i have no reason to mistrust self-described hikers but you can literally walk from downtown to the top of a mountain in a day here so

A whole group of people I wouldn't mind taking me into their friend-fold apparently collectively looked at my scruff profile tonight. Public joy.

Nobody's done anything worth hearing in over 20 years. (upon arriving in NYC on the Controversy tour, Prince went to the bus terminal men's room for recreational fun.)
goddaaamn, Eric.

"this guy who says he likes to take walks in the woods sure sounds like an asshole"
i mean what
― gwyneth anger (patron sailor), Saturday, 2 May 2015 15:00 (nine years ago) link
I haven't contributed to this discussion at all yet, but I don't judge anyone for liking kayaking or whatever--its just that my reaction when reading about the invite extended to sum by his boss was "ok, this has nothing to do with my life."
Not saying the trip wouldn't be pleasant (although I personally hate the sun), nor that I have anything against going shirtless around co-workers/other, richer, and, I'm assuming fitter, gay men (just let me get back into a gym routine first, please), but as clouds suggested, this is so far from resembling how my current economic status allows me to live that it is practically alien to me.

yeah, it's outside of my experiences too, which is why -- to me -- it sounds like a fine opportunity to try something new. as long as someone else is footing the bill, i mean.
idk maybe declaring your outdoor activities has a different quality when you live in an large urban center but i can assure you that less affluent people can kayak, too
― gwyneth anger (patron sailor), Saturday, 2 May 2015 15:15 (nine years ago) link
Oh, absolutely take the opportunity if it sounds in any way appealing to you, and especially if someone else is footing the bill.

wow i didn't know my boss would create controversy. i don't like kayaking or most outdoor sports, but not because they are for the rich, just because i don't like them. i love tennis though.
and for the record, he is an awesome guy. even though i can barely afford to do my laundry, the fact that he has [a lot of] money doesn't detract from that.
― surm, Saturday, 2 May 2015 15:51 (nine years ago) link
ok fine i like rich guys. THERE. i said it. I LIKE RICH MEN. as long as they're not assholes.

Ry wants to bring pot caramels. I'm like you do what you need to do but I am NOT going to be stoned around my VP. i'll just get awkward as fuck and most likely never live it down.

obviously dosage matters but i find that edibles take the edge off my anxiety in unfamiliar situations much better than smoking, which can sometimes make me paranoid or self conscious. feed me an adult confection, though, and i'm all good

*movies
no, it's why i don't listen to the music 12-year-old girls like.
My co-workers and I, like, don't even say "bye" when we leave the office.

there's nothing inherently wrong w/ outdoor shit, i mean i bike every fucking day! it's my main mode of transportation! it's just that i see the same "kayaking, hiking, volleyball, rugby" bullshit over and over and it's like, read a fucking book once in yr life?

i went to a may day rally today. it felt good to be around some lefty energy. i'm such a softie with the chants, i start to choke up, especially with the police / baltimore ones. the trans liberation movement speaker was totally inspiring.

It's hard to click on profiles that don't just thrust disco tits right out there front and center; many of those profiles are pretty hilariously preoccupied with intramurals, no doubt.

kayaking is kind of how i feel about people who listen to Wilco if that makes any sense
but actually i think you're getting the definition of normcore wrong. kayaking is not really that normal.
― surm, Sunday, 3 May 2015 10:42 (nine years ago) link
i doubt it
― carne asana (clouds), Sunday, 3 May 2015 11:21 (nine years ago) link
at least insofar as fashion is concerned, normcore has nothing to do with waspy guys playing golf. it's about the guy in IT who wears pleated pants.
― surm, Sunday, 3 May 2015 11:31 (nine years ago) link
i don't think he cares about what 'normcore' is beyond it sounding vaguely like an insult
― gwyneth anger (patron sailor), Sunday, 3 May 2015 12:50 (nine years ago) link
i think normative is more the aim of the comment
the thing is, i've always had a thing for lawyers. i'm ok with normal. i'm also ok with completely fucking abnormal. which is why i'm going to my friend's birthday party today who likes me to slap her.

that's the thing, there's no "beef". i'm just tired of the idea that nothing is supposed to be criticized and personal attacks are read into everything that even touches on their interests. it's not personal at all. but millennials aren't supposed to care about shit, right? feel free to reply to this with whatever ilx-bred mannered gnomic/nonchalant repartee you wish.
