Guys. GAIZ. I can't keep this in anymore. I have a confession to make.
I am not a 20-something white girl from Georgia, USA. I'm sorry I lied to you all. I only did it because it was the only way I felt comfortable participating in fandom. I didn't want you to judge me. I feel really awful about it now because I've made so many good friendships and I LOVE YOU GUYS SO MUCH. And I trust you guys, which is why I now feel comfortable with saying:
I am a 46-year-old black male from Finland. I'm not a college student. In fact, I never went to college. I am a textiles worker. I don't even own any dogs. I just make fake ones out of flaxseed and burlap and then make up names and personalities for them so I can mention them on LJ. I want dogs, I guess, but mostly I want to feel like I have something in common with all you LJ dog-owners. And college-goers. And people with brothers who say funny things. I'm so sorry I lied. I just-- it has to end now. I'm so tired of researching American girly things on Wikipedia all day so I can talk about them on the Internet. I'm tired of hiring people to pose for fake photographs of myself and to make fake voiceposts. I'm tired of having to construct a false personal history when all I want to do is scream from the rooftops, "I am not Kaylie! I AM RICHARD!"
My RL friends call me Dick.
