I swear, I make online friends in the most random ways. First finding Penpal Mike on a discussion board. Then messaging YouTube Guy after seeing his coming out video. Now a new guy, let's call him Troy. A couple years ago, during the midst of my career indecision crisis, I stumbled upon a discussion group for people of the INFJ personality type. Troy had written a post about his massive career indecision, so I sent him a message. It had been a year since his post and I wanted to see what he ended up doing. Two years later, and he responded to me, wondering if I was still out there. I responded back and also added a bit about my sexuality confusion.
He responded soon after, saying we had to talk STAT! Turns out he's gay as well, but he's known since he was 15. So we've spent the last couple hours chatting on AIM (which I haven't used in ages). Talking about guys and Glee. Damn I feel gay right now, lol. He insisted I should continue dating guys. I opened up to him about the whole sex drive thing, how I straddle the border of asexuality. He was encouraging. As everyone tends to be. Still, good to have another friend in my corner.
I was generally feeling more positive today. I revamped my dating profile. Completely rewrote it to try to capture more of my personality, and added some more recent pictures.
Other than that, not much to report. Troy and I are now talking about the hotness that is Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki. But Darren Criss takes the cake for me, haha. Have a good weekend, blogosphere!

Thank goodness for small wins and little affirmations -- they pick you up when you least expect them.
I'm glad you are having a better day -- you deserve to catch some breaks. It's always nice to have someone you can share your concerns, the world seems less lonely and is more forgiving in such small ways.
Though we are far apart, I'm sending you a big, virtual hug!
Hope you are feeling better! My most recent celebrity crush is Ben McKenzie :)
