Homosexuality and Homophobia
   at 15:10 on Sat 8th May 2004
We've just been having a conversation on IRC about being gay and having gay thoughts. I just thought I'd share with you my thoughts on it all, since I've yet to find a bloke who really understands what I mean.

Most people who know me realise that I flirt with everyone and everything, despite their gender. Yet I'm straight and I don't fancy men. I've had and have plenty of close relationships with girls without fancying them or wanting to jump into bed with them. I can flirt, joke about and be totally relaxed with them, it's wonderful.

But when it comes to blokes, it's totally different. Absolutely different. Most blokes hate to be flirted with by other men. I guess it's part of the fun, when I flirt with my male friends. It provokes interesting reactions in some people. Why are men so frightened of having close relationships with their male friends? It's really silly and I think they miss out. It's nice to have best friends who you can do anything with, who don't feel uncomfortable with you being totally realxed.

Madness. I think I'd be better suited as a girl sometimes. It's just that I can't multitask.

Sir, nice to hear from you. Christ do I miss all our old lot from Hitchin. I'd do anything to go back and re-run the two years of A-Level again. I can't look back without grinning madly.

Hope things are going well for you, not too much exam stress and all that. :-)
