Introverts, in contrast, may have strong social skills and enjoy parties and business meetings, but after a while wish they were home in their pajamas. They prefer to devote their social energies to close friends, colleagues, and family. They listen more than they talk, think before they speak, and often feel as if they express themselves better in writing than in conversation. They tend to dislike conflict. Many have a horror of small talk, but enjoy deep discussions.

Never has a paragraph described me so perfectly before. This is me in every sense.

Actual conversation.

Me: “I’ve been told that in the future, you know, when the time comes, I have to be the one to propose.”
Some girl: “I heard that girls can propose on leap years.”
Me: “well… We’re both girls.”
Girl: “…oh.”

Day twenty.

Maureen or Joanne? (Or your favorite LGBTQ show or queer-positive show)

This is like a carbon-copy of the previous question.

Day nineteen.

Butch or Femme?

Uh, yes? I don’t know. I don’t really fit into either category. However, my girlfriend likes to say that I am straight in all ways except that I like girls. So.

Day eighteen.

Something about the LGBTQ community you don’t understand or have a question about.

I don’t understand why more celebrities don’t come out. Seriously.

Day seventeen.

Your first experience with an LGBT organization or event (Day of Silence, Pride, etc).

I first experienced the Day of Silence in High School, but didn’t participate. When I went to college, I began to question my sexuality on a much deeper level, and sought out guidance and kinship. I found a group called the Orlando Youth Alliance. It was a small group of 13-18 year-old kids who wanted to get together to discuss the problems they were facing at home, at school, and in life. The group helped me immensely and I encourage everyone who needs a feeling of unity with the LGBT community to seek out these types of groups.

Day fifteen.

Your favorite LGBT quote.
I just found this, but I love the message. I’m on my way to taking it to heart.

“If you dream of a world in which you can put your partner’s picture on your desk, then put her picture on your desk…and you will live in such a world. And if you dream of a world in which you can walk down the street holding your partner’s hand, then hold her hands…and you will live in such a world. If you dream of a world in which there are more openly gay elected officials, then run for office…and you will live in such a world. And if you dream of a world in which you can take your partner to the office party, even if your office is the US House of Representatives, then take her to the party. I do, and now I live in such a world. Remember, there are two things that keep us oppressed —- them and us. We are half of the equation.”

-Tammy Baldwin
The first out lesbian and the first openly gay non-incumbent elected to the United States Congress.

Day fourteen.

Your favorite LGBT song or artist.
It’s not my favourite necessarily, but I feel I should mention September’s Children (Make it Stop) by Rise Against. It’s awesome that such a popular, well-known band put out an anti-bullying, lgbt-friendly song. It’s great.

Day thirteen.

Your favorite LGBT role model/celebrity

Ellen Degeneres is an incredible inspiration for all lgbt people, because she works every day to show that homosexual people are just like everyone else, and can be great entrepreneurs and humanitarians.

Dani Shay is my favourite lgbt musician. She is also a big inspiration to the community.

John Barrowman, RuPaul, and Janet Mock also come to mind.

Day twelve.

Your favorite LGBT movie (or one you’d like to see)

Probably DEBS. Haha. I know it’s lame, but Jordana Brewster is hot. That being said, I also really enjoy Imagine Me and You. It’s sweet.

Day eleven.

Your favorite LGBT book (or one you’d like to read)

Ohhhh, boy. Okay, so I read gay teen fiction constantly. I have since I was in early high school. I think I’ve basically read them all. So here are some of my faves.

Gayness: The Rainbow Boys trilogy is excellent. Check ‘em out. Also check out Someday This Pain Will Be Useful to You, Peter, and DEFINITELY check out Will Grayson Will Grayson.

Lesbianity: Annie On My Mind, Keeping You a Secret, and Empress of the World are my personal favourites, but also check out The Bermudez Triangle and Same Sex in the City.

Day ten.

What does marriage mean to you?

Obviously, marriage is a religious institution at its core, but I think that in our society it has become a sort of a given for any manner of couple, whether they are religious or not. I am not religious, but I like the idea of the lifelong bond between two people. Not to mention the financial and personal benefits of marriage.
