    Holy cheese-flinging tortoise wizards, that was aklghroiahaueriw.

    I just came out to my cousin. He's gay, so I wasn't expecting any backlash, but still. Holy fluffing tater tots on fire.

    He says he's in the process of writing out a long message. He's ecstatic, I think.

    So am I. I'm dying in a positive way. Is this real life?

    Holy dancing banana. (!)

    Peanut butter freaking jelly time.

    I'm shaking. Jesus Christ.

    =) Congratulations. It was a huge step, and you took it, and you did it.

    I'm happy your cousin is taking this and presumably being supportive. I think you need to update your 'out status'... ; )

    EDIT: In regards to the post #3 in this thread... Aw =) That's very kind of him to address you while he was trying to sleep. Clearly this is more important than sleep for him, which is very nice. Get some sleep soon, though, Turbo Turtle! It's important for you, and for him as well.

    Yeah. It's 2:30 in the morning, I can't sleep, and I'm literally shaking.

    I'm talking with him right now. He happened to notice his phone when he was tossing and turning in bed.

    Holy cheese. Am I awake? Still shaking. askdghrwoiqtu;satowqhguof hgoerqqboeqwun
