    Hey peeps,

    It looks like I am about to be out to everybody. I just agreed for Andi to upload the photos (see http://www.emptyclosets.com/forum/showthread.php?t=17787) onto his bebo and they are now linked with my profile. This means my mates and cousins can see them now. :eek: This is quite a jump but I suspect this will spread pretty quick, and I know it's pretty sudden but this is how I work. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    So yeah, looks like I am now going to be out to everybody. Let the whispering beginnnnn. :icon_redf

    That's great!!! Do you think most people will talk to you when they find out, or not say anything?

    And, you guys look great!

    I imagine that my cousins will interrogate me. They're mostly girls (teenagers) so they're at the whole gossipy stage that they'll want to know everything. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes: Twill also spread through my family very quickly too.

    My mates I am not sure about. Some will probably know already and just not have mentioned it, others will have suspected and others may be shocked. I'll soon see though. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    (*hug*) Good luck Martin. I hope it goes OK.

    Think of it this way, it's unlikely that anyone will react as badly as your dad did, and you got through that OK. :thumbsup:

    Thankies peeps. :grin:

    So far I know two of my mates has seen them. One has commented saying "cute pics :wink:" and seems fine, though she has always been cool anyway. The other seems oblivious to it as they are just asking How I am with no mention of seeing them. Either they haven't seen them or they're not surprised? :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    I think it's best to come out to everyone like this.

    It kinda shows how it's only a small part of your life seeing as you're randomly uploading pictures like any other.

    I did this with myspace, i think 3 people asked me.
    They managed to spread the news around the entire school.

    So I was fine. :slight_smile:

    aha.


    Oh, and g'luck

    You big pansy you.
