Friday was Day of Silence as most of you all know. Well, anyways I took part in that. I knew what I was getting myself into since I go to a very small school and most people don't support LGBT people. It wasn't even an hour into school that I had a teacher laugh in my face after I wrote to her why I wasn't talking. She is very religious and helps run one of the local youth groups. I know she has the right to her opinion and I have mine, she could at least have the respect to not laugh in my face.

Hey everyone. What's going on? I'm so happy I found out about Oasis, it's nice to be myself for once. Since no one knows I'm questioning my sexuality. Actually if anyone wouldn't mind I was wondering if coming out was easy, hard, a big deal to the people around you, or what for you. Was it a big shock or did people kind of see it coming? Thanks to anyone who is willing to share.

Hi, everybody. I'm new here, you probably picked that up from the title. Well, anyways my name is Jenna. I live in a small town and don't follow most people here. I like to be different and go against the flow. I like alternative rock, indie rock, and anything up that ally. Definitely no country. That's it for now. If anybody knows alot about this website or could help me out trying to figure it all out, I would really appreciate it.
Thanks.

My darling children,

I am deeply saddened to announce that I am leaving Oasis permanently, effective now. I wish I could explain why, but I can't. They are too complicated, and very very personal and painful.

I removed Tophat's post to/about me with his permission. As I pointed out to him, since no one knows the history of our relationship, much of that post could easily be taken out of context. I keep everyone's personal shit to myself, which is one of the reasons you trust me. I expect you all to give me that same discretion.

I have severe tendinitis in my right arm, so I am going to be forced to drastically curtail my computer time while I'm in Maine this next month. I'll still be keeping an eye on you all (so behave), but I just won't be able to respond as much until it's better. If you need me to comment on something, just post as usual and then PM me and let me know.

HUGS,
Pat
