What is your ultimate goal: I would like to teach at some point, because I feel it would be a great contribution to society and young people This is not, however, my lifetime goal I think maybe someday I would like to own my own business or work for the Environmental Protection Agency.

What kind of pressure do you feel about making decisions about your future? Who's putting that pressure on you: My current problem is that I feel no pressure from anyone to go in any direction. As a post-college graduate I am some what lost as to where I want to take my life All know is that I want to make a positive contribution to the world around me and It IS up to me to find my own calling.

What artistic talents do you have:  (Music, Arts, Dance, Performance, Film,/Video Making, Writing, ETC): How skilled are you: I am a very creative person in all ways my imagination is incredible and I often use it I like to play around with drawing and water colors I am also a fairly good creative writer, which began when I was In the eighth grade when I would write weekly stories on my own time and read them to my class when my teacher would let me I also did a lot of writing in French during college.

What about you will make you an interesting roommates: I'm from a small town in the South so I have an interesting background 2. I'm gay 3. I have many different interests, thus I tend to attract and hang around people of all different back grounds and interests. 

How would someone who really knows you describe your traits: I'm very intelligent and Intuitive I see past bullshit that most people exude. I appreciate small things yet aim high in my goals. I love nature I am open-minded and give most people I meet a chance. I'm a good kisser.

What qualities do you seek in mate: Intelligent/Intellectual, outdoorsy, down to earth, non materialistic, cultured, creative, fit, mainly someone who simulates my mind.

How important is sex to you: Do you have it only in a relationship or do you seek it out at other times: How did it came about on the last occasion: I feel that sex is a very important part of a relationship because it's the main thing that sets a lover apart from a friend. Being sexual is a big part of being close to someone you love and is the best way to enjoy that person. I feel that sex should only happen with those you care about, though I have had one-night stands in the past. 

Describe your fantasy date: A sexy guy would take me to his favorite spot outdoors; we would hike to a secluded river or lake; skinny-dipping; and then lay in the sun all day kissing and talking about whatever came to mind.

What are your favorite musical groups/artists: Tori Amos, Garbage, Bjork, most trance, Bob Dylan, the Cure, U2, Madonna and Led Zeppelin.

Describe your typical Friday night: A round of four or five bars and then a last stop at a club for an hour or two of dancing. It really depends on whom I go out with, though. 

Other than a boyfriend or girlfriend, who is the most important person in your life right now: Tell me about her/him: My friend Jen means the most to me because I have the most in common with her. We confide in each other about everything. We spend a lot of time together and help each other through a lot. She's an awesome, sincere girl and we talk about maybe having kids together one day.

What are some ways you have treated someone who has been important to you that you are proud of: I try to do things for my thirteen-year-old little brother because he looks up to me and I try to be a positive role model for him-my parents are pretty busy so I do take camping with me, take him to movies, let him hang out with me and my buds, etc. He loves spending time with me and I love giving him my time.

Describe your Mother: There are two parts of my mom which are easily described, First there is the dedicated hard-worker side that never stop to rest. Then there is the other side of my mom who enjoys the simple things in life such as taking a hike with me or teaching Sunday school class.

Describe your Father: My father is a little more difficult to describe As far as I go, I guess I would say that there IS the part who respects me and what I've done in life and then there is the other part who always argues with me and disagrees with me. It makes staying on good terms with him difficult he's very stubborn. I've learned to overlook this and deal with him in a mature way when he's being stubborn.

If you have any brother or sister, Are you close: How would you describe your relationship with them: I have two younger brothers. I'm pretty close to both of them My brother is very different from me, but we still manage to get along and party together sometimes. He's In boot camp (Marines) right now, so I've been supporting him through letters often. My youngest brother looks and acts exactly like I did when I was his age. He worships me and often emulates me I think he's a very intelligent kid with initiative. 

What is the most important issue or problem facing you today: Choosing to be openly gay is a huge issue In my life. I have tackled this Issue for years and am only now becoming comfortable with it. It is a huge choice in my life to make because It will alter my life's course forever. Coming out to my parents is a huge thing I must tackle at some point soon.

Do you believe in God: are you religious or spiritual: I definitely believe In God and a higher spiritual level but I also believe that organized religion IS bullshit. It takes what is so personal about religion and being spiritual and creates a sociopolitical machine out of it. Tome, religion is a sacred personal belief that does not have to involve going to church in order to be close to God.

What are your thoughts on people who have a different sexual orientation from you:
Straight people are great. Most of my friends are straight.

Do you have any habits we should know about: Nope
What bother you about other people: People who are materialistic and extremely concerned with their image annoy the hell out of me. I wish I could meet more cool down to earth people who aren't this way.

How do you handle conflicts: Do you feel this approach is effective: I often overlooked conflicts and problems until they build up and explode. I know this method is wrong and causes many problems with my friends, so I'm to be more up front with people when things are bothering me.

If you could change any one thing about the way you look, what would that be: I would have more of an ass! Mine's flat.

If you could change any thing about your personality, what would that be: I would be more spontaneous and stop worrying so much of the future. I would really like to live more for the day. 

If you had Aladdin's lamp and three wishes, what would that be: 1.Eternal happiness 2. The love of my life 3. All the wisdom in the world.

On June 19, MTV  aired a special 10-year-anniversary tribute to "The Real World." It will include interviews with past cast members and celebrity fans of the show, (including yours truly), along with special moments from this groundbreaking television experience. In light of the current saturation of reality TV, we forget that "The Real World" was the granddaddy of them all. 

It discussed real issues that much of society only discussed behind closed doors: AIDS, race, gender, class, alcoholism, religion, abortion and most of all, sexuality. Every year, from its inception, "The Real World" had at least one gay, lesbian or bisexual member in the cast.

Hopefully you'll stop by and read this before it scrolls off, but I just noticed that you were posting on the board and I wanted to respond. Yes, you are the guy I was referring to in that interview about a guy who was openly gay in highschool. I'm extremely glad you've found happiness in life and I wish you the best. Moving on from the past is the best. And one more thing Russ, get the story straight...we never held hands...more like, you tried to hold my hand. It was very obvious to me even back then that you wanted more than to be friends and I was not down with that back then. But again, i just want to say how happy I am for you that you've found your place in the world and wish you the best.
Much Love,
Danny

Ok, so the cat's out of the bag. Yes, I did the Challenge even though I said I'd never do it. What brought on my change of mind? For one, Kelley. She spent a good month talking me into it and two, they changed the format this year so finally I agreed. Honestly, I'm very glad I did it because I had an awesome time and did some things I never thought I would do. Not to mention the fact that most people on this year's challenge are incredible and one-of-a-kind. If you want to see more info on this go to mtv.com.

Just wanted to drop a line and tell you that this is a wonderful site. 
I think you, Paul and Danny are doing great things through this site. 
It's nice that you have created a "clean" place were gays, straights or however can come and look around, ask questions, find answers or just sound off....
