5 Things No One Would Know About You From BFP Alone

[Words]

1. My dream 'pet' would be a (rescue) marmoset or other kind of monkey.

2. I can be pretty morbid. Memento mori, autopsy photographs, anything do with death/dying, that's the kind of thing I look for on YouTube when I'm looking to relax a bit (I was the kid who snuck out of school to eat her packed lunch in the cemetery opposite so this isn't exactly something new).

3. I recently had a mini facelift and my upper and lower lids done after years of saying I would ''never, ever'' have cosmetic surgery. I originally justified the eyelid surgery by saying that it was necessary in order to improve my eyesight, which it did (I have peripheral vision loss due to glaucoma/other eye issues). I'm now planning a tummy tuck for the autumn and won't be justifying it to anyone. (Go me!)

4. I love (and miss) disco.

5. I don't cook. Ever. I have a butch who loves to cook and I am more than happy for Him to do so.

{-1-} I was homeless for the past 2 1/2 years.

{-2-} Part of the learning process in being Homeless has left me with borderline OCD & my PTSD-related hypervigilance has increased twice as strong.

{-3-} After my Aunt sent for us to return to Puerto Rico, I suffered 2 hairline hip fractures on my right side after passing out from heat exhaustion{it was in the high 90s and I was fresh off of hemoDialysis}, requiring hip replacement, leaving me with a slight limp

{-4-} I don't let nobody babysit my Service Animal for Deaf, the Hospital has 2 choices, allow her in my room w/o protest, or I sign out AMA and contact a Lawyer for the Disabled...

{-5-} I'm back in College for 2014, with a few Major/Minor concentration changes all of them focusing on Pre-Law {{ Major: Socio-Cultural Anthropology, Double Minor: Religious Studies & Gender}}

I've read your post and I want you to know that I am empathetic. I cannot imagine the hardship. I care about that...I don't know you and I'm helpless in lending a hand—first hand. But I want you to know, I am supportive and I am going to do something quietly and privately to help you in a way you're not aware of.

If there are positive changes in your life, please let us know. And know, that I am thinking of you and concerned for your welfare.

I'm shy in some things. I won't make the first move when I'm out with someone. I just can't. I haven't had to for the past decade so getting back into the Vancouver thing where butches don't make first moves (? Or something?) I have sat parked in a car outside my house for up to an hour talking, feeling really confused because aren't they supposed to at the very fucking least try to kiss me here? Isn't that the whole point of sitting in a parked car outside my house? And waiting.... And waiting.... And nothing.... Dum de dum.... Ok this is agonizing for me now, I don't understand why we are sitting here, I'm going to go. And I leave feeling horribly disappointed. Then confused as to why they are calling and asking me out again if they don't want to kiss/shag me. It's obviously not for hanging out, they are asking me on date things. But they don't try to kiss me and they don't ask to stay over or put their hand on my leg or....???

So if that happens twice, I turn down the third date. It seems that it's a pointless exercise in awkward and growing confusion. I've had one take me on six dates and nothing happened. Why? Why would I keep going? I have no idea what that person wanted from me. I don't understand. I finally stopped going and finally stopped responding to messages.

So, I can't make first moves. At all. I can ask someone to go hang out for a beer. But I can't make the first physical moves. Apparently this is a hideous handicap now. Wasn't before, now is.

I am terrified. TERRIFIED of cockroaches and stinkbugs. Any insect that flies, forget it.

If I could eat burgers and fries every day – I would. I love a good, greasy burger.

I am all about DIY the more rustic and homemade the better

With a few exceptions, I prefer the company of animals to that of people.

If I'm not going anywhere you bet your sweet aspercream I will stay in my pjs all damn day!

4. When solicitors come calling, I invite them in and try to sell stuff to them.

I strongly dislike rain, and in fact I have trouble falling asleep if it's raining because the noise is distracting. I have been working on not actively hating it, until recently it affected me negatively emotionally.

I freeze at 20 degrees celcius. Hate the cold.

Despite identifying as a butch, I'm very shy and rarely make the first move.

I don't own or particularly want any kind of video games or video game players, apart from a couple of board games on my phone.

I have never traveled overseas for the sake of a holiday. I've been overseas twice but both times were for a specific purpose. I'm not in any hurry to change that.
