Eek!

(moved from the old diary-type thing)

Well, now my sister knows about me and my girlfriend. She'd known for some time before I told her, but that's OK, I suppose. The only thing she commented about was our age difference, but I explained that it doesn't really make any difference – in matters of experience she and I are pretty much on the same level :-)

Now J is pressuring me to tell my parents about us... my rather homophobic parents. I know they're not stupid and that I won't get thrown out of the house... but she might be banned from visiting. Actually, it's quite probable that she will be.

Well, at least we're in love with each other (yeah, things have changed – I've changed)... that, surprisingly, makes a lot of stuff more tolerable. I know it's a terrible cliché and sounds mushy as hell, but that's just the way things are now. It makes me happy but also scared out of my wits. There's still a lot of uncertainty.




The wedding was nice and we shocked the bride's mother by kissing each other in full view of her. Heard later that she'd been quite upset, and that she'd asked if the newlyweds were "actually going to let THOSE people" to look after their cats while they're on honeymoon. Hah!

The bore met my gf. Nothing happened. I was bored and just wanted to get out of there... but I managed to be polite.
