Alright, so I'm always bashing and making fun of all those people who used the MySpace and Xanga and Facebook and everything like that saying they really need to get a life and stop spending so much time on the computer trying to create relationships and 'friends' through them and what not. Well, I gave in to peer pressure today at school. I was in my Personal Finance class where we have the computers in front of us the whole time, and the people around me convinced me to create a Facebook account.

Well, the school blocks the Myspace and Facebook websites and emails coming in so we cant go there, but there's always ways around that so I made one. I started searching through the school that I'm at and saw that almost 1,500 out of 2,000 kids there had a Facebook account. I was kinda surprised that that many people actually made those things and used them.

Anyways, I was searching through my high school 'network' and was going through the list of seniors and low and behold, who do I find... my 'hypothetical' Adam. So I clicked his and went to it and everything and what's the first thing I see on there? Interested in: Males. So now I'm 100% sure he's gay. Before I was only like 99% sure, but now I know for sure and I started to get my hopes up. Well, looking down another line, I see he's already in a long-term relationship with a guy that he really likes. My hopes came crashing back down.

So now I feel a mixture of relief and sadness because at least I have an excuse as to why I shouldn't go after him, but then it's not like I could get him even if I wanted to because he's already seeing someone. Blah!

------------Switching Gears---------------

Work! I walked in to work today and guess who I see there? Tim. Now, I don't talk about Tim that much in my blogs because it's a waste of breath, but a few people know who I'm talking about. He's a stupid, lazy, dumbass, homophobic, asshole. I, along with everyone that works there, hate him with a passion. I tried to ignore him and go talk to Heather, but as I walk past him, he says, "Hey Joe, did you enjoy National Coming Out Day?"

It took a lot of will power not to just knock the living shit out of him right there. I was so tempted to just punch him in the face. But, I choose the high road and kept walking. First of all, that was yesterday, not today. And how would he know when it was anyways? I honestly think he's so far in the closet that he hasn't even come to terms with it himself yet.

So I told my manager and he told me I should have punched him right there on the spot. I have a good relationship with my manager... he likes gay people and hates Tim So he was encouraging me to file a formal sexual harassment charge on Tim because it's not the first comment he's made, and Tim filed a harassment charge on Paul (the manager) before so he wanted revenge, but I held back and just told him to ignore it.

Well, I learned a lot today. Not all of it was good, but it's nice to know.

Joe

(Who's feeling a lot of emotions going through him right now)

EDITED TO ADD:

So I also found out that the guy I talk with a lot in my Trig class is bi. I thought he was gay, but then dismissed it after he said he had a girlfriend. Who woulda thought he'd be bi
