I am a lesbian. I am gay. I like women pretty much exclusively. And I am more comfortable with the word "lesbian" than I ever have been with "bisexual", so yeah.

I wish I had something more helpful or comforting to say, but you lost my sanity at the words "Tillamook Cheese." It is the deliciousness that I live for...and yeah.
