Okay, don't get weird about this but

I'm kinda helping with this thing. It's, like, because it's Pride and prom season, and a lot of gay teens don't feel comfortable going to prom with a gay date. Or being out or whatever.

So, I am like on the committee for this Pride party in the city, because this guy I know asked me. Only now he's AWOL, and basically, we need chaperones, just in case. So can anyone help?

(I know I basically got tricked into ending up on a prom committee, so just shut up.)

You might think that the sound you hear is me laughing at you, but that's only because that's what it is.

Look I thought he'd be really good in bed.

[xp-erverse.livejournal.com]

What exactly were your criteria for determining that?

[x-velocidad.livejournal.com]

He had a certain swagger. Doesn't matter.

[x-daredevil.livejournal.com]

I can chaperone. Absolutely.

[x-velocidad.livejournal.com]

Awesome. Thanks.

[x-wildchild.livejournal.com]

I'd offer but - probably not what you're looking for, huh?

[x-velocidad.livejournal.com]

What do you mean?

[x-wildchild.livejournal.com]

Dude I -barely- count as bi and I'm not sure I count as like, a responsible adult anymore.

[x-daredevil.livejournal.com]

what's sexuality got to do with it?

[x-wildchild.livejournal.com]

LGBTQA kids don't have enough adult role models as it is, and I feel like - like - unless there's not enough volunteers, butting in when I'm basically Straight McStraighterson on the surface isn't cool?

I dunno I probably should've just not commented but then I was worried maybe Gabe wouldn't have enough people and I don't even know.

Maybe I have a different perspective since I was raised in an LGBTQ household, but I'm straight and I see no problem with chaperoning. Allies are important too, knowing that there are people who are accepting is also important for some kids. And as a chaperone, your job is to let them enjoy the night safely, which can involve being there with your partner, but doesn't require it.

dude I don't know you well enough to care about your sex life, and the whole point of shit like this is that it's not important

what does "barely" mean

[x-wildchild.livejournal.com]

Means I dated one dude once for a while and mostly date girls.

idk I was just uncertain or some shit lets forget I said anything.

[x-velocidad.livejournal.com]

dude whatever you do you

i mean you seem cool so

[x-deadpool.livejournal.com]

Gimme the dates, I might be able to help out, assuming I'm in the state.

[x-velocidad.livejournal.com]

Looking for good influences.

[x-deadpool.livejournal.com]

I think I'm insulted.

[x-velocidad.livejournal.com]

Yeah

[x-deadpool.livejournal.com]

I mean, okay.

[x-velocidad.livejournal.com]

You remember what happened 2 weeks ago.

[x-deadpool.livejournal.com]

That wasn't my fault!

[x-velocidad.livejournal.com]

Wade.

[x-deadpool.livejournal.com]

Dude, it wasn't. I defended myself, I didn't instigate.

[x-velocidad.livejournal.com]

Not putting you near a bunch of confused teenagers.

[x-deadpool.livejournal.com]

Then don't put out an open call for potential chaperons on the journals.

[x-velocidad.livejournal.com]

You're not being fun tonight. :\

[x-deadpool.livejournal.com]

You do you, dude.

[x-bevatron.livejournal.com]

Certainment I would be willing to assist.

[x-velocidad.livejournal.com]

Oh, uh. Thanks. Merci?

[xp-shadowcat.livejournal.com]

Sooooooo...what exactly does chaperoning involve?

[x-velocidad.livejournal.com]

Make sure nobody kills the kids. Make sure the kids don't fuck each other.

Pretty simple.

[xp-shadowcat.livejournal.com]

Kind of depends on the kids.

I'll do it if you still need help.

[x-velocidad.livejournal.com]

I'll take good help where I can get it. Don't do anything that would shame me.

[xp-domino.livejournal.com]

Hey I just saw this and you don't really know me but if you need help, I'm pretty good at knowing all the shit kids can get up to.

[x-velocidad.livejournal.com]

I mean, I don't know you.

But I need help. People are canceling. So, you're hired.
