Doesn't seem too forward or anything?

Doesn't seem too forward to me, at least judging from how things have gone for you so far.

Something small. You don't want to scare her away or raise the bar too high.

What Drag said.

Tomorrow is Valentine's Day and I can't do anything with my girlfriend. Because I live in a homeless shelter and have zero privacy, and don't have the money to rent a hotel room for the day. And the shelter treats people living there like children, so there's no way we can do anything. At all.

This sucks. =|

[Haruka_Kitten]

Small box of chocolates?

[synaesthetic]

With the money I don't have, yeah...

I want to have sex with her, because it hasn't been able to happen due to logistical concerns. This is annoying me tremendously.

Shit I wish I had more friends here, at least then maybe someone would be able to loan us a guest room for a few hours. ><

Just in case if anyone didn't realise, cat-ear hairbands make good V-day gifts, coupled with the excuse of "I want to see how cute you look in that."

Of course, this suggestion is packaged with a disclaimer : the author of this post is not responsible for any heart failures. Thank you.

Doesn't she have a place to invite you to?

I need one of those. Name a shop that would normally sell them

Sorry but...how do you use a computer if you live in a homeless shelter?

You can always steal someone's credit card and use it to get a room at a cheap motel where they only care about getting paid.



Seriously, don't steal a credit card though, that's not cool.

Snap! How'd you end up in there? If I lived near Berkeley I might, but I'm like tens of thousands of miles away, and don't have a guest room anyway. What about her place?

She's there, too. We're casualties of the shitty economy. We're not the only ones, either. There's at least four other couples and two of them are married, and we can barely even look at our partners lovingly without the staff members flipping out about inappropriate behavior. =|

When I got evicted from my apartment, I only lost most of my stuff, but not all. I still have an older Asus netbook which I use at various free wifi hotspots.

Well, you are with other people and should act respectfully. Although you don't have to worry about getting knocked up accidentally and adding a new resident to the shelter.

That's rough. I can't and won't begin to imagine or understand any of that. I'm living at home and if I ever get evicted, I'd have my parents, grandparents, aunts, and cousins offer me a place to stay.

Well it'd be kind of hard for that to happen in the first place since we're both girls. >.>;

Yeah, exactly. Hence the joke.

Ah, that's quite bad. As far as wishing you all the best, there isn't much I can do

[Animelover#1]

this is the part where i'd like to smack the world leaders in the face. I've read a book on homelessness. If you don't have a home address it's extremely difficult to get a job.

Syn, Do either you or your partner have any friends or relatives you can borrow a room from untill you can get a job?

I can't speak for her partner, but Syn and her family aren't on the best of terms.

Sounds really bad. Really makes me upset knowing this is happening.

Ebay. Of course! You can get them too at any cosplay shop, but I am not sure about J-list if you are interested.

Her parents already did the job of raising her. How she lives the rest of her life, and who she chooses to be with, is entirely up to her. Though the rest of the society should have that minimal intelligence to comprehend the abovementioned fact.

I am a person who supports the rights of same-sex relationship (F-F only) for "whimsical" reasons (I find yuri cute and beautiful, and yaoi downright disgusting), so I won't preach about the natural place of XY-XX bonds in continuity of whatever shit human race reasons. I never had a love relationship with a girl IRL before, but I do know the pragmatic side of its sustainability still boils down to money, which means, a stable job.

No offense Syn, but if you change your outlook about the world abit, your life might change for the better. The next job you find, do it with a positive attitude, for a start. It is because if there are people like Drago who don't reel their head in disgust at your sexuality, and yet are still able to crack jokes about it, it goes to show that the world is not as screwed up as you think it to be.

P.S I have family issues too. I know how is it like to be branded the black sheep of the family. Baa~.
