Hey NVC,
Congratulations on appearing in the documentary!

Yeah. I dunno, Im mainly scared/embarrassed by three things: a) potentially caught on camera saying something stupid, b) having old friends from school (i.e. people I dont like) being knobs on facebook, and c) being laughed at by my family.
My reponse is:
a) I'm pretty sure that the film company would be professional enough to omit anything that is silly, distasteful, or paints the lifestyle in a negative (or potentially negative) light.
b) If you don't like them, then why are they on your Facebook profile? I thought a friend is someone who likes you and will defend you, not stab you or make fun of you online.
c) This could be an opportunity to come out with your naturist interests to your family. Sure, they might find it amusing and a novelty to begin with, but once they see how normal it is they will most likely accept it (and who knows might even join you in it down the track).
I kind of trust in myself that I didnt say anything too bad, although hopefully the production company has edited it kindly. Slightly worried about which pronouns they are using for me, as I dont necessarily want to be outed as genderqueer to THE ENTIRE WORLD, but I dont think that is too big of a deal.
with b) ill probably just keep off facebook for a couple of days. to be honest, Im enough of an attention seeker that I'll probably love it.
and c) is an inevitable part of life anyhow. I should just suck it up!
That's the girl!
How did the nude swim party go down btw, or hasn't it happened yet?
Gotta hit the sack as it's nearly 11pm where I am!
