    Hi!

    I'm new. I'm pansexual, not out and genderconfused. The first bit I'm mostly okay with. The second is less okay. I'm here trying to figure it out.

    I'm white, European and have girlparts. I'm Christian (Lutheranian Protestant), feminist (pro-sex, pro-body acceptance, not fond of make-up but so long as you don't do it for "confidence", then have at it) and socialist.

    Fond of reading (both book and fanfiction, though mostly fanfiction ATM), writing poetry, knitting (thinking about branching out into crocheting), being with people i care about, music, films and TV shows (not so much TV shows actually, but if I do get hooked on one it kind of takes over my life) and shaking my ass in the privacy of my own bedroom to truly embarrassing 90's Eurotrance.

    Not fond of getting drunk, sick or exhausted. Not fond of people being horribly rude or not using my full name when they talk to me. My name is long, yes. That doesn't mean it's okay for people just to shorten it or call me silly petnames without my permission and that, in turn, is certainly not permission for anyone to get angry with me for wanting my name a certain way and shortening it even after I've expressly told them not to. It's not me being difficult, it's me having an identity. Grow up and deal with it.

    Particularly not fond of people making fun of or belittling my faith. It really, really hurts. I try to be respectful of other people's faiths and worldviews as much as I can, though there are some worldviews out there, that I just don't see eye to eye with.

    That's at least a little (or probably most, actually) about me. So, yeah. Hi!

    Hello & welcome, BloodyHearted. I refer to people however they refer to myself. I don't take liberties with anything. Including, their name. I enjoy reading, shows, music, films & write some poetry as well. My late grandma knitted & crocheted. I didn't inherit that talent. Or, especially, the determination & patience. Hope you enjoy your time here, find the answers you seek & make many new friends.

    Hi Bloodyhearted.... Great to have you here. Welcome! Strangely enough, I'm actually learning to speak Norwegian, but am in the very early stages. You are certainly right about people being rude. Good manners don't cost anything.
    Good for you, being Christian (Lutheranian Protestant). There are a lot of different worldviews out there, and like you, don't always say eye to eye with them, but we can still learn from them, but I always respect different people's views, beliefs and values.
    Anyway, do enjoy yourself here. Everyone here is very friendly, supporting and re-assuring. You've got some great interests there. Look forward to chatting with you at some point.
