Anybody else figure it out thanks to The L Word?
-
regretfully, yes, it sealed the deal.
-
It wasn’t the first or only clue, but it was def a part of the process.
-
Ha ha I second that. The L Word + Tegan and Sara = large part of my lesbian awakening.
-
-
Ooh I’ve only seen episodes online but I’m thinking about getting dvds. Shane is so fricken gorge! I think that’s her characters name lol
-
I got DVD’s for my birthday because of everything on Autostraddle (yes, 100 Pictures of Shane influenced my decision.) DO IT. DO IT DO IT DO IT. WATCH THEM. STAY UP ALL NIGHT AND WATCH THEM.
If I had been in posession of these/showtime when I was younger, this totally would have helped me out.
-
Hahaha will do! if i can watch a whole season of 24 in one day i can do anything! i will deff get the dvds haha thanks Kat! ;P

Wow, do I need this group. I’m starting the process (only very close friends know right now) and I am working up the courage to finally tell my parents, though honestly it feels more awkward at this point than frightening. I really wish I’d had this all figured out when I was younger. :/
-
Good luck! It took me forever to tell my parents, and they’re the least homophobic people in the world. I don’t know why, I guess it’s just always nerve-wracking to bring up these sorts of things to parents.
-
Thanks! Yeah, nerve-wracking is a good description of it.
-
For me it was really hard to actually get the words out. There was 20 minutes between “I need to tell you something” and “I’m gay.”
-
I experienced that a little when I told my mom (I told them both today and it went better than I thought it might, but still not great). Telling my dad was scarier so I sort of blurted it out and freaked for a few minutes while he said absolutely nothing and stared at me stone-faced. The whole thing felt pretty yucky while I was doing it, but I…[Read more]

Congratulations! I’m really proud of your strength, just knowing how hard it was for me and my mom’s really liberal and I know she’s pretty neutral to gay rights — she’s supportive, but only because it mattered to me.
You’re lucky to have such an accepting older brother. It always helps when there’s someone to support you!

congrats! good for you. it is such a great feeling to be out to your immediate family, at least. less walking on eggshells, less holding things in, less policing your speech…it’s a huge weight off. i’m happy for you, Rinne!

Anyone have a current project they’d like to share?
My last “project” was to watch every episode of Doctor Who still in existence, but the 60s acting was wooden and I got bored, so now I’m learning to program instead. Is it a good idea to switch over to Linux when you don’t know very much and learn as you go, or should I wait a while?
-
If you have another system I’d switch over on one to Linux, just that way if you’re stuck or whatever you have something else you can use in a pinch. Not that I know very much about computers and/or coding.
My last “project” (not as self-imposed as yours I suppose) was to learn all I possibly could for a neuroscience competition for high…[Read more]

I agree with Jamie: only switch one machine to Linux. But don’t worry, Linux is not as scary as it seems. some drivers give annoying issues at first, but everything is reconcilable. Which distro are you thinking about installing?
My summer project is to narrow down my list of summer project ideas so I can actually pick something to work on. But…[Read more]
