Hey, I guess you can call me Shadow. Im 18 years old and came out to my immediate family (my mom and my sister) a few months ago. I think of myself as openly gay, and I would confirm my sexuality if I was questioned about it, but since I don't fit the stereotypes, everyone just assumes im heterosexual. I was concerned when I first joined this site, because I don't really have any problems with coming out or accepting myself for who I am like the majority of people on here, and the main reason I joined was just to talk to other gay people, and make friends (there isn't many people who are at least openly gay where im at), but after looking around the site some more, I thought it could be fun, especially since I don't usually go on forums. If anyone needs help with something though or just wants to talk, im actually pretty good at solving problems. (At least other people's problems.) As for specific things about me. I like writing, drawing, anime, movies (especially giant monster movies), video games, philosophy, improving my knowledge in just about anything and everything, other cultures, the art of combat, and horror, mystery, thriller, comedy, action, and drama genera's. I think that's about it. Anything else you want to know, just check my profile or ask. Im not sure how to end this, so... nice to meet you all. :smilewave
