    Eyyyyyyy

    Not much to say, really. I'm in what I'd call a fairly conservative area in a fairly unforgiving period of my life (high school, bleh). I'm not one of those "I never knew 'til now" cases, nor am I one of those "the only thing I ever came out of was momma's womb!" cases. No secret bromances, or hiding behind years of unsatisfying relationships, or whatever. Just never liked chicks (OK, boobies are kinda awesome but I digress :icon_wink). I've had the occasional "straight guy-crush", but either never realized it as such or ignored/hid it.

    My brother is gayer than Jack McFarland (works at Armani, watches Bravo, criticizes everyone's fashion/decorating choice, listens to that cheesy Eurodance crap, gets #turnt every weekend, lithpth, wears tight shits and pants, and straight girls worship him like the God of Fashion, etc.). I'm his complete opposite. I'm shy, introverted, listen to rock/rap/pop, have only slightly better fashion/aesthetic taste than my dad, don't exercise much (trying to change that), etc. My mom is.....disapproving of my brother. She's an ex-party girl who flips back and forth between conservative Catholic lady who "loves the sinner" and a supportive and fun mother. This naturally ticks my brother off, because he doesn't know if she's being homophobic or just overprotective. Neither do I.

    PS: I actually do have two walk-in closets. My house is huge and I have a lot of crap :eusa_danc

    So yeah. Hi!

    *hifives danobi*

    Honestly tho, I can't think of any worse Hell than being gay AND introverted/shy/awkward/etc. Not only do you have to tell people something that could potentially alienate you and only a small percentage (10%ish, IIRC) of the population swings thataway, but you don't really like talking to people much at all? It's hard, I tells ya!
