"Exposing" my identity

This is something I wrote recently. A little backstory, as I wrote this mostly with my friends in mind: a few months ago I was at a party. Not a crazy party, just a group of friends getting together for a birthday. I only knew two people there. And I was challenged to get naked without being noticed. Nobody expected me to actually do it, it was a joke. But I decided, what the hell, and did it. This essay is about some of what was going on in my head at the time.

The two people I knew there had never seen me naked before, let alone the people I had just met. It was quite the experience. I'm good friends with all of them now, and since we're all the nerd type, it's a joke that the "time i've been naked around them" to "time i've been clothed around them" ratio is greater than one. It's also a bit of a joke that I do it sneakily. When people turn their attention in another direction, they'll look back and I'm naked. Just, y'know, normal things that happen with us now. =P

It is great that you have so accepting peers. Interesting how all it takes is a single moment of courage, too.

Not only very well written and fun to read, but this might just be a new source for inspiration. At the moment only one close friend knows of my secret life style and somehow that makes me feel like a stranger to them.
