So I was on skype with my best friend when I had the overwhelming urge to come out to him. Probably due to Ellen Page. Anyway, this is an edited version of our conversation. Please note we yell and curse at each other like idiots all the time. It's normal. Those numbers down there are "I'M GAY" in binary. Me=A Friend=M A: 01001001001001110100110100100000010001110100000101011001 Use a binary translator. M: Too lazy just tell meeeeeeee A: hahahaha no. M: Oh. Well, I'll call you Ellen Page (((nice try))) A: How do you mean "nice try" M: I assume you were attempting to make me say the message A: ummmm... yes. of course. That's what I did. M: Oh Were you serious? Because if so this is awkward A: No M. I was trying to get you to say the message duh M: I don't know. That seemed pretty sarcastic. A: You're a f*****g idiot TA DAAAAAAAAAAAA M: Okay Ellen :3 No seriously were you being serious because I'm confused. Don't blame me I'm my father's child. Because if so you know that's totally fine. A: AHEM *shuffles akwardly* TA DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA M: I DONT KNOW WHAT THAT MEASNSNSNSNDSNDNSDJNSDKJSNKFNDSKFJ A: IT MEANS I'M A FLAMING HOMOSEXUAL M: OH OKAY YOU WERE BEING SERIOUS THEN WAS THAT SO HARD? A: YES IT F*****G WAS. I'VE SAT AROUND FOR A YEAR WAITING FOR THE RIGHT TIME M: Oh A: But then I thought, "hey, if Jodie could do it, so could I" (After this, a certain amount of casualness was introduced and everything got better.) I left him with this gif I saw from somebody else on EC Everything happened so quickly and I don't know why I did it. There have been better times to come out. Missed Opportunities. He is my best friend and I know not much will change between us. It has taken me a whole year, but thank you EC. Thank you for everything.
So there ya go! The first one is always the most nerve-wracking. I think i stuttered and muttered and danced around the words for a good 10 minutes before I was finally able to get it out to my best friend. Her reply to me was: so there ya go! what do you want to do about it now?
