generally speaking, being gay isn't something you're "unsure about".
it can be something you're not equipped to deal with.
or something you're unwilling to face.
but VERY rare is the person who rally "doesn't know if or not".
Most of the gay people I know knew when they were little kids. they didn't have a name for it, but they knew.
Being gay has nothing to do with gender roles, either.
And cooking is certainly not a feminine thing to do... most of the great chefs in the world are heterosexual males.
There ain't all that much gayness going on in the kitchens of all those 5-star restaurants!
Come to think of it, most of the gay men I know couldn't cook to save their lives.. my own husband would probably drop dead from hunger if I wasn't there to make his meals!

I say confusing as in I feel like I bounce back and forth one day I like XY, some days XX. Also because I can't openly say anything about XY anywhere but petopia really. And then there's other things but yeah.
And I was just disliking gender roles separately it was more of a rant all mashed together because I tend to think about things and just rant about them all at once. The cooking thing is also a product of where I grew up they just said it to try and be a smart ass.

Over here cider's booze and booze only. You can't get non-booze cider infact I did not know there was such a thing till a couple of years ago

.
So I was having a talk with a mate on WoW and it went like this:
Mate: "man when I was a kid I loved cider"
Me: "Dude you got to drink booze as a kid? I only got sips!"
Mate: "I was not talking about hard cider

"
Me: "anit that just apple juice then?"
Mate: "nope"
Me: :S
I don't get the states sometimes.

Wikipedia wrote:While the term cider is used for the fermented alcoholic drink in most of the world, the term hard cider is used in the United States and much of Canada. In the United States, the distinction between plain apple juice and cider is not well established.
Some individual states do specify the difference. For example, according to the Massachusetts Department of Agricultural Resources "Apple juice and apple cider are both fruit beverages made from apples, but there is a difference between the two. Fresh cider is raw apple juice that has not undergone a filtration process to remove coarse particles of pulp or sediment. Apple juice is juice that has been filtered to remove solids and pasteurized so that it will stay fresh longer. Vacuum sealing and additional filtering extend the shelf life of the juice." In Canada, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency also regulates "unpasteurized apple cider".
I can assure you that there is a massive difference between apple cider and apple juice.
I love the former, the latter makes me sick.

See we'd just call both of those apple juice as they both are juice from apples. Cider needs to be alcoholic to be cider here. Guess it's another thing you guys have to ahve to be "differnt" from the rest of the world

By that quote you put up it sounds like even you can't even turely make your mind up on the subject

I'm not from the States.
However, that said, we USED to call that sort of juice "cider", but with the prevalence of high-quality alcoholic ciders (it has become quite the industry in Canada) the use of the term "cider" to denote raw or unpasteurized juices has fallen a bit out of favour.

I see Cider as something that is sparkly and bubbling. Apple juice is not sparkly and bubbly. Like Suku, apple juice makes me nauseous. Apple Cider makes me happy.
Oh, uh, rant.
...I want more cider.

See, to me, cider is brown, opaque, tangy apple juice. I think there are about six different kinds of cider. xD It's certainly a lot less fake tasting than apple juice.
Anyway, my rant - now that I'm no longer in HateEveryone mode, I have no time to draw.

If you want to play dress up, go buy yourself a doll. There is no Way in hell I'm going to be able to pull those kind clothes you want me to wear over my ass. Unless you want me to feel like shit about my weight. Yes, I am 10kg overweight. I might be at fault for that myself, but you are NOT helping.

LFR makes me eyetwitchy. People are jerks. And invariably the guy AFK insulting us then rolling on the loot wins the item. Awesome.
And I hate hearing progression/hardcore raiders complain that LFR should go away. For reals man?
And for some reason, I keep getting attacked by angry female players because I dared talk to/RP with a dude. Egads, if you're that possessive just keep him on a leash or be open about it instead of sending me nasty tells.

Bf gave me his Itouch or whatever its called... it almost works like my android but it cant call people but it can go on the web and the screens slide and you can download apps and probably dozens of other things but i cant figure out how it works.... all i want is something to play music.. this thing is complicated like hell.. i need him to teach me how it works next time i see him (he wiped it for me and we were down a computer due to hardrive problems so he couldnt show me at his place.. it wouldnt do a single thing without being plugged into itunes.. probably cause of the wiping to factory settings)

Stupid LFR, stupid priest blaming me for everything, in /s, in whispers and in the raidchat... because I accidentally killed a tentacle on flying Deathwing. Getting wound up? Yes.... Ranting about it? Oh yes! makes me feel better :-/ Stupid loot not worth feeling angry and wound up by some elitist jerks!

FREAKING COMPUTER.
It decided to freak out YET AGAIN (I'm fairly sure it got a virus between the time my anti-virus expired and when I renewed it.. It also seems to get a virus every year, without fail, near the end of the year.) and has left me to derp around on my mom's computer for the last couple days.
AND WITHOUT ANY DIGITAL DRAWING CAPABILITIES. AUGH.
Oh and my mom's computer is a Mac, which I'm not used to. I hate using this thing. We also have no word on when I'm getting my computer back.. >.<
Oh yeah, also.. It's quarter to 4 in the morning.. And I hear this weird grunting noise.. Freak out.. Only to realize it's MY DOG SNORING. Oi.
