Fugitivus Discussion Forum

Hi, I'm Drunkenatheist.

Humorously, I stumbled upon fugitivus.net because I was trying to find out about circumventing Google Buzz. (I had received some unwanted contact from my ex and wanted to find out just how much of my life she could spy on; I actually do use Buzz occasionally to vent in a Twitter-esque format that's a little more locked down.) I kept coming back because I needed a breather, I needed to come back to my feminist roots, I needed to re-eradicate some of the internalized misogyny I had re-developed during that relationship*, and I desperately needed a place where abuse was openly discussed.

I'm here because the various depression and relationship boards I've read online are just outright crap; there's way too much veiled (or outright) sexism, and most of the places do a terrible job with LGBT issues. I need to really sift through some of my issues in a less 101 oriented forum, and really the ways my relationship with my ex-girlfriend and her (formerly my) social circle has impacted my relationship with my current boyfriend.

Oh yeah, and I like puppies, cross-stitch, video games, and rainbow colored hair.

*Funny, when I came across Harriet's post about misogyny coming out during her own abusive relationship, I totally had a lightbulb moment and started to recognize that pattern in myself. Makes it a lot easier to fix and tackle when you've got a hair of insight.

Hi Drunkenatheist! Welcome to the board. I, too like cross stitch!

Hi, Drunkenathiest. I hope the boards are the place you need. Please keep the CoC in mind while posting.

Hi, Drunkenatheist! I'm Hex. Welcome to the forums. I hope you'll like it here.

How do you feel about nicknames?

Welcome, drunkenatheist! I am glad this board seems to fit your needs. And, if you want to post any pics of puppies or rainbow colored hair, I'd be up for that, too!

Hello, welcome! Hope to talk to you some more elsewhere in the forum.
