to create a blueprint of the house, including how measurements of the house and mark what has been damaged.

Which is rather bizarre since, why do you care so much about how someone else lives their life? Quite frankly it's no one's business why someone may or may not drink and it gets annoying after a while when someone harasses me every time they see me, trying to get me to drink when I've told them countless times, <u><b>I don't drink</b></u>! </span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I should just ask these people what food they hate and then just try to get them to eat it, see how they like it!! </span><b><br /></b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b> Anyways... here's why I don't drink.<br /></b></span></p><p><b><span style="font-size: medium;">1. Alcohol tastes disgusting!<br /></span></b></p><p><b><span style="font-size: medium;">2. Hangovers</span></b></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">The idea of having a terrible headache and throwing up next day is not my idea of a good time. Like why would someone want to do something that makes you intentionally sick?! I hate being sick and I don't like throwing up, so why do something that would make it happen?<br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"> <span style="color: #c27ba0;"><span style="color: #cfe2f3;"><b>I'm scratching my head trying to understand the appeal to alcoholic beverages!</b></span> <br />
</span><b><br />3. People get mad at you because you're not a drinker, or they try to force you to drink. </b><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">You have people like my aunt and uncle, who always pester me into
trying to get me to drink alcohol. Like any time I see them, they try to
force alcoholic beverages on me, and I always say no. In some cases, they make a comment saying they "spiked" my drink, or make some lame joke that it doesn't have alcohol, in a fashion in which they seem disappointing I won't drink...</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Sometimes they
even hand me a cup randomly, and try to get me to drink what's in it.
I'm just like, you know I don't like alcohol, so why are you giving me
this? </span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #ffd966; font-size: medium;"><span><i><b>One time I even told my uncle, Sorry I'm not an alcoholic like
you!</b></i></span></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">If you're going to be annoying, then I'm just going to get bitchy
about it!</span></b></p><p><br /></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipBhDH9CurxCSMCrIRlcz-XUg40H6HSr7OS3JEGSFdjYWncaI9aZyZXeXVNw0cRnvqHSqxcskh1PH6T9NMx5vfcG-ImkDOwkpbhN3w6II5xN1y2l-mZJGuUWbsYC-lAn4fBmXeo0yzM4U/s1248/Wine+glass.png" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1248" data-original-width="534" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipBhDH9CurxCSMCrIRlcz-XUg40H6HSr7OS3JEGSFdjYWncaI9aZyZXeXVNw0cRnvqHSqxcskh1PH6T9NMx5vfcG-ImkDOwkpbhN3w6II5xN1y2l-mZJGuUWbsYC-lAn4fBmXeo0yzM4U/s320/Wine+glass.png" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"> <br /></td></tr></tbody></table><br /> <p></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">What really pissed me off, is this one time I posted on Instagram that it was
my birthday, all of my friends commented saying "Happy Birthday!". My
aunt commented on my Instagram saying "Go have a beer". No Happy
Birthday, no anything. Just, go have a beer! Seriously?! That comment
really bothered me.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">My friends don't have a problem with my not being a drinker, and if
anything I can be the designated driver! </span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: large;">(Maybe make some extra cash driving everyone home lol)</span><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">This has been going on for years at this point, and it's so frustrating.
Like why does it bother them so much that I don't drink? Like it
doesn't involve you, so why does it matter?</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><i> We also have had family

Alcohol can lead to death due to a variety of ways. </b><br />When I say this, I don't mean that I'm thinking "I wouldn't drink alcohol because it can lead to death!" That's not what I mean, what I'm saying is due to the effects of alcohol, it can lead to people dying in various ways. <br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">• We've had a distant relative who got so drunk, she passed out in the shower while it was turned on hot and she basically boiled herself to death!</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">• A recent passing we had, was a cousin who was on painkillers and drank alcohol (The bottles on medicine always say, DO NOT DRINK ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES while taking this item), he literally dropped dead and the only person home was his young teen.<br />
<br />
• Not to mention, all of the lives in general lost to Drunk Drivers. There's so much innocent killing that is caused by Drunk Driving. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Shouldn't someone who doesn't want to drink be praised? Ok so maybe praised is a little narcissistic, but it should at the very least be Respected, Encouraged as a good thing!</span><br /></p><p><u><span style="font-size: large;"><b>One time I was in a car with my friend Donna</b></span></u>,<span style="font-size: medium;"> and our friends Victor and Val were driving in a separate car. We were in the left lane and Donna spots a car in front of us <b>COMING TOWARDS US</b>!!! Like they were driving the wrong way!! Luckily we were able to get out of the way. Unfortunately, they crashed into an SUV, but the only person that got hurt was the driver (Who died. We found this information out a year later, we didn't witness it happen)<br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">It was a wild experience and a wild thing to happen, fortunately one of the only stories where the innocent weren't killed.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiC7RwEfv1Og_w590UZ1qZOcXSwiqAsbjCL3Dvn82jgIu1tvB3Z4xaKqu_WeIRYhkqi2IvuZMEwlZ27WY36XM8tvI2SezwqLSYgGg4-GYe8HWvBchl8pquYCPRbPessKcONiMYLpdVhl1U/s1000/limo-rwb.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="500" data-original-width="1000" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiC7RwEfv1Og_w590UZ1qZOcXSwiqAsbjCL3Dvn82jgIu1tvB3Z4xaKqu_WeIRYhkqi2IvuZMEwlZ27WY36XM8tvI2SezwqLSYgGg4-GYe8HWvBchl8pquYCPRbPessKcONiMYLpdVhl1U/s320/limo-rwb.png" width="320" /></a></span></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /> </span><p></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>5.

Because of this, I have the privileged of being hidden under the radar and don't deal with homophobes unless they know that I'm gay. But that doesn't mean I haven't had any run ins with homophobes. <br /></p><p>Here are three times I ran into a homophobe, which were all things that happened to me at different jobs I worked at. (Also conveniently the first three jobs I had in a row)</p><p><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">"How do you know you're gay if you've never been with a woman?" </span></b><br /></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">At my first job in a mail room, I had a guy ask me how do I know I'm gay if I've never been with a woman. At the time, I didn't know what to say, so I just said that I'm just not into them. If I could go back in time, I'd say "How do you know you're not gay if you've never been with a man!?". Sometimes you have to throw their ignorance back at them!</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOXByJ_8HleYZmrmfu7Z5ynM7SubzLjoiRXxom1T_rndg6ssYvk9a6QbbRwZwo_AksC3OmOthmtU-obO61VLwfbAKJh7PzM2K20NMbJlDU5jkZbjreYTv8z18IkpqV0ria5GD8FQoqv_0/s765/Hearts+Rainbow.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="506" data-original-width="765" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOXByJ_8HleYZmrmfu7Z5ynM7SubzLjoiRXxom1T_rndg6ssYvk9a6QbbRwZwo_AksC3OmOthmtU-obO61VLwfbAKJh7PzM2K20NMbJlDU5jkZbjreYTv8z18IkpqV0ria5GD8FQoqv_0/s320/Hearts+Rainbow.png" width="320" /></a></div><br /> <p></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">My first Office Job</span></b></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><u><b>Story 1: </b></u><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">For whatever reason, some of my coworkers at the time were talking about shootings or something like that during a lunch break.<br /><br />When we went back to our desks I was telling one of the ladies "Libby" that a 15 year old boy got shot in the face for asking a 14 year old boy out. </span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">This lady started to laugh hysterically, like it was the funniest thing she'd ever heard in her life. I was mortified, this woman was a monster to think that was funny. </span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><u><b>Story 2: </b></u><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">There was this other time back in 2012 when DC was revealing that one of their characters was gay (It ended up being the Green Lantern, but at the time it was a big reveal everyone was talking about!)</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Me and two of the girls were trying to figure out who it was, my work bestie at the time "Gwen" said it couldn't be Superman because Lois would be really mad if he was gay. lol<br /></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Gwen asked Libby who she thought the gay superhero could be, Libby got really uncomfortable and started acting weird and she just said she didn't know. Like it was such a weird interaction, that I knew that gay people made her uncomfortable just for existing. <br /></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOZzj-PlIc1_aZBs1fbxadwGYFbi15-ZCOmNfv1WoWoepeglK0mPep0M27Uqhvcb1xUMOlLuNUf7nbPqEv7dWTvPYdsjYiVoIJPyzXHjLz-0rmhjZM30a5PgftQiaXItoQ-cFFwtXjwUA/s345/heart+rainbow.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="304" data-original-width="345" height="177" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOZzj-PlIc1_aZBs1fbxadwGYFbi15-ZCOmNfv1WoWoepeglK0mPep0M27Uqhvcb1xUMOlLuNUf7nbPqEv7dWTvPYdsjYiVoIJPyzXHjLz-0rmhjZM30a5PgftQiaXItoQ-cFFwtXjwUA/w201-h177/heart+rainbow.png" width="201" /></a></div><br /><p style="text-align: left;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">"That's Disgusting!" </span></b><br /></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">When I was in retail, we had this mentally disabled woman "Coffee" (She had a tendency to drool and I'll never forget the time she had just had some coffee... This scene is ingrained in my brain unfortunately.)</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">She's not all there in the head, but she's able to drive and she can make some conversation. She can clean up a department, but she also has to ask everyone if she's doing good, and also likes to complain sometimes about how I didn't get anything done (As I tend to get stuck on register, because the lack of cashiers), while there are other days where she says I do such a great job. It was always a mystery with her. <br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">She was talking about runway shows to one of the cashiers, and I said she should watch Ru Pauls drag race, she said she "wouldn't go that far", "that's disgusting". </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">I was taken back, even though I live in a much more lgbt friendly area. The homophobia, and Transphobia is still around... and even yet, someone had to specifically have taught her that being gay, or Crossdressing, was wrong and or disgusting. Since she is special needs, I don't think she would have normally come up with such a conclusion unless someone specifically told her to feel that way.<br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">There was another time where I saw a pair of socks with an owl, or some type of animal and I said I wanted them for myself. She said she saw them in the womens section and I should go and look for them.<br /><br />This comment made me believe that she genuinely wouldn't have an issue with crossdressing or lgbt people, it's just that someone put it into her brain that it was wrong, so when certain words pop up, it just triggers a negative response in her.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">After that, I knew what not to say around her.
Regardless, this really hit me, and I kept thinking about it for two days after the fact. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">This reminded me as to why I don't tell people my sexuality, until I know they don't have a problem with lgbt people. I don't need the headache! I'm oversensitive, and it'll just bother me for while, like this time. </span></p><p> </p>Colorful Dreams - Art By Kaihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08801016857217600157noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8791734122704459619.post-17856915672950097172021-03-18T12:40:00.005-07:002021-05-16T15:59:43.918-07:00Retail Stories : Urine Trouble!! <p><span style="font-size: medium;">Here are some gross bodily fluid related stories that I, or someone I know experienced while in retail. </span><u><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></u></p><p><b><u><span style="font-size: large;">You pee in it, you buy it!</span></u></b><br /></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">A customer had their kids running around the store on their own, and one little girl ended up peeing in the little kids potty that we were selling.

I knew he was straight from the start for once, so I wasn't going to try anything.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I was starting to really like this guy, but because I knew he was straight, I knew it wasn't going to happen. (Which in a way is nice since I did NOT know the first three dudes well enough to know their sexuality, in fact, one of them is still a mystery to me.)<br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Two years later and you can only imagine the emotional rollercoaster I've had with this boy. He's honestly the perfect regular guy, he's not hot, he's not gorgeous, he's just cute and he's a really nice guy. <br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br />(The three other guys I've been talking about were all cute or gorgeous etc...)</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br />We have the same hobbies, we're both nerds, he's a super sweet guy. Like my type really is the nice guy. Sure, he makes lame jokes that only a straight boy would make, like making a joke he's going to charge 5 dollars for helping me with a small task (In which I responded, I could pay in other ways, but that would be considered sexual harassment. He never said that to me again lol.), or making some ridiculous scheme where he wants me to photoshop him in a casino where hes making money. (In which I offered to photoshop him six feet under the ocean instead.).</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br />But what it comes down to it, is that oddly enough, it's a part of his charm. He's actually a really nice person who I feel is very protective of the people he cares about. He's really supportive too, Like one time, I said I needed to get out more to try and get a bf and he said that I should do that with the new year, ironically the coronavirus pandmeic started after that so that never happened.<br /><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Another time, some random hot guy messaged the company facebook account and they were flirting and saying that the boss was so hot (Despite the FB profile picture being a logo, maybe he things logos are hot?)<br />I made some ridiculous story saying the boss was taken but her son was single and thinks he's hot and the FB random went on to ask for a wechat id and when I showed the straight guy, he was like, but he still responded!! As if I had a chance with a random probably bot on FB, but I appreciated him being supportive and not being weird about it like some straight guys would be. </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;">It's just an ongoing juggle of having an on and off crush on this guy. He's nothing but a <span style="font-size: large;"><i><u>loveable loser</u></i>. </span><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I guess at-least in this case I know it's not going to happen.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"> I just wish I could stop having a crush on someone that's never going to like me back, it's so annoying and irritating. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;">What's so annoying though, I asked him if he ever wanted to hang out and he said he is a private person, but still wants to be friends. Like why would you go out of your way to be friends with someone, to never hang out? That's like a glorified pen pal I feel like I wasted all my time for nothing.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;">The funny thing is, he commented on my Instagram about hiking (He said "Really cool"), so I thought he wanted to go hiking with me and that's where I got the idea from in the first place.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;">It's annoying because I...</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">• Went out of my way to get into Dua Lipa so we would have something to talk about.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">• Started posting Instagram stories so he'd notice me.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">• Going out of my way to text him, even though he had a 50% chance of leaving me on read. In person, he always seems to want to talk to me, so I thought it was mutual.<br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br />
Weird thing is though, there isn't a day that goes by that I don't think about the ginger guy from my last job. Like it's so weird, I think about him every day, and I have no idea why...even after two years of not seeing him in person, I still think about him. Is it limerence? Is it the universe trying to tell me something? Is it Becky with the bad hair playing a trick on me? Who knows! </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">At this moment in time, I simultaneously have a crush on a straight guy I'm starting to become friends with, and a guy who doesn't even know I exist! Could my life get any more annoying? Actually, don't answer that.. <br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><b>
</b></span></div>
</div><p>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><br />
Then I started to realize, I had a crush on my neighbor of 10 years. Guess what his name is, if you guessed Ace, and guess what the hell he does, he's a cop.. well...</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><u><b><span>The Verdict...</span></b></u></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br />
So apparently, I unintentionally have a thing for guys named Ace, that are CJ majors, and this is coincidental, since I am not actively seeking these guys out to crush on. Nor do I usually know their sexuality, names, career affiliations first either.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br />
Then there are two LGBT youtubers, and a straight one named Ace, who I also think are really attractive, and that's when I realized I really do seem to have a thing for guys named Ace...<br />
The job with Davey, there's a guy named Ace as well, and he's drop dead gorgeous. He's a part of the drug & Alcohol testing department, which can be considered CJ related! (If he told me to bend over, bitch I would, but I also think he has small D*ck energy...But whatever)<br /></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8GgeoUx8S5faNROwah6ZAodcYgrxkDdb0-YiIK_dW8q5pA4AakGksUANx31tm-uc-bPS84ZbIEXdANRAYsuF_wQI8E9fEXcvgkeNbz5addgi7ZYNO2w4OM2NjhSuKd5MyhkxVsJ4uDtg/s765/Hearts+Rainbow.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="506" data-original-width="765" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8GgeoUx8S5faNROwah6ZAodcYgrxkDdb0-YiIK_dW8q5pA4AakGksUANx31tm-uc-bPS84ZbIEXdANRAYsuF_wQI8E9fEXcvgkeNbz5addgi7ZYNO2w4OM2NjhSuKd5MyhkxVsJ4uDtg/s320/Hearts+Rainbow.png" width="320" /></a></span></div><span style="font-size: medium;"></span><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
</p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br />
<b style="text-align: center;"><b><u><span>Pardon my french, but what the absolute hell.. is going on?! </span></u></b></b><br />
<br />
S<span>o guys I know/knew of in person named Ace, are CJ majors, and I tend to crush on them. <br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><u>Funny Story:</u></b></span> Something funny happened before the second Ace left the job.<br />
I went to the bathroom at work, and there was someone in the stall already, and so I went to the next one. This guy, was in there longer than me (I could tell he was on his phone when I walked by, because I saw a light between the space in the stall.)<br />
It always takes me 10-13 minutes in a public bathroom because I'm a germaphobe (Don't want to touch anything), and bathrooms relax me...<br />
<br />
Well, I got this sudden urge to say "HEY DADDY, WHAT YOU DOING?"<br />
</span></span><br />
</p><div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u><span style="font-size: large;">I DID NOT DO THIS!!!!</span></u></b></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i><span style="font-size: large;">But I wanted to..</span></i></b>...</div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: medium;">So a few minutes later I go to the break room, which is right next to the bathroom, and guess who walks in, the guy I like. Guess what he was wearing, all blue (On valentines day, gurl, someone ain't festive??)<br />
Guess what color outfit the person in the stall was wearing? Blue...<br />
So there's a chance, that I wanted to say "<b><i>Hey daddy</i></b>", conveniently, to the guy I liked, without knowing it was even him! lol<br />
<br />
Sadly enough, and ironically enough. He got a new job two weeks later, which is really strange because I remember thinking that I had a time limit to talk to him, like deep down the universe was telling me he would be getting a new job at some point.</span><br />
<br />
<i><b><span style="font-size: large;">Synopsis: </span></b></i><br />
<div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: medium;">• The universe is playing me dirty, and has me continuously crush on guys named Ace, who are all CJ majors.<br />
• Between each guy named Ace, I end up having a smaller, usually short lived/ Or not as strong of a crush on a guy not named Ace.<br />
• The two guys between the Ace's, did not have the same name. However, they both used preferred nicknames that end with "Y" that was a close variant of their actual name. Scott, was called "Scotty", and Dave was called "Davey".etc (Their real names do actually end with a Y too and I used these fake names because of it.). They also had/have a great sense of fashion </span><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;">and wear earrings,</span> which was another thing that made me think they were gay at first, and or made me attracted to them.<br />• Three out of 4 of these crushes were on guys 2 years younger, or older than me. <br />
</span><br />
<b><u><span style="font-size: large;">Yearly Review:</span></u></b><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: medium;">2015: Ace, 2 years younger than me, CJ major.<br />
2016: Jaime, allegedly had a crush on me.<br />
2017: Scotty, was who I liked.<br />
2018: Second Ace, who was approximately also two years younger than me, and a CJ major.<br />
2019: Davey, who happens to be two years older than me. lol</span><br />

PT 3 <p><span style="font-size: medium;">So flash-forward to <b>2018</b>, I finally got out of retail, and got a
job in an office late May. The first three months I would just daydream
about Scotty. </span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">But then..</span></b></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: large;"> it happened again.. (Dramatic Music!)<br /></span></b></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"> (This is where it's going
to start to get a little bit weird!)</span><br /></p><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">This new job I obtained had a little summer bash outside, and I noticed these two cute
guys walking around. A blonde guy, and a red head. I've never been into
gingers before, so this was a new one. But he wasn't your average
ginger, because it's actually hard to tell that he's a ginger, except in
certain lighting, it's more of an Auburn. </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i><b><span style="font-size: medium;">When I showed a picture of this guy to my friend Victor (Who's weaknesses are Asian and Redhead men.) he was like, this guy's a ginger?! He doesn't look like it! <br /></span></b></i></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><i><b></b></i></span><br /></div><span style="font-size: medium;">
Anyways, so my inner Japanese Highschool Girl came out, and I could not
stop obsessing over how cute they were. I was like, are they gay? Are
they boyfriends? Are they gay boyfriends??? (At this point, I may or may not have
started to ship them inside of my mind....) I could not stop watching
them. I kept spying on them to see if they were going to kiss, or
something!!</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I get so obsessed over these things, and that's my inner
Japanese highschool girl that comes out! (The shy quiet girl in the corner watching the boy she likes? Literally me..)<br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br />
I was looking for any sign that they could be gay, the one guy, I could
tell off the bat was gay (I later found his facebook, and he is in fact
gay and a close friend of this jerk I used to work with [ Click here for <a href="http://hotspotsportal.blogspot.com/2021/01/The-Rumor-Story.html">The Rumor Story</a>]) The red head however, a
little tricky, I noticed he had a pink phone, and was good at jump rope
tricks. </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">My old manager at retail is a cheer mom, and she said that jump
rope can be a gay sport at times, obviously everyone is different, so
this isn't always the case.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br />
I still couldn't figure it out, but I had since become mesmerized by this red head, and wanted to know more about him!</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><u><b>Disclaimer:</b></u> My sister pointed out to me that it was weird I was fan-girling over these two and taking pictures of them on Snapchat. Looking back at it, I can understand how that was kinda weird, but it came from a place of innocence! <br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"></div><div style="text-align: left;"></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdncSAA5twQEeSRyaUYNbrIRGPuvhvYO48lsU-jVGQTGw3hxR3upy3Nx4B0MIvD-1uYIlB2vYzSfoofFyAiVnIOFT6DVvEVQuHHu2bWlCY5LRWA8nY1njGkE3nJtm73aYIW9G3NG13RrQ/s345/Heart+Orange.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="304" data-original-width="345" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdncSAA5twQEeSRyaUYNbrIRGPuvhvYO48lsU-jVGQTGw3hxR3upy3Nx4B0MIvD-1uYIlB2vYzSfoofFyAiVnIOFT6DVvEVQuHHu2bWlCY5LRWA8nY1njGkE3nJtm73aYIW9G3NG13RrQ/s320/Heart+Orange.png" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">Trying to figure out if this guy is gay/bi, etc, is a little bit harder,
as I worked on the complete opposite side of the company than this
dude. I've probably seen him a total of 10-ish times in 6 months. I have
never talked to this guy before, I did however add him on linkedin, so
that was nice. I figure if I add people on linkedin, they'll want to
talk to me! <b>Maybe....<i>maybe not..</i></b><i>.</i><br /><br />
So my problem was, I never got a chance to talk to him. Also due to me
being shy, and socially awkward, I couldn't just go up to him and ask if
he was gay/bi. My friends said that's what they would do, but they
don't have social anxiety like me, and I generally never know what to say at any
given time. (I tend to confuse people, because I never know what to
say! I also did this to customers in retail as well lol.) </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">The way I can talk to this guy, is when I have an "opening", that
works for me, where I can be comfortable with myself. (I was telling
Stacy about this once.)<br />
<br />
An example of me being comfortable, we had a Holiday party months later.
Everyone that worked there was present. They were having a raffle that
everyone was automatically entered in, and I happened to win a 25$ gift
card (When they announced my name, everyone acted confused because they didn't know who I was, like gee thanks for making me feel like a ghost lol.) When I went to receive the gift card from the lady, I gave a
bow. Everyone thought it was cute, and after I did that, I noticed a
certain ginger looking a little more my way too. I was also wearing the
gayest freaking Christmas tree sweater too! Just call me the Christmas
Queer from now on!<br />
<br />
<br />
At the Holiday party, I did get the gay vibe from him, and I happened to
notice his voice was higher, (As mentioned before, I've noticed that
95% of gay/bi guys have higher pitched voices) and he was also still
hanging out with the gay guy too. But who knows!<br />
<br />
</span><div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><i>When there was a Halloween meeting, I noticed he dressed up as a
cowboy, and my mind went straight to the gutter...(I see something I wanna ride. Save a horse, rid a
cowboy.) But then, I also knew where his desk was!</i></span></div><span style="font-size: medium;">
<br />
I noticed, he's around girls all the time, which either means he's got a
lot of F@g hags, or that he's a ladies man. His facebook pictures
scream gay, and everyone I've showed said the same things, however his
"professional" pictures scream straight. This leads me to believe he's
trying to pull off an "act", somewhat, maybe to potential employers, to
show he's not gay? Since he could face job discrimination perhaps for being lgbt (Either
that, or he's bisexual, which would explain the, he looks gay sometimes.
lol)</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;">
<span style="font-size: large;">"It's a shame because I did have on opportunity to talk to him, but I had
a terrible stomach ache that week..." <br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I was going on break, and noticed he
was in front of me, he had these cute red pants on. I was thinking,
those are some really nice pants, and red is my favorite color. If I
wasn't feeling miserable, I would have said that I love those pants, and ask
where he got them from. Then maybe say something like, oh I'm gay, I get
excited by cute clothes, something like that, because then he knows, ya
know?<br />
<br />
See, this is the makings of a stalker, but I've realized how crazy I was getting about this, and had since backed off.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVOpTPXYDPVIPgHMCAWuW0rWLhvYW8bHyyaBPv5veLT604XjVW6tYGMrqW4OvAxcdHl0LDeLxCAtWsiGS8bNcVgppmIauwJ13Bnlv-qDRxPvpiJZR6FTV9a6Ui3KWZyyDZfrtjFgroIc0/s765/Hearts+Rainbow.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="506" data-original-width="765" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVOpTPXYDPVIPgHMCAWuW0rWLhvYW8bHyyaBPv5veLT604XjVW6tYGMrqW4OvAxcdHl0LDeLxCAtWsiGS8bNcVgppmIauwJ13Bnlv-qDRxPvpiJZR6FTV9a6Ui3KWZyyDZfrtjFgroIc0/s320/Hearts+Rainbow.png" width="320" /></a></span></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /> </span></div><span style="font-size: medium;">

<span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-size: medium;">
</span><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">
Just like Ariana Grande's song, Daydreamin', I could not get this guy
out of my head. It was the same as Ace, except, I never talked to this
guy before.</span></div><span style="font-size: medium;">
</span><div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><br />
Okay, so now here comes the weird part. This red head, is also named
Ace, and his Linkedin said his college graduation date was 2015. Which
means he's ALSO two years younger than me, and the first Ace was a
Criminal Justice major, and guess what? This guy's a criminal justice
major too!<br /></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><br />
Unfortunately, the cute ginger got a new job. I only found this out by
accident when I saw his name turned into an email in this chat system
the company has. I was like, well that's weird. I checked on LinkedIn to
see if he left, and he did! I messaged him saying congratulations!
Which he responded saying thank you, which is the only time I've ever
talked to him. lol.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><i><b>For him, it's just a random guy saying congrats, but

</div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br />
I too ended up getting a new job a few months later, and then started crushing on another guy</span><span style="font-size: medium;">, but still think about this ginger one rather frequently.</span><br /></div>Colorful Dreams - Art By Kaihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08801016857217600157noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8791734122704459619.post-26946554849786232972021-02-11T12:35:00.001-08:002021-02-16T13:05:00.151-08:00 I'm the physical embodiment of a Japanese highschool girl!

I had a guy like me back. Or so, I thought... His name is Jaime, I ended up becoming friends with him, but when I first met him, he was quite the oddity. In <b>2016</b>,
he started acting super weird once he knew I was gay. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">He would try to hug me, he'd ask me if I was going to "<b><i>fuck him in the ass</i></b>", when I told him I think guys who cry are hot, he started fake crying, another time he just kept saying "<b><i>Fuck me</i></b>",
in a cutesy voice towards me. There are other things, for more about Jaime, check <a href="https://hotspotsportal.blogspot.com/2021/01/my-friend-jaime-is-strange-creature.html">"This"</a> out. Jaime was weird, but this was a whole new
level of weird. Jaime is the guy who's going to tell you that he's "<b><i>at work</i></b>", but in reality, he's in the show <b>24</b>,
trying to find Jack Bauer's daughter. That's just Jaime for you. So
seeing this weird, "flirtatious" side of him, was very strange. A year
later, he just stopped "flirting" with me, and just became a jerk. I
didn't like him back, so I think he gave up, or he's just weird...
Honestly, Jaime is one of the 8 mysteries of the world if you ask me!<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: medium;">Stay with me folks, because this is going to get Very Very strange!!!</span></div><span style="font-size: medium;">
<br />
So now, let's go to <b>2017</b>. We have this new cute guy at work named
" Scotty", I was shocked to find out that he was 19, talk about robbing
the cradle, I was 8 years older than him!<br />
I knew it wasn't going to happen with Scotty, but I still let myself
crush on him. It was weird because, I felt as if I needed someone to
crush on. Like if I didn't crush on someone, I'd end up temporarily
attracting myself to gross people like Jaime! </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br />
Scotty was always </span><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;">(metaphorically)</span> doing project runway poses, so I
thought he was gay. He also had a deep voice, so I thought, maybe he
isn't gay? Gay/bi guys usually have higher pitched voices.<br />
<br /></span></div><span style="font-size: medium;">
</span><div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><strike>(Question is, can guys with deep voices, deep throat. I swear, why do I even talk sometimes...)</strike></span></div>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><strike><br /></strike></span></div><span style="font-size: medium;">
</span><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">
Scotty, was the complete opposite of Ace. He was quiet, to himself,
never really talked to anyone. His only redeeming quality, was that he
was cute, and not an asshole.. like some people (Looks at Jaime
telepathically.)</span></div><span style="font-size: medium;">
</span><div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><strike><br /></strike></span></div><span style="font-size: medium;">
</span><div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-size: medium;"><i>My friends helped me find out if Scotty was gay, in a very hilarious
set of events which made it look like my friend Stacy (Who's 50), was
asking if Scotty was gay as if she was interested in him! It was a
rather funny situation I could see happening on a sitcom.</i></span></b></div>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><br />
My friend Stephanie ended up asking what he was getting his girlfriend
for Christmas, which he said he was single for the last 5 months. (As of
2019, he's got a new girlfriend.)</span></div><span style="font-size: medium;">
</span><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">
Jaime also found out he was not gay for me as well... Jaime's idea was
that, I could have Scotty, but Jaime has to hold him down for me. Jaime
has a dark sense of humor, and I was not having none of it.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Always
remember everyone, consent, consent consent!!! Jaime has a weird
fascination with r@pe, maybe we should be concerned, quite frankly. R@pe
is not funny Jaime! The only thing that is funny, is your ugly outfit!
:P</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></div><span style="font-size: medium;">
</span><div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-size: medium;">
</span><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">
Ironically enough, Scotty kinda reminded me of my brother. Both of them
have no personality, have no enthusiasm, and they both have
that Justin Bieber bowl cut hair. So it's for the best that I got over
Scotty... Because, weird!</span></div>Colorful Dreams - Art By Kaihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08801016857217600157noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8791734122704459619.post-70501081327774743652021-02-04T13:34:00.004-08:002022-10-20T19:08:17.655-07:00Why I'm the physical embodiment of a Japanese highschool girl! PT 1<p><span style="font-size: medium;"> I feel like I am the embodiment of a Japanese highschool girl from an anime and I want to explain why!<br /></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><b>I'm the shy quiet one, who just keeps crushing on cute guys, but due to
my shy and introverted nature, I never talk to any of them! This is also common with Highschool girls in anime. (Hence the reference)<br /></b></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Considering
I'm a dude, my crush will probably end up being straight anyways, and probably won't go anywhere. </span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><u><i>(Which is the story of my life, turn that into my autobiography!)</i></u><br /></span></p><p>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><br />
Straight people have it easy, they can walk to the grocery store and
find someone to date. LGBT people have to go over a river, through the
woods, cross the bridge to Terabithia, wind up in Narnia, and then when
you get "somewhere", there's three eligible bachelors, and I won't find
any of them attractive!<br /></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><br />
Even when I tried apps, I didn't like many people and the ones I did like wouldn't like me back. I tried adding everyone I thought might be interesting to become friends with, but when that happened I
quickly realized that was a bad idea since we were looking for different things. <br /></span>
</p><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;">
<u><b>(I had one person tell me that one of their hobbies, was me.. I was like ehhhhh.....)</b></u></span></div><span style="font-size: medium;">
<br />
<br />
However, the last 7 years have been very interesting. I've always had
crushes on guys, but the ones I had before 2015 were different. They
were like, oh that guy is attractive, I wonder if he's into dudes and maybe
he could like me back. But looking back at it now, those "crushes", were
nothing compare to the last 5 years.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><br />
It all started in <b>2015</b>, when I thought I had met "The one". The
only reason I thought he was the one, was because I started to have <span style="color: #ffa400;"><b>wild</b></span> feelings I
never felt before. This includes always having someone on my mind, or
just feeling a rush of energy when seeing this person.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br />
His name was Ace (Name changed for privacy), and he was two years
younger than me. Ever since I realized I was into guys, I quickly saw that I <b>LOVE</b> older men, I love
me my "<i><b>daddies</b></i>" (This sentence is so cringe, but kinda funny so I'm going to leave it).</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">So for me to be attracted to, not only a guy my age,
but a guy younger than me! That was unfathomable! But the craziest thing
was, he was everything I was looking for in a guy. We had the same
interests, the same opinions, he could cook, and fix a tire (That's not something you see every day). He was
literally <b>Mr. Perfect</b>. He was very social, very friendly, maybe a bit
overly friendly. We had so much in common and at the same time we were
so different, and you know what they say, opposites attract! I truly
felt like I had met my soulmate. The weird thing was, I wasn't into him
until he shook my hand... After that, I was engulfed in a very strange,
but great feeling, which may or may not have been limerence. (This isn't
a satirical comment, I legitimately don't know if it was, or wasn't
lol)</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br />
When I was into him, I'd play love songs, such as many songs by <i>the Queen herself</i>, <b>Carly Rae Jepsen</b>.
But I'd also look for "Clues", clues that maybe he was gay, or bi. One
time he kept looking at me, another time he had his arms out, but his
hands were down (Kind of like a stereotypical <strike>gay</strike> zombie vampire, which is something gay guys or zombies do, but not really a straight guy thing to do. Example Below).</span></p><p> </p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7X0bnT6d_4Nh8xuUWyFFp6hL5VMZ-wUfGR-ItSNAsFMsTSCAjzXYkxpLiQC_kbedFsX_gpt-9fhsD0PYy0ev50rJVaSd8UeTwcvc4drpk5ABnQRwX5jztDRFl8BzzFy3p8UnVzSS0cBA/s2635/Hyde.png" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2635" data-original-width="1194" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7X0bnT6d_4Nh8xuUWyFFp6hL5VMZ-wUfGR-ItSNAsFMsTSCAjzXYkxpLiQC_kbedFsX_gpt-9fhsD0PYy0ev50rJVaSd8UeTwcvc4drpk5ABnQRwX5jztDRFl8BzzFy3p8UnVzSS0cBA/s320/Hyde.png" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Is he....

would look for <span style="font-size: large;"><b>anything</b></span> that might say he likes me, or that he likes
guys in general. Granted, these were silly to consider since we're at a
time in the world where everyone can start to be who they are. So now straight
guys are starting to allow themselves to be more feminine, and makes it
harder for guys into dudes, to spot them out. (If they don't have good
gaydar, or if their gaydar is blocked by "please be gaydar", it's not going to be easy to figure out unless you specifically ask the person and even then they may lie about it for whatever reason.)<br />
</span><div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-size: medium;">
</span><div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: medium;"><br />
I hadn't felt this way about anyone before, so I thought I really did
meet "The One", and after I found out he was straight, I was crushed,
and legitimately depressed for 4 days. Which is really weird for someone
I never actually dated, and only saw 1/2 times a week. Like it's almost
as if I had experienced a break up, without ever breaking up with
someone! (I'll get into this "feeling later", as I think I know why this
happens to me)</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">This is going to be a long blog post, so I'm turning this into 4-5 separate parts. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">This is the end of part one, see you next time for part 2! </span><br /></p>Colorful Dreams - Art By Kaihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08801016857217600157noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8791734122704459619.post-81912840163217256392021-01-28T06:00:00.047-08:002022-06-24T23:11:18.294-07:00Why do I always fall for Straight Guys?!<p><span style="font-size: medium;">I have this problem where anytime I like someone, they end up being straight! <br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><b><u>First and foremost</u></b>, don't get me mixed up with those idiots that go after straight men intentionally to try and "Change" them, that's <b>NOT</b> what I'm talking about!</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">(That doesn't work and should be frowned upon!)</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">My issue lies with the reality that any time I find someone attractive (Without knowing their sexuality), they always end up being straight! It's at a point that If I'm <u><b>NOT</b></u> attracted to someone, they're probably gay or bi!</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">(The truth is, because I don't get out much. That the people I'm meeting are in work settings, so the majority of people will be straight. If I go to gay spaces, I have the likelihood of meeting someone I'd actually be attracted to that could reciprocate my feelings. But that problem lies with the fact that I have social anxiety and really bad and afraid of talking to people, which I am working on. lol)</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">In fact, at one of the jobs I've had, there were only 3 other guys at work (Not including myself) and the only one I wasn't attracted to, was the other gay guy!</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">It gets frustrating after a while to always crush on people that will never like you back. Even when I go to gay clubs, the like 1-3 guys I find attractive will start making out with a girl and I'm like really?!</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><u><b>It happens <i>EVERY TIME!!!</i></b></u></span><br /></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">I think the main problem is the fact that not many people are LGBT and with that being said, I'm not generally attracted to as many people as others are. I've noticed this with my straight guy friends from when I was in retail, they would tell me that every girl that works there is hot and I'd only find one guy we worked with to be attractive (Who also always ended up being the really hot guy everyone had a crush on). </span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQZPZCLl_cCCyqUd0rPmDUtDr_xe2orKodTdRsgPyvsZLeNfCiBZYCuXXSnHiSAQ4ajUdrRpki3z480BXbK9ZmDNcW5NIhRck8EcGPS8C3mhfqdCLkKVjdnM4PRHQA9zX93g5gtkefg9U/s427/Heart+Broken.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="296" data-original-width="427" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQZPZCLl_cCCyqUd0rPmDUtDr_xe2orKodTdRsgPyvsZLeNfCiBZYCuXXSnHiSAQ4ajUdrRpki3z480BXbK9ZmDNcW5NIhRck8EcGPS8C3mhfqdCLkKVjdnM4PRHQA9zX93g5gtkefg9U/s320/Heart+Broken.png" width="320" /></a></div><br /> <p></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">What's annoying is, when I have a crush on someone, I crush on them hard. I can't help it, I will tell myself, get over it he's straight, but then the next day I'm all lovey dovey and be like, he's so cute and such a nice person and what if! </span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">(Don't ever what if yourself, if they say they're straight, they're straight, <u>end of story</u>!)</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Another thing that annoys me is in LGBT TV shows and Films, everyone is always gay, even the "Straight guy" in it, turns out to be bisexual or something. This is honestly really bad, because it makes people like me think "I have a chance", when in reality, they don't. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">I'd love to see a show where a gay or bi character has a crush on a straight person and instead of the straight person "<span style="color: #bc63ec;"><b>magically</b></span>" falling in love with them, their arc is about getting over being in love with this person that will never look their way and maybe once they get over that person, they meet someone else! That's way more realistic and I'd totally watch that.<br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">- I don't get the logic behind people intentionally chasing after straight men, like why would I want to be attracted to someone that won't ever be interested in me? It doesn't make sense why people would go through something like that!</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Although</span></b>, the thing that kills me the most is how someone can mean the world to you, but you're just a flicker in their head, not even an after thought. How if they were actually lgbt, you would give them the world, while some random girl wouldn't even give them the time of day, it hurts like hell to care so much about someone that sees you as just a friend and it's so annoying. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><u><b>On the Contrary</b></u></span><br /></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">The only lgbt folks I seem to find attractive are random people on Instagram that are in other states or countries and I'm like, well that doesn't help me now does it!!! (lol)<br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>Apps</b> have never gone well for me either, I'm either too afraid to talk to anyone, or I'm simply not really into anyone on the app. I've tried to make friends with people, but they just think that I'm interested in<br /> them when I'm not and so it never goes well.</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNJZb8SipdsAwy2w_tkt3kP5tdKjHGEmOscr0ZWhDciCm_05nRQN4kapXGaFCkKkIddKdltlwriUodYYhjCx7qy_BU5JAlGbJsBrDUi4q2S7fDx7jTB0RnFns9nIBlXQ2n6GQrNLAvWhs/s765/Hearts+Rainbow.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="506" data-original-width="765" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNJZb8SipdsAwy2w_tkt3kP5tdKjHGEmOscr0ZWhDciCm_05nRQN4kapXGaFCkKkIddKdltlwriUodYYhjCx7qy_BU5JAlGbJsBrDUi4q2S7fDx7jTB0RnFns9nIBlXQ2n6GQrNLAvWhs/s320/Hearts+Rainbow.png" width="320" /></a></div><p></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">I feel like I need a physical connection. Which is ironic considering I have social anxiety and that doesn't help since I just don't know how to talk to people! I rarely go out and I don't know how to make friends with random strangers, let alone try to find a boyfriend!</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">The only friends I've ever made were at places of work, especially retail. Since most of my friends still work retail, their schedules are random and usually they don't have the time to hang out with me, so it's not like I can just go with a friend to a gay bar if they're usually busy. (Also, I live an hour away from a gay bar so it would have to be an all day trip)</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><u><b>There's not really a point to tell your crush you like them if they're straight, so it's a battle I have to fight alone..</b></u><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">I just feel like I'll always be alone, I mean at least I wouldn't have to worry about relationship drama!</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><u><b>In Conclusion...</b></u></span><br /></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Straight people are so lucky, they could walk out their front door and find someone to date. LGBT people have to go through the woods to Grandma's house, cross the Bridge of Terabitha, follow the yellow brick road and when we get there, there's just nobody we're interested in. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><u><b>Yes, I know! </b></u></span><br /></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Yes, I know Straight people can have unrequited love, but it hits different when you're LGBT. Like it wouldn't hurt as much if I simply had a crush on a guy who just wasn't attracted to me.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Yes, Straight people can fall for a gay person, but they have a much bigger selection, so it's easier for them to move on. Straight people have an ocean of eligible people to date, gay people have a tiny little puddle.</span><br /></p>Colorful Dreams - Art By Kaihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08801016857217600157noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8791734122704459619.post-89858919886449175502021-01-21T13:22:00.002-08:002022-07-02T16:35:37.515-07:00My friend Jaime is a strange creature <p><span style="font-size: medium;">When I worked retail, we had a peculiar fellow named Jaime. He was a strange person who would say weird things like "Feed me hangers!", or "Well, I'm here, but in reality, I'm
in Narnia trying to find Jack Bauers daughter!".<br /></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br />
He's really weird and he says weird things to be funny, but back in 2016, he started to say some things that made me believe he was into
me. (To this day I wonder...) I'm not into him, and he really needs to take a shower! No seriously, customers would complain that he smells bad. (This wasn't an issue once he stopped working there and I think it's because at the time, he had two retail jobs.)</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><u><b>Once he knew I was gay, that's when he started to get <span style="color: #e18efd;">weirder</span> than <span style="color: #ff00fe;">weird</span>!</b></u></span><br /></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br />One time, he rang up a guy who I thought was cute.
I told him I was sooo jealous he got to ring up the hot
guy, in which his reply was "I didn't think he was that hot!".</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">But at
the same time, this could have just been him being a weirdo.<br /></span>
</p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">
His first weird comment towards me was when I was going home, and I was saying bye to him.. he said "Are you here to put your dick in my ass?", I told him, I have standards!<br /></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: medium;"> </span><span style="font-size: large;">Jaime: Are you here to put your <u>dick in my ass</u>?</span></b><br />

<span style="font-size: medium;">Then maybe a week later, we were starting work at the same time, and he
looks at me in the break room and goes "<b><i>So, do you want to make love</i></b>?". I
said no, I'm good.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br />
The next week he said the same thing, but instead said "<b>So, you wanna have sex</b>?". <br />
In which I declined.. and at first I just thought he was playing around
and being weird... but since it was becoming more repetitive, it really made me start to wonder...<br /></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><br />
Another time, he was walking around near my department (Because our departments are next to each other. I was Home, he was Mens.)<br />
He's just saying "<b>Fuck me</b>", in like an innocent, cutesy voice..in which I
said, "<b>You know, I'm really starting to wonder about you.</b>." and he said
"<b>Me too</b>".</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Jaime:</b> Fuck me.<br /><b>Me</b>: You know I'm really starting to wonder about you!<br /><b>Jaime</b>: Me too...</span><br /></p><p style="text-align: left;"> <span style="font-size: medium;"><br />
Another time, the tv was on in the break room and Joe Manginello was
on, and they said something about a boyfriend on tv. Jaime said he
wishes he had a boyfriend, I said he doesn't have a chance with either
gender (I'm just that bitch) He said "I just don't have the time!" (He does
work two jobs and gets 3 hours of sleep so.. But the way he said it was
very serious.)</span><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">
The following week, I had to get a price on a Mens item, which was his
department. When I was walking to the Mens dept. I saw him, and I was like, oh
great! He'll know what the price is, so as I'm walking towards him, he
has his arms out as if he was coming to hug me. When I came closer to
him, I pushed the Mens jacket into him and said, I need a price for this. In which he said "Aww", in a disappointed way, as if I
really was going to hug him??</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br />Later that day, I was talking to him and I made a comment, in which his response was </span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>"It's okay James, I still love you!". I was like<i> okayyyyyy</i>...</b></span></p><p></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br />
Some time after, I was leaving and I was talking to him and I called him
"irrelevant" , in which he responded by saying that I really
know how to hurt someone's feelings, and that I must have gotten an
<b>orgasm</b> for "<i><b>hurting</b></i>" his feelings.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br />
I said, that I am a sadist, and that I love it when men cry. In which he proceeded to fake cry right in front of me!!<br /><br />
I was like what is up with this boy?! I was telling some of the
girls about his antics and now we're all getting a bit curious what the hell is he, like what's his sexuality?!</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKEvn27-pgXikvEhgLS4bwDzL5om8WxHUMTWKD2JMwDRNTOnIdSRNdpPP8in-taY_Pf81KLO_uxNWdY7OjFF-7Gam_PCOalxF9qv3JbC5hUH6Rbodhkqrajop6BdhHqU-Unj6o-VHp0IE/s973/Jar+of+Hearts.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="784" data-original-width="973" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKEvn27-pgXikvEhgLS4bwDzL5om8WxHUMTWKD2JMwDRNTOnIdSRNdpPP8in-taY_Pf81KLO_uxNWdY7OjFF-7Gam_PCOalxF9qv3JbC5hUH6Rbodhkqrajop6BdhHqU-Unj6o-VHp0IE/s320/Jar+of+Hearts.png" width="320" /></a></div><br />

<span style="color: #4c8af6;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br />
<u><b><span style="font-size: large;">One time, I had the hiccups...</span></b></u></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br />
I was all the way in the back of the store, in the receiving area, I
saw him walking in and I told him I had the hiccups. I didn't want
to freak him out with a weird noise, he told me I sounded like a dog.<br />
Later that day, I was talking to him, and he tried to scare the hiccups
out of me, which didn't work. But he then told me that I sounded cute,
like a "pup".<br /><br />
</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>I was like whatever...<br /></b></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br />
Later on, I was talking to him again and I still had those hiccups
(Ironically, they went away the second I walked out of the building.)<br /><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>So, I was still hiccuping, and he said "You sound so cute, you're cute!!"<br />
I was just like... oh boy...</b></span><br /></span></p><p>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: #04ff00;">•</span></span> One time, I showed him a giant mickey mouse doll, and he started to hump
it. I told him not to do that if there were any customers around!<br /></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: #04ff00;">•</span> </span>The girls had been telling me that lately, he's been saying he wants a boyfriend or a girlfriend.<br />
But when my one friend Lena, asked him what he was.. he said he was
asexual.. which is weird since he is clearly a being who is aroused by
one or more genders (or at-least pretending to be one).<br /></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><br />
<span style="color: #ffa400;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>☼</b></span> </span>The biggest kicker was when my friend Stephanie and I saw Donna last
week... Donna did an spiritual awakening on us.. and she said that I either like
someone, or someone likes me.. and I looked at Stephanie, and I was
like.. I wonder who!!! How weird is that! I hadn't talked to Donna about Jaime and I didn't like anyone at the time, so there isn't a way she would have known.<br /></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;">

About me?!<p><span style="font-size: medium;">Okay children, gather round. I am about to tell you the story of when I worked in Retail and someone started a rumor about me!<br /></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><b>This happened in 2014. </b></span>There was this one guy that started working at the store 5 months after my arrival. He was cool at first, I didn't have much in common with him, so we didn't really talk at all, but I never had a problem with him prior to this event. The closest sort of relationship I had with him, was him calling me "<b>Prom Date</b>", which was a running joke he started between us. (I don't remember what caused this)<br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Let's call him Lint, because that's just so humiliating.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">It was weird to hear that he decided to start a rumor about me, even though I didn't even talk to him! </span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: medium;">Apparently he decided to tell the Store manager that I was goofing off the whole day to talk to my friend Rebecca that worked in a department on the opposite end of the store. </span></b></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">I told my friend Rebecca about this rumor and she was like "What?! I haven't seen you all day!".</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><b><i><span style="font-size: large;">At first I was skeptical, maybe it was someone else he was talking about?</span></i></b></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><b><i><span style="font-size: large;"></span></i></b></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><b><i><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJGwg45JStxwDJlqPJcF53p0fQTuLo79SJD4hndVPvHrDOW2JVmf0DlJ7cdDUczYnDLmVLTVEHGTAfdKO9EFPjYY4DdI_rSC00ICvov6Rp065SshzxoIaJIgvZCwhHhl5jWDNa_PK70V8/s282/Gossip.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="282" data-original-width="282" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJGwg45JStxwDJlqPJcF53p0fQTuLo79SJD4hndVPvHrDOW2JVmf0DlJ7cdDUczYnDLmVLTVEHGTAfdKO9EFPjYY4DdI_rSC00ICvov6Rp065SshzxoIaJIgvZCwhHhl5jWDNa_PK70V8/s0/Gossip.png" /></a></span></i></b></span></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><b><i><span style="font-size: large;"><br /> </span></i></b></span><p></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br />
The next day I told the store manager about this, and she said I had nothing to worry about, because this guy has done this plenty of times before and he is on thin ice! She made a comment saying, why is my Cashier watching what other people are doing? Which also made it sound like she actually believed what he was saying about me. <br /><br /> I told the manager, that if I did goof off, I wouldn't have a problem saying that I did. I was telling her there was another time where I was talking to another friend in another department for a while. I usually do work and only chat for a minute or so, but there have been very few times where I was talking to someone for a long period of time. But, I had not done that recently. The point is, If I had done that, I would have no problem saying I did what the guy said.. but I didn't.<br /> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /> The next day, Rebecca had talked to the guy... they're friends and definitely more friends than I was with the guy.<br /> He told her that he did not start that rumor, and that even if he did, he wouldn't care if I found out.<br /> The day afterwards, I was talking to my friend and she was talking about this crazy guy she knows and Lint comes into the room, and starts talking to her.. I kind of felt like he stole the spotlight from me. It sounds weird but it's almost like he didn't want me to talk to her.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /> While he was talking to her, he had mentioned that he lies all of the time and that it is not very hard. It's funny because the next day she was talking about that, and I told her that I noticed when he said that too.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /> The next day, my friend finds out something interesting. For starters, Lint doesn't really like me.. no idea why.. "obviously I am too sexy for him to handle!", my friend was like "How can he not like you, you're awesome!!". So, that could be why he had no problem starting a rumor about me. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Although, it could be that he didn't like me because I told one of the girls he should get neutered, after he was drooling over one of the new girls. He would be cute with me and guys don't get cute with me because they're always straight, so I liked the attention he was giving me and got a little jealous. (This guy was straight? Also, We'll get into that. But for Clarification, I didn't like this guy in any way, I just liked the attention lol.)<br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /> This dude is a horn dog! This guy has pretty much hounded every female associate that is between the ages of 18-25, he just wants to have sex with them all!</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>But you see</b></span>, most of the girls do not like him like that, so when he gets rejected by them, he makes their lives at work miserable!</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1SRlaT2qF9ufmQnA2qYquGQMhDzfoR7kePe4YPTipLn-2XygCAKMZayEWE9JGrXLRDOyKVdYPCqjVCc1rAIaK49p7hh1tJZh1xFQD8Cc2cS-fgSJX9vRvCWUvaLF0cXNWKorBoDcJSXA/s345/Upside+Down.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="304" data-original-width="345" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1SRlaT2qF9ufmQnA2qYquGQMhDzfoR7kePe4YPTipLn-2XygCAKMZayEWE9JGrXLRDOyKVdYPCqjVCc1rAIaK49p7hh1tJZh1xFQD8Cc2cS-fgSJX9vRvCWUvaLF0cXNWKorBoDcJSXA/s320/Upside+Down.png" width="320" /></a></span></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /> </span><p></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"> <span style="font-size: large;"><u><b>The plot thickens!</b></u></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">The next day or so on a Friday, I was talking to Rebecca and I told her that months ago, I remember Lint said that she was his perfect girl. At the time, Rebecca was only attracted to asian guys, and this dude is a white boy. Oddly enough, people do sometimes think he's asian, but let's not get too off track.</span><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"> <span style="font-size: medium;">Rebecca then tells me that he was telling her about the last time he had sex, he said to her, I would prefer this blog to be PG 13, but basically said that he likes to "go on a girls face" and told her "Just so you know, if we ever have sex", in a way to warn her if they did sleep together.</span><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /> <span style="font-size: large;"><b>This was something that stuck in her mind</b></span></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><i><b><u><span style="font-size: large;">Reasons why this was weird</span></u></b></i><br /><br />1. At the time, she had a boyfriend<br />2. She was only into Asian dudes at the time.<br />3. She only likes him as a friend.<br />4. This sexual harassment is just unwanted and undeeded. <br /></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>With that being said, why would he say any of these weird sexual things to her??</b> <br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"> So now, we're both thinking that Lint is jealous of me and Rebecca's friendship. He probably doesn't like that we talk all of the time, and really just wants bone her. He may also dislike me for the fact that I am a decent human being and I actually work and I don't lie about things... but who knows. </span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><b><i><span style="font-size: large;">You know what they say. "You're not doing it right until you get a hater!"</span></i></b><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"> <br /> But, after finding all of this out. I've realized that he is just a lying creeper and the scuzzball.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><u><b>Update from 2021:</b></u> This dude got fired in 2015 for giving customers blank store credit cards, while taking the store credit card that had money on it and using it to buy stuff for himself. </span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: large;">Like the dude got fired for <u>stealing</u>!</span></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: large;"></span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0xU7lNv7O1ojgr1bL6Ud6eInDbfFQuoN4LUsglsgBflWGOFguyIFzQEtPoT5SsEYz6FtNwguyihCW1-24qPzSinv3hyphenhyphenraxhyphenhyphenJ3vsE91AwfnL573LB8oHMc_147-Llhbgsqse4MuBLKYs/s500/Moneybags.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="500" data-original-width="420" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0xU7lNv7O1ojgr1bL6Ud6eInDbfFQuoN4LUsglsgBflWGOFguyIFzQEtPoT5SsEYz6FtNwguyihCW1-24qPzSinv3hyphenhyphenraxhyphenhyphenJ3vsE91AwfnL573LB8oHMc_147-Llhbgsqse4MuBLKYs/s320/Moneybags.png" /></a></span></span></div><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /> </span><br /></span><p></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br />• Maybe this is why one time, we had this lady yelling at us, saying we were robbing her because there was no money on her store credit card. We explained to her, that she needed to call the number on the card to see what happened to the money on it and then she could proceed with whatever action she needed to take. <br /> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Oh, but that's not all! <i><u>It gets worse! </u></i></b></span><u><span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span></u></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">One of the guys I became friends with was his childhood friend. They are no longer friends, but I am still friends with his Childhood friend.<br /><br />• First off, he told me that this dude thought I had a thing for him. He thought that me adjusting my vest was me "flirting" with him. What?! I wouldn't date him even if he was the last man on earth!</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">• He always had bisexual tendencies, so it makes me wonder if he actually had a thing for me too, could be why he was so jealous of my friendship with Rebecca. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">• He has a connection to two guys I've had big crushes on, the first one we worked with. I think the guy distanced himself from Lint because Lint was coming off kind of flirty with him and Lint even made a comment that he didn't get the hype on the guy. He probably got "blown off" (That isn't meant to sound dirty) by the guy and was just made he wasn't being paid any attention lol. <br /><br />The second one was, he's friends with a guy, that works at my last job, who was friends with the guy I liked there as well. <br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><u><b>Here's where it gets serious...</b></u></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">My friend told me that this dude, as a 20 something year old, slept with a 15 year old girl!! The parents didn't press charges because it was consent... like this dude is literally a pedo, it's disgusting. <br /></span></p><p><br /><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>Keywords: </b>Retail
