i luv haley 2. a pity you didn't have your wits about you when the prison guard called you a freak. "look who's talkin'" would be an apt retort. or "takes one to know one". perhaps you were cowed. it's an intimidating experience being incarcerateed for the first time. are they allowed to address prisoners like that? it's unprofessional conduct; - tho', i guess, filing a complaint is tricky when one's still an inmate unless one has powerful and vigilant friends outside who can ensure that retributive measures are not taken. is it too late now to write to members of congress, dept. of corrections etc? move to britain. sex offenders usually go to dedicated vulnerable prisoners units. there's one at albamy prison on the isle of wight where an aquaintance went for an enforced vacation and he says it was like an upmarket college campus - there were so many ex-teachers and clerics that the atmosphere was jolly and intellectual. he says most of the prison staff he encountred were amenable but i'm not sure that's true of the brit penal system as a whole. BTW. i've had my own haleyesque adventure. i queued up in the cold for three hours to see haley at the premire of AI. the teen girls and boys who were waiting must have been perplexed by my presence but when haley emerged from his limousine accompanied by an entourage i was at the front of the seething mob - trying to catch haley's eyes, waving and gesturing, foolishly hoping - what a pathetic fantasy - for a kiss. i managed to touch the hem of his garment as he strolled past. security personnel were much in evidence so the erotic horseplay i had in mind was not a viable proposition. that boy is soooo cool. i subsequently joined the allboyslove haley joel osment fan site but when i tendered my first post, the moderator deleted it on grounds of taste and decency. i can't imagine why. is it a crime to present a cinematographical critique with the urgent headline: "rubadubdub - haley in the tub!"? i realise this is a heterodox suggestion to make on a proselytizing christian board - but maybe you should build more social connections outside the faith community. you seem very narrowly focused on establishing your equilibrium in a christan context. wouldn't it be healthier to diversify? if i were in your shoes and i wanted to be happy practising my christian faith - here's what i would do: identify someone fairly high up in the church hierachy who has a positive record in regard to gays and other ^outcasts^. someone like bishop jack spong in new york. explain your predicament and i'm sure he (or she) would be able to recommend christian places of worship where you'd be welcomed. good luck. |
