Something a little scary...

[semperfiona]

When talking with different people about my own realization of my
sexuality, I keep remembering my college friend Lora, with whom I had a
late-night conversation about whether or not we were or might be bi. We
both said something about being willing to find out...and then got
scared of the obvious next step and ran away from the whole
conversation. So I googled her name a few weeks ago, and I find an out
bi poly chick, working at IU. I just emailed her to ask if she's that
same Lora. I tried to give enough context that she'd remember me, enough
present day to try to make myself sound interesting, but not so much
that it'd overwhelm a complete stranger or be annoying if she wasn't
interested in getting back in touch. We shall see.

I had a great experience with this a year or so ago - an old friend from hs that I wanted to tell that I'd come out. She came out ot me in HS, but I didn't know what to say. It went really well and we'reback in egular contact now.

Good luck!

You are a very brave person.

I have absolutely no desire to revisit my past... for one thing, I know what a twit I was in my formative years, and I have no desire to relive that twittitude through the lens of other's memories of me. I'm much more comfortable with the adult that I have grown into.

I think I knew her just as I was coming out of the twit phase, so it might be okay. ;-)

Oh yay! Go you! I'm still hoping that I'll find the mysterious link that puts me back in touch with the one person I insanely want to see from high school.

Let us know what happens?

So... Has anything come of it?

Not yet. :-/
