shitty first draft post (1/27/09)

Ok, shitty first draft, here I come. I have started my paper but have only written about what I know/expect the group to be like. I have not yet conducted any interview(s) but have gone to one Spectrum meeting. I plan to interview the president of the organization not only because I feel that he will be the most knowledgeable about it but also because he lives in my dorm on the floor above me (so I won’t have to walk out in the freezing cold and more than I have to). I’m not exactly sure what I was expecting from the meetings but when I went it was less of an informational session and more of a fun place for the people in the subculture to go on Thursdays. It was interesting because even though I was “the new kid” I felt free to ask questions and talk about any topic I wanted. There were, of course, guided decisions and the topic of the night was safe sex. Although I do not have homosexual tendencies, I felt welcomed to participate in games and things and not have to just sit and observe in a corner.
