People around me

To people about me behind my back, going over my head?Ace Rothstein: What people?Nicky Santoro: What people? What'd you think? I wasn't gonna find out?Ace Rothstein: I don't even know what you're talking about Nick.Nicky Santoro: No? You said I'm bringing heat on you? I gotta listen to people because of your fucking shit? You're ordering me out? You better get your own fucking army pal!Ace Rothstein: I didn't do anything. I mean, I didn't order you or anybody. I only told Andy Stone that you had a lot of heat on you and that was a problem.Nicky Santoro: You want me to get out of my own fucking town?Ace Rothstein: Yeah I said let the bullshit blow over for a while, so I can run the casino. Anything goes wrong with the casino it's my ass, it's not yours, it's my ass!Nicky Santoro: Well, I don't know whether you know this or not, but you only have your fucking casino because I made that possible. I'm what counts out here, not your fucking country clubs or your fucking TV shows! And what the fuck are you doing on TV anyhow? You know I get calls from back home every fucking day, they think you went batshit!Ace Rothstein: I'm only on TV because I got to be able to hang around the casino. You understand that, you know that, come on.Nicky Santoro: You fucking ass! You could've had the food and beverage job without going on television. You wanted to go on TV.Ace Rothstein: Yeah, I did want to go on TV. That way I have a forum, I can fight back. I'm known. People see me. They know they can't fuck around with me like they could if I was an unknown, that's right, yeah!Nicky Santoro: You're making a

Straight.That being said, I have had straight guys come on to me quite a few times. It has been guys who I was good friends with and I guess they figured they could talk to me about their weird fantasies and stuff and trust me not to go off telling. I think most people are curious to some extent and I guess when they get to be good friends with me they find it easy to talk to me. Especially after a few beers and stuff. But here's what I tell them. I have always told them that I am not the gay guy that they get to try that with. I actually feel bad after telling them that because I don't want to hurt their feelings. But at the same time I think them doing something with me and then wondering what would happen after it is over would be miles worse. And this may sound corny too, but I only have sex with people I'm in love with and who love me back. I know that's just something freaky these days, but I have made a pledge to myself. But I also feel that guilt you're feeling when I turn them down. I always tell them that it's not because they're ugly, nasty, freaky, or whatever but just because I value their friendship and respect too much. I also respect myself more than just being a freaky sex monster.Now, that being said... I know that I am very different from most gay people. I also know that a lot of straight people try to demonize gay people for being easy, but I have seen the straight community just as danged easy if not worse. I guess being in a majority kind of clouds ones perception of what's going on around them sometimes. But also keep in mind, that he is another dude. Us gay people have the same over and beyond sex drive that straight guys do. And it can get kind of hard to control it (why God made masturbation). And if you are cute then the guy probably just went a little overboard. Plus maybe the idea of a challenge made it even more tempting for him. And if alcohol was involved, YIKES!!!If this guy is not a jerk (which is also a possibility to consider) then I would just talk to him and apologize. Just let him know that you are straight, have no intention of messing around with a dude, but you respect him and don't want to let drawing a steadfast line not to cross get in the way of you guys having fun around each other. Let him know that you are

Life to people. 7Everyone who wins against Satan will receive all these things from me. I will be their God and they will be my children. 8But I will punish other people. They include:people who are afraid of trouble;people who do not believe in Jesus;people who do disgusting things;people who murder other people;people who have sex in a wrong way;people who use magic to hurt people;people who worship idols;people who tell lies.All these people will go into the lake of fire that burns with sulphur. That is the second death for people.’The new city of Jerusalem comes down from heaven 9Then one of the seven angels with the seven bowls that were full of the seven final troubles came to me. He said, ‘Come with me! I will show you the bride who will become the Lamb's wife.’ 10Then God's Spirit caused me to see and to hear strange things. The angel carried me away to a great mountain that was very high. He showed me God's own holy city, Jerusalem. The city was coming down out of heaven from God. 11It had the bright glory of God. It shone like a valuable jewel that is called jasper. It shone like clean glass. 12The city had a very big, high wall around it. The wall had 12 gates in it. 12 angels stood at the 12 gates. The names of the 12 tribes of Israel's people were written on the 12 gates. 13There were three gates on each side of

Nicole and Ghetsis to push me around. To let them hurt and scare me time and time again. Right now, I just wanted to hide from everyone and everything. Samurai placed a hand on my shoulder and smiled a little. ~You know you can talk to me Paige. You're my family and I'm yours. If you wanna talk, you can if not I'll respect that.~ I snuffled a little and nodded, placing my good hand over his. With Samurai I felt stronger, sure he didn't have much battle experience but he would protect me. He always had and I hated myself for even thinking he would break a promise to me. Break a promise that so may others had. I decided to tell Samurai, he and Gardenia had always been there for me and that wasn't groin to stop now. :I'm j-just scared: I said meekly. :I feel so weak and vulnerable. Twice already while I've been back here I've been hurt and I couldn't do a thing to stop it. I am weak and pathetic. Just like Nicole and Ghetsis said: a small tear escaped from my eye. :I probably shouldn't even exists. I... I mean I can't even sit up without it hurting and that what scares me... pain: Samurai's eyes softened. ~Paige, you're not weak or pathetic. You are just listening to what the wrong people say. You are a strong and beautiful young girl.~ I shook my head but winced at the pain in the back of me neck. :But I'm not strong. I've let myself get pushed around my whole life and I'm to scared to fight back: Gardenia spoke this time. ~Paige you were locked up down here for seven years. That would crush a lot of people, turn them into depressed and scared people but you still managed to be strong. You found a game in everything you saw the wonder and joy most people would ignore. You might not be able to fight back physically but you have the strongest mind I've ever seen.~ My tears were now flowing freely as I struggled to hug my two Pokemon. I ignored the pain as I threw my arms around them, sobbing into their arms. I felt safe, I felt wanted, I felt free in their arms. For a moment I forgot about pain, I forgot about Ghetsis and Nichole, I forgot about the little hole in my heart that had been slashed open after being locked up for seven years. I just felt hope. .~*~.~*~.~*~.~*~.~*~.~*~.~*~.~*~.~*~.~*~.~*~.~*~.~*~. HEYO CANDY CANES!!! DID YA MISS MEH!!!??? Sorry it took so long. I really wanted this to be a mushy sorta chapter with Paige not dying. See I don't rip people hearts out by killing the main character. *looks at I'll smile for you* TT0TT Milly: you killed Emma SMG: O_O oh... er... um... well would you look at the time. I need to go... do... something. BYE *flees*

A choice of a search based on radius OR a search based on location. They had that search functionality before. So to put that back in would be a fairly simple software change. The only work around is to keep changing my location in my profile so the search radius if based on different points. But this is making ME do the work of the software. Computers are supposed to make life easy. This current design makes me do the work manually. That is a very poorly designed service.Then there is the message deletion issue. All messages sent and received, once read, are deleted after 7 days. Suppose you message someone today, then they reply after 2 weeks. Your copy of the message you sent has already been deleted. If you have messaged several people, you can be left wondering if you messaged this person some time ago, if so what did you say, or have they just messaged you out of the blue? A 7 day deletion period is just useless. Of course you can choose to email the message history to yourself. But that has two downsides. First of all the service is making me do the work again manually that the software should do for me. Secondly the message history with one person is split over multiple emails. That is a real pain to look back on.When they redesigned the service a few years ago it seems they tried to create a web based version of grindr. The whole philosophy now seems to be based around instant hookups with local people. Some people only want that. That is great, but they can use grindr. Some people, like myself, actually want to meet someone for a lasting relationship. Romeo no longer caters for us. If and when it

Explained that teens often consider it socially OK to change yourself a little bit to impress the people you’re trying to fit in with, but if you’re too obvious about it, then you’re a pick-me girl. “They’re trying to figure out who they are, and people are saying who they are is just someone looking for validation all the time from other people,” Galanti said. “And now they have to change that and get your validation instead.” Ultimately, these girls are just trying to fit in. And labeling them as pick-me girls is an insult that should be avoided, Galanti said. “I believe it’s important to approach this topic with empathy and understanding,” said life coach Bayu Prihandito, founder of online coaching service, Life Architekture. “People, especially young women as they continue to grow up, have to navigate a society filled with mixed messages about their worth, identity, and the roles they are expected to play,” he noted via email. “And you have social media, the usual suspect, amplifying these messages and creating an environment where external validation is not just sought after but often seems necessary.” Prihandito encourages a more compassionate and understanding conversation around the ‘pick-me girl’ phenomenon, one that veers away from judgment and toward genuine support and empowerment. The term can be especially harmful for girls who are genuinely interested in the things they’re being ridiculed for, Galanti said. “If you do like sports or sitting around with the guys and drinking beer, it puts you
