itt post anecdotes

[rattlesnakeacrobat]

post your personal tales of glory/horror/bewilderment/etc.

they need not be particularly funny or interesting. they need not even necessarily be true (but if you're gonna post a fake one, like, at least try to sell it. smh.)

i'll start with one of my classics:

i'm a lesbian but when i was in middle school i didn't know that and i somehow managed to convince myself that i had a crush on one of the boys in my class (this kind of thing happens to lesbians more often than you'd think). all my other girl friends had crushes on boys, and they were almost universally too scared to actually talk to said boys, so to prove i wasn't a PUSSY like them i ran up behind my "crush" in the hallway after lunch, tapped him on the shoulder, proclaimed "I HAVE A CRUSH ON YOU" and then turned around and fucking left before he could say anything. like, i was turning around before i had even finished talking. i'm a real fuckin chad, i know.

I have nothing to offer but my own lesbian anecdotes. Hopefully this won't oversaturate the market

So I originally came out to my parents via Stardew Valley. My mum walked in on me playing it and saw I was married to Abigail (yeah I had basic bitch taste when I was younger). Then in the car on the way to school she asked if I was gay, I said yes, she was cool with it (thank fuck), anecdote over

Except its not actually over, because fast forward to a few months ago I was playing Stardew Valley again, this time with my younger sister bc co-op is now a thing. I, now a fully fledged lesbian with actual good taste, announced I would be going after Leah. My sister replied "Hey, Alba, why do you keep marrying the women??" As it turns out, I forgot to actually come out properly to her. She'd just assumed I'd always courted the ladies as some elaborate joke - which, in all fairness, is very in character for me

So later that night she came into my room bc my dog wanted to come in, and I just gave her the ol finger guns and said "Yo btw, I'm gay." Cue mild shock and alarm, she turns around and asks "What, in real life?"

Also I don't know how to fit this into the previous anecdote organically but the next morning I woke up and went into the kitchen, where the rest of The Fam ™ was, and the first thing she said to me was, "Hello gay girl."

TLDR; Stardew Valley is a good game and younger siblings are wild

And by the way, you know, I sit on the stand, and it gets hot. I got hairy legs that … turn blonde in the sun and the kids used to come up and reach in the pool and rub my leg down so it was straight and watch the hair come back up again. They’d look at it. So, I learned about roaches, I learned about kids jumping on my lap, and I’ve loved kids jumping on my lap.
