Don't worry. :D
A secret signal would be awesome! As for types of signals, I'm kinda on the same boat as you. I mean, possibly a wink or something? I don't know, LOL. That actually sounds kinda sexual if every gay started winking at each other as means of saying hello or something. It's weird for me because I definitely want friends who are like me, but I also don't think I'm ready to come out to my parents just yet, and if they see me or hear me talking about my "gay" friends, what are they gonna think? But they're gonna have to find out eventually. I'm definitely not going to be closeted my entire life. I honestly don't think gay girls can relate to gay guys as much as guys would to guys and girls to girls. & yeah, that stereotype is wayyyyy too annoying. Seriously, I've only actually seen/heard a few select gay people who act like that, and those are usually the extremely flamboyant ones who would have rather been born a girl/are making that transition, lol. I personally like who I am and what I was born with so I'd never think about getting a sex change or anything like that. @

He's been talking to like everyone around him, so maybe I'll be able to pitch in a hello or something. You're right.. it doesn't really hurt to say hi to spark a convo. My parents do that same crap to me, too! Seriously, they jump to the most extreme conclusions whenever I do something nice for a girl or something. They need to get with the times, lol.
I saw the video! That was suuuuuper creepy! The way she spoke throughout it seriously made me cringe. I know she may have a slight difficulty speaking English, but she seriously did not have to speak in that creepy, low tone of voice she was using. It was almost as if she was just screaming for attention posting that video. Like if she's been rejected irl and doesn't have anywhere to resort to except to her "Directioner" family, lol. That was just a weird video overall, and I actually sat through that whole thing dying for it to end! Haha.
I'm also a huge fan of pop! I would say I'm very mainstream when it comes to the music I hear. Anything on most of the major radio stations (that play pop, RnB, etc.), I pretty much know by memory. Did you like will.i.am.'s collab with Brittney on Scream and Shout? I kinda liked the song but I felt it could have been better. Too clubby for me. xD Anyways, to name a few artists I like, probably One Direction (obviously), Rihanna, Brittney Spears, Taylor Swift, the Biebz, Pink, Kesha, David Guetta, some Drake, etc. I've never really been interested in Indie music, but I heard Lana Del Rey is pretty good? My taste is also very messy. Seriously, I'll listen to practically anything that's out for the exception of like hardcore rap or country. Btw, do you know French/have relatives from France? x)
I didn't know all that about The Wanted. I'm surprised I've never searched up how they actually got started. That's pretty insane that they pretty much got famous because they were given lots of time on the radio. I mean, they're okay, but kinda overrated now. The funny thing is that they're not even that famous now anyways. Most people don't even know who they are, especially here in the States.
The actual only real story I've heard was from an Irish friend I had and apparently he was in some pub and everyone was drunk as hell, and he got into a fight with another drunk guy over something (I forgot what it was), and they pretty much got kicked out. The story exemplified pretty much a typical night in a bar/pub around the world, lol. I hope I didn't generalize too much! I never saw the pic of your drunk Prime Minister. I'll search it up! The media is terribleeee here, too. They sensationalize everything and turn small events into huge ones. They're pretty much ruining society and like brainwashing everyone. I like it sometimes, but I also hate it. I don't drink at all. I'm not even the legal age (which is 21 here and I'm almost 19), but I know people my age drink a ton here. I think people believe that drinking is the only way you can have fun with friends or just on a night out. It's not. There are soooo many other things you could do to have fun while staying sober.
Well, depending on the category, severity and strength of the hurricane, we usually stay in our house or just go to a shelter if it's bad. We've never gone to a shelter before, and I can't imagine staying in a shelter during a hurricane, but a lot of people do because it could get dangerous if you're staying in your actual house and don't have adequate protection. Luckily, our house/cars/property didn't face
significant damage during both Katrina and Wilma, but we did have a screen in the backyard break out and a window break, but that's typical. Now we have shutters so all of our windows and doors are protected. It's actually kinda boring during a hurricane because all you'll hear is intense wind and rain and you just gotta stick it out till it's over. A typical hurricane can last from like 6 - 24 hours depending on its speed. I think Katrina lasted about 10 hours and Wilma left quickly, lasting maybe like 5 hours? Hurricanes don't occur in all of the U.S., though. It usually only happens to the states that border the coast, so pretty much all of the outer states
could get a hurricane. There are a lot of factors, though, that determine where hurricanes go.
Thanks for being such a kind spirit about the long replies. X)
