    ...hi!​


    As you can probably tell by my join date, I'm not exactly new.
    I've done quite a lot of lurking over the past few months, and I figured it was about time to stop creeping about and properly introduce myself.

    You can call me Toony.
    I'm a cripplingly shy, indoorsy soul.
    I enjoy garage sales, anime/manga/cartoons/etc., and long walks down library halls while trying not to dislocate my shoulder with my book bag.

    It's a pleasure to meet you all! :smilewave

    As for why I'm here...I've more or less considered myself asexual for years.
    However, for various reasons, I wouldn't allow myself to seriously consider any other possibility until recently.
    And, well...let's just say that I have all sorts of grand reasons to wonder about myself!

    This website and its inhabitants have already been incredibly helpful, thank you all for being so awesome.

    I've never been comfortable talking about myself, and I don't know whether or not I'll ever be able to work up the nerve to disclose much more about myself, but I'm very grateful to have this place to turn to.

    Welcome Toony! You sound cool, I'm glad you're enjoying the forum thus far. I lurk on sites before I join them too. ^_^
    Good luck figuring yourself out, humans are such complex beings aren't they?

    Hi Toony! Whatever your questioning mind decides is right for you in the end, everyone here will love you for it. Congrats on overcoming your shyness to delurk. My sweetie is pretty shy, so even though I'm not, I understand how hard it can make life. Good job. :slight_smile:
