Habituating myself to virtue... aka OH BOY THIS IS GONNA BE MESSY!

This year at Suffolk is probably going to be defined by two things: First, having very little money and getting a crash course in budgeting and personal finance, and second, sticking my neck out and being more daring.

The second one is mostly coming about consciously, and the current project is trying to be less closeted. I know people are thinking, "You're CLOSETED? What're you talking about?! You say it on your LJ profile and The Facebook!*" but my online persona and offline are different in that respect. The online version what I'd like to be, but the fact is that in real life I'm not out to my dad's family, my roommates or a good percent of the college community (though truth be told if most of those haven't at least suspected it by now then they seriously need glasses and/or a clue). It was actually a bit of a *headwall* moment when I was thinking earlier and came to the conclusion that yes, at college I am for all intents and purposes closeted, and it is a big frickin problem.

( Why this is so and what I'm going to do about it )

So that's more or less my goal this year. *deep breath* I can do it.

* My philosophy professor, who is awesome, actually teaches a course on Facebook, refers to it as "The Facebook" and now I'm copying her because I thought it was hilarious.

*facepalm*

Oh, and in response to that last post, my Pandora Radio and/or the Universe is clearly screwing with me. The very next song that came up after I posted that?

True Colors by Phil Collins. Which, for those who don't know, includes such lyrics as "I see your true colors / And that's why I love you / So don't be afraid to let them show..."

Okay, I get it!
