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.

Read All About It


For the first time in a while I’m going to do a slightly more serious post, yet again apologies for content that is lacking slightly. I guess my life has been pretty well shaken up recently, and it’s harsh to be grounded by the bigger picture.

It’s been easy for me to ignore the outside world, and I know many students do. With so much on, so much work and play to be getting on with, it’s easy to miss things like the news.

I’m running on empty at the minute – it comes from not actually having any food in the fridge, and my money draining out of my account faster than I should be able to stop it.

I’ve been trying to keep up with the news – I really have. But simple luxuries like a television are sorely missed. I want to be keeping up with the Northern Ireland news, as this is another crucial time for the ‘peace process’ there – with big talks, some big issues to be thrashed out, and a deadline fast approaching. I also want to start following my local news, about what’s happening in and around Leicester – the free paper on the bus serves me well for this – if I can get one.

For those of you who aren’t familiar with the fabulously informative Pink News (http://www.pinknews.co.uk/), I fully recommend it as an excellent source. Perhaps shorter, yet still not bad is http://www.rainbownetwork.com/ - which isn’t the best for news, but has good reviews, scene guides and the like.

I’ve always been a bit of an anorak in keeping up with current affairs I admit. BBC News homepage all the way!
