    TOLD FIRST PERSON FACE TO FACE (i.e. not messenger)

    at Julie and Julia no less

    what happened was...

    ...Today at about 1500EST, I was in the theatre watching previews advertisements etc with 3 other friends. two female, one (gay) male. A girl was sitting beside me and the other two in the row behind me.

    What happened was, I turned so I could see them all and said "I might be gay!"

    ...and the people in the back didn`t react but the friend sitting next to me was like "you? Yeah, I`m not surprised at all" and she didn`t even go to the "when did you know" or "why" or "OMG get away from me" ... she was like "ohhh... so that`s why you told me not to get awkward talking about hot guys in movies. So, why did you say 'might' be gay"

    so I went like "I don`t really know, but I know I`m at least bisexual"

    and this commercial with girls in bikinis come up and she goes: "this does not turn you on"

    "...no..."

    "any crushes yet?"

    "...no..."

    "ok, well, any time you want to talk about hot guys you can call me."

    at this point I`m thinking "SHE IS THE F***ING BEST."

    oh and, I told her I would tell it publicly when I`m ready, and she respected my wishes and vowed not to tell even the most innocent soul and I know she won`t because I have many times tried to extract info about other people and also the fact that no-one knew about her first two boyfriends... she knows to keep private matters to herself and coming out is because I trust her.

    srsly though, SHE IS THE BEST!!!
