I have been. He's great - we've traded a number of emails. I'm impressed by the UM Outlaws. They definitely have their shit together.
Loved their website. Why have I not gotten any love? Did they forget I am queer as a three dollar bill, and brought it up on my resume, PS, DS and LSAC credentials?

It's super strange that no one contacted you from UM. They are in love with the homos at that school, it's so awesome! You should just send Dean Z a message and ask her to connect you with someone. She offered to do this for me a few months ago before the mass mailings to LGBT identified admits went out and it worked out really well. If only A2 was in a bigger city I think they would have had me sold!

Heh, I did, when she sent out the mass mailing to LGBT identified admits (I also said that I'd like to speak with other Hoyas and with other intl students). None of that happened. I wonder if it might be because I already turned in my deposit? (ED admit)

Question about the FB group: Would you prefer the group be secret?

Haha, that facebook group is like a double outing (in terms of gayness and also identity on TLS/in admissions cycle)

yep. i already admitted i was the one who started the TLS group. i don't really mind if anyone on TLS knows who i am IRL, as long as they have no bearing on my admissions cycle

Ok, group is now secret.
PM me if you would like to join.

No more double outings. Only TLS--> FB outing, heh.

/How do secret groups work? Will I have to add everyone who wants to join as a FB friend first to be able to send them the invite?

so the difference between this group and the top (and bottom) law school gays fb group is that this one is exclusively for the class of 2014?

i dont know if we'll have enough members to sustain a group. perhaps we should just meld with the existing one.

and yes, for secret groups, the admin must be friends with a person before they can be invited.

And the ratio of male to female (I think the little 2014 group already has more women than the 4x bigger TLS gays general group) :p

We'll play it by ear. If it dies a sad slow death, then so be it.

Paulina, could you include a mention of the group in the OP?

Glee's been a bummer so far this (half) season. Haven't watched the new episode yet. Favorite Glee episode? (Wheels, probably).

I really *want* to like Glee, but it just hasn't delivered. Of course, even suggesting that is blasphemy in some circles.

This season has been a BIG disappointment compared to last year. But I'm gonna keep on watching till I see Kurt and Blaine swap spit.

What was Rachel wearing this episode? (Look what you've done now; I'll probably end up being annoying with my Glee comments as I catch up on the episode without my residents/friends around.)

And why can't Brittana be real? (Please, Ryan Murphy?)

PS OMG, great discussion of bisexuality/biphobia within the LG community.
(Except for my great gay friend cheering along Kurt's every biphobic comment, heh.)

And now that Puck has slept with every female on the show, is it time for PuckleFinn?

Or Puck/Sam. I'd love to watch both of those (what kind of gay female am I, anyway?)

Um, it was sort of amazing. I am all up on Darren Criss when he's out of his suit -- those skinny jeans and that cardigan were doing things to me.

This is going to sound pretty lame but I was traveling for work last week and missed SO much TV...this rainy weekend in SF will be dedicated to catching up. Also...woah now, Brittana is totally real, just give it time... I think their arc is supposed to start within the next 4 or 5 episodes.
