    I just realized that I forgot to present myself before I post haha
    I'm sorry :slight_smile:

    Bonjour (Hi), I'm Valerie, I'm from Quebec, Canada. I am a French Canadian from somewhere near Montreal!

    I joined EC because I am in the closet and thinking about coming out. By '' Coming out '' I mean : If someones asks me seriously about it, I won't deny it. If they ask it's because they suspect it and have no problem with it so I don't see the point of lying in that case. So far, nobody asked me THE question so I am in the closet, but not hiding under a coat!

    I am at the stage where I no longer pretend that I find guys attractive, I finally practice the sport I always wanted to try but was afraid that people could find out about my orientation if I did (stereotypes, you know!) : Longboarding! (It's like a skateboard but not :roflmao:slight_smile:

    I don't think that it's obvious that I am a lesbian (if you rely on stereotypes) because I am not a tomboy.. so maybe that's why I've never been asked if I was! :lol:

    So yeah, that's me :slight_smile:

    Bienvenue sur EC!

    On devrait démarrer un petit club EC pour les Montréalais(es)...notre nombre s'agrandit tranquillement. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:


    À partir de maintenant, je vais juste t'appeler la Grande-Baleine. Just kidding :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    On est 4 Montréalais sur EC, je crois (including OP).

    On se cache un peu partout :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    Keyboard probably set to either French Canadian or Canadian Multilingual.

    If you ever want to use Çç without changing your keyboard settings, you could do it using ASCII codes. Hold ALT and type 128 for Ç and ALT + 135 for ç.
