Hope you have a really good day today, and a great year!

Happy Birthday, Tim!!! :king: Take care of yourself today!

He's probably not throwing this in your face to cause you pain as his primary purpose; it's his own shame, guilt, and self-loathing that he's trying to deal with. He wants to know what made you the way you are because he wants to know what made him the way he is. Don't take his "Yeah I'm a f**king fag, and I don't like it" as a condemnation of you any more than it is a condemnation of himself. When stresses come along, families generally either fall apart or come closer together. They often are too caught up in their immediate response to give any thought to how they react. Don't do that. CHOOSE to become closer to your brother (he is, after all, your identical twin), and become closer to him. Whatever pain you're feeling, he's almost certainly feeling worse. At least you had Green when you came out, and you have some measure of happiness and freedom now. Your brother is many steps behind you, and is handicapped by being a cold personality (or at least, he CAN be cold to people), which means he has less of a support network than you do. At any rate, call him to reassure him that you didn't walk away from him because you rejected him for being gay, but because the combination of sympathetic pain and remembrance of your own pain was too much. Eventually, the emotional pain will pass for both of you; but if you share the burden, it can go faster, and maybe bring you closer together. My sincerest best wishes to you.

Happy birthday, sumbloke!! :graduated:

Happy birthday, Topher!!! :king:

Happy Birthday, Will!

Sorry about your bloody nose! I used to get bloody noses if I ate too much chocolate (still do, actually). So sad, since I love chocolate

Personally, I'd stick to screwing the ones who like the real me. of course you're right! Oh, and sticking can be minimized with adequate lubrication

Welcome to GA and the blogs, Camy! No need to make anything up....if people only like a fake you and not the real you, screw 'em!

Does "bouncy ball" refer to one of these? http://www.superballs.com/ Those were fun!

wow!!! That's so very cool. If I were looking for a mate, the most important quality would be to be a fundamentally happy person. You wouldn't happen to have an older brother, would you?

Hurray! Not such a testy situation after all.

The trouble with hyphens: "I am Inigo Esquivel-Sanchez-Lopez-Mendoza de Fernandez-Isla-Mercedes-Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die." Try repeating that the requisite number of times.... As for mawwiage: "Mawwiage. Mawwiage is what bwings us togethew today. Mawwiage, that bwessed awwangement, that dweam within a dweam. And wove, twue wove, wiww fowwow you fowevah and evah

Are people reading this question as: "Have you EVER felt this way (even once) or not?" or "Do you FREQUENTLY feel this way or not?" I can kind of see how 50% of people might not feel this way frequently, but have 50% of people *NEVER* felt this way?
