a description of the amazing and exciting adventures i have here in baltimore--- and other lies.

 
Saturday was National Coming Out day. This day is designed as a safe day, one in which closeted individuals are encouraged to pronounce themselves as gay, thus freeing themselves from psychic shackles. The safe day provided is for those to accept people as who they are, and it is in this spirit that my friend, Miss T., says that NCOD is not just for gay people; it is for everyone. He says it is just as appropriate, on this day, to come out as something you are not now, but wish to be. So, for example, if you are overweight, you can "come out as a thin person." If you are restless, you can "come out as a traveler." If you are unhappy, you can "come out as contented person" --- if that is your desire. And Miss T. says you can use all week to do this if you want.

So, what do you want to be? Me, I am coming out as an insanely wealthy, world travelling philanthropist.
