So to start off, I had a shower, styled my hair, the usual stuff. Just after that, I tried to clear my throat and ended up vomiting. I was so taken back by it, I just looked at myself in the mirror and said "That's not a good omen..."
Then, I went to college, did all the uninteresting boring stuff and went to my History class, where I'm one of only two boys of a class of about 18. I'm sat in a corner surrounded by five girls that I talk to a lot in class. I just decided to just listen to music for the first half hour or so, when I suddenly heard the two girls I talk to the most talking about going on Omegle and seeing... well, you can probably guess. Anyway, I took my earphones out and asked them about this, as I only heard the middle of this conversation. They laughed and then one of them had this conversation with me (G being them, M being me):
G: Well, everybody likes a bit of ****, don't they?
M: Well, no. Not necessarily.
G: You do, don't you?
M: Wait, what!?
G: Oh, I thought you were gay! *laughs*
I ended up taking that personally like an idiot and I just put my earphones back in. Even though that girl hugged me when the lesson ended, I still took it seriously and was in a bad mood for all of my lunch break. I was looking fairly pissed at everyone in town and they were giving me weird looks as well. I wanted to talk about this with some other friends who are usually in college today, but they weren't and this put me in an even worse mood. So I went for a walk and sat on a fire escape for a while, thinking why they thought I was gay which escalated into "Wait, am I gay? I mean, last sociology lesson I realised I'm actually fairly feminine, but then again, there's this other thing, etc", which made me end up missing the first
hour and a half of my Philosophy class, which was OK. I ended up talking to somebody about how they called somebody an isotope and how they were really offended because they thought they were calling them fat, which was really funny considering this guy is probably the most awkward guy I've ever met.
After that, I finished college, talked to some other friends about how doing A levels is my punishment for being terrible on my last course and how Disney would ruin the Terminator franchise even more and then I bumped into another friend who thought I was going to punch them because I was still in an awful mood, then I finally caught my bus home.
But then on that bus journey home, I had a revelation. I was wondering why those girls thought I was gay and I realised it's probably because the two main things they know about is that I like musicals, specifically the movie
Cabaret with Liza Minnelli, and that I sometimes wear girls' T-shirts to school. I also realised that I was getting looks in town because I was scowling at people while I'm wearing a T-shirt that has Charlie Brown wearing a
Friday the 13th hockey mask that says 'Death To Everyone'. When I remembered this, I thought "Oh yeah.
That's why..." and I just couldn't stop smiling.
(I feel I should elaborate it's not ridiculously girly clothing, in fact it's mainly unisex T-shirts that my sister used to wear. I remember when I told one of them this, she looked really shocked and when I replied with "If it looks good, it looks good, right?", I got bemused looks from everyone in the class. Looking back at it, it's absolutely hilarious.)
So, yeah. As my mum put it, "Today was quite a gay day".
