Well, i took a one week break, and i had time to think... - Empty Closets - A safe online community for gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered people coming out

Greggers · 31st Jul 2009, 01:46 PM

...and during that time i decided i would stay on the site, to a degree. I may only post once or twice every other day or so (compared to my 20 something post average from before). I trolled some while i was gone and i see too many threads that i want to help in to leave

Ill be strictly here just to give advice though, not alot of chat room or fun and games threads.

Anyways, update on my life.

Im going to my FIRST gay club tonight

Its actually a block party thing in Vancouver. I think some other members might even show up, from what ive heard its a big deal. Im so nervous heh. Ive been trying to make my hair not so ugly for hours now, with no success. Im more afraid of my straight friends coming with me than the event though. I really hope they dont start making fun of the very very very gay looking people or the old queens. Mainly because im one of those very very very gay people on the inside, and they dont really know the extent of that, and im bound to end up being an old queen sitting in the piano bars every day of the week. But yea, i dont want to have to rant my face off at them when they are doing me such a huge favor, but if they do start going down the path i know i wont be able to just sit back and take it. Too vocal for that. Oh, and dancing. Dancing im scared of.

Great to hear you're staying Greg! You give some fantastic advice, and it would be a shame to see you go. I love how honest you are here, we really need it sometimes!

Hopefully all will go well with the party!

Yayayayay!!!

Greggers · 1st Aug 2009, 10:28 AM

Ok, first off, WOW.

I was not expecting any of what happened last night xD

They blocked off two blocks of the gay district of Vancouver and had one stage at each block and then some booths in each block with random stuff (one booth was some S&M type leathery deal haha). Me and my friends walked around and saw everything then stood at the stage with the shirtless hot guy + dancers singing. We stayed at that stage kinda the whole night cause they had about 4 different acts and they were all GREAT. My favorite was definitely the drag queen. She sang "Finally Its Happened To Me" and i think i peed a little i was so excited (love the song, plus it was in Priscilla Queen of the Desert). I also had a reaaaaally tweeked out guy shove his ass in my crotch while we were dancing. That was.....an experience. I kinda just went along with it. The entire time i was like "If someone is filming this i will die inside....". But overall, it was SO amazing. I saw my first gay couple, first gay kiss, ect. ect. (and alot of them). This was such a big deal for me since i live in a very small community. For once in my life....i felt....normal.

Oh, and i got free beads

WOOOOOOOOO! FREE BEADS! And i got free pink and white snap bracelets and free gum and free coke zero. People were just throwing free stuff at us the entire night.

RaRa · 1st Aug 2009, 10:40 AM
