Yeah, I'm not a fan of the Irish flag.

Incidentally I meant that it is a board full of strangers who will misinterpret you. Those who you know well will understand what you mean, usually. I was wondering if anyone cared about being misinterpreted. Looking at the sheer number of posters here it would be impossible to know everyone, let alone the regular posters/lurkers, especially if you weren't a regular poster/lurker yourself.

Swedish or Norwegian. Blue and yellow are my favourite colours together, however not in a fashion sense, so Sweden edges it.

Well it didn't work so I've never actually done it. As for the hurting comments, my ex said it hurts first but it's absolutely amazing once you are used to it, the same as first time losing your virginity. Obviously I have no idea if this is the same for everyone, or even a lot of people but that was her experience. It requires a lot more patience and the guy to not be an idiot and go charging in. I don't think it would be wise of me to discuss my genitals on here :lol: As for having a small dick, I don't think it's a huge deal at all. You would just have to utilise positions which maximise deeper penetration, and I imagine oral sex would be better as deep throating would be a hell of a lot easier. Some girls don't like big dicks at all, so as per usual it all comes down to the individual. I'd still hate to have a small dick though :lol: Apologies if this post was too graphic, it was not intended to be, but since we are talking openly about sex and the thread is clearly labelled I guess these things are to be expected.

On a similar note one post that you can make can tarnish the entirety of everything you have ever posted because people associate you with that and read things into what you have said in the past alongside this new post and make all sorts of connections which may not really be there. With regards to art and literature, an artists entire work can be viewed in a very different way if they commit suicide, even though not all of their work may have been connected to the single act they committed at the end of their life. People will see everything as depressing and look for signs and interpret it in their own way, negating the work to an extent and perhaps missing out on the true point that had been made upon the creation of the art in the first place. Quotes made by people may only have been their opinion for a limited period of their life, though they are tagged to them forever. What they once may have believed can change, obviously, but quotes are permanent and it's difficult to take them back without issuing a new quote. This sin't even taking into account the words being taken out of context or falsified etc.

Not necessarily your fault if you don't. It will be a combination of many factors.

Perhaps even though you are not confused by certain people, you do not actually understand them but think that you do. You never know.

Thanks. I respect you, also.

No I'm not... erm BOOBS!

Haha, that's fine. I do find it quite interesting that I'm not very good with green, greys and browns and therefore I literally see things differently to others, and that will affect my experience to an extent. Is anybody else colour blind in any way? I have been told I'm not colour blind by the optician but that I struggle with certain colours sometimes if they are particular shades. If it is clear block colours there are no problems whatsoever.

Which part of the post is that in reference to?

True, but I don't mind all that much if nobody reads it :lol: I was just getting something I had been considering down in text because it was annoying me haha.

Yeah sorry about that. I don't even know if there is much to add either, if people were interested in what I had said.

If I had been with a girl and was in a secure relationship where you get to the stage where you are practically sharing your bodies and you know each other inside out I would consider having sex with a girl on her period. After all, once you get past the mental aspect of blood, it is only a body fluid, much in the same way that cum is. It isn't going to be ingested. Doing it in the shower would be an option, though the phrase don't look down comes to mind. It would also have to happen on her request, it would not be something I would actively seek to do. And obviously oral would be out the question :lol: I have no interest in anal but once again if it is requested by somebody I am in love with and we know our bodies inside out and accept each other totally, then it wouldn't be a problem. I had an ex girlfriend who had an obsession with anal and in a previous relationship had gone 6 months only having anal sex. We personally never did that as, without meaning to go into too much detail, it wasn't possible for her with me without a deal of preparation beforehand to make things easier, and with the limited time we had together it was never seen as worth it. I would have done it with her though, but once again it isn't something I would (pardon the pun) push for. I could never do these things with somebody I didn't love though.

I've been thinking over the last few days about how different people view the things that they experience, both in life and even on this board. Being hungover I probably won't explain this point well but I find the topic interesting. I have noticed on the board different ways in which people react and respond to certain events, certain types of people, or simply the way that they themselves communicate and seem to assimilate the information which they see or create on this board. With many different people here, from many different countries, each with their own set of cultures and traditions there is a lot going on. The vast majority of this board and the posts within it, however, are of English language, which is to many a second language, or perhaps third or fourth. It is interesting to sometimes see the confusion on the board and it led me to wonder how people perceive the board and those who are on it. People can read so much into a post, even though it could be steeped in irony or sarcasm or even just a flippant remark not meant to be taken seriously. We make perceptions of the people we meet here based almost entirely on the content of their posts (naturally, as this is all we can base our opinions on and it would be odd for us not to make any judgement whatsoever). If the one thing we make our judgements on is so insecure and not as reliable as we would like to imagine (as we have no idea regarding the seriousness of the post or the posters true intent), just how accurate are our perceptions? To each one of us this board could be a completely different experience. I first pondered this (without naming names in a negative way as I have nothing against this poster) when Lory made a post which completely baffled me, though some of it made sense. First of all the point which was being made was based on a misunderstanding of a previous post of another member and I was confused as to what exactly she had thought that the other member had meant. Then the fact that her own post wasn't as clear as it would have been in her own language (but had still been posted) made me wonder if she knew exactly what she had said herself and if she was saying what she had wanted to say. Then I was intrigued as to how her post would be interpreted by the hundreds of other posters, maybe further taking it away from the point she was originally making. The fact I understood part of the post she had made also made me wonder if the bit I understood was indeed what she had wanted to say. Perhaps the only bit that I understood was not something which she had meant to say, so just how much of the post could I accept as legitimate. Then I wondered exactly how people see this board. If they don't understand what is being said (or they think they do but are misunderstanding) then they will be having a very different experience to what I personally have, and indeed what you have. Each person could be completely different to how you perceive them based purely on the way that you assimilate the posts that they make. This stretches out to every day life too. There is a saying (I forget the exact phrasing) that if a lion could speak to you in your own language you still wouldn't be able to understand it, simply because it's life experiences and the way that it assimilates information would be so alien to your own, much in the same way that you could overhear a conversation between scientists discussing something you have no idea about. In that circumstance it is possible for the conversation to go completely over your head and feel as though they are speaking another language, even though they are not. Consider therefore the difference between different species, never mind fellow humans. With all this in mind a slight paranoia took hold of me that there are a significant percentage who will misconceive you and the person who you are (indeed there will be different testimonies regarding you as a person depending on who is asked, some people will think you are one type of person whereas others will think you are completely different) and the actions you carry out in every day life. It stretches past language, to how you view certain events, whether it is on a moral basis or even down to how you see a colour (if for example you are colour blind) or the emotional tags you have connected to certain experiences which are different to everyone. Everybody dies but your reputation outlives you, and in many respects is quite important as that is stuck with you long after you are gone and there is no way of you changing it after you have died. Admittedly this makes the whole both important and futile, as you have no control over it then, and there is nothing you can do nor will you care as you will be dead. Basically a rambling post but how do you view the board, do you understand what I mean, and do you take care to phrase your posts to be understood by all or not bother as it's simply a message board of strangers? Have you ever been in a situation where you cannot understand how a person can think the way they do about someone?

It is impossible to make judgement without more information, and ultimately until we all knew you in person, but if you feel you have the necessary attributes to attract a partner then your best bet is to work your way into a position where you will meet like-minded people (or a specific type of person different to yourself if you are filled with self loathing). Are you ever in the position where you are in situations with girls you are interested in? You mention that you are successful at University so would it be possible to involve yourself in some extra curricular activities which may help you mix with people you have yet to meet? Aside to that simply carry on doing what you are doing and something will happen sooner or later I am sure. I know a couple of really nice guys, attractive too, who didn't get a girlfriend until they were at least 22 as they were waiting for the right person. There is no shame in it. Have you ever been in a position where you have made your feelings known to a girl? Or is there nobody around who you have an interest in?

Ha, our choices are so similar in places. In the last couple of weeks or so I've done 'true love will find you in the end', 'babies', 'disarm', 'lucky' and 'this must be the place'. You should add me on LastFm. http://www.last.fm/user/ImDannyBloom

Not that I'm aware of. When Mike showed me he said that was the only way.

If you guys are doing multiple ones ask Ian to advertise it elsewhere. That way it's more likely there will be plenty of people around and less quiet periods.

If anyone can make it http://www.ustream.tv/channel/braddock-s-listening-party

It's better not to be under pressure for your first party. Either myself or Mike will pm you the details on how to do it. Probably Mike since I'm working till late tomorrow. http://www.ustream.tv/channel/braddock-s-listening-party

:lol: Do you want me to do tonight, then pm you how to do it so you can do the next one?

Any luck?

If you press broadcast as you play it from the ustream producer it should play from your stream automatically.

I'll head up to bed now in preparation :p
