They... Forgot That I Came Out?

Abby's back!!! YES!!! I missed her sooooo much! Camp just isn't the same without her...... and she's back, not in camp, but still back! I'm really happy to see her. She's... just the sweetest person, and really intelligent too, and mature, and just really really fun to be around. Happy she's back. She and Zoe came over today after camp, after a failed quest to Pearl Paint (which had closed... sadness), and we hung around my house and made camp references and screwed around on various instruments. And I'd said a couple gay things that day (rainbows, having lyrics to 'That's So Gay' on my piano, my cellphone banner saying 'Gay!', etc.), because I want to be out to her and I want her to be on the same page as me... because she's the sort of person I'd like to be able to talk to. And so she finally asks me, "Maia, are you gay?" (Which, yay thank you for directness!) And I said, "yeah, as far as I can tell right now..." and we had a whole big conversation about it, until I remember that I'd come out to her and all my camp friends before, sorta. I mean, told them I liked a girl, at one of our sleepovers. They'd been, like, my fifth coming out, total. I was scared shitless. And they don't even remember it now XD and I did my version of coming-out-without-making-a-big-deal, just-so-it's-out-there at camp to everyone else not a close friend when our music director went around asking everyone if they had a boyfriend, and I said "I don't have a boyfriend or a girlfriend... and frankly I'd prefer a girlfriend." And Zoe didn't remember that either! Jebus, I think I've failed at coming out! XDD

On another note......... I go to Legally Blonde the Musical tomorrow. Someone please shoot me.

hm, well i suppose there are

hm, well i suppose there are worse things they could do than forget you came out to them. hopefully it just means it doesn't matter much in their idea of you. in any case, i'm glad it went well with Abby.... it's nice to be able to have a long conversation about it with somebody who cares to listen.
