I'm not the most popular girl at my school (not even freaking CLOSE) and I'm alright with that. The only downside: I don't get asked to go out on dates. I'm holding out for when I get to college, but it would still be nice to go places (like dances and such) with a date. This year, my friend Desiree and I remembered a little joke we made last year about going to homecoming together if neither of us had dates. She's bisexual, but I'm straight so of course we would only be going as friends. I asked her to homecoming this year (as friends; again, let me emphasize that I don't bend that way) and we had a big laugh-fest about it. We even agreed that I would wear something resembling a tuxedo (personally, I want to wear a bow tie [bow ties are cool], suspenders, funky gloves, tuxedo pants, a dress shirt, and hopefully some stilettos [I don't want to butch it up completely!] and then I would want to style my hair like Adam Lambert.) I told my mom about the idea, and she has a problem with it because she doesn't want me to look like a lesbian. I like menswear, my hair is shorter than most of the guys at my school wear, and I'm a very gay-rights-oriented person: THAT DOESN'T MEAN I'M ON TEAM RAINBOW, PEOPLE!
That doesn't stop me from wondering if Desiree and I are going too far with this. I don't personally think we are, but some people might not see it like that. I''m not a know giver of fucks, but it still concerns me that my mother may think I'm a lesbian. She hasn't openly wondered this, but it's a personal worry of mine. I love the homosexual men and I have no problem with the homosexual women, but I'm not one of them! I'm not going to change who I am, but I can't help but wonder how I can assure my mother...
Happy fangirling!!
