Salsa can be calming too, it's not only dancey. I mean i can imagine this song on a hot day, in a bar or a porch.

I came back yesterday from a 8-day band trip to Cuba :v:
I didn't like the heat; made my shirt stick to me. blegh.
One interesting thing that i heard from my band teacher was that the music there is based on percussion, not so much the stuff played by the trumpets or saxes or anything else.
The claves hold everything together, cowbell's pretty important too, and all cuban trumpeteers can scream like crazy.
I also learnt how to salsa a little.
The only afro-cuban song we performed was this (and it was in a different key and stuff).

So, I told you about my friend a while ago who was afraid to "come out" to her parents. Well she did it the other day, but sadly it didnt end well. For those who didnt see my last post, it was about my friend who is a lesbian & her parents are super religious wich is why she was afraid of how they would react when she told them about it.
Her dad more or less just told her to pack her stuff & she was no longer welcome in their home & her mother became furious because "they didnt raise her this way". Me & my brother helped her move her things out today.
It quite literally makes me shake from anger on how people can even do that to their own daughter & considering she is my closest & pretty much only friend it hits extra hard.
She is going to stay at my house until she can find a place of her own, but it really makes me furious how people can be so cruel, if thats a way to put it.

Send her our love.
It completely baffles me how people, even worse parents, can be so closed-minded about gay people. I suppose im lucky with such an accepting family (we're really not religious at all mind you) but i know a few religious people and they don't seem to bothered by it. Sometimes i don't think it comes down to religion, i think it comes down to control and self-loathing.
Her parents must be very narrow people to not accept their own daughter because of a simple preference of hers that is not in her control.
Hearing my boyfriend laugh makes me really happy :)

I think it also stems from lack of understanding and knowledge, there are religious people who are accepting of homosexuality but it's not like that everywhere unfortunately.
Disowning your child because of that though is just what makes my blood boil, I hope she finds a place and does well for herself, you and your brother are stars for helping her.
[QUOTE=~Kiwi~v2;47421058]It isn't just understanding though. Some people are ballsey enough to be so fucking backwards and so caught up in beliefs that it becomes more then just a religious issue. They understand it but they don't want anything to do with it cause it goes against their belief.[/QUOTE]
If you have to make laws to hurt a group of people just to prove your morals and faith, then you have no real faith or morals to prove.
How do you find a boyfriend at 17? I'm pretty much completely gay, and so far everyone I've wanted to date has been straight, and everyone I know who's gay I'm not attracted to. I haven't really tried any dating sites, as I am a little apprehensive at the prospect of dating someone
a lot older than me, but either way what would you guys recommend in general?

The positive side is hopefully your friend will be made stronger from the independance she has had unfairly forced upon her. Additionally, her parents are either one of two things inhumane or just being children and throwing a tantrum. It may seem unlikely but after the initial reaction and time she'll get her parents back (unless they're the first thing). There are stories of religious parents who beat their own children and broke their bones and trapped them in closets who eventually came around and apologised and yeah you'd think you wouldn't forgive them for that but they're still family.
I've not had experience with this directly but I do know someone who has been beaten by his father and gets shouted at regularly and kicked out as well but he won't just ditch his parents because of it. Though there is no real religious slant on that, and when his dad is drunk he's apparently really nice to him, so those moments keep him going.

You have to be out and have low standards or get very lucky. From what I've seen there is a very clear trend of gay guys (maybe straight as well but most of my straight friends haven't exhibited it) to desperately start searching for a relationship around that age. I still haven't been in a proper relationship for more than a couple of weeks (and I don't really count that as a boyfriend).I turned 21 recently. Not that I haven't tried. It's just I don't want to be in a relationship with someone I can't stand to be around for more than a week at a time (I've probably had plenty of opportunities). I've met people who fit the bill but they live far too far away (Sydney, New Zealand, Spain - I live in Australia about 9 hours drive from Sydney).
These people I found all through grindr - despite some people claiming looking for anything else but sex is ignorant - they're my top three best friends now. I had to deal with a lot of dumb stuff through grindr. I recently deleted it, started going to Queer community events in my area (specifically university groups) and for the first time in my entire life I met someone who likes me and who I like without meeting them online first. I don't have to lie about how we met.
Anyway that's my opinion on all these things.
Meanwhile I have a question about the above mentioned guy. If he is all over me when we're together, kissing me on the cheek, hugging me, holding my hand etc and I reciprocate, is it possible he isn't actually interested in me as a person? He just finds me attractive?
He's always super reluctant to talk about what he does and that kind of thing. I stayed at his house last night and slept on his floor much to my chagrin because I felt that I definitely didn't know him enough to be there. It's hard to enjoy being with someone who is essentially a stranger.
Also I am unsure if his friends like me or not.
[editline]30th March 2015[/editline]
They don't really talk to me? Just ignore me and talk to him and when he was in the bathroom or whatever and I tried to talk to them they didn't engage at all.
[editline]30th March 2015[/editline]
Also I think I am way too clingy but at the same time he can't keep his hands off me so why can't I keep texting him? Or is that too off putting.
Is it a bad technique to wait until he contacts me as a form of self-control, or does that just come across as disinterest.

Everyone at my school always said "If you cross your legs you have no penis" but I never understood it. I can cross mine perfectly fine even now in tight pants and not feel anything, and I am pretty sure there's a penis there.
I actually can't cross my legs. Because thats because my balls are quite low and they just crush. Also i have quite big thighs

There is a certain knack to wearing them comfortably. Although, getting a random boner while wearing them can be quite uncomfortable.

Technically speaking it's illegal to use a dating website until you're 18, but you could give it a try. I've a feeling that there are other people who've gotten lonely enough to the point where they'd use a dating website before they hit the legal age to use one.
I don't think i have a lot of advice to give (since i'm in a long-distance relationship). I met my bf 5 months ago and we've been together for half of that. It started off rather mutually quiet, but he started talking to me over the first month and we ended up supporting each other through some emotional hardships. Then he got flirty and it just happened. I'm seventeen, and he's a year younger than me.
The thing is, before then, I told a straight guy in my grade that I had a crush on him (last year halloween). As you may have read it didn't end up going very well. I ended up in a little bit of depression where I considered myself unfit for a significant other. Very recently (last few days) I've reconciled with him.
The only thing that I'd have to say is that you're probably going to go to university soon so I wouldn't get too deep into a relationship then be forced to part within a year or two. Unless, of course, you plan early. But still something to consider.
One big thing to recommend would be to make sure that whatever relationship you're getting into, make sure it has some solid background. Those tend to be unstable, obviously. Sure it might take some time to form one but try to be patient and keep your hopes up. Besides, from my own experience, I tend to see people who talk about their loneliness to be rather boring. Just be who you are and stand out as yourself. It's easier for someone else to get to know you since talking about loneliness typically accomplishes nothing.
I hope this helps. I'm also pretty much completely gay, and just be weary that you're in a minority group and finding a mate is going to be difficult irl (unless you've got a decent gaydar; i have none). There's also discrimination to face every now and then (depends a lot on region). Lastly, try not to let your biases factor too much in your decisions; before you can consciously recognize something to be a face, you're already subconsciously judging a person.
So guys.
Can we just discuss Nathan Fillion for a second here.
I don't know if i find him stupidly attractive and love to have sexual encounters with him or find him stupidly adorable and want to be his best friend.
