I'm not sure how on earth you go without knowing what awesome is, but my sympathies go out to any poor bastard in that predicament.
Now, to sorta go back to the matter of homoeroticism. I'm in an interesting bracket, being sexually attracted to the opposite sex, but same gender. Most of the women I've seen who display awesome are tomboys and in my experience, awesome is associated with masculine behaviour.
There's just not that much in typically feminine behaviour that makes me go "Oh yeah! This brings the AWESOME!". But I'm not sure how that necessarily translates into teh gay, since I've always associated homosexuality with finding the same sex attractive, which isn't the same thing as finding the same gender attractive.
