Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Timelies all!
Back from taking Boots to the vet for her followup checkup. She's gained 1/4 pound since April, which is good. Now to wait for the test results..
I think Rebecca Lizard was pretty sure of her sexual preferences by the time she was 14.
I think Rebecca Lizard was pretty sure of her sexual preferences by the time she was 14.I was too, though growing up in a WASPy New England small town, I too never EVER would have admitted it, even to myself. It's really amazing, when I think about it. I turned 14 in 1989 and graduated in 1993, and the level of homophobia was staggering. In my experience as a teacher, high school kids now are a lot more likely to be open about their sexuality than they ever were when I was in school. Not that being bi or gay is easy now, but I am so glad that it has gotten at least thinkable.
From what I have seen at my schools the kids seem pretty open about it. Things are a lot different as far as open discussion goes.
We had a number of adults in our neighborhood and my parents circle of friends that I knew were couples before I was old enough to give it much thought. We didn't talk about such things! But it wasn't considered odd either.
I think our school had one REALLY out, Alec Mapa-level flaming gay student, with all the others (including yours truly) remaining closeted. Oh wait, no, our Ashton Kutcheralike idiot that totalled six cars before graduation was involuntarily outed.
On my walk/run this morning I realized that Imogen Heap comes up on my nano every time I reach a certain point on the route, despite all the songs being shuffled. I hope this doesn't mean Mischa Barton is going to pop up from behind the Veterans Plaza sign and bust a cap in my ass.

Ha! There was a pretty great Sopranos parody that used that Imogen Heap: [link] (if you've managed not to be spoiled for the finale already, I don't need to tell you this is spoilery)
Oh, god. I wasn't sure what the song was, but when the vid reached that part I had to laugh. My only exposure to it has been TV shows.
I don't think so. It just seems younger now than it did, say, when I was 14.
Exactly--it's definitely younger to be OUT about it than people used to be, but...as everyone else said, if straight dating isn't bizarre at that age, neither is gay dating, really. Though I do get teh impression that a lot of the girls who do say in high school that they're bi don't necessarily end up dating women later in life. But whatev.
We win the internets! Err, the meara-nets!
Hee! Well, I'm looking all over, but the more I look, the LESS i feel ready to move! It's so scary!
NBC just broke into tennis to say that there was a bombing at the Glasgow airport.
