The Theme Of This Entry Is 'Riona Shouldn't Be Allowed To Make Entries'.
From the article in which Derren Brown very quietly came out in September 2007:
You should always come out; life is so much easier. People generally aren't as bothered by your intimate secrets as you are. It took me being in a relationship with a guy for a month before I told anyone I was thus inclined.
I probably shouldn't, but I really, really want mildly angsty fanfiction about Derren coming to terms with his sexuality. I like to think that he didn't actually realise he was gay until he was well into his thirties, and that he became quite angry with himself for taking so bloody long to work it out. I like to think that he couldn't quite suppress his Christian guilt, despite having shaken off his Christian beliefs years ago. I like to think that Derren still thought of himself as straight for about two weeks into his first gay relationship.
I like to think that I am not a bad person despite wanting people to write stories about a real person's sexuality angst, but I have a suspicion that this may be too much to hope for.
In other news: erm. All right. I have been trying to put this off with entries about Avatar and Doctor Who and Derren Brown, but I suppose it had to happen eventually.
You see, I visited![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
th_esaurus a couple of weeks ago, and she showed me some things, and, er.
Er. Well.
I find myself sort of charmed by the Jonas brothers.
I'm so sorry, guys.
(SHE SHOWED ME KEVIN'S RIDICULOUS SOS DANCE. HOW WAS I SUPPOSED TO RESIST THAT DANCE?
Also, Nick Jonas looks like he could be the Doctor. And Kevin has a tendency to rub himself against Joe whilst they perform in a rather unbrotherly manner. (I tried and failed to find an example of this on YouTube, so I'm afraid you'll have to take my word for it, unless anyone can help in the comments.)
If Nick is the Doctor, Kevin is the Master, driven to evil by his unrequited love for Joe, Nick's companion.
...I can no longer even pretend to think that I am not a bad person.)

Some pre-coming out LIES for your entertainment
With a girl? "Yes,'' he says, looking startled. I only ask because he seems to live the life of the finicky eternal bachelor. Doesn't he long for company?
"I have got two parrots, you know. And there is no time for socialising at all. Plus, I've changed from being a needy attention seeker to not being so… needy. I go to plays and things on my own. I go out and sit and have coffee alone. I am quite territorial, I am very fussy.''
Derren, look into my eyes, not around the eyes, not around the eyes, in my eyes. Don't you think it's a bit unhealthy to go around inviting people to have staring competitions and sending your parrots to sleep? Don't you think it would be nice to have a woman in your life to remind you to have the odd manicure before you perform your magic tricks in front of a television audience of three million people? I mean, don't you ever ask girls out on dates?
"Really, well, at the moment to be honest, no, it is not something that I find myself looking for or wanting to get into. In my mind, I am going through a very, very busy period and that will die down at some point and then marriage will happen, I kind of imagine then I…'' He carries on in this vein for some time, pausing to agree only that it might, to others, seem a strange lifestyle for a healthy young man to choose.
"I'm not saying I'm not sexual. I'm not saying that some things don't happen. I just see it as, at the moment, I am not really looking for relationships and then, in a few years or not, something will just happen or come along and that will take priority.'' Nod, nod, nod. The tic is back and now it's frantic.
