there's some good stuff here (and it's bringing back some strong memories)
as for the group thing - you're right - you've got to make your own community - sure i still go out to the g/i clubs - because i like the music... and a lot of my friends also go (or did at some point), but that's one of many things we have in common; maybe i'm lucky in some ways in that i'm good at reading people and once i start talking to someone friendship comes easily and rarely does that give me drama (occasionally we all make mistakes, but by and large...)
anyway, point being - i figured out a long time ago that pre-determined sterotypes don't mean shit, not all freaks are good people, and you can't change the world... all you can do is make the best choices for yourself and your own happiness, trust your judgement, and make the corner of the world you occupy someplace you're proud to be
