Who Am I??
I am a slightly neurotic, obsessive hockey player that wishes to be better than my current skill level will let me be
Adopted daughter to Earl & Joyce
Co-Treasurer to the MGHA
Lion Tamer for Token Creek Lions Club
Steering committee for the Act ride
A partner
Fur babies momma
A faithful employee in a growing organization
A fiercely devoted friend
An extremely shy individual (bet you didn’t know that one!!)
A book worm
A video game geek
Someone that likes to sit back and watch
A person that remembers a lot, especially when it’s about people I care about
I notice when you are fighting the tears
I really want you to hug me too
I need to have time alone, but not too much
I want you to want me in your life
When hurt, I can cut you off forever
I panic at the thought of losing my father
I am terrified of public restrooms
I could go to an amusement park for every vacation
I am very hard on myself
I don’t feel like I deserve much
I really do like to hug
I constantly question things in life
I don’t want you to see me cry
My brain does not like to shut off at night, often keeping me up for hours while everyone else sleeps
I try to hide things, and secretly I want you to notice
When others panic, I am calm as a cucumber
I regret not telling you I love you
I miss the Army, more than I can actually put into words
I am always on guard, and usually don’t’ have that “safe” area
I really can’t tell when someone flirts with me
I really do pay attention to what you say & do
I dream about being a photographer and traveling the world
When I dream, I am the person I strive to be
My friends are my family, and I have chosen you specifically
I am scared people will leave me and will often try to push you away; just to see if that is true
I forget to eat sometimes, well okay a lot, and I am fine with that
When I tell you I am fine, I am probably not
The ice rink is one of the few places that make me happy
I will make sure you are happy before I am
I totally believe I would have loved to go to Hogwarts
Teenagers make me uncomfortable
Sometimes, I am afraid to be me
I can spend hours thinking, analyzing, & dreaming
I wish you knew how I felt
I wish I knew you cared
When you smile at me, my heart skips a beat
I love writing, not necessarily anything in particular, just writing
I wish I could tell my 15 year old self a few things
I am a character and wondered how it would be to put on a costume and do that for a living
I have a friend that I can call anytime and we can pick right up where we left off like it was yesterday, even when it was 6 months ago
I save text messages that make me happy and make me feel loved
I secretly love Julie Andrews
I question things that I was taught as a child
Sometimes, late at night when my brain doesn’t stop, I feel like no one cares
I love to make people laugh, even when it’s at my expense
I could sit in a hockey rink all day
I wish I could do something to change the world’s views on AIDS – and inspire someone to do something about it
I wish my family would not be so conservative and understand people cannot be pigeon holed and not everyone is just like you
I have had to learn to survive on my own, this doesn’t mean that I don’t need you, it just means I know how to make it alone

Creeping up on the big 4-0

Wow...almost 40 already?! Where does life fly away to when you are not paying attention? I have had a lot floating through my mind as I spend the last 15 days of my 30's looking back on what has all happened in my life and I have made some decisions. As an adoptee there are things that I didn't know I did or realize about myself until recently. The way that I tend to push others away always fearing they will leave me first. The way I put up barriers around myself so others cannot hurt me- not willing to trust too easily or not believing that a person is genuine. And, when someone does something that hurts me or pulls away from me I usually comment about how I expected as much. I have spent too much time in my life wondering about, wishing for and hoping that my bio mother would come around. 20 years I have tried to have conversations or a connection that I so desperately thought I wanted or needed. Something clicked for me this week, I don't need her- and frankly, if y

Alone

Some days I feel like I am all alone. I find it hard to love myself because it feels like no one else loves me.. So how can you love yourself? Maybe I am not love able- after all I did get rejected by my biological and adoptive mothers. I just don't know anymore.

My Memory

This time of year one hears a lot about national coming out day  which happens to fall this week. So I decided that it would be a good time to share my story as well. I spent the day yesterday retracing my first few months in Madison down on State Street. When I first moved here I really did not have anywhere to go and I certainly didn't know anyone, so I would spend hours walking down the street and watching people. Many times I would sit and write or read, I find that this was one of the most creative periods of my life. Anyway, it amazed me then, and I felt it yesterday, that even around so many people a person can feel so alone. I knew long ago that I was gay, I would say early teens. Unfortunately, where I grew up and in my family, being gay was one of the biggest taboos that one could be. Growing up in such a religious family and area, diversity was not high on the list of things encouraged. When I finally accepted myself I was resigned to the fact that I would never, ever,
