I shall try and attempt this, but I don't know if I will be able to.

I am quite the talker, so I have no idea. :P

Heheheh having no friends is for once not a bad thing. I could never do the "no online talking" part though. The internet is where I draw the line cuz I'm always typing and texting. I barely talk as it is. I'm carrying around a white board and dry erase marker just incase though.

I can't not talk, but I will definitely spread the word. This is an important day. :)

I've started at 11:50pm last night, had not said a word since. Mom loves it somehow :P:P!

She is supporting me and my friends. She had a menu ready for breakfast this morning so I did not have to point at stuff I wanted, just to the item on the menu.

Almost broke it while getting dressed and hitting my toe on the door frame of the bathroom.

But still silent.

I went from 12am to 2:45pm. My friend and I did a mini break the silence thing. Then we talked to a sub teacher that graduated form our school 10 years ago about how much it's improved and how far we still need to go to be even with all the other schools in our area.

Thats awesome. A bunch of my friend told me to start talking and my friend I was staying silent with broke it, so I did and we talked about improving lgbtq treatment in our school with a subsitute teacher that graduated from our school a while ago.

I did it on Friday at school, yes!
I wore a rainbow ribbon with the gay flag colors, basically, and this sign around my neck:

I wasn't the only one doing it. My whole GSA group was doing it (Gay Straight Alliance) and was wearing the ribbon/sign. However, I'm the only boy in the GSA, so I was the only boy doing this, too. I'm pretty sure everyone knows I'm gay now, but whatever. I'm glad. :)

I didn't participate, but my French teacher did. I would, but I'm sure I would forget and slip up.
