Hayyy, it's Lucas, leave it!

text; after the argument w george, by like half an hour??

[kirifuda]

you ok?

[kyoumibukai]

Yeah. I'm okay. I don't usually lose my temper like that, but that dude was a douche.

[kirifuda]

yeah, he is. guys like him remind me why i'm not out on facebook. don't worry too much about it, all right?

[ you're picking a fight with him rn tho steven. ]

[kyoumibukai]

Eh... I'm trying not to. I just get sick of it, you know... Cause like... He thinks if I'm gay my opinion doesn't matter. That just pisses me off so much.

I was right, though? Right?

[kirifuda]

yeah, i do know. at least he's up-front about it, that's a nice change of pace.

you were right. you were right, and he doesn't want to admit it. so, fuck him.

[kyoumibukai]

Yeah, I guess. I'm just not used to people saying crap like that around me, you know? I'm pretty popular at school and everybody knows I don't put up with bullying... I know everybody, so...

Sorry I'm being weird but I usually don't get to talk to other gay guys very much, at least not about serious stuff. So I guess um. Thanks.

[kirifuda]

man, it must be nice to know everybody and shut stuff down like that, instead of just punching the troublemakers...

you're welcome. you're not being that weird?? just because you like to pretend you only ever think about fun doesn't mean that's true. (right?) i wish you weren't hearing this shit at all, especially not on the stupid network.

[kyoumibukai]

You got into fights? I can't see that at all!

Haha, well. I guess I try to think about fun stuff mostly. Nobody likes to be around someone who complains all the time.

But yeah, I think about serious stuff too. I just do it when I'm alone. I mean you can't stop the world from being shitty sometimes, but it's better if you don't let it get you down.

I've heard worse stuff than that, I just got mad when he kept... harping on it, that's all. I mean, I go to high school. Every other word used to be fag out of the mouths of half the guys here.

[kirifuda]

even nerds get into fights when they have to!!!!! i didn't usually punch anybody. just yelled. sometimes it got rough.

nobody knows how to relate to somebody who barely complains, you know.

that was junior-high levels of determined petulant. i think i've heard 'fag' enough to fill a hundred swear jars... it doesn't really stop being rough no matter how many times i hear it.

[kyoumibukai]

Wouldn't want to screw up your drawing hand, at least.

Hey, come on, it's not like I never complain. I just don't usually spend a lot of time talking about how half the world still thinks I'm going to hell or whatever. Or how I dunno what I'm going to do with my life when I grow up. Or how the guy I like doesn't like me back.

Still complain about shitty assignments and the weather and cafeteria food. I'm not a ROBOT.

Yeah, I feel you. I've felt scared for my safety just from hearing people say words like that, too.
