OMG i started 2 threads today!!





So, for those of you that have been to org gatherings, how do you talk your significant other into it?

I just dont know that my hubby would wanna go with me, which could be fun but I digress...

What do your mates know about the org people... I do realize some of you have been here for years but do they have any interest in meeting other orgers?

leave him at home

I asked my husband if he wants to come to London in July for the invasion, but he doesn't want to






















Only joking!
We do lots of things together and lots of things seperately. He just doesn't want to come.

Well thats kinda sad...

The thing about them going is there really not gonna understand the inside jokes are they!

tinaz said:

Exactly.
I do different things with different groups of friends. I wouldn't really want them to mix. They'd all irritate each other.

My former bf was an orger himself but rarely posted, so it was never a problem and he met some orgers himself too. My current bf knows about some people here, but doesn't really get why I have friends here who I want to meet.

sometimes u gotta break some eggs to make an omlette

tinaz said:

This probably doesn't apply to me.

my husband reads the org almost everyday. he likes the GD forum most. he laughs at all the funny photo threads, etc. he just never posts anything. he's coming with me to the org invasion this summer in san fran.

OMG i was thinking of you as I wrote it! SWEAR. TO. GOD.

kimrachell said:

to your hubby!
Thats so cool!

tinaz said:

Really?

Actually, at all of the invasions I've been to, I was single.

But since Jersey and I got together, we're a family of six, otherwise known as BROKE!

PunkMistress said:

you forgot -ASS as in "BROKE-ASS"...

can't them kids work yet??

RenHoek said:

BROKE-ASS as shit, and not only can they not work, but the 13 year old is doing her best to stress me the hell out with her drama.

I talk enough about the org to my wife that she has a pretty decent grasp of many orgers' bios, personalities, stories, etc. She always encourages me, in fact, to meet orgers when the chance springs up, but with only one exception I always get spooked and flake out.

Lammastide said:

How adorable, all of that.

I like you and I bet I'd like your wife.

PunkMistress said:

Oh, you'd like me very much... for the first 10 minutes. Then I'd bore the hell out of you.

You'd love my wife, though.

Only my wife really knows about the org, not any friends. She's cool about meeting orgers. Not sure she'd be up for a really big meet-up though.

Lammastide said:

Do you drink?

I'd buy you a beer and literally take you by the shoulders and tell you to snap out of that "I'm boring" shit. Then I'd give you a big hug.

You and I are members of a very exclusive club, don't you know that? The Uber Queers Married Passionately To Members Of The Opposite Sex Club!

(Now you'll definitely flake out on meeting me! )

PunkMistress said:

Sister, I'd never turn down a free beer.

And I guess I hadn't considered that we could start our own club. We should look for other members. (Mostly just so we could make money off their dues and whatnot. )

Lammastide said:

Now you're talking. Fancy a Stella?



It's already too hot here to drink anything heavier.

Lammastide said:

You know what I love about you, Lammastide?

When you call people Sister and Brother, you actually mean it.

And I knew what your username meant when I saw it; I've celebrated Lammas! I have a soul underneath all this hedonism, you know.

Fauxie said:

Travel is one of the only reasons for me to wish for money.



There are so many far-flung people I'd love to meet.

PunkMistress said:

I bet you'd like...



If you want a crisp, refreshing lager.

PunkMistress said:

Same here.

Traveling to new places and meeting new people is far more fun than any new-fangled shit you could buy.

Fauxie said:

Never heard of it, but "crisp, refreshing lager" just made my mouth water, so...

I just went and Googled it, and this is of concern:

"The taste is quite unique: strong, dry and sharp. It seems to have more hops than most other New Zealand beers and, thus, has more of a bitter bite to the finish."

Is it hoppy like an IPA?

PunkMistress said:

What's an IPA? See, I wouldn't describe it the way they have, but what do I know? I drink Singha and people tell me that's strong and 'hoppy' so maybe my frame of reference is all out of whack. I am just going on what I remember of drinking Steinlager in NZ 10 years ago. I drink Guinness and supposedly stronger beers like Singha, but Steinlager is the best lager I've tasted for when I want something just clean and and refreshing. But they're saying strong, dry and sharp.

Am I think of Steinlager Pure? I'm not sure. Now I need to go and find it somewhere here so I can refresh my memory.

i really must introduce ms whistle to the Org, she's far more entertaining than i am.

Fauxie said:

IPA = Indian Pale Ale.

I love Guinness and I like Singha. If I come across Steinlager I will try it. If it sucks, you owe me foa dolla.
