Who am I?

I am a dedicated dancer and a practicing artist of various types. I enjoy drawing, painting, ceramic-ing, and, of course, writing! I love books, as long as they're not schoolwork (ex. Anne Frank, Ethan Frome, The Great Gatsby... you get the idea).

Whenever people ask me, “What kind of dance do you do?”, it always takes me a little while to answer. I currently take jazz, modern, tap, 3 ballet classes (all regular shoes- I was recently in PT for tendonitis in my ankles, knees, and hips, so starting pointe this year would have been out of the question, even if I was ready!), lyrical, musical theatre, jazz technique, and a class for turns, leaps, and combinations, oh-so-creatively dubbed TLC. Can you guess what that stands for? In addition, I am also the student teacher for one of my favorite teachers, Amy, assisting her in a modern class for eight 9-10 year old girls. I get to demonstrate combinations, make corrections, and sometimes help them play improvisation games; it's quite possibly the best thing ever. =)

Art is my next passion; I love working with just about any medium, but charcoal and chalk pastels are at the top of the list. I'm currently building my first AP portfolio, with my concentration being incorporating colors into black-and-white art. If you care to check my out on deviantART, keep an eye out for new works; I just might get around to posting them within the next millennium.

When I'm not dancing or drawing, I'll be writing, wasting my life reading comic books, or maybe working on some homework. I have a younger sister, Rachel Danielle, who looks nothing like me (she's adopted) and is also bisexual. Gay rights are very important to me, especially considering she trusted me enough to be the first one she came out to, before our parents even. I also have a younger, biological, brother, Patrick Joseph, who is a freaky little genius child.

You can also follow me on Tumblr (*hint hint*): http:///

I am very picky when it comes to pairings in my fics. Call me crazy, but I usually feel that characters paired together by their creators are better than pairings put together by fans. I also don't read a lot of slash, unless it is seriously a canon pairing; as I said, I am very much a supporter of gay right. My feelings are that, as unimportant as sexuality is to a person's character, it is still a part of them. Don't go changing characters just so you can get some extra smut. That being said, I usually become freakishly attached to any characters and/or pairings I come to love, gay or straight!

That being said being said, here are just some of my favorite fandoms and pairings;

Bones- Brennan/Booth, Angela/Hodgins

Doctor Who (and spin-offs)- 10/Rose, Martha/Mickey, Jack/Ianto, Amy/Rory

Star Trek- Spock/Uhura, Chekov/Joanna McCoy

NCIS- Abby/McGee

Glee- Kurt/Blaine, Rachel/Finn, Sam/Mercedes, Brittany/Santana

DC- Dick/Barbara, Bruce/Selina, Barry/Iris, Wally/Linda, Donna/Roy, Kyle/Jade

Marvel- Nightcrawler/Scarlet Witch, Rogue/Gambit, Kitty/Colossus, Billy/Teddy, Cassie/Jonas, Eli/Kate, Tony/Pepper, Rictor/Shatterstar, Loki/His fabulous self!

Percy Jackson- Percy/Annabeth, Nico/Rachel

Harry Potter- Harry/Ginny, Ron/Hermione, Luna/Neville

Is it obvious that I'm pretty much a sucker for canon? =)

Love is love, regardless of race or gender

I support gay-marriage all the way. As already mentioned, my younger sister is bisexual, and no matter who she marries, I totally get dibs on maid-of-honor! Being gay isn't a choice; if it were, why would anyone choose to be gay in a society that hates them so much? If you don't like it, well, you're not the one getting married, now are you? There are plenty of gay couples out there who are a thousand times more faithful and loving than many straight couples, and all they ask is that they be allowed to marry!

Notice: To all those who think Homophobia is wrong and want to fight for a better future for our gay and lesbian friends please re-post this into your profile:

I am the girl kicked out of her house because I confided in my mother I am a lesbian.

I am the prostitute working the streets because nobody will hire a transsexual woman.

I am the sister that holds her gay brother tight through the painful, tear-filled nights

We are the parents who buried our daughter long before her time.

I am the man who died alone in the hospital because they would not let my partner of twenty-seven years into the room.

I am the foster child who wakes up with nightmares of being taken away from the two fathers who are the only loving family I have ever had. I wish they could adopt me.

I am one of the lucky ones, I guess. I survived the attack that left me in a coma for three weeks and in another year I will probably be able to walk again.

I am not one of the lucky ones. I killed myself just weeks before graduating high school; it was simply to much to bear.

We are the couple that had the realtor hang up on us when she realized we wanted to rent a one-bedroom for two men.

I am the person who never knows which bathroom I should use if I want to avoid getting the management called on me

I am the mother who is not allowed to even visit the children I bore, nursed and raised. The court says I'm an unfit mother because I now live with another woman.

I am the domestic violence survivor who found the support system suddenly grow cold and distant when they found out my abusive partner is also a woman.

I am the domestic partner who has no support system to turn to because I am male.

I am the father who has never hugged his son because I grew up afraid to show affection to other men.

I am the Home-Economics teacher who always wanted to teach gym until someone told me that only lesbians do that.

I am the man who died when the paramedics stopped treating me as soon as they realized I was transsexual.

I am the person who feels guilty because I think I could be a much better person if I did not have to always deal with society hating me.

I am the man who stopped attending church; not because I don't believe but because they closed their doors to 'my kind'.

I am the person who is afraid of telling his loving Christian parents he loves another male.

I am the person who has to hide what this world needs most; love.

Re-post this if you believe homophobia is wrong; do your part to end it.

So, to round everything off, please PM me if you have any questions, concerns, or simply wanna talk! Happy reading! =)
