Default I never thought I would do this.

So, I came out to my cousin last night. She's the only person I've ever told. I never planned to do it last night; It happened much earlier that I had planned. Anyway, it wasn't very emotional, but here is what happened. I told her I wanted to tell her something but she had to guess. Even though I gave her a lot of hints it took her a while to get it. Finally she said "don't get mad if this isn't right but...do you like boys?" And then I said yes and knew I finally had my first coming out done. After that we really didn't talk about it much, she was just like "ok thats cool I like gay people." lol, so it was kinda uneventful.
