Coming out of the closet

wizardzz

I'll be mature here. Congrats, I recently came out to the Lounge as a struggling comedian, which I have learned, is often as difficult and awkward to tell people. Did you recently come out in your life, too? Or is this just a CP outing? I shared a room with a gay dorm-mate in college, who was closeted, he knew that I knew, but I could see it was not easy. Also, where is your italicized quote in your profile from?

No not really. But, if he had mentioned it casually, not made it the subject of a thread, then I wouldn't object.

Indirectly mentioning it or showing it is ok. It's only natural to be who you are.

Great! Does that mean you can advise me on soft furnishings? ;) :-O Sorry, you know I have to turn everything into a joke! I'm pleased that you felt OK to tell us, I think that must have been tough. Nothing will change for me. :rose: ... except maybe the odd cushion question. ;)

I did say struggling On that note, don't try to perform comedy on the 10th anniversary of 9-11.

It is more comfortable to sit on with her tail?

There has to be a joke there somewhere, I just can't get it tidy enough.

Well as compensation you get a genuine LOL for that.

There was an open mic last night, nobody was really in a great mood. I'm not sure if others can verify, but at least in a major city like Chicago, there was a solemn mood pretty much everywhere. I, for one, think laughter is the best therapy.

Well, that wasn't my aim, but I wouldn't say 'no'...

That's not what you said. You may have intended for your statement to be taken that way, but the "you want a medal" comment is pretty much never meant as anything other than a snarky remark.

I wasn't, now I am, then I won't be anymore.

Well, I think that response will suffice. :)

Dalek Dave

Damn I missed it until you pointed it out!
