    It was a few weeks ago, actually.
    But I haven't been able to log on due to school work, so...

    Me and my family were in (city name) for a wedding(which we ended up missing due to car trouble).

    I finally got to see and spend time with my older sister, alone.
    I'd been trying to tell her for months, but I didn't want to do so over the phone. And we hadn't been down to visit her in a while.

    So, I'm hanging with her and her boyfriend in this big Halloween/Christmas/whatever store, waiting for a table to open for us at the restaurant next door.
    Me and her wander towards the costumes as her boyfriend wanders towards the bathroom.
    We're looking at wigs and I tell her that I need to talk to her about something.
    She becomes concerned, thinking something bad.
    I, having planned everything in advance, flounder for words, and start rambling a little.
    Finally, because I have difficulty just telling someone outright, the exact words, I tell her 'I guess you could say this is me 'coming out''
    Now, she reacted just how I thought she would, positively.
    We then looked at Halloween stuff, bought a bunch of candy, complained about Mom's bigoted witchy-ness(though it's usually spelled differently...), had some GREAT cinnamon rolls.
    All in all, it was a good day.

    (Though there was a bit of a misunderstanding there when she thought I said 'transexual'...)
    (And I'm not sure her boyfriend had any idea what was going on.)
