    Hi Everyone!

    For lack of a better username, I am AboveMiddleC (It's a trumpet thing.)

    I am new (obviously) and just wanted to post and let people get to know me before I start posting elsewhere.

    Where do I start?

    I am new to the LGBTQ community. I grew up in a Liberal christian household where my parents were very open about being who you are. Only real issue that I would bring up about them was that they gave me almost no exposure to anything outside my school. I still attended my Church as a leader, but when I started feeling attractions to both girls and guys at my new, non-christian high school I was unsure of what to make of it until the end of Grade 11, when I started to realize what it meant.

    I've waited about three years, and was a little tipsy yesterday resulting in me spilling it all to my roommate (who I normally am not too fond of, but who handled it amazingly and said all the right things) and am hoping to let the rest of my friends know that it's a big secret I've held and I am done with the anxiety of keeping it in.

    About me, I am a trumpet student studying to become an elementary school music teacher. I am also a Pokemon master (I finally finished capturing every Pokemon in Pokemon Gold the week before I graduated, and was know as that guy.) I can also solve a Rubix cube in about 45 seconds.

    Feel free to reply and tell me about yourself, or shoot me a message! It's going to be amazing experiencing other people who are so open about their feelings. :icon_bigg

    Hello there, and welcome to the forum! :icon_bigg Feel free to take a look around and join in on the discussions.

    A lot of people like Pokemon here, I'm sure you'll fit right in! :slight_smile: I'm not sure any of us can solve a Rubix Cube as fast as you though! That's skills!

    O trust me, AboveMiddleC, he's a good person but he really do bite! After all, he's EC's resident psycho. :grin: Hahaha!

    Hi AboveMiddleC!!! Welcome to EC! Dont worry, not all of us bites. And I'll protect you from Ryu. :grin: We can can use our Pokemon to fight Ryu (yup, Im another Pokemon Master wannabe and a PokeGeek). Anyways, if you need someone to talk to (serious talk or Pokemon talk or any geek talk) you can always contact me by posting a message on my wall. :grin: Enjoy AboveMiddleC!!!

    I seem to have the nostalgic-Pokemon approval. For now! :lol:

    Also, Golgari as in the Magic Guild? I'm totally a Simic player but you gotta love Green Black.

    Thanks for the warm welcomes everyone! :icon_bigg

    Hi, C! Welcome to EC! (*hug*)
    Well I used to play Sapphire like a maniac :3 Now I don't game much, I mostly just eat chocolate, do my nails, blab, and listen to a lot of music. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:
    I play the drums! Both djembe and acoustic (though not so much now). I also sing.

    Good on ya to open up to us! We'll bombard you with love and acceptance! : ) (&&&) See you around!! (*hug*)

    Thanks for all the welcomes everyone! This welcome has been warmer than a pizza pocket recently emerged from a microwave (excellent use of metaphor.)

    I'm so jealous! As part of my program I need to learn almost every instrument, and drums in general is so difficult :lol: That and the bassoon have been a struggle.
