Congratulations Maisie, you made it to the real world unscathed!! YAY!!!

Ok so I just got finished watching that god awful movie from 1987 Flowers in the Attic. It's my 5th time watching it, and while it is complete and total rubbish I just can't help myself...I have to see it every time it's on TV. It's a sickness for me.

I spoke to my cousin yesterday and he's flying down from Philly to NC to visit me. Now I have a dilemma and would like some of your input. I love him to death and he's practically my little brother. In the past I think he's hinted at the fact that I might be gay but he's never spoken those exact words. I'd like to think that he would take the news fairly well, but then again I've been wrong before so I'm really apprehensive to come out to him, at least right now. By nature he's a quiet guy and I don't think he'd "rat" me out, but I know everyone can have those occasional slip-ups without even realizing what they've said in mixed company. So what do you guys think, to Come Out or Not to Come Out???

I think you should ultimately use your own judgement at the time you might tell him. If something is telling you not to, then don't, but if it feels right, do it! I had a great experience "coming out" (I dunno, I don't like that phrase lol) but I know its different for everyone and some people have negative backlashes, but do what feels right at the time! I think that's the only way to go :) good luck!

Maisie- Congrats girl!!

Piano- Yum, those cookies sound great. I hope your brother's gf is okay.

Tofu- I agree with Piano and also think you should just go with the flow of the visit. If an opportunity arises and you feel comfortable, go for it. If you have a gut feeling that this isn't the right time, don't force it.

Thanks Piano & L!!! I think I'll feel him out first, maybe make a reference to The L Word or Queer as Folk and see how he reacts LOL. The only thing is since he was little I always thought that he was gay, so I've been hoping that he would just come out to me and we'd go from there.

That would be much easier right! Then you'd have someone to lean on when dealing with the fam!

Ohhh Tofu, the girl I was telling you about, her family is also not so down with her "lifestyle". It's one of those things where they sort of have to know, but nobody talks about it. That's no fun! She's with them right now and having no fun at all. BUT- I'm excited, because she's emailing and talking to me. I was sort of afraid after I told her how I feel (even if it was by text cause I'm a big chicken ****) that she'd freak and never wanna talk to me again. A lot of guys are that way and since that's what I have experience with, I just didn't know. But I'm stoked cause we're still cool! YAY!

I cried last night when I realized that when I move to college, Im not going to be here for my little sister. She's lived right accross the hall her entire life, I think leaving her is going to be hard.

Oh no... now I'm tearing up... my little sis and I are best friends, and we've shared a tiny room since we were babies. I can't even imagine waking up without her top bunk over my head... That sounds like a really fun party, you had though.

I think I did better on my SATs than last time... I'll cross my fingers. I wrote my essay about Les Miserables! (The book, not the moosical.)

Tofu, I'll echo with what everyone else has said. Just go with the flow and do what feels right.

Posted: 6/6/09 at 3:35pm

Whoa L, hold the bloody phone!!!! So you're talking to this girl?! Like "Talking Talking" or just talking? It's great that she's not freaked or anything, although gay chicks generally don't freak out about another girl liking them sooo...

And yes it does suck that her family's not that supportive of her. It's the elephant in the room that they'd much rather ignore than acknowledge no matter how much it may hurt her. I'm still not ready for me to be that elephant in my immediate family. Some of my extended family perhaps wouldn't have a huge problem with it but it's still risky for me.

Yeah, Tofu.... I agree with everyone else. Go with the flow!

I was cleaning out my gmail inbox today and I came across the email from January when my best boy came out to me.... It was strange rereading it. Even stranger is the fact that we haven't talked about it since. I fear that bringing it up will be weird for him, but I also don't want it to be that elephant in the room! Luscious, reading your post made me wonder if I am hurting him by not bringing it up....

Morning all! Wow I missed a lot!

Good morning, ladies!
Did everyone watch the Tonys? I'm still smiling over N2N winning best score! I just saw Brett Michaels hit his head this morning on the news. How did I miss that last night?

Clever, I watched bits and pieces of it. I'm glad N2N won best score too though And I can't believe you missed the Brett Michael's thing! Priceless. I was dying.

Have fun Maisie!

I just love Neil Patrick Harris. Honestly.

Last night just deepened my Neil Patrick Harris crush. He's freakin hysterical!!!

Tofu- We're not "talking wink wink nudge nudge" just emailing as friends. I don't know if I actually finished the story, but I tried to admit to her this little crush and just chickened out every time. So I sent her text and told her everything that way. I told her that after we'd said a permanent goodbye. She moved to Washington state for a couple months and then she's on to Iraq for a year.
