I don't have anything that inspiring to say today. It's Wednesday. It's cloudy out and possibly raining and I'm NOT looking forward to walking home.
Because I have nothing else to talk about, I will talk about a topic which I know lots about and is related to my blog topic : ME ! So Because the topic of my blog is gay / lesbian related things I'm gonna tell you about how I came to be who I am today. Theres not much time so this one will be short but if I run out of time I'll add to it tomorrow.
So as you may NOT know, I grew up with two mothers. My mother and her partner met way before I was born. My mothers partner already had a child and I came along many years later. When I was 12 or 13 ish my parents split up and I chose to live with my mothers ex instead of my mother. My mothers ex already had another partner and within a month we were all living together along with my mothers' exes new partners son. Thus started a new family unit, which has been added too by the magic of invetro ferlization to bring my youngest brother into the picture. The parents I live with now ( my mothers ex and her wife ) are now expecting baby number 2 which is coming next month maybe even earlier. So I've been raised in a homosexual environment since the get go. I never thought about being a lesbian myself. I grew up normal. Playing with Barbies AND army men. A Perfect Balance. It wasn't until high school when things started to change. I started to distance myself from my boyfriend of 2 years. Things just didn't feel right anymore. Things stopped being fun and I felt like something was wrong with me because I found myself not caring as much about him anymore as I once had.
The real kick in the pants happened when I was 16. It started with a simple look at somebody across the room. At first glance, the boy seemed to be everything I wanted. He dressed the way I myself wanted to dress. When he walked he had all eyes on him. From behind....the guy looked like a god sent gift from heaven. Then he turned around.....and noticed I was looking.....and thats when I saw.....that my attractive looking guy....was an even MORE attractive looking girl. That is where the story begins and unfortunaly thats all there is time for. I don;t know what else I can say that can really explain more. That was the defining moment right there. 3 and 1/2 years later Here I am !
I expect comments galore on this one LOL. No you don;t have to. This entry was purely for posting sake but it lets you know where things started for me.
Comments and Questions welcome. Toss stuff out there ! Tell me what you wanna here , whatever.

I can see that you are very proud of your family - and I know you have another one on the way (hoping for a boy....?)
Now.....to turn this blog into a conversation about media - What kinds of media do you have open to you about this kind of lifestyle? Media seems to be broadening somewhat its versions of homosexuality in a realistic way (rather than a completely stereotypical way) but it still seems to be so typical (similarly in the way many ethnic minorities are presented). There seems to be this hestitancy on the part of media (grouping them all together here cause I don't know who to blame :) ) that doesn't allow different versions of families etc. to be represented (or if they are represented - they are not MAJOR characters or storylines. The question though is it is US or is it THEM? Who creates the realities we see on the screen????
