So…is Shystraddlers going to have a meetup anytime soon?
-
I’d be up for it. Hermits United!
-
Sweet. When would you like to meet up? I watched the Hermits United! video, too – I really need to start watching Doctor Who…and Torchwood, at that.
-
Well, we’re in the middle of moving, so I probably wouldn’t be available until the end of next month. The biggest problem is location. Where are you? I’m in northern Idaho right now and we’re moving down to south eastern Washington. Spokane or Pullman in WA or Coeur d’Alene or Moscow in Idaho wouldn’t be too far to drive. I need to look and…[Read more]
-
Bah. That is of course the one important detail I forgot to mention. I’m in San Francisco, and that’s a bit too far to go for me, unfortunately. I hope your week’s going well so far, though.
-
Ah, distance is a killer. If I were a wizard, this wouldn’t be a problem.
-
-
Interesting, fingers crossed if I get the interview and get the job (which may be a long shot, but I’m possibly delusionally hopeful) I’ll be moving to NE Oregon
-
Ooh, good luck on the interview! Oregon is lovely. If you do end up moving there, drop a note here. That’s not too far for me to drive for a meetup.

if anyone is near NC, send me a message and we’ll figure something out. NC Pride is in September (it’s too darn hot in June).

o.o omg there are people in my house. They are drinking and laughing and singing really loud to Beatles songs. I am hiding in a fort upstairs with a laptop and a bottle of gin. I wish the people would just go AWAY so I could write my history of education paper…ok let’s be real, I’d probably be watching last night’s So You Think You Dance. Either…[Read more]

*tucks you in all snuggly* I’LL DEFEND YOU! *brandishes spork*

I would totally hide with you, I already backed out of going to a party tomorrow cause I’m in hermit mode
-
would you like to borrow my spork?
-
i like the idea of shystraddlers defending each other.

Does anyone have any advice about going out to eat with a group of people when you’re vegan? I haven’t really had this problem a lot because I’m homeschooled and don’t go out much, but I’m going off to college next year and will hopefully have real friends.
I always feel like a pain because I hate salad and a lot of other places don’t have good…[Read more]-
Salad is usually horrible, agreed! I don’t know where you’re based, but Indian(/Pakistani/Bangladeshi) restaurants in UK often have veggie curries, which, unless they use ghee, should be vegan.
East Asian places (e.g. Wagamama’s) should also be quite a good bet, since they don’t often use dairy. Wagamama’s has a folder of allergy etc advice,…[Read more] -
Memorize which restaurants in the area have vegan stuff so when someone wants to go out to eat you can suggest some places right off the bat. Accept that you might be eating plain salad sometimes, or just get a drink and eat beforehand, and talk a little about how you’re vegan and hopefully if your new friends are nice they’ll make sure you’re…[Read more]
-
I only ever eat Asian food (chinese, thai, indian, japanese). This solves everything. Or alternatively look on happycow.com or urbanspoon.com or eatability.com for veg-friendly restaurants.
-
Thanks for the advice everyone! I’ll definitely try to find out some good vegan spots to eat beforehand…and check out those websites, too. :)

-
Mediterranean food can be pretty vegetarian friendly as well. Also, a lot of college towns have a large enough vegetarian population to support a vegetarian restaurant or two, so you might look into that option as well. I did my undergrad at University of Wyoming and even they had a veggie restaurant, and that town didn’t even have a place to…[Read more]

i need to put my feelings somewhere. *looks around* is here okay?
i kinda had a first date -first consensual same-sex experience that ended in some cuddles and handholding (it was one of those “let’s go somewhere as friends and hang out” things). i think it went well, but something happened – it would be TMI to tell here – but that kinda made for…[Read more]-

Good for you for taking responsibility for your own actions, but it’s important to remember that taking responsibility is not the same as beating yourself up over something. It’s easier said than done, but try to be kind to yourself! If whatever is going on is serious enough that you’re seeing a counselor for it, then you might want…[Read more]
