Dopers,

As you may know, October 11 is National Coming Out Day. In celebration of this grand event, I have something that I wish to share with you all.

I’m gay.

\<deafening silence\>

Oh, wait… you already knew that. \<deepsigh\>

I guess I have no choice but to reveal my secret shame.

\<whisper\>  
Sometimes when I’m all by myself I’ll listen to N\*Sync.  
\</whisper\>

So, anyone else feel the need to come out?

chasing rainbows,  
andygirl

::stapling up some chicken-wire to block thrown bottles::

I sometimes like to listen to the Go-Gos.

I own an Enya CD.

I wept during the end of “Field of Dreams.”

I own a DVD copy of “Starship Troopers.”

I once bought a three-cassette set of “Fifty Great Moments in Opera” through a late-night TV ad.

Can I please stay? Please? And can I take down the chicken-wire?

I like cheezy music, I mean really cheezy music. Richard Marx cheezy.

I have yet to tell TinyTot the truth about where babies come from, even though he’s asked. He knows about the womb, placenta, ect. but I haven’t gotten around to telling him exactly how daddy puts babies in mommy’s tummy. I am such a prude!

I still sneak cigarettes when I’m out on the town, even though I was supposed to have quit for good years ago.

I like Boone’s Farm, esp. strawberry.

Do y’all still love me? ☹

tatertot-- yes. 🙂

Me? Hmmm…

I once had the “The Little Mermaid” soundtrack memorized.

Beat me now… maybe it’ll get “Les Poissons” outta my head…

I saw Toy Story II twice- once all by myself.

I love boy bands.

I’m a Star Wars geek.

I spend too much money on crap.

I’m a Weird Al fanatic and I’m going to see him in two weeks. Twice in the same week.

I cry at movies. Specifically:  
[ul]  
[li]Last scene with Dawson, Downey, and Caffey in “A Few Good Men”[/li][li]Jesse’s reminiscing in “Toy Story 2”, especially when she’s abandoned at the roadside[/li][li]The end of “Field of Dreams”[/li][li]In “Hook”, when Peter’s kids are finding their happy thoughts[/li][li](for a different reason) When Ted zips his fly up and catches most of his penis in it[/li][/ul]

I listen to Eighties hair metal.

I also used to swipe my sister’s copies of YM and read them (just for the ‘Embarassment Spotlight’ column, I swear!).

Well, I’m bi-curious. Or maybe just very horny. I’m not exactly sure. 🙂

Pretty sure everyone already know this, but I’m an atheist.

I also have a “thing” for braids. Short and fat, long and thin, one at a time or dozens at once, I like 'em all. Braids are _the_ most sexy thing a girl can wear.

BK-

You are _so_ wrong. The sexiest thing a girl can wear is those little catholic school girl outfits.

AudreyK-

Zoot Alor! I have Meesed one!

For me:

I’m a real sucker for Jack Webb TV shows. Adam-12, Emergency, Dragnet. It’s like a perfect little world. As long as you’re white and protestant, I guess. Heck, I’m white…do I get to enter fairyland, tink?

I still listen to the Sun City CD.

I sometimes look upon women other than my wife with lustful thoughts…

When I was 10 years old, I shoplifted a deck of cards from a Jolly 5 and Dime.

I feel so much better now, thanks!

I don’t like music, and I mean any kind of music.

I am not in any way bothered by the deaths of John Lennon, Jim Henson, or any of the other famous people that have been cried over recently.

I write a Disney related column giving my opinions about various Disney related issues. But I don’t really care. My poor reader.

I know a joke that no person should know:  
-How do you know that you are having sex with a four-year-old?

-You heard her pelvis snap.

Can anybody erase that from my head (that joke was the first, and last, thing I read on alt.tasteless back in 1992).

Well exactly. You say no one gets hurt. You say what a consenting adult listens too in his own home is nobody’s business. But soon you’ll feel the need to convert other to your depraved lifesyle. Soon you’ll be lurking outside of schoolyard with Disney soundtracks and the Best of Poison clench in your sweating hands.

Repent now!  
(Oh, and I was going to confess to being addicted to horrible Christian TV programs.)

I’m bisexual.  
I listen to boy bands. (YES N’SYNC!)  
Sometimes I wear my clothes without washing them.  
When I’m alone, I watch Star Trek.  
I’m a closet WB teen-drama watcher too.  
I have an over-due library book from Elementary school.  
When no one is looking, I sometimes put ketchup on my ice cream.

Whew! I feel so much better now. 🙂

I love 80s stuff… to the point where Iown 8 different music compilations. I have 500 80s MP3s. I own a copy of a Jem video. I worship She-Ra. I wish Miami Vice was still on the air. Mr. T is a god.

I’m burning in hell.

I pick my nose and eat it.

I enjoy it.

I am not ashamed.

But please don’t tell anyone.

I was at a fair and it started raining so we ducked into the tent by the band shell and watched the entire performance by The Captain and Tenniel. We sang along as they performed “Muskrat Love”.  
It was kinda cool. 🆒
