Lancin' Away

So, yesterday I got a copy of Freelancer (space shooter, a couple of years old, for you readers who aren't as games-crazy as I am). In a desperate attempt to stave off the onrushing boredom, I've been playing it almost solid for the last two days flat. And now I'm stuck. And bored. I had a temporary relief from boredom, but now it's crept back. :(

Anyway in other news I've just recalled that at my last meeting with my counsellor she said I should try and write a draft of a coming-out letter to my parents. I know I'm ready to come out to my parents - I've put this off long enough. I know exactly how I want to come out - pick a day when they're both out all day (like at work), leave the letter in a visible place, and go spend the night at Brad's house. The only possible flaw in this plan is if they call his house and yell over the phone "how could you do this to us?!" - his parents don't know about my sexuality, so that could be slightly awkward :/ Anyway that plan is how I'd like to do it and there's no better time than the holidays, and my counsellor knows this. After parents comes the games students at uni (my friends all know, but the rest don't - I hope). Shouldn't have too much of a problem there - most of them are reasonably intelligent and educated, and I can let the gossip loose to come out (no soapboxes for me :p).

As far as coming out goes, a lot of other people with blogs (internationally) are being outed. Joe had his blog found by someone at school and the gossip train outed him. Brad (international one, not my friend) had his phone messages read by his mother. Adam had 'stuff' on his computer discovered. Everyone's being outed. With any luck, I'll be next.

I'm bored... post comments to keep me entertained :p
