I would be surprised if you weren't nervous. Moving in is a big change. Just moving is a change.

Yep. But I'm glad to have my own place, just me and my bf.

I'll try not use it around you

It's okay.

A lot of my friends use it that way; for "stupid". It's kind of become normal to use it in that context, but it actually is pretty offense because gay doesn't mean stupid, you know? And by using it for stupid, you're (not you specifically, but everyone who uses it in general) basically saying gay people are stupid, which I know you definitely don't think that.

There's even been like those service announcement commercials on TV urging people not to use it that way.

Just my two cents, that's how I feel about it.

Anyway.

How is everyone?

Definitely. I know it was when I was growing up and especially in HS, I don't think gay people are stupid at all, my best friend is gay

But yes, I'm ok

How are you?

I'm about to go to a makeup course soon

Ooh! That sounds fun!!

I'm good!

Taking a break from unpacking and thought I'll pop in. I probably won't be on much this weekend.

I have a bunch of gay/bi friends. My best guy friend is gay. I love him to death.

My best friend is gay, too! I love that we all have gay best friends!

So exciting that you're movie! I hope everything goes well!

laurenfan1 · 10-16-2009, 10:19 PM

I'm bi.

I don't really consider myself anything.

I'm in a relationship with a guy, and always have dated guys, but I'm open to anything. If I fall in love with a woman, I fall in love with a woman. I think woman are beautiful, but...idk, I just don't really think of them sexually.
