I think it would be interesting...

To have a story or a novel or something about the people on Oasis.

Each chapter would be a different chapter or journal of one person's life.

But the chapters would be short.
And in journal form!

It'd be cool to have a book about real LGBT teens going through regular life, you know?

-----------------------------------------------------

I went to the GSA meeting tonight. I don't know if I keep imagining it, but J kept.. idk.. looking at me or maybe it was Holly. I don't know.
GOD I AM ATTRACTED TO HER.

I'm still with B. Though things are different... I'm not all... "Babe... lovey dovey coo coo coo" shit.
And I think she realizes that, but doesn't want to let go.
I'm going to let her go on her own terms.

I also had a meeting today with the career counselor, who REALLLLLLY gave me a lot of insight today.
I'm applying for a job which I think I have a pretty good chance at getting.
I think I might know what I want to major in! Yay me! lol

Other than that... nothing much has gone on in the past week. How sad.

I slept nearly all day saturday because of a migraine.. and feeling sick. =/
Yay for sleepy halloweens. ^.^

Anyways..

I'mma go drool over J now, since she's ALL I CAN THINK ABOUT TONIGHT.
Damn it.
Oh, and do my 10 page portfolio.
Joy.

<3
Peace and loves,
Moi.

Unless someone gets their ass off the couch and starts, it ain't gonna happen.

This means NOW, people.

YAY!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm pretty

YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm pretty sure this will be epic.
And it'll all be documented, unless something happens to the site.

GASP!
That thought makes me sad..

Anyways, I would LOVE all the help I could get. Anyone who wants to be part of it would be welcome.. I don't want to have to make anyone up. ^.^

Jeez...

Sorry, I have like a job, then I worked out, then went shopping, etc.

What do you need from me, exactly?

Honestly, getting people to agree there should be a project on here is easy. Getting people to sign up to do a project on here is easy. Every step after that? That's where it tends to break down. ;-)

Nothing's going to happen to the site, well... if my job goes into 2010, a lot will happen to the site, but it will still be here.

Yay! No, I was just

Yay!

No, I was just wondering if there would happen to be any sort of infringements on people's rights here.. copyrights, etc.

[[Love means you can never be apart... <3]]

jeff's picture

Nah...

We sort of play a bit fast and loose with that stuff here. Plus, everyone would sign off on it anyway, which is fine.

If you actually published it, it might be more involved.

l.enigma_ambulante's picture

Ahh... well, that would

Ahh... well, that would PROBABLY be my ultimate goal lol. I really think it might help out other kids out there who don't know about oasis and how good the help here is. I mean, if I had a book like that, something that wouldn't tip my parents off on it being about lgbt youth, i would have definitely read it..
Of course, the names of the users and the site would be changed if it were to be published, and I could always take the parts out that people wouldn't want published.
Who knows.
[[Love means you can never be apart... <3]]

jeff's picture

Hmm...

I think youth are more likely to find a website than a gay book that doesn't tip people off that it's gay. ;-)

Once we relaunch in 2010, there will be more people on here.

Shush! I'm still thinking.

=o Oh boy. ^.^ I'm excited. haha

Personally...

I always thought there should be an Oasis podcast, where we could have a different co-host every week and such.

Of course, that assumes someone could be the host.

I had a lot of good ideas for this, but all required far too much of my time than is available.

Yeah!

Yeah! That would be amazing! I always though it'd be cool to do a podcast, but I have no idea how to make one. I'd be interested in doing a podcast with you if you want. =) And I'd like to help with the book project to! PM me if you want to talk ideas!

l.enigma_ambulante's picture

Yay! I'll create a forum

Yay! I'll create a forum tonight becuase I have class in 45 minutes and I still need to get dressed. >.<

[[Love means you can never be apart... <3]]

Oh...

So you like being naked when you're on Oasis?

GLM...

was Pat's big Oasis youth share their stories project, remember.

A lot of interest, some responses, but not enough people following through, so it died on the vine:

http://www.oasisjournals.com/forum/539

LMK if that doesn't work. Pat may have turned it off, and I may just see it cuz I have high access, etc.

l.enigma_ambulante's picture

Well, I was thinking more

Well, I was thinking more along the lines of getting people to create journal entries or using existing ones in a form of a story... I think it'd be cool to have it following like.. five or six people going through different stages in their lives and different processes in their gender identity and sexuality.

[[Love means you can never be apart... <3]]

I should...

Find all of my old WantsOut posts...
