(no subject)
Okay, well, I just joined. I got here from a community that's about fanfiction for girl/girl pairings (homosexual relationships for those who aren't current with fanfiction lingo. lol.) and I couldn't resist. A community that's all about helping out people that're confused about their gender/sexuality/identity? It sounded too good to be true, so I did a little research into the non-friended journals, and decided to join.
By way of introduction, I generally tell people I'm a lesbian when asked, or when it comes up, and am quite proud of the fact. Girls are where I'm at right now, and I don't regret it in and of itself. I have a girlfriend for going on four or two months, (depending on who's counting, but that's a different story altogether) and I've dated both girls and boys in the past.
If I see someone on the street that's good looking, I'll point it out if I'm with someone, or quietly appreciate if I'm alone. Gender doesn't really get in the way of my drooling, I can appreciate boys as well as girls from a distance. It's when we're up close that I get the problem.
I know a lot of people here come becuase they're unsure/uncomfortable with being attracted to the same sex, but I'm not here cause of that. I'm perfectly comfortable liking girls, it's society that's not. I'm just not sure about the boys. Last summer I dated a guy, and I have dated them in the past, but it seems like all they are is a fling. I'm not sure I'm bisexual, cause I can't really see myself ever getting sexually involved with a male, but sometimes I'll kiss one? Or flirt?
I dunno, but as for the other stuff: I'm almost seventeen, in my junior year of high school, American, in a relationship, on the computer constantly, an aspiring writer, and a rabid fangirl. I was always the girl that beat the boys up, didn't really get into having female friends until middle school, when all the little subleties I'd missed being a tomboy were painfully obvious.
It's a little hard adapting, because most of my friends are quite abruptly girls, and I don't get most of the unwritten rules. I used to regularly and bluntly point out the ones that didn't make a damn bit of sense to me, or that seemed ridiculous to me, but that's slacked off as I start to understand. In an abnormally large farm school like mine, everyone's grown up together, and that's also hard because I didn't grow up with any of the girls here, I moved here later than them and only really talked to the boys.
Guess that's it, I'm done talking/complaining/introducing myself for the moment. I gladly answer questions, and will try to support the other people here, as best I can. Oh! And most people call me Fayth. :)
