And now, due to an interesting turn of events, I am out to my father.
You don't understand. This is the man who winced to see American Beauty and True Lies in the same country with me. This is the man who, due to a COMPLEX history, could not stand to be alone in the same room with me after I was eleven. The man who could not listen to me tell him how I felt about him at any age. The man who, assuming I have any understanding of love, heads the list of people I don't love particularly. Although I do recognise that he on occasion manages to surprise me with his efforts to explain that he loves me. I just...confuse him, by being a girl, but not six, and by being smart, but not interested in the same things.
So this is rather shocking to me.
I don't know what to do now...eat ice cream? Cry? Bang my head on the wall? All of the above?
