The summer after the first year in college I was away living in a dorm on a college campus with people from work. This is when I finally ``came out.'' I told a nice guy from the south about it and also my roommate. They didn't seem freaked out about it all. I was so relieved. All this time I had been hiding it because I thought people would be weirded out, especially masturbating, etc. But some people weren't. When I got back to school I sometimes wore a leather jacket, which was actually for women, and these only slightly heeled lace-up calf boots under my black jeans. But a friend of my suggested I not wear it. Oh well. I guess some people are not as accepting as others.
