    Hi, I joined this awesome site at some point in the summer. While I only posted once, it really, really helped me in coming to terms with my sexuality, just reading through everyone else's posts. I've come a long way in terms of comfort with myself, and I'm quite thankful this site for being here to support anyone having a rough time.

    So, thought I'd do a short-ish intro. Never sure how much to say about myself, but here goes: I am a highly introverted, shy, neurotic, hyper-nerdy 19 year-old. I've spent the majority of my life (10 years) in small-town Montana; not an experience I recommend for everyone - though I gained what I hope will be ever-lasting friendships from my time there. My parents recently moved back to the Seattle area, and I like to identify with that area too, as I was born there and really enjoy visiting (Definitely near the top of my "I really want to get a job there" list - right after Vancouver, BC, and San Francisco). Right now I'm simply loving how much more challenging and enjoyable college is, particularly as compared to my high school. I'm majoring in Psychology and taking pre-med classes, and intend to pursue a career in psychiatry :slight_smile:

    Anyways, hope that wasn't too long...I can get wordy at times...
    Pleasure meeting all of you :icon_bigg

    P.S. I must apologize to fiddledeedee, as I never responded back to her post. Quite rude of me. I got caught up in a summer college course, but that's no excuse. So, sorry about that; your post definitely helped, and thank you for the input! :slight_smile:

    Hi all ^ :slight_smile:

    To be honest, I've never before "listened" to Joel when I knew I was listening to him. But I just did a youtube search and 'lo and behold - Piano Man! My dad sung that all the time to my sister and I when we were kids. Touching song. So, while my father's probably the real fan, definitely like him, even just for that song alone :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:
