Okay, okay, So I Have A Couple of Tattoos!!!
1.) On my right upper arm I have a tribal band that goes all around the bicep
*everybody always asks if it hurts to go all the way around, it really doesn't*
2.) On my right way upper arm I have the Blair Witch stick figure symbol
*no, I am not a devil worshipper or like witches, I just thought it looked cool*
3.) On my left bicep I have a half band of Jesus' thorns
*people ask why it doesn't go all the way around, I don't know, it just doesn't*
4.) On my upper back between the shoulder blades I have a sun/fire ball looking thing
*I drew this one myself so I like it a lot*
5.) On my left pectoral is Alanis Morissette's symbol (am) in a circle
*my very 1st tattoo, I got it on the day of seeing her in concert the 4th time*
6.) On my right pectoral is Alanis Morissette's face from the cover of the Jagged Little Pill Cd.
*this is by far my favorite of all of my tattoos, everybody is like, what if you don't like her in 10 years. My response is that if you think that I won't like her in 10 years then you don't know me very well. It took about 4 hours and hurt a lot. It was way worth it.*

On Being Homosexual
I came out of the closet on February 19, 1999. I had grown tired of having to live a lie. I finally accepted who I was and what I had always been. A homosexual. I thought for years that I was different and wrong and that I was a sinner. But when I finally realized that God made me the way I am and loves me the way he/she made me, well then I was a lot better off. My family hasn't exactly always been the pillar of strength that I may have needed in this time of need, but I realize that they did and still do need time to deal with something they might not have a lot of understanding about. I used to think I was cursed because of my sexuality. I thought I could never come out of the closet and lead a normal life. But I finally found the courage to accept what I was and to embrace it rather than run away from it. I am now extremely proud to be a homosexual. I hate it when people ask me if I choose to be gay. I was born gay. I know there are some out there who may choose to be gay, but I know that is not the case with me. I have always had sexual attraction for the same sex, for as long as I could ever recall. It's like how do straight people know they are straight. They just do, they just know. I just know that I am gay. When I am told that I cannot be gay, but that I just haven't found the right girl yet, I am like, how do you know your not gay, maybe you just haven't found the right same sex partner yet. It is such a crazy world that we live in where homosexuality is a minority. I look forward to the day when there is no such thing as coming out of the closet. If there were no problems with it to begin with there would be no stigma and trepidation of having to go through coming out of the closet. It will be a great day indeed when there is no need to fight for gay rights. February 19th was such a powerful day in my life. I hope that every gay person can find the strength to get their anniversary date.
