Homeboi's Diary

I've had access to the Internet for many years and undergone quite a few changes of name and character to my online persona. I want to try and explain a bit about the origins of homeboi70. As they say, never judge a book by its cover and never presume anything about anyones name!

The real me, when I was younger never really liked to get out much always prefering to spend time at home rather that doing the typical youth thing of playing out with mates. Having said that, if you'd have seen some of my mates at the time you'd probably agree that spending time at home was more entertaining. A close friend of my Mum used to refer to me as 'the home-bird' as she could see that I wasn't comfortable being away from the protection of my home. Being quiet and skinny probably didn't help me much get away from this.

Homebird kinda stuck until I realised at a certain age that 'birds' we female, and I definately knew that I wasn't one of them! No disrespect. I couldn't call myself 'homeboy' as I knew that that had other meanings and described a person who's background and origins were definately not me.

By age 13 I knew that I wasn't straight and ended up with my first fella. I don't talk about him because there's seriously bad blood between us. So I got refered to as 'homo-boy'. Which I didn't like. I've never liked 'labels' and so being classed as 'homo' I found quite insulting. I am a person, not a description.

The '70' part of the name was not of my choosing. That can be attributed to Hotmail. I wanted '69' as an indication of my love of oral sex, but some cunt had apparently already beaten me to that one, so '70' it was. It's like a surname, I suppose, in that I never refer to it myself. The homeboi grew out of the idea that my online personality was different from my real life personality. I wanted to get myself away from the timid creature that I once saw myself as. Time progressed and the real me began to see that everything I wanted to be with Homeboi was already there, it just needed a push to the surface. Today I know that I'm stronger than I used to be because I've learned how to force myself to do the things I never thought I'd be able to.

Six words that go some way to represent my character: Mysterious, Sexy, Inteligent, Loyal, Unpredictable, Caring.
