Oh Geez! They sound like to-tal asswads… Good for you that you don’t feel like belonging with ‘m!

not a great picture! anyway, sounds like a blessing in disguise. kinda like me never being able to get a date with that guy in high school who ended up dead of a crack overdose.

you deserve so much better than those catty creeps. i would hope that you never kiss anyone’s ass and waste your time being overly nice. folks should be begging you to be their friend. you are the prize!

Paul, I think there is synchronicity in the air. I was going to sit down this week and write a piece about not fitting into the ‘typical’ gay scene and how it seems to have spilled over to the blog community. Weird.

You are so much better off in my opinion. Personally, I think you just hit upon the wrong crowd your first attempt. Don’t give up though.

Dutchy - Heh. I don’t ever feel like I belong with people like that. Just thought it might be nice to have some fellow gay bloggers around to hang out with on occasion.

Heather - It’s not of me. To my knowledge there are no photos of me climbing stairs in a thong. Yet. But with enough tequila I could be persuaded. You might have dodged a bullet with the crack head.

hello - I can’t be the prize. No one would be able to carry me off the stage and put me on their mantle. I don’t kiss ass. Never have, never will. Insincerity is an evil I don’t indulge.

Howard - It’s weird how that happens. I was writing my post on Don Imus when Liz posted hers that said very similar things. I’ve decided I’m going to start my own gay clique. You want in? I’ll invite Scott, too.

good to know, i have thong issues. i’ve spent too much time pulling my underwear ~out~ of my butt to wear something designed to ride between the cheeks. oh and great, another click i can’t join. lol

Heather - I completely agree about the thong. And yes I know this because I own one. I had a really cool pair of pants that looked just awful with a boxer line underneath. I was ok until I tried to squat and nearly cut myself in half.

The Clique I’m starting isn’t gay only… we just won’t let the wrong kind of gays in, if you get my drift!

Actually, I think you should let anyone in, but they have to read everyone else’s bios and a week’s worth of our blogs and then THEY can decide if they fit in.

Howard - I don’t think that self-policing stuff works. How can we be an exclusive clique that lets just anyone join?

bunch of catty bitches is what they are!!!

webmiztris - Me - ow.

[...] You know how I wrote about the Gay Blog Clique that I had stumbled into? [...]

Well, if you ever want to hang out, just let me know! Again, I don’t consider myself to be part of a clique - just friends having fun with this internet thing.

We try to have fun with the podcast and you should be a guest…

Dan - It will be easier now that we’ve met. Just let me know when!

Do you honestly think it’s a Gay Blog Clique? Honestly, it’s a bunch of guys who have blogs who update them when they have time/feel like it and occasionally see each other in person between work and chores. Not quite sure how to analyze this post…

Chad - I’m not saying it’s the gay mafia, or anything. It could totally be unintentional, however, I found most of you independently, by googling gay blogs in San Francisco. I was on a kick to get in contact with other gay writers in the area. I left comments, subscribed to feeds, emailed and waited. I didn’t get a single response. I tried again the following week, and the next…. then I put it together that all of the bloggers that I had been trying to connect with were all inter-connected and were interacting with each other. But my comments/emails/links were being ignored.

It reminded me very much of wandering around the cafeteria in middle school wondering at which table I really belonged. Hence this post.

Jester, if I ever seemed aloof or disinterested in your comments, I apologize. My blog is just something I do when I have a little spare time to sit down and bang something out on my keyboard. I don’t take it seriously…I mean, I haven’t updated the template in 2 years and if I post twice a month it’s a miracle. I was also going through some personal tribulations that I simply did not desire to share with anyone on my blog. It’s not exactly a diary of what’s going on in my life. Sometimes I choose to share certain intimate details about me, but most of the time I’m an intensely private person and tend to hold people at arm’s length until I get to know/trust them.

For the record, I too wandered around the cafeteria wondering where I belonged. When I decided the “cool” kids were douchebags anyway, and the nerds considered me too nerdy to sit with them (no, really…that was the case), and the goths told me I was a “waste of skin” and to get lost, I simply sat at an empty table and enjoyed my braunschweiger sandwich and lemon juice-infused apple and Little Debbie snack cake by myself while reading Discover and Car & Driver magazines in peaceful, happy bliss. I simply created my own space where I belonged.

Chad - The kiss was more than enough of an apology. ::wink::

I understand that not everyone takes their site seriously. There are many of us who do. There are some of us who rely on our sites to make an income.

I would have been friends with you in school. I love braunschweiger.

If I relied on my site for income, I’d be homeless.

And yes, the fact that braunschweiger exists is proof that god loves us.

Besides…if there were no fatties allowed, I never would have let All Prep & No H stay with me this Pride.

Chad - I sure hope Darin doesn’t read this. I don’t know how much he’d like being grouped in with the fatties. ;D
