No Balls You Won't!

[Pant Leg Eater from the Bad World]

So I did something that I never thought I would do. I told some of my Marines that I am bi… while at the San Diego Pride block party. I was invited along because I don't have a life since my wife left me. I agreed because why not. I have been thinking about getting my gay back on anyways. Anyways, I told them and one of them said that she already knew. So apparently I haven't been acting as straight as I thought I had been these last five years. So I think I am going to stop hiding it again. Open again.

So, topic. What brave thing that you never thought you would do have you done lately? Or shat would you like to do?

Gotta love it when people come out of the closet, when everyone around them didn't know they were in. My mom's cousin came out as a lesbian a few years ago, and when my grandma told us my mom and I both said "She was in the closet?"

I guess my brave thing would be getting pushy with medical staff. I'm usually very go-with-the-flow, but my baby was in the NICU for two weeks and I was a total helicopter mom, making sure every single thing was done right and that I (and/or BJ) approved of every single thing they did.

Making strides to overcome body issues, yeah!

Thought it would never happen and it feels really good.

Bravest thing? Hmm, probably convincing myself to finally become serious enough to maintain a real relationship. I had a furious discussion with myself.

[snacks]

Bravest thing is telling someone that I needed to confront how I felt, which is very hard for me to do btw, but it had to be done. I am the most anti-confrontational person in the world, but this was just....too much.

Congrats on coming out? It's a hard thing to do, I know.

I can totally se you doing that Amanda. Running around yelling at the staff as they are doing their jobs.
It is actually the second time I came out. But both times there was one person who I said I needed to tell them something and they were like 'i think I already now, you are bi.' Both times I was dumbfounded that they already knew.

Aww well good for you. I remember when I came out as Bisexual. To my best friend. It was pretty funny as well, because when I told him that, he initially thought Bisexual meant having both sexual organs (a hermaphrodite). That broke the ice fast.

After that, speed on another year, and I then told other people and became, I guess, what you'd call 'fully open'. It was only earlier last year that I updated my Facebook profile to say that I was 'interested in' both genders. I still wouldn't dare speak of my sexuality with my family though

I guess another brave thing I did was take my shoes off in public for the very first time. I was on the beach with friends and felt brave enough to take my shoes (and socks) off for the very first time. It was scary. But I'm glad I did it. Only 10 more years until I can start wearing sleeveless tops!

I got totes hammered and told my dad that my sister's gay. XDD

She snitched on me for some stuff that was none of her business, so. Yeah.

^ No I don't care if that's jacked up. That ho is 40 now and never told my parents. It needed to be done.

[Shorty]

Well. It's not my business, but that isn't really your business to tell.

That's not really on. I would hate to have been outed in that manner.

Acting silly with boyfriend without worrying about being judged.

Going to counseling.

Such is the way of us. I got tired of being in the middle of it though. My dad would make comments and observations and ask me about it cuz he knew I knew since I'd been living with her. I did try telling my sister to just come out with it and talk to them, but she wouldn't do it.

My brother used to tell on me for stuff all the time to try and take the focus off of him. So then my dad asked me point blank if he was on drugs, and I told him straight up he was doing meth (I wasn't doing it yet back then). I didn't used to be like that, but again, I got tired of those 2 telling my parents crap that they had no business telling them, so.

I mean. My dad didn't get mad or anything. He was more relieved that it was finally out in the open. He's asked my sister to bring her GF for Xmas, but her GF won't go. She's a whack job.

Edit: my sister was relieved too. I don't think she knows that I said it, but my dad kinda talked to her about it and said it was fine.

I've started sticking up for myself when I'm being bullied at work

[Pheesh]

I've been in a successful LDR for over 7 months now which, if you knew me a few years ago, would astound you and I'm also about to live with a girlfriend for the first time in my life. Not that I never thought I would do that second thing, but I still feel brave!

The brave thing is that it's Locky, man. She's a Geordie.
