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.

Congrats Italy / Profile Problems

Alas, for the world cup is over, and no doubt the attractive potential lesbians shall withdraw from local pubs until Euro 2008. Congratulations to Italy, winning on some nail-biting penalties. I also preferred their blue strip.

I realise this is about the first time I’ve been on time with a blog for some time. With no study to avoid, or timetabled days, it all blurs into one to be honest. I am only really sure this is Sunday because I’m back from church. Sad – isn’t it?

I have just received an invitation in my little inbox from a friend I haven’t spoken to in at least a year, inviting me to join yet another profile site. As if Faceparty, Myspace, Hi5 and Bebo weren’t enough to be getting on with, Bingbox has now appeared as the ‘if you don’t sign up I may never contact you again’ websites.

I can’t really help but wonder what the purpose of these sites is. I admit I have pages on nearly all, just more proof that a bored straighttalker is a dangerous one.

Now in principle these sites are harmless. But they are so nosey it’s ridiculous. Myspace asks your sexuality but doesn’t display it if you don’t want to, Bebo doesn’t ask, but Bingbox just goes ahead and tells the whole world. I’ve just had to claim I’m a hetero. I’m being locked in a closet on the online world! Oh, and Bingbox won’t let me chose not to enter that field, AND it just emailed my whole msn list to tell them all.

Does your CV get posted around everyone you’ve ever met?
