Being the 'Gay Best Friend'
So I've been gradually coming out at work to a few people. At first I didn't plan on telling anyone because it really wasn't any of their business, but I ended up telling a couple people. Right now I think the count is up to 5 people from work that know. Now my work place can't keep a secret worth a damn. You tell anyone anything and usually everyone else knows within a few days. It's gossip central really. So it's only a matter of time before it gets out to everyone else, but I guess Im fine with that for now because I don't plan on staying there much longer anyways.
Anyway, back to the point of this blog... it seems that of those 5 people that I told, I'm now looked at as the "gay best friend" by 3 or 4 of them. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad they're all accepting and supportive, but I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed right now. I have 3 people trying to set me up with their friends and getting calls and texts left and right to go out and do stuff. It can get real old real quick!
And I'm going to stop there on that because I lost my train of thought and am too lazy to re-read what I already wrote.
In other news, I'm pretty sure I have strep throat again. My throat is killing me and feels like I have needles being stuck in it every time I swallow. I haven't gone to the doctors yet, but I'm going to setup an appointment tomorrow so don't go all parentish on me and start lecturing like many of you do!

Who never knew coming out could be so damn exhausting
