Hey from Christy. I am new to the blogging world but since I am always looking for a forum in which to write, I thought this was a good one.
I am not your average 20-something lesbian. I do live in a city- close to bars, bookstores, coffee shops and the like. I do love the Indigo Girls, Melissa Etheridge, Jodie Foster, and Kissing Jessica Stein. And I did bring a U-Haul on my second date (or something like that). But I am certainly not your stereotypical softball playing, cargo pant wearing baby dyke. Sometimes though, I wish I were.
I wear skirts, knee boots, and lipstick.
I am Catholic- struggling at times, but always Catholic. Church going, collection giving, rosary praying. It is not easy but I do it.
I am partnered at 24. Seriously committed- ceremony and all. We even have the requisite cat. Her name is Lulu and she wears a rainbow collar around her neck. Christy, Michelle and Lulu- the typical lesbian family.
I work full time, making the most of my Ivy-League masters degree. I hate my job but when a gal has $40,000 in school loans, she does what she can.
I read. Alot. Libraries everywhere have my picture posted. I am the worst at returning books on time. This week, I am reading The Hidden Life of Otto Frank by Carol Ann Lee. Biographies are not usually my thing but this one is really good and I have a special place in my heart for Anne Frank.
I have panic disorder with agoraphobia. Thank God for my friends at ENcourage- a fantastic online community, and for anti-depressants which also help with my agoraphobia. If only I could cry when I felt sad, the world would be perfect. Chemicals are not all they are cracked up to be.
I am sad about Mr. Rogers.
Enough for now,
Christy
