Come out - come out - whatever you are.
1. What do people tend to assume about you, because it's the perceived cultural norm, that isn't true (e.g. sexual orientation, gender, religion)? What is the reality?
Well, first off people think I am white. I have never seen myself as white. I have always thought of myself as being Cherokee and thus separate from the white devil race. Overall I think I get labeled on mere looks as a fat redneck. The fat part is true and I do know what to look for when buying a dairy cow or a work horse. Mere knowledge of certain aspect of the aggie life does not a redneck make. Also people assume I am a Christian. I have never seen myself that way. To quote Abe Lincoln: "When I do good, I feel good; when I do bad, I feel bad, and that is my religion."
2. Which of those things are you "out" about (i.e., which ones do you tend to choose to explicitly reveal or clarify)? Why?
I bristle at people that people think that not Christian equals spiritually dead.
3. Which of those things are you not "out" about? Why?
Well if I am not out about something why the hell would I put it here? And that something else that is none of your business.
4. Does your level of "outness" vary between social situations (e.g. work, family, friends)? If yes, what are the differences?
Of course. You cannot revile yourself as happy or well rounded to the world. That pisses people off.
5. How would you define "coming out"?
People always think it has to be something huge. Could be something small. I have the Spice Girls movie on VHS! There, I am out.
This is Halloween
1) If you're dressing up (yourself or your kids) for Halloween, who are you/they going to be?
I got a simple hockey goalie mask that I plan on wearing with a hoodie.
2) Handmade costumes or store-bought?
Store bought - this year.
3) What age did you last go trick-or-treating?
age 17
4) Have you ever egged someone's house on Halloween, or done any other such "trick"?
never egged, I did go TPing once.
5) Do you believe in ghosts?
I think they may be possible. We live in an imperfect world.
