Straight Talking
About Me


Name::straighttalker05
From::Northern Ireland, United Kingdom
I'm an avid dreamer. I have big ideas, and I'll probably take them somewhere. Watch this space. I want to present what I think - and not with words minced up into an acceptable platter. Some things need to be told straight - particularly gay rights. Particularly life in the closet, it's very nature means no one hears it. If they do it's usually tinted with nostalgia. I'm confident, I know what I like and what I don't. Please don't confuse this for arrogance. I'm probably more insecure then you imagine.

Society and it's Prizes.


A glance at the notice board in the sixth form common room in school perhaps betrays more about society’s values than you may presume. Admittedly the note which says ‘DO NOT LEAVE FOOD ON TABLES” is not hiding any profound meaning, however slightly to the right of this garish command is a far more exciting notice, or rather 3 pages of notices and an A3 colour poster.

Yes, It’s that time of year again – Miss Northern Ireland. An excited group of girls buzz around the normally empty wall to dream that they may be too pretty to bother with A levels like the rest of us mere mortals. The attached application form asks for ‘dress size’ – 14+ need not apply?

Yet, more exciting is the prise list, a brand new corsa, free manicures, free fake tan and hair styling for a year, free fitness and life coaching and 6 new formal dresses! Sign me up!

Sadly, underneath this loud notice (and generally unregarded by all) is a sad black and white notice, which obviously has no graphic designer on its team.

“Poetry Competition – Prize £40”
