So, I have a group of online friends I've kept up with for roughly 10 years! Sadly, school has absorbed a good amount of my life for the past few years, and now the only way I really keep up with them is through Livejournal and Facebook. But still, we basically grew up together, often chatting into the wee hours of the morning (because most of us were shut ins, haha). And... A good amount of them are queer! Basically, the only thing stopping me from telling them was feeling like I'd missed the queer boat, or like I was somehow not gay enough. But I did. Wrote a letter, basically, and decided 12 hours later that I just needed to bite my lip and post it since it was always gonna be scary. Never has pressing a button made me so shaky and nervous! I'd share what I wrote, but it's long, hehe. And their wonderful and supportive responses only told me that, basically, my fears about opening up to them were completely stupid. But the thing that amuses me, is that I'd linked to one of my friend's sites in a thread here, and when she responded, she said this -- So APPARENTLY she already knew, haha. But everyone's all "Good for you!" and congratulatory and man, why the hell didn't I do this sooner? I even got an invite to a pride party! Haha awesomeee! I'm still grinning =D AND. I TOTALLY JUST CHANGED MY FACEBOOK INFO. God, today is awesome.
