I've lurked for some time, reading other posts, and not feeling a need to post on my own. Until now! So I registered, and hello! Little bit about myself: I'm 23 years old, a first year (first term even) college student, following a 4-year stint in the military. Following that, I moved out near Beaverton/Portland, OR, as I love the state and the pacific northwest. I'm heavy into computers and PC gaming. A lot of my hobbies consist of your typical "nerd" arsenal; like tabletop RPGs, trading card games, anime, internet pop culture, and pastel-colored ponies. Outside of technology, I do have an interest in law and criminal justice (my present major), as well as some recreational interest in politics and history. I do love me some forum arguments elsewhere. As far as identity goes... well... The Kinsey Scale quiz put me at around a 2, and I'd say that's about accurate. I prefer girls to boys, but it's always more complicated than just that. The right set of features, physical and mental, have sparked attractions, friendships, and a few relationships across many lines. Internally, I think I've come to understand I am allowed to feel how I want to feel about anyone... It's on the outside that I have my problems. Outside of the few intimate relationships I've had, nobody knows I'm anything more than your "typical straight guy." I'm not even comfortable being a supporter or an ally, let alone admitting that I'm anything other than straight. In my head, I think I'm comfortable with the idea of being "bisexual" but... I still can't say it out loud. Of course, I can type all this on the internet under some semblance of anonymity. :lol: So, that's me in a nutshell. I look forward to becoming a part of the community and making friends!
