    Well after wanting to explode inside all day I came out to my parents.

    I wrote a three page essay of all my feelings and read it to them at the dining room table. I was sitting there bawling my eyes out and they just sat there like nothing was happening! They are totally OK with it and said they sorta suspected it a little bit (like parents usually do). I feel soo free and happy now! They are going to get me a new car next month and the first thing they said after I read everything was, "Don't worry you're still getting a car." :icon_bigg I couldn't be more pleasantly surprised by how well they took it! They are just worried about me having safe sex more than anything. I was able to tell them about the boy in my life and everything. It feels great to be free and not have to keep things secretive.

    Cool! I'm coming out (probable more like validating the "suspicious" of me) this weekend. I know they are going to take it well, I dont know about my grandma though. The reason I haven't "come out" is that I'm not the type to just say alout what is on my mind. You'd have to ask to get information from me. I am very blunt and asshole-like when i give my opinions. lol What I wanted to do originally was to bring a boyfriend home, but sadly, it is hard for me to find someone I like that have at least some interest in what I love to spend my time on, my bikes.

    but congrats!!

    What car are ya getting?
