Which character would you best get along with?
« on: March 31, 2006, 12:16:11 am »
If you lived in the reality of Brokeback Mountain, which character do you feel you would get along with best?  To put it simply, if one of the characters was going to be your best friend, who would it be?

And if you would like to explain why... do so below... (just trying out this cool poll feature)

Definitely Jack. Ennis is too noncommunicative for me.

I didn't hesitate to vote for Jack because he'd be so much fun to pal around with.

But, tell you what, the truth is, I think Ennis would be steady and dependable in a crisis, and I like and admire that in a person.

For purely platonic friendship, Jack. Well, I don't mean it would HAVE to be platonic. I just mean, if that's what you're asking about he'd be my first choice -- he is fun, nice, easy to get along with.

I chose Jack because he seems to be one who would make friends easily and if he were a real human and I knew him as a single man, and he were to be in love with me like he was with Ennis, I think that I could help him run a cow and calf operation.

Oh, I have known a guy like Ennis and yet he would not admit that he was in love with me. Some people who knew us both when he was living with me were amused when he told them in a group where he was my guest, "I am not gay!"

A guy who publicly declares that he is exclusively heterosexual and not even bisexual, yet wants to sleep in the very same twin-sized daybed with an openly gay man who is in love with him, is definitely in denial.

Kaland did not have to sleep in my bed; there was a pop-up trundle bed he could pull out and sleep on. But, the only time he would get a good night's sleep when he was living with me was when he was snuggled up to me in bed.

After we had moved to another apartment, we had a double bed in the master bedroom. I have to sleep with a body pillow for spinal alignment when I sleep on my side (with or without a bedmate). I decided to put the body pillow back under the cover below my regular pillow when I got up for the day. A little while later, I went back into the room to do something. Kaland was lying on his stomach with his head on my pillow, and the body pillow was on his back and it was as if I had placed it there squarely on his back and legs.

The pack horses...the don't talk back and you can lead them around by the nose.

Unlike boyfriends and drinking buddies....
Take it like a man - steady and strong, not a lot of fuss and carring on.  True to a promise, I can ride in any storm.  So bend over and take it like a man...Too much of a good thing is a good thing.

OK, I can stretch my mind to imagine potentially being friends with just about anyone on that list: Jack, Ennis, Alma, Cassie, Randall, Lureen, even LaShawn. But I'd be interested to hear some elaboration from whoever voted for Jimbo!

Oh, in the movie story line, both Lureen and Cassie were the guy chasers.

In my closeted days, I have had women in my life who were like them in a way and they showed interest in me first.

Yes, women did drag me out onto a dance floor but it was at some other social function and not in a bar.

I have met guys like Randall who were interested in me after I left the closet and there is no way that I would be interested.

I picked Jack. He's so fun-loving, open and caring.
