So I came out to my sister last night. We were going to the book store cause she needed a book and so did I. It was perfect she asked me when I got home from work if I wanted to go to the book store. I needed to cause I needed a book for when i come out to my parents.

So this is how it went
L- my sister
when we were in the car going to the store

L- So who is the person that you are in a relationship with? ( thought i hid it from her on facebook)
Me- Does it really mater
L- Not really just wanted to know.

Me- Well I really cant say
L- Why cant you tell me?
Me- Cause I'm gay
L- I already knew that. I knew something was up when all you started to wear was V neck shirts and it was taking you 20 minutes to do your hair.
Me- Well I do love my V neck shirts.
L- Ya lots of people thought that you were gay.
Me- Who?
L- Every one of my friends and C friends.
Me- So much for hiding it.

Then she asked me questions for like 2 hours. But she is super suportive and wants to go shopping this weekend. Yay shopping.
