Hey everyone. Ok, so I am not very good with introductions. Being in the spot light freaks me out. But here it goes. My name is Angie and this is the first time I have ever joined a LGBT website or actually embraced being a lesbian (and I have been this way for a very long time) I am 27 years old (it's shocking to me that in 3 years I'll be 30!!?). I love animals and am passionate about their health and well being. I want to be a veterinary technician someday. I currently own a dog named Blue ( who is my baby!!), two ferrets named Petey and Kiki, a cat named Baby and a Betta Fish named Mr. Bubbles. I have only confessed to three people that I am a lesbian and the first person I told was my cousin. And I told her on my 22nd birthday. Fortunately, she was very accepting about it and even said she always suspected it (that last part terrifies me but I won't go too much into detail). The next person I told was my best friend, Jacqueline, who then became my first girlfriend who is now unfortunately my ex girlfriend after four beautiful years of being a couple. That's still a long and painful story. The two people I refuse to tell and the reason I rarely tell anyone are my loving parents. I know the results of what would happen if they knew I was gay. Nothing can convince me that they would be warm and accepting about it. Because I am very close to my parents, I want to keep this secret for as long as I can. Hopefully, someday when I am strong enough and my other half is supportive enough, I will have the guts to tell them. But I am not ready. Wow. Did I mention I am not good with introductions? Lol... I guess I have been needing to join a LGBT page for a while considering just how much info I gave in my first post. Um, I love art, reading and playing video games. I am obsessed with the Japanese culture. I am teaching myself the basics of Japanese language, I love anime/mangas and I want to visit Japan someday. I love video games. I have been playing them since I was two. First game ever was Duck Hunt and I say that with pride! That's pretty much the basics. Thank you for taking your time to read this. I would love to meet people and hopefully that will help me realize I am not alone in this and that being this way is normal... And I am not doing anything wrong. ~Angie
Hello Angie, welcome to EC. Coming out is never easy and you'll fined the supportive for you. You are not alone before I joined I didn't know how many people are/were in the same place I am in. You love it here. What kind of a dog is Blue?
God bless your soul because you have asked the question you will probably regret asking. I LOVE talking about my dog. XD *deep breath* My dog is a Labrador/husky mix. She is chocolate brown with golden eyes. This dog has been my best friend. She is such a sweetie and loves to make people laugh. She is the reason I want to become a vet. Tech. I will have to post pictures of her sometime. By the way, your "labels are for soup cans" message thing is epic.
OMG My first dog was a husky. I didn't have many friends when I was a kid so all I really had has dogs 5 at one time who need friends when you have 5 dogs. lol I love dogs so much. lol they have always been there for me and they don't care about the little stuff.
