OK, today was...interesting.

 

First, my parents found a thing I had written a little while back about depression and suicide--lets just say it was vivid. Apparently, my dad found it and faxed it to my mom, and they both came down early because they were worried. Long story short--they had an "intervention." Everything went well though.

 

More importantly, I came out to Max today

 

Seriously, I thought I had gotten good reactions before, but his is by far the best. So he (ironically) asked me who I liked and we had a long conversation, where I wouldn't tell him, but I felt bad, because he had previously told me. So I told him that I'm gay:

[08:16:34 PM] AP Conflagrant: u nvr no how ppl will react

[08:16:38 PM] Max: hmm thats true

 

So anyway, he was really good about it, and then I was assertive and:

And then, it got even better: I asked if he wanted to hang out on thursday (we have off) and he said sure and were making plans tomorrow. I even made a joke about him being gay later in the conversation.

 

REALLY happy-adam
