An alternative you?

[Wipperwill]

I really can't think of many times when I was younger that would have changed me. I did meet my ex-sub in a BDSM club that really changed my life for the better. I got to try SOOO many things. Missing that woulda sucked.

If I had been female I would prolly be very pessimistic (Most men aren't worth much I've seen unless you marry them young and train them well. I'm talking about the lying and cheating part.) and a slut. I would like guys (not blind to think as a girl I would only like girls) and girls too. They are cuddly. I'ld like to think I would retain my quirky sense of humor but who knows. Getting sex would be nice and easy, but finding worthwhile sex would be hard. I learned young not to ever fuck someone I either don't like or don't trust.

Overall I think my life is pretty much as it was meant to be. I'm not a huge fan of fate though.

Yeah, I don't really "get out" enough to find sex. ``

Oh yes -- in this alternate universe I previously mentioned, the GLBT group I went to briefly because I wanted (a) help dealing with my newly-uncovered sexuality and (b) sex, but which I discovered (c) "doesn't care whether you're gay, straight, etc., let's do POLITICALLY ACTIVE stuff!" ... would've actually been helpful for A and B without any C.

I tried an LGBT group a while back but they just talked about stuff like AIDS and politics a lot... :/ They didn't really talk much about dealing with sexuality and how to meet people (figuring out whether or not they're into guys and/or girls) and stuff. Even discussions about sex toys would have been nice. So that leaves me with this forum. :B

I probably would've been the same, only I'd be a trap

Didn't you think about getting your face feminized as long as they were cutting it apart anyway?

No, because I was dead-set on being in the army.

My entire like I wanted to be in the Armed forces and only too late do I realize it's a shitfest. If I knew earlier Everything would be so much better.

also I'd have had more self esteem If I knew I could do anything short of killing a motherfucker and get off because I was a minor.

Major;
I should have you come and be a guest speaker at my kid's next birthday party. A large proportion of his friends dream of nothing more than joining up and killing people for fun and profit. (okay, what they talk about is getting to play with all the neat toys, and being worshipped as a hero, but I know it's really about the killing).

But on a pleasant note: I voted for the guy who supports increasing veteran's benefits (as opposed to the former vet who opposes this, because his benefits came from being the son of a navy Admiral, getting elected to congress, and marrying a wealthy heiress. - maybe more vets should try doing that?)

I still dream of killing people for fun and profit. I just realize now I should've done it through some other avenue because the Army does nothing for me. I was supposed to got to Afghanistan last year, but the fuckers in my unit didn't cut me orders to go to training or even fucking tell me I was on the list. I didn't even find out until two months after I was taken off he list for being AWOL! and I was only told I was AWOL by a guy in my unit who was going over when I was doing volunteer duty at Ft Drum for the unit's last AT before their deployment!

I was fucking pissed. and now I transferred to a unit that's just gone into "red" status, and is aparently slated to deploy next year, but they still haven't sent me to school for my new MOS in months.

plus I'm tied to my current location, and that just fucking sucks.

tl;dr killing is all well and good, but the army wastes your time and life.


and another thing; I hate how every time I'm in uniform everyone wants to come up to me and shake my hand and tell me what a great job I'm doing and all that I've done for them.

I HAVEN'T DONE ANYTHING! I'M SITTING ON MY ASS EATING A CHEESEBURGER AND SOAKING UP YOUR TAX DOLLARS. I DON'T EVEN KNOW YOU! FUCK.

I got three medals just for showing up.

I want to be a hero, I'm descended from a Scottish badass who was so awesome just serving under him was considered a block of military education. I want to live up to that. I want to be recorded in some annals like badass of the week.com.

The army gives out honors and awards like candy.

Hmmm ... an alternate-me would be a cute hyperactive trap who has an excessive amount of bondage sex, online and off, and posts on the internet under the guise of a six-foot-two mildly-paunchy mildly-unshaven virgin. :3

Something like this for me as well (minus the bondage, which I just find boring, on both sides). I'd have a lot of RL friends, barely use the internet or play video games, and have moved out of my parent's house when I was 16 to start my own busniess.

If my family hadn't moved across the state halfway through my time in highschool, I'd probably be married to my high school sweetheart and have a kid or two in elementary school by now, working in one of the Big 3 US automakers (automotive design always seemed like an interesting thing) making 1/2 to 2/3 the salary I currently am.
I'd hang out with my old friends that I grew up with, not far from the ratty little town we grew up in, rather than being on the other side of the country from just about anyone I'd ever known.

But there's far too many things I'd have missed out on. Drum & Bugle Corps, which led to the particular University I attended, that led me to an interest in software programming and game design, and a job in Chicago then California, a trip to Poland on company expense (yes, I have been to Auschwitz. There's far worse places to go these days. Tijuana comes to mind).
