The Panhandle, the islands or the interior?

The first 10-years of my life were spent in Masset, the Queen Charlotte Islands (my birth having been registered there, although I was born on a China Airways turboprop aircraft at 30,000 feet over the Pacific a little over midway between Shanghai and Vancouver), this being my father's temporary exiled home de jour.

Your profile indicates you are located in Alaska, is all.

I was (and am) simply trying to be friendly. Shared something of myself hoping that you would realize that I might have some understanding of the isolation that you may be feeling.

... that gather here; and, have for some time made it a policy to not interact with anyone under the age of 21 in this Forum.

I made an exception in your case because, whether I like it or not, I have been and walked in your shoes; I, 50 years distant, still vividly recall the isolation and loneliness of frontier living, especially above the Arctic circle; and, as there is little likelihood of my ever being accused of stalking you (although I, for a certainty, DO RESIDE some 5000 or more km further east on the same continent) I felt it beholden upon myself to try and let you open up about yourself, and hopefully, have you share with all of us here the daemons that beset you.

Perhaps I am mistaken.

Jordan,

I see a sexual orgy of seismic proportions, once you are free of your "shithole" of a town. Since you are out, perhaps you should explain to your parents that it is better to "slip the fault" gradually (get some nookey), rather than have another Anchorage disaster akin to what happened there back in the 60s.

Actually Jordan doesn't reside in Alaska. I guess he just didn't bother to set his timezone correctly for the board. He's in the Eastern part of the U.S.

Confiding with the parents doesn't happen a lot. He lives with his Dad who's somewhat of a homophobe. And his little, redneck town doesn't show much promise for nooky gathering... lol.

Alright, so an error in his profile was made ... no biggie!

A request for further details yields a reply; but, only that an error was made; the details of his situation come from another source altogether, never from Jordan himself.

That smells, and frankly it's largely why I usually won't respond to young persons posting here.

If he simply wanted people to IM him so he could hold a dialogue off-board because he was lonely, he should have stated that.

HE COULD HAVE REALLY BEEN IN CRISIS; how otherwise are we to know?

I'm getting too old for this.

my breakdowns as I have them occur randomly and usually late at night good Warren... hence no one is online and no one is here to help me, most people i know privately here off the board and on aim/msn and what not they know my story they know my pains...

Fair enough son; but, you must remember that late-at-night in your time-zone, is not necessarily late-at-night in someone else's; nor, are you ever alone here; someone is always monitoring the Forum, whether they be a long-time regular such as myself, or one of the many nameless, and unidentified, who lurk in the shadows; and trust me when I tell you, if you had been truly been in crisis, and needed help, and had you stated this very clearly in your post, one of us, from somewhere in the world, would have answered, and likely as not it just might have been one of those many nameless who comes forward, identifies themselves for the very first time, to provide that aid.

It's why so many of us old-timers are still here.

Our first contact here at the Forum may well have been our own discovery of self, or the healing from present or past trauma; or, in my case Timmy's "Chris & Nigel" serial; and to a very large degree in it's earliest incarnation, the camaraderie and sense of fun manifested through our interactions; but, the Forum's true purpose, and its' necessity, is never very far below the surface in the mind of any of us.

I'm not too versed in helping out with a keyboard but better at the listening and visualizing wuth people (it's my job at school). But I hug you and hope it's felt across the wires.

His call may not have been as clear to you as it was to others. This wasn't a post asking for advice but simply one reaching out for comfort to people who know him. And since there are number of us here who know him and his situation, it worked. He received his responses, they just didn't take place on the forum.

Jordan is aware that there are usually people he knows (and who know him) reading the board at all different hours. That's why he posted. Yes, the post wasn't clear and concise, but sometimes people in emotional distress don't post or even respond to posts in a clear and concise manner. I'm sorry it left you confused. (The mixup on his timezone didn't help either.)

But please, let's don't go setting rules for how a distress call should be adequately and properly written, otherwise we are likely to get few of them. No one feels you responded wrongly and so you really have no reason to be defensive about this.

It's nice to see you OLD timers here Warren but it would also be nice if you surfaced occasionally to let us YOUNG kids know you are ok?
I have been missing you for a time and have been concerned but no correspondence from you? Smile

My hug, albeit late, is on it's way to you Jordan, loneliness is a pain and I have been in it once or twice. Hugs are good things in that you can write down who you get one from then look at the list when you feel less than happy? It helps me sometimes. Smile

... from time to time, generally speaking in one or two of the old haunts; specifically Yahoo! Pager; unfortunately, I seldom find anyone there that I sincerely wish to speak with.

As for your own Domain, I've mentioned before that both my "UserName" and "Password" were cancelled when you migrated from your old server to the new one. I mentioned this in my last conversation with you, and have additionally mentioned it to Henry in the one and only one e-Mail he and I have exchanged recently.

Visiting as a Guest simply doesn't cut it.

Send me an e-Mail to my private address and I'll reply with my preferred style so that you can re-enable the account if that is your desire. Do you still have the animated avatar you created for me?

Hope all is well with you, your family.
