    So big news guys. I was asked this week by one of the producers of 1 Girl 5 Gays on MTV to audition for the show. But I think that if I do get on it (audition first) I'm basically going to HAVE to tell my parents. I mean not only is it in a different city two hours away but if someone sees it and mentions it to my parents they saw me on tv...well...you can understand. I'm not necessarily asking you guys if this is a good idea? I mean I think this is me subconsciously trying to get myself to come out of the closet to my parents.

    So what do you think?

    This is great! It sounds like you're ready, and maybe this is the extra push you need to do it. For some people, setting themselves a deadline is the best way to deal with something like this, and it sounds like this show might be the perfect "deadline" for you.

    I say go for it!

    I've seen the show a few times, and I think it would be a great opportunity for you. Almost seems like something that would actually come up in a segment. lol

    Well everyone, it's officially happening. My audition is Wednesday next week, I've got my Greyhound tickets booked, and so here we go on the ride that could change my life. (not just coming out, but what being on MTV could result in...I know some people down-trod the network but it could be what gets me started in the entertainment business as I've wanted my entire life.
