Day 4 and Other Stuff.

[snogged]

Besides coming out to Sarah, I think the first person I came out to was my friend Nicholas W. I don't really remember all the details of it, but I believe it was during study hall while we were chilling in the library. I chose him because he'd been apart of my life since the 2nd grade and I knew he wouldn't judge me for it because he'd already come out of closet as a gay man. He was very understanding and very supportive. Definitely something I appreciated.


Day 5 - Thoughts regarding inner turmoil about your sexuality; Did you have any? Did it escalate to self-injury or suicidal thoughts?
Day 6 - Did you face any problems regarding religion?
Day 7 - How your parents took it or how you think they might take it
Day 8 - What do you think the closet or being closeted means to you?
Day 9 - What do you think about LGBT Pride? Is it helpful or hurtful? Encouraged or unnecessary?
Day 10 - What does marriage mean to you?
Day 11 - Your favorite LGBT book (or one you’d like to read)
Day 12 - Your favorite LGTB movie (or one you’d like to see)
Day 13 - Your favorite LGBT role model/celebrity
Day 14 - Your favorite LGBT song or artist
Day 15 - Your favorite LGBT quote
Day 16 - A picture from your first LGBT relationship or of your first LGBT crush
Day 17 - Your first experience with an LGBT organization or event (Day of Silence, Pride, etc)
Day 18 - Something about the LGBTQ community you don’t understand or have a question about
Day 19 - Butch or Femme?
Day 20 - Maureen or Joanne? (Or your favorite LGBTQ show or queer-positive show)
Day 21 - Political LGBT issue that is closest to you or affects you most
Day 22 - An LGBT image that makes you smile
Day 23 - An LGBT image that makes you cry or makes you angry
Day 24 - The stupidest argument/comment you’ve heard about gay people or an LGBT issue
Day 25 - The LGBT slur you hate most or if you’ve taken back a slur and used it as a definition, ie queer or fag
Day 26 - Your favorite gay joke (we all need to laugh at ourselves)
Day 27 - Your favorite LGBT blog/tumblr/site
Day 28 - Write a letter to someone. It can be a coming out letter or a letter regarding how you hate their homophobia or whatnot. You don’t have to send it.
Day 29 - SHOUT SOMETHING! IT CAN BE HAPPY AND ABOUT PRIDE OR HATEFUL ABOUT HOMOPHOBIA!
Day 30 - Anything LGBT you’d like to end this on :]


So last night I was supposed to go to Can't Stop the Serenity* with some of my friends (Margo, Missy, Adam, and Anna). Before I get into the details of how the stars were not aligned in my favor last night, I should point out that we were planning to buy tickets at the door so no money was lost.

Anyways, on Wednesday, Margo told me she wasn't going to come because she needed to work on her Multicultural project for the class she's taking this summer. Yesterday morning, Missy sent me a message on Facebook to say that she was going to be stuck in the vet clinic all day and there wasn't any way she could get there on time. I wasn't too worried about the cancellations at that point since I figured Adam and Anna were still coming. But then Adam called about two hours before I was going to start driving to say that he'd come down with some digestive health problems and he wasn't sure they'd pass in time for him to get there. We decided to give it a few hours, just because he knew how excited I was about going and he wanted to be able to go as well. As fate would have it though, his illness got worse and he had to cancel (which meant Anna had to cancel because he was her ride.)

I was bummed and disappointed about not getting to go, of course, but it turned out somewhat okay as Erin and John invited Nick and I over for the night so we just hung out with them.

*Can't Stop The Serenity is a charity event for Equality Now (an organization that Joss Whedon is in full support of). Money is raised via screenings of Serenity and Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog, along with various merchandise items and raffles.

As for today, I kinda want to go see Despicable Me, but Nick doesn't want too. I don't mind seeing movies by myself, but I'm feeling lazy and I'm not sure I want to spare the effort.

ETA: I went to the movie anyways and I had a blast. Mood is much improved. :)
