i’m a complete contradiction in terms. The best way to sum me up would be to clarify my identity in a few snap shot adjectives: Queer. Femme. Dyke. babygirl.
Shall i go on?
i’ve always felt queer. From the time i was a very small child i knew there was something very different about me that set me apart from everyone else i knew in my little po-dunk town. i came out to my family in 2008 about being gay and for the most part, live my life as “out” as much as a Femme really can. i’ve been shocked to find that the world doesn’t take my sexuality seriously because of how i look, and the lack of respect always catches me off guard. But the value i’m finding in being able to use my “invisible gayness” to instigate or navigate any open discussion about sexuality, religion or gender ~ has proven itself priceless.
I’ve recently become addicted to C-SPAN’s live Senate coverage. The information we get in the media is so convoluted I wanted to see for myself what was going on. PEOPLE HAVE NO IDEA what is actually going on in our government and how it directly affects us.
I’m also addicted to reality tv. I used to feel ashamed of this, lol but I’ve come to accept it. I’m fascinated with human behavior and interaction and sometimes you get to see some really good things happen to really good people, and that always gives me hope.
Because of BOTH of my addictions i’ve decided to go back to school. i am presently working on my Associates in Psychology with the intention to then proceed to a Bachelor’s in Political Science. From there i will either get into the public sector and lobby or advocate for changes in ALL laws that violate Human & Civil Rights (beginning with the LGBTQ Community) OR….i’ll have to get into law because at the end of all this money and schooling and working my ass off…i want to change laws.
And what makes my long busy days worth slowing down for? Well I’ve got a little butch yorkie that i’m absolutely in love with. I foolishly named her bella thinking I had gotten a little foo foo dog I could dress up and mess with. Turns out Bella thinks she’s a boy. She’s hilarious, intelligent and thinks I’m just the greatest thing in the world. Unless i’m ignoring her.
