    ...my name is Dylan
    ...where to start.... I've never participated on a forum before and am very shy (ya, I know everyone says that, but I really am, I don't even have a facebook account) so I'm not really sure what to say. I guess I'm here for the same reasons (most) everyone else here is; to come out of hiding and whatnot...

    Anyways, about me:
    - I'm a University student living in Kamloops BC
    - I love all things manga/anime/Playstation3
    - As I've mentioned, I'm quite shy
    - Even if you got to know me you'd have no idea at all that I'm gay unless I told you. That's not to say I act like a straight douche-bag or anything (far from it), I just have zero stereotypical gay guy characteristics.
    - Lastly, I am currently formulating a plan to come out to my parents, so I won't be annoying anyone with "help, what do I do?" posts, I'll just be looking for critique/suggestions if anyone has time to spare. (I'm somewhat determined not to let this be a case of posting one introduction and then never being seen again. I leave too many projects half finished as it is...)

    But I digress (provided I haven't bored you all to death with my rambling) hullo, nice to meet you!

    Is it just me, or is there a strangely disproportionate number of people from BC on this forum?

    Anyway, welcome!

    Hi Dylan! :smilewave

    I'm new here too, and just beginning to discover manga and anime.

    Um, I dunno what the protocol is here, but why not post your current coming-out plan here or in the support/advice thread?

    Hi Dylan, and Welcome to EC! Hopefully we'l be of some help in coming out to your parents.

    And this place has a way of curing shyness. I didn't think I would post much when I joined up. But I got over that quickly :wink:

    Hi Dylan and welcome to EC :slight_smile:
    I'm glad you decided to join despite of your shyness and I hope you'll soon be completly comfortable among us. Remember we are all here to help and that many people here have been through what you're going through, so there is no such thing as a stupid question or a worthless post.
    Make yourself at home and talk to you soon :slight_smile:
