Every new person you meet, every new place you go, every new situation presents a new opportunity and need to Come Out. ---

I’d like to take this opportunity to out myself here, too. IRL I am mostly out, but am putting off telling a couple of people, since I think it will go badly when I do. Oh well, in my own time… ---

I’m getting paid on Friday, and since the bills are finally under control, I’ll probably be buying a webcam and setting up **EvilCam®** (at long last). Either then or when we get our long-overdue profit sharing at work. I just have to zap that tiny bit of fat I still have that’s covering the abs of steel I’ve been building.
