    <content type="html">Ok, so. It's been awhile. A bit over a month, really.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name="cutid1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I haven't seen Kate for a long time. Not since the you-are-mentally-ill episode. After that I was really depressed, I cried and then the pain went away after a while. But it's not so much out of losing Kate, it's about being straight in a gay world. If someone like Kate can't accept me for liking boys, how the hell are other people (the majority) who are more prejudiced and shit than her going to? I guess I never realized how hard it was to be a minority before.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But, yeah. Kate is gone. I'll just have to live with that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A few weeks ago I met this transboy, Amy/Eric. Well, Amy is his legal name but he likes Eric. He really helped me get through my rough patch after Kate left. He's so sweet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, so... he took me out on a date, yesterday. Ice cream :) We're still getting to know each other, so it was nice to just be able to talk like that. Plus, no one stared at us for being a hetero couple.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;</content>

    <content type="html">Sorry for the delay guys... it's been hectic.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ok, so. After I mostly got over being rejected by Kate, which did take some crying and all, I started looking around on some bi/straight dating sites. Just to look, you know? I think there's actually more here on livejournal that I would use, since it's free :P&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don't know. The more I looked at the pictures of the girls, the more I had to convice myself that I found them attractive. Then I let myself look at the boys, and whooo. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think I'm finally starting to accept this... that yes, I really &lt;i&gt;am&lt;/i&gt; attracted to boys, and no, I'm &lt;i&gt;not&lt;/i&gt; attracted to girls... that way. I don't know, they just don't &lt;i&gt;do&lt;/i&gt; anything for me, you know?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So... long story short, I think I might be straight.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Have you ever heard of Carlos Mencia? I saw this skit of his once, when he was dressed up as psuedo-Barney and these little kids were supposed to be calling him, and this one little boy goes "Carlos? I think I might be straight." So he sings a song:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"If you think you might be straight then you're straight! *clap clap* If you think you might be straight then you're straight! *clap clap* If you think you might be straight and dream of boning Mrs. Bate, if you think you might be straight then you're straight! *clap clap*"&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Then the kid goes "Thanks Carlos! Hey mom, I'm straight!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I love it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyhow... I think he's right, eh?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So... I guess what this long-winded entry was about... well, I'm straight.</content>

    <content type="html">Being heterosexual is not a &lt;i&gt;mental illness&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;Neither is being bisexual.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So don't you fucking tell me that I 'need help.'&lt;br /&gt;Don't leave a list of psychiatrists &lt;i&gt;that you printed out with my damn ink&lt;/i&gt; on my kitchen table.&lt;br /&gt;Don't give me a scared look when you see me.

    <content type="html">Shit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Shit shit shit shit shit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name="cutid1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kate found my journal. I didn't think she'd go snooping around on me. Guess I'll have to start deleting my history :/&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We were supposed to go out last night. She came over looking all stressed out. We ended up just sitting on the couch all night. It went something like this:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Me: What's wrong?&lt;br /&gt;Kate: I don't know.&lt;br /&gt;Me: ... you don't know?&lt;br /&gt;Kate: (shakes head, pauses, looks at me) Why didn't you tell me you started a journal?&lt;br /&gt;Me: ..... You read it?&lt;br /&gt;Kate: (looks away)&lt;br /&gt;Me: ....... Well?&lt;br /&gt;Kate: Well...&lt;br /&gt;Me: Are you okay with me being bi?&lt;br /&gt;Kate: ... I just, it's not &lt;i&gt;normal&lt;/i&gt;, you know?&lt;br /&gt;Me: (Mental sigh.) That's a no?&lt;br /&gt;Kate: ... Well.. I just, I can't see how this is going to work.&lt;br /&gt;Me: You mean us?&lt;br /&gt;Kate: (nods)&lt;br /&gt;Me: ... &lt;br /&gt;Kate: (looks at me again) Emma, I think you need help. You're sick. I know where to find---&lt;br /&gt;Me: (bolting up) Fuck you too! (leaves the house and slams the door)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First experience being "outed." That was fun.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;</content>

    <content type="html">Ok so... I'm Emma and I'm 18. Hiya.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So... I'm currently in a relationship, her name is Kate. But I don't know.. I feel like I'm cheating her. I just so badly want to be gay like I'm "supposed" to... I think I might be bi. 'Cuz I know for a fact that I'm attracted to boys. However much I wish I wasn't.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don't know. Breeders aren't even allowed in the goddamn army of this 'free' country. Not that I personally mind, but there has to be alot of bis and straights that are really frustrated by that. Seems like I hear another story every week about somebody coming out and getting booted out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And that whole "technology exists for a reason" thing is shit. It's natural damn it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I said that once to someone and they were just, I don't even know &lt;i&gt;how&lt;/i&gt; to describe it. That facial expression, just utter superiority to stupid little breeder chick. Anyhow they (predictably) said "Forward facing eyes and pointed teeth." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No. Fuck you. We aren't naturally meant to eat each other. GDIAF.</content>
