I have, over the course of a month, consumed like a kilogram of honey by making black tea with lemon slice and a teaspoon of it. This is my favorite sweet beverage. Can't stop, won't stop.

Speaking of honey, I'm still drinking a ton of Arizona Green Tea, the zero-calorie kind.  I still don't get how it contains honey yet has 0 calories on the back.  I guess it just rounds down, since it does have "<1g" sugar.

Oh huh, just noticed it has vitamin C in it.  Score, I don't like citrus.

Got a new phone to replace the one that got wrecked. Now I just gotta get it activated

According to my gym evaluation, about only 9% of my body is composed of fat. For someone of my age and size, it should be ideally around 14%. I'm actualy slowly gaining weight, but since I'm swimming + running + general exercise, its mostly just lean weight.

I NEED TO KEEP EATING ALL THE THINGS.

[Eric Blank]

That gives you an excuse to eat delicious cake at least. Im stuck trying to lose weight

So the Username thing is about 3 pages back but I got to chip in as well. (Don't think I've ever typed it here.)

Its a pretty simple story. Back when I was 16ish I wanted to comment on this Youtube video that had another comment about the anime "Great Teacher Onizuka" (Still one of my top 3). But I needed to make a account. So I clicked the sign up button and while trying to think of a username I see in the whited out background of the page a Comment by someone with a username containing 'Lemons' on the bottom of the page. So I'm like hmmm 'it can't just be lemons what shall I add to it?' and thus BadLemons was born.

That same year I was stalking bay12 and came across the start of The Littlest Cheesemaker (Now one of my favorite story's) and after a while of reading it I just had to post. When making my username for here I was like Hmm 'Must add something else' at the time I had a school friend who used roman numerals instead of numbers on the end of taken usernames he wanted. AND THUS BADLEMONSXI was born!!! I make the lemon avatar that you all now and love the same day and put 'Lemons'o Doom.' under it and the rest is history.

And there you have it. Sorry for the late post I wanted to join in as well.

AW YISSSS

I'm a giant super robot trapped in a human body.

[ECrownofFire]

My last name roughly means "fire", though that'll be ruined when I eventually marry my girlfriend (we're planning to smoosh them together :3). One possible meaning of my middle name can be roughly shoehorned into meaning "crown". And the E is just because I wanted something more unique than "CrownofFire" (which I actually used to go by on these very forums), just a random letter really (zero relation to the internet "e" prefix).

[Descan]

All y'all other bay12ers coming out brings a tear to my eye. I left for a while, and I come back to find little rainbow flowers sprouting up everywhere.

I didn't start transitioning until halfway through 21. Lots of people come out later in life, whether it be gay or bi or trans or whatever else.

Pretty sure this is one of the queerest communities on the game/nerd culture internet, and... I kinda have no idea why?

I asked Toady once his take on it, and it boiled down to him thinking that it's because he's quick to ban people who use slurs and would otherwise make this an unwelcoming place.

Makes sense to me, and that it makes it more likely for people to come out, and that the average Queerosity of an internet place is more-or-less stable, it's just the level of folk who are actually open about it that differs.

[Heron TSG]

Woohoo, got my name changed with some help from Toady. Heron is a username that I've started using in the last few years, and is a wee bit less male-gendered than Barbarossa. Getting rid of masculine names has been a project of mine for a while. Gonna leave a helpful reference in my signature for a while, though. And leave the old avatar for a while, until I figure out how to draw a penguin with heron wings.

[ECrownofFire]

I've found that LGBT and other groups tend to just... congregate. Even when we have no idea of who each other are.

It's as if we're all sleeper agents for the Gay Agenda. We know where to go, but we don't know who we are, nor do we know who the others are. It takes time for us to figure ourselves out, and even longer to figure out who the others are as well.

[hops]

I think it's mainly a function of Bay12 having less dicks. Metaphorically.

[TD1]

You all speak of gay congregations and so on, but the level of queerosity on this forum far exceeds anything I've ever known anywhere else. In real life I've know two gays, possibly three, and two more that I saw kissing next to the school library. And that is with me being in six different educational institutes, including university. I've seen the odd one that acts kinda gay at university, but I'm hesitant to label them as such, and even then it's still nowhere in the percentage seen here.

[Descan]

Well, like I said, I think the percentages of an internet population that is non-cis and/or non-hetero are basically constant (until you get into the really anti-queer areas, like... I dunno, Stormfront?), it's just that the number of people who are willing to be open about it and talk about it differs based on the community and how welcoming it feels, based on the numbers of people already out (some sort of critical mass wherein a queer folk is more-or-less guaranteed to see someone talking about it, and learn that it's a decent place to be themselves) and how unwelcome dickishness is.

That said, IRL Queer congregation tends to work in that any group of friends with at least one queer folk in it, is pretty much guaranteed that nearly everyone else in the group is also queer. You don't often see singular folk in the wild, though it does happen. Even then, they probably have a group of queer friends that you don't know about; A different town, possibly entirely online, that kind of thing.

Same thing (the first one, not the latter) tends to happen with women, I think. Any given community probably has a large population of women; You just don't know about it until they tell you, and most people default to assuming someone online is male. Though I think this has been lessening as of late...

First you initialize The Seal God and now you change out Barbarosa. Does the name betrayals never end?!? How is an old man supposed to remember anything?
