Republica - Ready To Go
bored

Michelle kinda inspired me with a post of hers a few days ago. Here's some random facts about me (some of them dark secrets) that you may or may not know...or care to know.

-From second grade till early in sixth, I was leader of a paramilitary organization at my school and in my neighborhood. We organized search parties for those we couldn't find, we organized scouting trips to scout out new patches of woods we'd never been in, and we divided the playground into sectors and could force people to leave if we wanted to conduct training exercises.

-I was a cute kid (if I do say so myself) but I developed really shitty self esteem because until I was in ninth grade, girls wouldn't go anywhere near me, at least in a lovey way. I didn't have my first girlfriend (of whom you all know now) until I started meeting people from another school.

-I was in eighth grade when Kurt Cobain killed himself. I was angry and devastated. I didn't wash my hair for two or three weeks in some attempt at showing my disgust for the world - and for my parents.

-I read the morning announcements in twelfth grade. I would make it sound like a real newscast, reporting on important stories like the pigeons that hung out in the courtyard and shit everywhere.

-Until I transitioned, none of my D+D characters were female. I had some powerful denial goin on.

-When I re-converted to Paganism at nineteen, I followed Diana, the Roman goddess of hunting and forests, until I found Freyja. Diana treated me like an orphan or a friendly stray dog.

-When we were in tenth grade, Jen offered to dress me up all girly and make me over. It hit a little close to home. I freaked out and refused. The night I came out to her as trans, she remembered that and we laughed about it.

-Pink Floyd became my favorite band late in eighth grade. I've loved them ever since.

-I was a DJ my sophomore year at one of the two college radio stations here at OU.

I coulda sworn I had more stuff than that.but I guess I don't....
