Actually, no, I think this is more my cup o' tea. The more I think about it (and my husband reminds me), I am most like Ennis. Jack is who I want to be like, but Ennis is who I really am.
I am sooo like Ennis in that I can make it on a couple of high-altitude fucks a year. My imagination is all I truly need to keep myself warm at night. Spent way too much of my childhood only being truly alive in my own inner world, I'm afraid.
Brown Eyes:
I definitely relate/ identify with some aspects of Ennis... I'm most certainly a loner. I increasingly like to be on my own and "independent." I certainly don't think I'm burdened with as much "internalized homophobia" as Ennis. But, I realize that I can be probably *too* cautious and circumspect about how and when I come out to people. And, I've definitely had a hard time expressing myself to ex-girlfriends in the same way I see Ennis struggling to express his feelings to Jack. I think this is why I'm such a Jack fan, I would love to be as self-assured and self-aware as Jack is, but again, I know that I'm more like Ennis in lots of ways. In lots of ways I think Jack is braver than I am.
::) :-\
By the way, this doesn't seem so "light" as in the "lighter side of the mountain." But, it's a good topic. Thanks Roland.

This is the point I've tried to put across to Phillip from the beginning. My threads have more in common with each other, and less to do with games. Even the retitling to Lighter Side... still suffers from a subtitle that doesn't at all reflect the essence of these threads. As a matter of fact (figure of speach, of course) your new(?) thread dealing with "loveable subtle details" is more kin to these threads than the more popular threads on this forum. Anyways, as Phillip suggested in a PM, i think, this whole experiment in cyberspace is barely 3 months old and still trying to adjust to the new and ever changing realities of it's clientel. The members roster has increased by nearly 50% since I made the move here some 4 weeks ago. (there were 181 members then!) I believe the thread "Notice: Construction Season" is still a worthy place to posts one's thoughts on this subject, SO WHY am I going on & on here? ??? - silly me ::)

I am soooo like Ennis in that I tend to protect myself becuase I fear getting hurt and that if anyone ever knew the real me they wouldn't like me anymore. ::)
YaadPyar:
I am so like Ennis that I can't think and feel at the same time. Thinking and talking. Or feeling. But emotions and words don't connect well for me. The things I feel most deeply are unutterable.
