Double Whoop!

1st Birthday Cake

The Freezing Flames turned an year old on the 5th of June. What's more, this is my 100th blog post. I've come a long way since my poor excuse for a first blog post and am quite happy to have gotten into blogging. The blogosphere is a dynamic, vibrant and interesting place to be in. It has also helped me make such awesome friends. I want to thank each and every one of my audience members for managing to digest my trash for one whole year without puking, fainting, falling sick or dying. You're the best!
:D

I know that I've been pretty quiet lately. I don't post much and I also have a backlog of emails to be replied. The only places I've been active on are Twitter and my feed reader. Somehow, I'm going through some sort of chronic selective network withdrawal.

Anyway, here are a few random updates on my life...

  • I've decided upon coming out to my sister, long distance. I told you about my suspicions that she suspects. More recently, she:
    • discovered more LGBT artists in my music collection
    • expressed her support for LGBT equality
    • has hesitantly shared with me her plans for staging a lesbian wedding on The Sims 3
    • fished around a bit for information on my virtual life
    • watched Milk and loved it
    • asked me to be not like Lucas but like Ellen, i.e. not transition but remain a tomboy/butch dyke
    • is as excited as I am about an upcoming movie about The Runaways starring Kristen Stewart as Joan Jett who, we all know, is queer.


    I'm almost completely sure that she knows. So, it's a waste not telling her and getting over with it already. The only problem is that I am unable to come up with exactly how to go about it. A phone call is the most viable option. How about, "Hey, you probably have guessed it already but I'm queer. Not just gay. Queer. And yeah, I agree that the Jonas Brothers suck. Bye."

  • The binder that was a gift from my very generous and thoughtful friends is working out great for me. I no longer have to endure any kind of pain. The rib ache and back ache are gone, gone, gone. Thanks a lot, guys!

  • My eyesight has deteriorated even more. Any tips on improving it?

  • My grades have dropped very sharply. I associate it with procrastinating and not studying. I feel terrible.

  • My room needs tidying up and my shoes need cleaning.

  • My academic reputation which has been biting dust since May 2008 needs to be earned back again.

  • I've been having sudden cravings for:


That's all for now. Cheers! ^_^

happy one-year blog birthday! i'm glad you entered the blogosphere, too. re: your sister, it does sound like it's time to come out. my two cents: acknowledge that you think she might suspect, but explain that you want to be honest, b/c you love & trust her. tell her she can ask you whatever questions she needs to, now or later, as they come up. also, plan ahead for if she asks if she needs to keep this a secret from the rest of your family: you want to have an answer ready for that one.

now, go do your homework! ;)

Deteriorating eyesight? Only one solution... Contact Lenses! I only just got inducted :)
Good to hear your sister's being such a gem! I cannot count on mine for any mature support, even though she's lots older...

Happy blogiversary and 100th post. I'm glad you started blogging and very happy to know you through the internet.

Good luck with your sister, it sounds like she's a good kid. I agree with Leo's advice. If she knows she can ask you anything and you'll give her an honest answer it will only strengthen your relationship.

When I have to communicate something really serious or intimate.. I use virtual media.. can't ever say the things face to face... Email is good i think

Happy Belated Birthday to you and Happy 100th post to your blog. :)

It has been a pleasure reading you all this while but yeah, I do miss your post at times when you disappear suddenly after posting one. I understand studies keep you busy.

About the random stuff, if you are convinced...go ahead and confess.. and for the grades, well they are the reason you are, where you are. I am sure with some hardwork, you will make it to the top again.

Wish you all the best for that.. I am sure you'll rock the grades boat well..hehe

Take Care and Stay Happy gal!
