Yikes, I was first in the first 10 pages 21-30? I have no idea what I had so much to say about.

Just impulsively outed myself by calling myself an Irish lesbian in response to a joke my dad was telling. Nobody seemed to notice or ask what I meant when I said "me" to my dad's "What do you call an Irish lesbian?"

Gaelic (Gay lick).

Overheard some dude talking about "wet liberals." Confused, I made a joke about my "wet liberal," realized that didn't make sense, and then said "I'm gonna die alone." Living the life

I spent the final moments of the Obama years playing Super Mario 64 DS and listening to the credits of Mario Kart: Double Dash. I've been doing the exact same since, but mixed with watching Cheers as well.

1. Mull coming out as trans
2. Realize I'm living in North Carolina
3. Nope the f[inks] out of that
4. Repeat ad nauseum

I imagine if people knew just how many of their close acquaintances were trans, they might not be so keen to call them all molesters.

Eh, most of my close acquaintances IRL know I'm trans. It's the outside world that I'm afraid of.
EDIT: The Chelsea Manning thread Torie just closed, or, why I'm afraid to come out, reason #24602

Just cut my finger on an apple peeler. Must have lost like a liter of blood trying to clean it up.

Came out to my entire math class without them knowing. My teacher said something about how boys jump up to tap the projector, but girls don't, so I tapped the scissors on her desk, and joked (well, "joked") that since I'm tall enough to not have to jump, I must be a girl. The whole classroom laughed, presumably unaware that I actually am a girl.

Urgh. Sorry to hear that.

Just remembered I'm moving and getting the new Quantum Leap DVD (but not necessarily in that order).

Last night, I was watching iZombie with my family, and a character said he was into "really white girls." Sibling said "[they're] a really white girl," I impulsively said "same." Nobody noticed that I had just outed myself.

I have the coding skills to make a website that looks like it was made in 2000.

Currently about 70% sure I'm still alive.

Ditching a pep rally because A.F**k those stupid things, and B. My poor eardrums don't deserve to be ruptured.

You and me both, sister.

My chest was hurting and my heart and pulse felt weak. Got checked out by the nurse an hour and a half later, to learn that everything was fine.

Nicked my face trying to trim my sideburns. I cut myself with scissors in the wrong place.

Side-note: Band-aid won't stick.

3rd Rock From the Sun is making me think about coming out. Obviously, being an alien and being trans are apples and oranges, so I'm still not touching it with a 10-foot pole.

Shouted "me!" to Ravi on iZombie describing Liv as a "Single Very White Female." No reaction. If my parents know, they should at least tell me.

There's something about Mario Kart music that makes me much more high-energy.

I prefer Luigi myself.

I've been starving all day. Thank God I packed Goldfish.

Ripped off Buttigieg in an e-mail coming out to my parents (even though I've already done it to my mom). I feel like I should probably cut some of it, and also that I'm going to throw up, have a heart attack, and die at the same time.

I sent it, after realizing I don't have much to lose (at least, not from this directly). Best case scenario: The folks let me transition. Worst case scenario: The folks ignore it and I have to pretend to be a dude for the next 2 1/2 years, like I was going to originally, except now I don't have to deal with the awkward coming out thing - I already did it.
