I have no idea why I am up so early when I don't have to be at work until 9 (it's 6:55 here, and I've been up since 5:20) I guess it will be a redbull kind of day. So my fellow bloggers here at Meow! 2016 (haha it's hard to keep a straight face while typing that. No offense Natalia!) have been very generous by opening up to potential internet creepers. Granted we are probably only attracting like 10% of Davidson's incoming class...but a girl can dream of having a fan base. Ha.
*snapping fingers to get to the point*
Anywhoo..I just want to take a huge leap of faith and share with [all of] you my major fear about going to college, which THANK HEAVENS my lovely roommate has calmed for me. So here it goes: I am bisexual. Which sometimes confuses people more than being a flat out lesbian. Haha. Living in Mississippi, I've received quite enough shit for it. However, I usually can just move away from it. Living with someone?? Not so easy to do that. I knew going in to this that Davidson is a very conservative school, which most of my friends and family are surprised that I picked it because of this fact. I didn't want to spend my freshman year with some crazy religious girl trying to save my soul or something. I'm not into that. I love LEARNING about religions. Not being in them.
I decided it would be a good idea to get my sexuality out of the way early with my roommate. I AM SO GLAD I DID. She was amazing about it. So I don't have to sit and wonder/worry about the conversation anymore. Granted it was through text, so the tone and everything can't be taken into consideration. But still. It was a huge weight lifted. I know everything probably won't be all hunky dory, and like probably all new roommateships, we will have kinks needing a good ironing. Now I just have to figure out how to politely, and oh so appreciatively, tell her that she's not my type.
P.S. I am open to any one's opinions as long as they are not hurtful. Also, don't be awkward about this. Anyone. Please and Thank you
Why do you have to tell her she's not your type? (and isn't she gonna see this blog) I'm pretty sure the days when people automatically assume gay people like basically everyone and wanna make them all gay are over.
ReplyDeleteAnd oh my god can I talk to you in private in regard to bisexuality? There are a few things I don't quite understand and you basically will be my first bisexual friend, if you want to that is
Hey Jourdan! No offense taken at all - Meow is still a "lame" name(I think there's still an opportunity to change it to something else like "ROAR! 2016", as Laina Cummer once suggested), but "Meow" is cute and catchy, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteAnyway...
I personally promise that you won't EVER receive any hurtful judgement from me about your sexuality! I like that you are so open about revealing it, as you should have no reason to do otherwise. Yes, there might be some stupid people who will judge you, but rest assured that you will find a bunch of others who will embrace you for who you are :)
Erik you can email me at joporter@davidson.edu. And you would be surprised what days are still here :/
ReplyDeleteNatalia thank you so much. And I very much love the name. It just makes me smile is all.
Personally, the more and more I read everyone's blog posts I feel like I'm getting to know you all little by little, and this of course when we meet will hopefully make us all into a tight knit group of friends.
ReplyDeleteSo my point to you Jourdan, is that with us you won't ever have to hide a thing, or worry about people being mean because I'm sure that when we're all together we wouldn't let anyone be assholes to you ;)
You all are amazing.
