Bio

How is it that I always leave the bio for last? I do suppose that I always expect people to find me boring, so leaving it 'til last doesn't ruin any suspense or anything.

 

I'm going to flail and holler on about how I'm not boring now, alright?

 

...okay, nevermind, even if I'm not boring--I'm lazy, and for once I'm not dying of Homework Overload.

 

And now to elaborate a little, before I go into a full-fledged bio:

 

I am from Wrentham. You probably haven't heard of it unless you enjoy shopping. Before the Outlets, no one knew of us. It has its pros and cons.

 

I came out at 13 or 14, I don't know. Some time in 7th or 8th grade. It was less of a, "Oh I'm gay not straight now I have to tell everyone I'm not straight" but more of a "Hey, I have a sexuality, cool" because prior to that I was just...kinda non-sexual. My parents are also very 'yay' about the whole thing, and my brother likes talking to me about attractive girls. As far as I know, my dog doesn't mind since he still gets to sleep with me (and I appreciate his warmth in the cold New England winters, which gives him the title of Only Man to Sleep with Kiwi and he's really only part man, if you know what I mean).

 

I hope to go to University in England.  The UCAS common app. was a pain in the rear!  Eh, hopefully I'll get in.  Otherwise it's down to UMASS for a year and then hopping the puddle, probably.  Whatever--as long as I'm learning something, somewhere! 

 

I like meeting new people. My screen name on AIM is Carbon Kiwi. If you feel like dropping me a line, go for it. I certainly won't mind! =).

Favorite Books
, Oh, my goodness. Let's not even start because my memory is joyfully limited. (But I do love Harry Potter and a plethora of other books. Reasonably heavy reader.),
Favorite Lesbian/Bi TV or Movie Characters
My TV was basically pulled, unless you count 13 channels with the majority being kids TV, in another language, soaps, or a combination. Yes, it's tragic. (Have always loved Buffy, Xena, a few others. Loads of movies. I borrow lesbian movies for long periods of time, as my friends would less-than-reluctantly attest.)
Favorite Musicians / Bands
Tegan and Sara, Goo Goo Dolls, Girlyman, Melissa Etheridge, Melissa Ferrick, Carbon Leaf, loads of others...
Favorite TV Shows
I wish I could still remember what they are. I mourn you, TV, my old friend...
Favorite Movies
Monty Python and the Holy Grail (blame my English father), Better than Chocolate, V for Vendetta, The Princess Bride, Underworld (maybe you can guess why, and it has more to do with the leather), and many others.
