    Hello everyone,
    I’m looking forward to meeting some awesome friends in a safe environment!
    A bit about me: I’m a singer in grad school rn, I love plants & animals, I watch way too much Netflix, I love writing (one day I want to publish a book), I make stained glass, I love museums and art, I’m an outdoors person (I grew up on a farm), I love cooking and eating, I’m a big mystery and sci-fi reader, I’m a jogger, I’m competitive and I’ve always been ambitious (not always a good thing lol), being told ‘no’ really irritates me, I’ve always wanted to have a beautiful wedding, I never went to elementary or high school (homeschooled), and I have a lovely straight family who I’m not out to, but they sort of get that I’m different.
    Growing up we were sort of isolated, didn’t really have internet or computers or tv, and I had no idea that there was any other way to be than in a straight relationship or single. Unintentionally and with no malice on my family’s part, it was a very ‘straight/cis or nothing’ environment to grow up in- for example, my grandpa was always asking me in a sort of nightmarish ritual if I had a boyfriend yet. The first time I saw an lgbtq character on tv was in Doctor Who (Jack Harkness) and I got really excited, but it took me long time and some experimentation in college to figure out that I’m gay and that it’s not only ok to be queer, but it can be a lot of fun!
    If this seems like a lot, it’s Bc I’m just so excited to be sharing who I am w/o editing the queerness down and I think it’s a lot easier to make friends when ppl know about your hobbies/interests!
