Life I think I'm probably about to up the bar again - Page 25

Well, I suspect this is going to be a trip. Because the following is going to be exceptionally long and putting it in the thread starter would be downright criminal once this reaches multiple pages (and trust me, it will), please brace for impact. You really need to brace for impact.

DISCLAIMER FROM FUTURE PSI/UP: DON'T READ THIS MOPEY GARBAGE. IT WAS JUST ME ADMITTING THAT I'M TRANS IN AN OVERLY DRAMATIC FASHION. THINGS ARE QUANTIFIABLY MORE AWESOME FOR ME NOW THAN THEY WERE FOUR YEARS AGO, THE END.

Hey, since we're all telling things about ourselves, guess what? I'm, actually foreign (I think I've mentioned this before on some thread, but not with as much detail). I moved here in the summer of 1998, I was thirteen and just had finished 7th grade. I grew up in western Ukraine (which means I dislike Poles and Russians - not on a personal level, just overall), in a city of almost a million, called Lviv. My parents won a green card and both got jobs at KU Medical Center, so we upped and left.

If you thought moving to a new school was hard, imagine going to the first day of class to a COMPLETELY new environment, not understanding WTF people are saying (don't know where to go, can't really ask, having a piece of shit map showing which rooms are where wasn't that much help). Well, I did know some English, but still couldn't understand 90% of what people were saying. I still remember like it was yesterday walking into my first gym class not knowing WTF was going on. Good times.

Anyway, I was a huge sports fan back in my country (mostly soccer, obviously) so needless to say I fell in love with the Chiefs when I saw the first game in September of 1998 (KC absolutely raped Raiders, don't remember the score). Took me, probably, 1 game to figure out the basic rules, and a few more to figure out the details. By the end of the season, I started seeing the intricate things that make football such a great sport. The one thing that truly made it amazing for me (and really was a first in sports in my experience) was how a lot of the games came down to the last seconds - "****ing incredible" was what I was thinking.

So that's my story. And if you ever wondered why some sentences of mine make no sense stylistically - now you know.

That's weird. I was referring to the just-eliminated Anthony Fedorov of American Idol.

Do you like borscht, Metrolike?

fuck yeah.

Fedorov is a Russian last name, so that makes him a double douche.

Your name is Anthony Fedofuck?

Didn't think of that when I put the stars there. That's good, hahahaha.

I don't know, but the King in the Burger King commercials just stared down Darth Vader and won. What a badass. And people made fun of me for that avatar... Darth's lip was quivering at the thought that the King was about to put a beatdown on him. Greatest commercial ever.

Ultra Peanut · 05-15-2005, 01:15 AM

By the way...

You've certainly lived here long enough by now to realize that the vast majority of Americans-by-birth can't speak (much less write) English for shit, right?

The King would make me wet my pants if I weren't completely paralyzed by fear when I saw him or thought of him.

Heh, that brings back a memory of my roommate asking me how to spell "sense" last year.

Taco John · 05-15-2005, 01:22 AM

I poured my heart out about my hair. I hate you all!

Taco John · 05-15-2005, 01:25 AM

Sorry, I'm just a little emotional right now. This is all happening so fast. One minute, I'm trying to determine if Psicosis is being serious or not, the next I feel compelled to tell my story about hunting down an older gay man.

So what was up with your first base coach anyway?
