Welcome to Gaia! ::

{Maybe you should change your responce to the original question too, to keep people for realizing what I asked orginally}

Do you believe in magic, (In a young girl's heart)

Kind of fond childhood memories of summertime.

Q:If you could have blackmail dirt on any one person, who'd you like to have leverage on?

A: I totally do! Yay! Goooooooo Gaia!


Q: Do you think of any of the items you have as 'investments'?

A: I like my eyes, so...not for everyday wear, no. But it would be cool to play around sometimes. Purple would be fun. And red, 'cause I'm lame. Oh, and if they're not going to be awkward, those horrible full-eye ones would be kinda fun. I could make my irises enormous and black and look like a rodent/possessed. ... Yes.

Q: Does the thought of dying alone bother you?

A. Killing inscets such as misquitoes or flies doesn't bother me. I don't care to kill rodents or snakes because they are cool.

Q. What is an enbarrasing moment that you would rather forget?

A. Hmm. I would not be friends nor romantically involved with this person because I tend to get dragged into other people's lives. If I knew the person before they were on drugs I would still be friends with that person, but encourage them to get help.
That is a complicated situation which I have not been involved in. It is hard to find the right kind of crowd to hang out with. Which is why I have as many friends as I have fingers.
I tend not to get attached to people unless they are attractive to me or we have much in common.
I may have said too much. Oh well.

Q. What would a perfect day in your mind be?

Aw, Nios, I like your perfect day very much.

A: Built? Like, physically built? Uh...well, I used to build these COLOSSAL forts in my basement during slumber parties. Like huge, 9-person things, with ample sleeping space for all, all constructed from s**t already in the basement and lots and lots of sheets and blankets. I'd get very authoritarian about it. Scream at people who wouldn't listen or got in the way or complained of being bored. Eventually, I'd often just banish everyone else from the basement until I was done, so I could work in peace. But, yeah, I was pretty damn proud of them, I have to say.

Q: If you woke up tomorrow and were completely hetero-normative, at home with gender your DNA gave you and straight as ruler, what would your reaction be? Honestly, think about this for a second. Would you be relieved? Horrified?

A: Note that you got me on a good day, mental-health-wise. I like my eyes. I like my hair (except just now -- it's kind of s**t-tastic right now -- depressing). I like, a considerable amount of the time, my intellect. I like, when I'm not obsessing over how overweight I am, my curves. I am proud of what I consider to be my moral fiber, when it holds up. My determination, my honestly, my loyalty; when I'm not ******** things up, I'm proud of these things.

I don't think any sexual orientation is wrong or inferior (we're not counting things like ***** here, 'kay?), but I am proud that I've come to recognize mine and I'm proud of the way I have fought (even though maybe I could have done more, perhaps should have done more, should do more) to spread understanding and equality. I do consider the queer community at large to be my community and I am proud, to a great extent, of the way I've seen it fight, together and singly, and the immense courage I've seen displayed there. Are there things in the queer community at large that I'm not proud of? Yes, of course. And that's an understatement. But there's a lot to be proud of, too. So much. And I can't let all of the ugliness blind me to that.

I am proud of that part of me that was (for all intents and purposes) a straight ally, and I feel greatly for others with enough courage and faith to try to be in that position. It can be an isolating one. The pride in being queer, to me, is in the courage and openness to be true to yourself, and that can be just as hard for a true straight ally. If a person is straight, then they're straight. There's nothing they can do to change that, anymore than there is for a gay person. It doesn't make them inferior. It doesn't, ultimately, make them less "special." And if they are willing to be true to themselves, and to, with us, believe in and fight for equality on the basis of sexual orientation and gender, then they are us, in my opinion. And they should be treated that way. We do nothing positive by excluding or looking down on them for being honestly what they are. It's that kind of hypocrisy that makes me sick.

*gets down from soapbox*

Um. Yes.

Er...

Q: What's an aspect of "The Queer Community" or a queer community that pisses you off? Limit yourself to one aspect.

A: [Assuming that I had the means to do whatever I wanted]

I would make lots of art. I would make videos both for fun and to make some serious statements. I would have an art show at the end of the year. I would finish foundation year at NSCAD.

I would strengthen the bonds with my friendships and I'd find ways for my friends and I to have lots of fun, year round, without relying on drugs or alcohol. I would visit friends in other countries.

I would start my transition. I would improve my wardrobe. I would visit Scotland and see what my future holds for me there now that I'm out to my whole family.

I'd seek love in all the wrong places and might actually find some, but probably short lived.

Q: If you saw a cute furry animal about to be killed in the wild by a predatorial animal, would you try to rescue it, or let nature be?
