Nice Try Borders!
Remember when i told you that i ordered a book, well i ordered it from borders, and their database wasn't up-to-date. So they decided to send me a little post card to inform me that the book was no longer in print; they sent the post card straight to my house –err my mom and dad’s house. Yep, I was close to being outted by borders. I was saved only by the massive length of the book title, they only printed on the card this “The Shared Heart: Portraits And Stories” as the book title.
I was at my sisters house today, and I told her that she might be getting a call from Borders sometime; since I used her Phone number on the info I provided (I thought that if they did want to communicate with me that would call, I guess I was wrong). She told me that our mom got something in the mail about that. My mouth dropped to the ground, she asked me what it was about, and I told her that ordered a coming out book. “Oh shit” is what she said.
Well after that, I went and found the postcard, and was relived that the full title was not on there.
Oh, I also told my sister I didn’t care who she told I was gay, that I didn’t care who knew, as long as it wasn’t anyone we’re kin and who she thought wouldn’t get upset. Also I learned that there is a Bi guy (my sister knew that he was bi, I need to get a list of all the gay people she knows) that works at the local wal-mart. So that’s 1 gay guy and 1 bi guy working at the local wal-mart. In addition, when I was at wal-mart, my sister picked up her pictures, I seen a hot guy working at the electronics register.
*Diverts off topic*
Ohhh... Conan just said that he was gay... Too bad it was a joke :(

I just wandered on to your site and I want to congratulate you on gathering your courage to be honest with the people close to you. I was lucky enough to support one of my friends while he came out to friends and family in college--it is still something I feel honored I got be a part of. Good luck!
Thanks for commenting, glad you found my site. I'm also going to thank you for helping your friend. I know that it is difficult to come out, I’m going threw it right now, and people listening and supporting helps enormously.
Right now, I’m tired; tired of hiding this small, but important, part of me; but I’m too afraid to come out to my parents and other family members, right now. When my sister told me that I got that card from Borders, before I went to go pick it up, I told her that I kinda hope that it did have the title on it, and that she did read it. I just hope that, when I do come out, my family and friends will support me.
I think that, with a little time, my mom’s side of the family would be the ones that would support me, except my grandmother on her side. She would support me right off the bat, she would be too supportive in that she would be outing me to everyone I knew and those I didn’t even know. Love her to death, but she can’t keep a secret to save her life. But the others, on my mom’s side, would probably not take too much time to accept it.
However there is my dad’s side, the conservatives. It wouldn’t surprise me if they did something stupid, after learning that I was gay. But I really never liked that side of the family, they always pissed me off. Our family was always the bad ones, well not my dad, us, we where the spawn of a Swaffer (my mom’s maiden name). They never liked my mom’s side of the family, I guess because they are more liberal, and they curse a lot. But yea, my dad’s sister’s family is the greatest in their eyes, they can do no wrong; and believe me that’s disillusion to the max. Let me explain.. Money I stole from my grandparents = $0.00 spent on nothing; My cousin, Stole = $1,400.00 from my grandparents and spent it on a dog (no exaggeration, she bought a dog for $1,400 that she tried to say that her boyfriend bought her, and he didn’t even have a job. And when she was caught up in her lies, you would think they would hide their money better… nope.). Also she had in her possession $500 she stole from my grandparents, and when she was caught, her excuse was that she was just showing people it (aka they caught her before she spent it). Give me $500, I’ll show it to the sales clerk in best buy. There is plenty of other things that they have done, but I don’t think that they are appropriate to post, hell I don’t even think I should have posted what I did.
The major reason, now, for this blog is to write everything that happens; I have a really bad memory, and it would be nice to look back one day, and see what I’ve been threw, and how much I’ve changed for the better. And I know that it will take some time for them to accept it, it had taken me years to accept it and it might take them awhile to accept it too; I wish that wasn’t the case though, but that’s how it is, I can’t just come out and everyone applaud.
I love Conan! He has a very unusualy shaped head though.
Koge
