Name: Ray
Age: 24
Gender: Eh, let's just say non-binary and leave it at that. :P

Occupation: Basically unemployed, but I work a few hours a week at a pizza place.

Why do you think people would enjoy reading and commenting on your posts?
Hmm, well I don't really know. Maybe because I'm hilarious? Erm well just because I think I'm hilarious doesn't mean other people do... hmm.
No but seriously even though I basically write about my day and general thoughts on random things (and once next week comes around, I'll also be flailing about my favourite shows being back), I try to be humorous about it so that what I write isn't snooze-worthy. Or so I hope.
Tell us about your life and what you want to do with it:
Right now I am in a period of 'figuring myself out'. I just got out of a long relationship with a guy (my first and most likely only hetero relationship unless the guy can deal without sex; I'm definitely not sexually attracted to men, funny it took me a relationship with one to figure that out) and am enjoying being single. I just wish there were more ladies around here to date! D: School wise, I've been unsucessfully trying to narrow down what I would like to major in for some time now. Recently I've gotten really into photoshop and html & css, so I was thinking graphic design... but I haven't totally decided yet. And as for a job, I've got a VERY part time job in a pizza place that I am looking to leave ASAP because I am just not getting hours.
That's pretty much all that's going on at the moment.
If you could swap lives with a person for a week, who would it be and why?
I really don't have anyone in particular, but I would LOVE to swap lives with anyone who has the desire and means to travel. I would just love to have the chance to visit a few places. I have the most ridiculous wanderlust and really all I want out of my life is to be able to travel all over the world.
What are your favourite types of food?
Well, I fucking love food, lol. But I mainly enjoy southwestern and italian cuisines. sometimes mexican too.
Post 1 or more pictures of yourself here.
Being a nerd in my doctor who shirt. :D This is probably my favourite purchase in a while.
How did you find this community and why did you decide to join
I found this community way back when I first joined LJ and made some awesome friends off of it. Sadly I've been inactive on lj for quite some time and
most of my little ~clique is inactive (D:) so I'm posting to hopefully make some new awesome friends. :D
