F***book

Ok, so I signed up. I didn’t really want to but I did and it’s done and let’s not go over it again.

One of the annoying things about F***book is that it finds a way to dredge up all the old high school people that you never really liked. I mean, sure, we sat next to each other in Math once but it’s not like we high-fived when you solved the question on the board. Our interactions together extend only to some vague geographical commonality. Frankly, if we are supposed to be friends then by all means I should be friends with the grumpy dude at the airport who patted me down for instruments of terror (e.g. the trombone).

That being said… :D

Every time one of these old high school guys manages to track me down, I click through to their profile and I wait with quiet anticipation. I want their profile to say, “Interested In: Men” because a little part of me WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED IF EVERYONE IN THAT HIGH SCHOOL TURNED OUT GAY. The sexual frustration in that all boys school was palpable; assuming the word “palpable” means “bi-curiosity through desperation”.

But so far, it’s 0 for 5. Dammit.

More?

Hehehe finally a blog post I can relate to! Don’t worry! At least TWO people from your high school will turn out to be gay, at least thats what I found when I signed up to MySpace and a few people from my high school days tried to contact me. Don’t lose hope Jack! Their out there :-)

I was going to argue, but then I remembered 12G (or whatever the “homo-g” crowd was). Daaaamn. Puts a whole new spin on what “ethos” really means.

Good times though.

Well, I remember someone telling me that the class was nicknamed “homogenius” or something along those lines. To be honest, that’s not much of a compliment because 1) it has the prefix “homo”, 2) there’s no such word and 3) that would imply that they are the sort of common everyday genius.

My belief is that the word was really “homogeneous” which means something along the lines of being terribly similar to one another in both looks and behavior. That is to say, they were all skinny nerds doing 3 sciences, 2 maths and accounting whilst studying piano and violin on the side.

So no, they wouldn’t turn out gay. They’re far too afraid to piss off their parents.

Don’t make that face. It implies you’re weirded out by people coming out of the closet.

Instead, provide context so people can understand why you are weirded out. Context like:

  • “He tried to ask me out”
  • “I saw him at the pride parade wearing nothing but leather belts”
  • “He drives an SUV”

That way, you don’t seem full-blown homophobic.

come off it, how the hell does that say homophobic? I meant that in the sense “I’ve seen one (but I’m not going to say who)”
