    Whoa, all through school you never told anyone? :eek: That must've been tough.

    Oh, bless. I went nearly all through COLLEGE without telling anyone.

    Same, though for me it was mostly 'cause I genuinely didn't know I was "different" 'til I was already in college. I was always a bit slow on the uptake when it came to sexuality related matters; at the age when kids normally start thinking about sex I was still pleased I could tie my own shoelaces. :o

    I still tie shoelaces weirdly and sometimes it takes me two attempts...late bloomer in some regards, I guess. :P

    I'm loving the way AH are discussing us "gays". The gay AGM we all attended earlier in summer worked- the agenda is being furthered and is growing more and more successful. We'll soon turn all those straight people and live happily in our rainbow-coloured, sparkly utopia. Go team!

    Fed up with everything in my life

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    But would it not make you feel better to let what your feeling out, rather than keeping it in? Even if it takes time it might improve your mood, and i'm sure the people here would listen....

    No no.. summer holidays are not boring. When you leave college you have to work through summer holidays. That is truly unbearable. I was like a dog with my head hanging out an open car window as Friday approached.

    How are you doing now a week later? :) Sometimes everything seems horrible and then when you look at it the following week, yeah things are shít but it seems ok for some reason. At least that's how I feel a lot of the time. Ups and downs! Hope you're ok.

    I thought it was a stand-alone referendum? Is the other to do with setting up an appeals court between the high court and supreme court?

    I was on my way to get the luas this morning when I saw two lads on their balcony sharing a kiss. I thought it was great that they didn't mind who could see them from the street. I said 'Fair play to them!':)

    Never did get a chance to watch breaking bad from the start. Anyone vote on Friday. I didn't get a chance, but I was hoping the Seanad wasn't abolished as controversial as I may sound.

    Never watched Breaking Bad. I do understand your pain though. I get waaay overly involved with TV shows.


    When I was younger and imagined myself being 23, I almost certainly didn't imagine myself so obsessed with lesbian relationships existing only in subtext of badly written series and so in love with middle aged actresses.

    I am a woman, SO WHY IS RIZZOLI AND ISLES THE MOST IMPORTANT THING I HAVE GOING ON RIGHT NOW?!

    Yeah, I voted "No" on it. I don't believe that the government should be able to operate with no oversight. I was so shocked when the No vote won! Was delighted. Dublin saved the day! :D



    I'm rewatching Breaking Bad too, as it happens. Can't help myself. It, along with The Sopranos, The Wire, The West Wing and some others. My God, best TV shows ever. Love it.

    In an overly dramatic feeling to BB ending, I went on the scourge find a new TV show to watch.

    I came across Utopia of Channel 4OD - only 6 episodes but I have watched them all - very different kind of show - British, really well done though and I really liked it. It has been commissioned for a 2nd season.


    Also - found a love for Mad Men

    Well, at least if "Breaking Bad" is over, we have "Love/Hate" to keep us entertained! It's actually brilliant. It's me and Billy's Sunday night tradition now: pizza, popcorn and "Love/Hate". Such a pity it's only on for 6 episodes a season. It's quality! :D

    Just found out that there is an actual gay test. It's called the Kinsey Scale Test. I'm '6 - Exclusively Homosexual'!

    I had to take a quick survey about my age and how far I run in a week after it, but it did show the result without asking me to sign up or pay.

    You can take the test here: :)

    Off-topic bump 'cause I'm bored :D

    Been up since 6:30am and I had some weird dreams that kept waking me up during the night, so safe to say I'm half asleep right now, not fun :o

    On the topic of being up early. Haven't slept well in the last couple of months, going to bed between 5 and 7 in the morning, then getting back up between 9 and 10. Even waking earlier sometimes.

    I feel you Itzy. I'm going through terrible bouts of wakefulness at the moment. I work 9-5 Monday-Friday, I have college 6-10 Monday-Wednesday. I've fallen into an old routine of staying up until 2/3am writing and working away, sleeping for a few hours and then going about my day. I find it incredibly difficult to sleep alone.
