    So my friend gave this website and it seems pretty cool. He's on here somewhere too. Anyways.
    My name's Alyssa, though a lot of people call me Em. Yeah I know they're nothing alike, it's a long story. But whichever you like.
    Umm I live in this super small town full of conservative people. It's not the greatest place to live if you're gay (nor if you're something other than a white Christian) but I've been out since I was 12. I'm leaving for college after this year though (London!) and I can't wait.
    I'm Wiccan, though I was raised Catholic. I'm a vegetarian, I love animals way too much to eat them. Not that I care if you eat it, it's just not my thing.
    I guess that's all the really important stuff. I can't wait to get to know you all. ^.^

    You've got some seriously nice people on this site don't you? And thankies. ^.^

    Haha coming out wasn't so much me being brave as me being totally obvious. My friends were like, "ZOMG isn't that guy hot?" and I'd try to change the subject to like, grass. So they all asked and then whoosh whole town finds out.

    Well my school runs grades 6-12 and there's only 600 students. Nearly everyone's related. And it helps I was the only one to come out in years. The whole town knew within the week. Twas interesting.

    yeah well, where i'm from the coming out would spread quickly too, but not as good as it was for you, since everybody is against being gay so homosexual or bisexual people are too afraid to come out, but still there are those brave souls that don't care about what others think

    Oh it wasn't good. But I just figured they'd find out sometime and even if I denied it they'd all think so anyway because of the rumour. But it was still worth it.
