Our wings are not tired.

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.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

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)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

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.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

Yeah, girlfriend in Glasgow. Wah.

Somebody drove a burning car into the terminal.

That's what it was. Something nutty.

There was two people in the van, they tried driving the van (looks a bit like an A-Team one, heh) into the terminal. They ramed the doors but didn't get through. It went up in several explosions. The drivers got out and started fighting with people outside the terminal. Both have been arrested.

Doesn't look like anybody died. Third carbomb in two days in the UK.

Back to the gay talk, I didn't even know such a thing existed in high school. Why, yes, if you opened a dictionary to the word clueless during the 70s, my picture would have been in it. Living in an isolated rural area and never talking about sex with your kids does keep them sheltered.
