'My Corduroyed Life' - Mark A's Journal
I hate being lied to.
I found out recently that a couple of guys from one of my online RPGs had been lying about their age. I was rather annoyed. When I posted on the boards for the game, I bit my tongue a little. I'm not going to here (and I will be commiting a cut and paste crime by putting what I wrote there down below).
First of all, one of them (Dave) lied about more stuff than the other (Sean). So I'm particularly annoyed with him, and I feel I have the right to be such. The guy basically created a whole different person to 'be' when talking to me; at least the Sean just fibbed a bit saying he was 18 when he was 15. Other than that, he didn't actually take me up the garden path like Dave did, and get me to talk about REALLY personal stuff, that had I known how old he was, I wouldn't have discussed with him. I'm still unsure as to whether or not Iwas beign laughed at the whole time.
Right now, I do not really want to talk to Dave, but have no problem whatsoever with Sean.

What I Wrote On The Boards:
Now, I aint got a problem with hiding the truth: we all know I do that. However, were my parents to ask me to my face: "Are you gay", I'd say yes. Similarly, if asked my age, I'd say 24, not the age I want to be, or if asked "What's your profession", I'd say clerical officer, not Fireman.
As for my opinion on it all, well it *has* kinda made me a little uneasy. I guess that kinda says something about me as well as Dave and Sean. I've told them both stuff and discussed stuff with them that I don't know whether I would have done having known their real ages. Dave a *lot* more than Sean. Stuff that even if they're mature enough to understand and/ or talk about, I'm not sure I would have talked to them about anyway.
I trust people, maybe I'm naive, but I'm always honest with people and I guess I assume they'll give me the same courtesy back. I applaud both Dave and Sean for 'coming out' (believe me, I know what it's like to finally get something off your chest): it was a brave thing to do. I'm sure it goes without saying that you're forgiven by everyone, but I won't lie: I felt a little betrayed.

A new Graduate Gateway course started today (basically, for those who don't know, I work for a sub-team of Salford Uni Careers Service, and we provide a training course for unemployed graduates). Already, I am in love with one of the graduates, and want him to be mine. So unprofessional.
Why do I always fancy straight boys?

I am fuming right now, and I can't be arsed to type why. I just want to hit the keyboard lots in the hope that alleviates some anger.
