Dance 4 Life
I remember doing this a while ago, but the post has long been lost in my archives. So I'm sitting here with a nice cup of noodle soup, ready to plough through this again. These, my beloved readers, are 100 things about me - enjoy.
  1. I'm a little annoyed that I can't find my original list.
  2. I've just been baking and there is a lovely smell of vanilla around the house.
  3. Oddly enough, my mum loves vanilla but doesn't like the smell of vanilla cookies.

  5. I have an even weirder relationship with my siblings.
  6. I much prefer the company of my friends.
  7. I tend to ramble a lot when I speak.
  8. I love being gay.
  9. No really - I don't think I would trade it in for anything.
  10. Though at one point in my youth I wished I was straight like my friends.
  11. I cried a lot over being different from other boys.
  12. In time, I would learn to embrace my sexuality and celebrate being different.
  13. I could knit a scarf at age 9.
  14. This worried my mum quite a bit.
  15. I've learnt that even a really good friendship can have a sour moment.
  16. My friends are the family that loves me for not being straight.
  17. I owe a lot to the people who've brought me back to sanity.
  18. At one point I tried to take my life.
  19. Apparently, God had other plans for me.
  20. I look back on that event and realize how stupid and cowardly it was.
  21. I am a Facebook junkie.
  22. I'm also a gaming nutter and spend too much time on my consoles.
  23. After 9 years I finally deleted my gaydar profile.
  24. And I'm having withdrawal symptoms.
  25. I'm an average cook but to this day I can't make proper apple pie.
  26. I'm as camp as they come and a true bitch at heart.
  27. But I'm a terrific 'people person'.
  28. Do you doubt that, bitch?
  29. I believe in the power of prayer.
  30. I've been praying for a husband for about 6 years.
  31. I love chocolate.
  32. I was often bullied at college because of my sexuality.
  33. I have learned to forgive those people.
  34. In school, I was the person who sat right in the front and answered every question.
  35. My friends loved me for that because that meant the teacher never picked on them.
  36. I once slapped a boy in school for calling me a girl.
  37. That guy is now on my Facebook.

  43. I don't remember names - I remember outfits.
  44. I'm a tea lover.
  45. I'm Indian, gay, and Catholic - could life get any more complicated?
  46. According to my mum, I have a wedding fund in the bank.
  47. I wonder if she would let me have the money even if I wasn't getting married.
  48. She would probably give it to Mother Teresa than to her gay son.
  49. I have met some truly amazing men in my life.
  50. And a variety of psychos.

  57. Growing up I never could decide what I wanted to do as a career.
  58. To date, I have dabbled in interior design, art, marketing, IT, and even massage.
  59. That last one was just something to bring in extra pocket money.
  60. It still does bring in extra pocket money.

  100. I am, on many occasions, thankful that I'm me.

Like your honest thoughts (and they way you express them). I confess being a bit homophobic whilst growing up in the UAE - however exposure to a lesbian couple here in NYC, helped realize, they are people too, with feelings, integrity and the need to be loved have a family and all, like anyone else. Trying and understanding them helps remove fears and prejudices, well to an extent.
