Exciting Times

[scheherazade_79]

This weekend my parents discovered I smoke.

When I got home today my dad had gone for a long walk, and my mother was looking rather tight-lipped. The issue of the cigarettes that dropped out of my pocket was raised, but it was over in ten seconds.

My dad came home and was really quiet around me, while my mother continued to look tight-lipped.

Now I've discovered that my mum has been through my entire DVD collection - The L Word boxed sets, Bound, If These Walls Could Talk 2, But I'm a Cheerleader, Aimee & Jaguar... Name any significant lesbian movie, and I have it - in a neat little pile, which has now been jumbled up.

So there we have it. The cat is finally out of the bag. My status as a rug-muncher is official.

I'm just wondering how long it'll be before it's brought up in conversation.

Part of me wants to laugh at it, part of me wants to embrace the wave of freedom that's washing over me... but it's still scary stuff, and I'm so churned up it's given me the shits.

It is a good feeling, despite everything.

You should also relish the somewhat dubious distinction of being a rare example of a woman outed by her DVD collection...
Oh yeah - and the bed is definitely still available, and on short notice too... though when I say bed I mean a very comfy mattress on the sitting room floor. But I'm a great cook, if that's compensation

Yeah, it was kind of restrictive in there....

Am I allowed to smoke other stuff on your roof when everyone's in bed?

Yes, but don't wake the dog.

At least it's a very tasteful collection

I can make it to yours in about three hours! What's for dinner tonight?

 

[scheherazade_79]

Yes, but don't wake the dog.

Can't the dog can come up with me?

 

[ABSTRUSE]

Can't the dog can come up with me?

No she's old and has a touch of arthritis. You'll have to sit on the porch with her.

I know this is the case, because

It is one of the hardest things to do to tell parents you are gay. (Somehow there are lots of tears involved on both sides in my experience - never understood the tears, though) My best advice is being happy in what you choose and whatever YOU choose to do IN YOUR SITUATION is best for you love.

That's ok. Old dogs are my favourite smoking companions. They're naturally mellow, and don't mind having hugs out of the blue.

Do you have a greenhouse?

(That one on Channel Four had to be the funniest series. Sugar Rush.)

Well can't say I've ever been through it, of course, but I'm sure it is better than living a lie. Things always work out for the best in the end. Despite what is in the news, most of the things going on in the world are positive.

Yeah yeah. I know shit. But the sentiment at least is meant well.

I will when you build one.

At the end of the day... I can't be any other way. It's up to them to accept me. I don't think they'll kick me out or anything, but it's probably going to be a while before things start approaching normal again.

Fuck... Reality check - this really has happened...

Thanks, Charley

I don't know how

I'll just get a ready-constructed one by mail order. We could grow some plants in there together

Works for me....I like herbs.

How hot is it where you live?

 

[scheherazade_79]

It suddenly dawned on me - I've just been outed by the entire cast of the L Word.... Maybe I should write them a letter and tell them...
