Ahhh! I just typed a bunch of stuff, and something made it go away :/ Well, here is most of what I was about to say… I’m glad you didn’t have a worse coming out experience, not that it sounds exactly pleasant. I have some friends who were literally thrown out of their parents’ homes and were left to pay for everything on their own. That kind if happened to my girlfriend since her dad is a youth minister at a horrible farm town church that believes that everyone but them are going to hell; if you aren’t baptized correctly, you’ll go to hell, or if you go to a different denomination church, you will go to hell. Stephanie (my gf) and I actually got kicked out of that church two summers ago when her dad forced us to go. We sat at the balcony, and a few families said that we were making out and that my gf was taking off my pants. The only thing we did was share a box of chocolate and we had our arms kind of around each other, the way people rest their arms on the pews. Stupid homophobes… Anyway, hopefully your family becomes more accepting. I hate how families think that it is such a bid deal, and such a difficult thing when their kid comes out; it’s not like it isn’t a big deal on us, the gay kids… Speaking of families, do you have any siblings or pets?

MY gf and I are glad to hear that you’d liek to hang out! Like I mentioned before, I haven’t had much time for social stuff with my job(s) and school, same with my gf. The friends she did have earlier in college are no longer her friends since they only hang out with straight Christians, and my gf is clearly neither. So what kind of things do you like to do when you aren’t stuck at work? Aside from my not so social interests of reading and video games, I basically love going out to eat. My favorite thing to do is go out and find restaurants with interesting food. And like pretty much everyone else, I like going to movies, usually at The Gate Way by campus since it is only $6 at anytime with a student ID. I’m also a fan of cheap/free things, like going to some of the awesome nature trails. I love biking, but someone ran over my bike, so its dead body is still chained to a post on campus :/ My latest interest is exploring our new neighborhood. My gf and I moved from a really bad area around Easton to the Skyview Towers right outside of downtown and Old Town North, so are probably kinda close to you. And like you, I HATE dancing. Even if I’m really drunk, I still don’t dance; I’m not much of a drinker, well not to get drunk because I’m a light weight. I just like to drink with dinner. I’m turning into a wine snob since I am a certified cheese monger…cheese snob… at a gourmet cheese shop, so don’t be surprised if I try to force cheese on you! Do you generally have the same schedule? Mine is never the same, but is usually somewhat similar, so just let me know if/when you’d like to meet up for food or something, and feel free to bring a friend! Speaking of plans, do you have any Thanksgiving plans?
