I'm a born and raised Oregonian. I'm the oldest of 7 kids. My parents have been married for over 25 years. I was raised as a strict Catholic. You can see why it was hard, at least in part, for me to come out. But, I finally did to myself in December of '07, my friends in January '08, and lastly my family in March '08. I'm the happiest I've been in years!
My life has been a long and hard road, but I'm better for it. It's made me stronger, more confident and more sure of what I want in life. At times, though, I'm still indecisive, overly emotional, weak, annoying, immature, etc. In short, I'm human. I make mistakes. However, I hope that I learn and grow from them.
I'm so glad I stumbled upon AE because for the first time in my life, I feel like I belong to a real community and I can be who I was created as. I've made some greatly supportive and caring buddies here. I don't know where I would be without you all. :)
I am a college art major drop-out, who's currently wandering and wondering about life and where I want to go. Call it my almost quarter-life crisis. :p I'm a jack of all trades. I like cooking, computers, reading, writing, music, movies, sports, and monkeys among other things!
I'm sometimes butch, sometimes femme, and sometimes in the middle, but I'm always myself. I'm Chrissie.
