    So this is only about when my close friends found out.

    Me and my friends were walking to the store to get drinks for the halo party I was having. It was pretty late, about 9 P.M., and we were just at the top of the hill and my then short friend Don (he towers over me now) asked me if he could look at my iPod. I let 'em have it, totally forgetting what was on it. So he starts looking through all the music and then stops in his tracks and just stares down. Jake, Dutton, Zack (Don's Brother) look back at him and see this dumbfounded look on his face... and I yelled outloud "Shit!!!" I had about 15 penises (my name for male porn models) in my photo library.

    He's like, "Ummmm, Michael... what is this!?!" I just stand there quiet-like for a moment and he's like, "Guys, look at this." And he shows everyone else. Zack is the first one to speak after Don.


    ***changing to script style ( I like dialogue so much better like this)***

    ZACK: Dude!! Michael... is there something you want to tell us!?!

    DUTTON: Michael what the crap is this!!!

    Michael is silent for a second and just looks at everyone.

    MICHAEL: Hey guys, I guess there's something I should tell you... [Michael hesitates] I'm Bi...

    There's not much time for a moment before Don speaks up

    DON: Wow, I totally didn't see that coming...

    JAKE: Oh my god, Michael!!!

    MICHAEL: I hope you guys aren't upset. I totally won't hit on you.

    ZACK: [without missing a beat] No, it's cool.

    MICHAEL: Really

    ZACK: Yeah, I've got plenty of other friends who are gay, well, bi actually.

    MICHAEL: What about you guys?

    Everyone gives their agreement except Jake who is hesitant

    DON: Wow, Michael, that's all I can say... [pauses] just wow.

    Everyone continues on down the road, slowly moving to another subject.

    ***End Script***

    We ended up discussing possible links between quatom physics and physics over a bond fire that night.

    So, Everyone is still my friend except Jake. He's totally insecure and I don't think he was able to handle it. It's just accured to me that I haven't talked to him since.:confused:

    Also, both Don and I really do use "totally" a lot in our speech, it wasn't a break in character.

    That... must have been weird.

    I would be outed not by my iPod's picture contents, but its music. I never show anybody my iPod, even though my gay friend says that my music "isn't that gay."

    I used to have some rather questionable pictures on my iPod myself. Nothing 18+, but nothing I would want other people to see. I eventually got nervous and erased them all, even though I never lend out my iPod to other people.

    No matter, it was a great story. At least it went well, right?

    Wow! Outed by an iPod!

    I knew Apple was evil. =P

    Anyway, glad it went pretty well with most of your friends, and I wish I could have been at your Halo party! (I'm a massive Halo fan)

    Damn your so lucky. If that happened to me and it ended up that almost all my friends were okay with it, lol i'd probably be happy that it happened in the first place. Your really lucky to have friends that are that easy going and are really understanding and cool with you being gay. :wink:

    Well, my friends are the oddballs of the school. You know, the group where everyone has little in commin except that we don't fit ANY of the clicks. So I guess acceptance was only natural. Imagine if I were a prep.... that's a scary thought. (atleast the ones I know) they're so unforgiving...

    You're 18, don't those cliques usually end by 15/16? It did in my school.

    Congrats on a fairly easy coming out, would have been hell awkward at the time though! :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    Well, that's good (I think). All except Jake seem accepting and perfectly ok with it. So about Jake...what do you think? He's insecure about himself, maybe he's gay/bi too? Or he just isn't accepting?

    I could never put porn on my cell phone or mp3 player, although it's nice to have on the go =P
    My friends are always looking through and messing with my stuff. They're nosy.

    I used to have porn on my Mp3 for a while, but then realized how useless it was for it to be on there, and because i was almost outed like you were on the forth of July two years ago because of that.
