Research
One part of "coming out to the world" actually consists of doing just that - going out and announcing my presence on the www. For this purpose I went and enlisted myself on three popular blog directories, using keywords such as... duh... "bisexual", and "coming out".
Hey! It's a first step! And I never before openly proclaimed myself as a bisexual and tried to draw attention to me based on this label, so the mere act of punching those words in in relation to me felt sort of weird. Now imagine me actually approaching real life people as opposed to the most anonymous media in the world? lol
At the same time I did some research on these locations, looking for other bisexual bloggers. I was surprised to find a myriad... and so I went and randomly picked some (mainly based on visual appeal), and listed them here. My next step is to contact each and every one of them and say hello, hoping to lure them over here in the process, make new online acquaintances, and whatnot.
Speaking of bisexual bloggers and online acquaintances: I want to take the time and put a special girl on a well-deserved pedestal. I came across her when I was new to blogging (about 2 years ago) when she had a blog that mainly dealt with the hardships of her helpdesk job and the horror that were her clients. However, this particular entry that greeted me incidentally happened to be about her being a bisexual, and I guess that was what sucked me in from the get-go, even though I was still rather ambiguous and vague even to myself about myself then. I became an insta-groupie and have since followed her faithfully from domain to domain. We soon became friends, her living in Australia and me being in the United States and all, and what makes her so special to me is that she's been there for me with advice and support whenever I randomly decided to ramble her into the ground with my issues and my half-assed attempts at identifying as what I am over the past two years.
She's gorgeous, and she's smart, and she's funny, and her name's Ren. Well, online name, anyway. And I swear, Jo or not, if she'd live anywhere within my easy reach, she'd be the one to pop my bisexual cherry, no questions asked.
Actually... come thinking of it, in a way she did. *smirks* I remember this one day a long time ago when I was at the computer, and she was at the computer, and one thing lead to another, and... heh. At least on my end I know that the room temperature rose a few degrees and I had to wipe the steam offa my monitor... *laughs*
Either way, whether she's aware of it or not, and whether she wants to be or not, she has inevitably turned sort of into my "guru" in all things bisexual. Or my therapist. Or both. At any rate I just wanna take this opportunity to thank her and send a big-ass smooch her way.
*smooch*
Love ya, girl.
