\<---------------speechless at the irony. 😃 😃 😃 😃

Hmmm. National Coming Out Day. Ok.

A part of me is waiting to wake up and find out that I’m not who I am at all.  
I think I’m Bisexual.  
Last, and without doubt most importantly, I just decided I’m moving to Mississippi. 😛

Hope you all had a festive Coming Out Day! I’m just taking down my Coming Out Day Tree, and putting away the rainbow decorations 'till next year.

And now, I would like to come out as - gasp of shock - a heterosexual. Yes, folks, that’s right. All these years, I’ve been hiding behind the short hair and the flannel shirts, but, dammit, I’m not living a lie anymore! Lemmee outta this closet! I’m a girl who likes boys! So there!

Love to all - wherever you may find yourself on the Spectrum of Sexuality!

I saw **YES** play the Spectrum once. Does that count?

I love Lady and the Tramp!

Now if you wanted it playing DURING the threesome, that would be cause for irony. 😃

It’s not so much that I’m bisexual; it’s more that I have absolutely no standards.

As it happens, when I was fourteen I became briefly obsessed with Lady and the Tramp. Watched it everyday for close to three months. I’m not sure what this signifies.

Yes, I’m late.

Last Saturday my girlfriend came out to her parents, which necessarily meant that I also came out to them. That was an interesting experience.

I’m still not out at work, and I still haven’t told my parents.

AHHH!!! You are one SICK freak!!! Get some HELP! Watch some MST3K or something! Sheesh!

(mods-I’m just teasing, I hope that’s okay!)

And um, I like…

Celine Dion. I love the _Titanic_ theme even. There.

Now, my shame will go on.

I came out in 1973 (that’s just one of the meanings of my SDMB ID), but these days, I fear I’m in danger of becoming a practicing asexual. The horror, the horror…
