h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

You are so right, I was just saying that the main lesson to let the past being not as important as who you are now, was learnt from that. In fact I have no idea how the last girl, I went with would feel knowing she was the rebound between two guys.

However seeing as I used to work with her best mate, who actually set us up about 2 months after suspecting I was gay. Strange way to go about things but there you go.

Of course the good times teach us lessons, but we tend to learn more from our mistakes, when it's going well you don't analyse as much.

I don't think that it is necessarily true that we learn much more from mistakes then from good experiences. I haven't had that much experience in life yet, being only 18, and none of it, I'm thankful to say, has been too awful and what I've learnt from that is very important. I trust my own judgement more and more as I get older and I've also learnt more about what works for me and I'm very grateful that I know my own mind because so many people don't.

OK how about I say it harder to remember all the lessons learnt from the good times they jsut become part of you. You actually do analyse things when they go wrong, when life is fine you just tend to float along.

Sounds fair. Just do remember than the good is there, even if it's easier to notice the bad (advice /I/ really need to take to heart!).

Hey I should have just taken the praise for the advise.

I do accept the good. As a poet the bad is often easier to write, but then I do write fun stuff as well, I just come back to it later on and wonder what? Whereas the dark stuff is always easier to re-interpret.

There I go rambling on again!!! When will I learn.

Why does it seem that absolutely everything I want to add to this forum is completely off topic?

Post away, we could do with some topic drift back to topic if you want to go there.

Yeah! Natter away! We can always start new conversations to bring it back on topic!

To change the topic myself - comment and crit (and contributions!) to the new page, M2M2 rants - http://www.h2g2.com/A309377

I like it, but you definitely need more contributors. Anyone else got something they'd love a rant about?

PS I especially like the latest addition

Teehee...

But yes - MORE RANTS PLEASE!

Yeah definatley as at the moment there are the three M2M2ateers.

I know - it's /bizarre/ isn't it. Do you think it's that h2g2 is incredibly bad for getting to pages that interest you, or that something /really/ weird is happening statistically?

Maybe the problem is that H2G2 is just a bit of fun and usually gay politics just isn't a fun thing. Or perhaps when it was advertised people came, looked, didn't see a huge group and left. Or maybe they're all just in the closet and don't wish to contribute. Perhaps a page on "setting up a new user for your alter ego" would be helpful?

I do think however it's a case of "If we build it they will come".

Now who would set up a page un setting up your lesbigay alter ego Me or Berilia.

Lets keep building I'm sure they will come.

Yup, that is the principle I'm working by. Lots of page so that when the multi-million dollar advertising campaign () kicks in, they'll be lots of interest!

As to your suggestions, Cathy, sure it's just a bit of fun, but it's also supposed to be a community site, and one based on talk about /everything/. Knowing how relieved people tend to be to find places where they can chat happily and seriously which isn't IRC (and thus based on net-sex), I'd have thought more people would be interested.

I can't help wondering if the 3800 afforementioned researchers were just your lots alter egos...

The whole endeavour has basically dies on its arse hasn't it?

Whole endeavour? You mean the whole forum thing or just this conversation? And besides, what's wrong/right with alter-egos? (I don't have any, so I wouldn't know!)

Besides, isn't it supposed to be 9900 LGBT researchers now?

It's probably even more than that now. Nothing wrong/right/whichever wrong with alter ego's, there just seemed to be a lot of them about when I posted that.

What was the conversation about again?

I've absolutely no idea!
