i feel as though... for all this journal does much to give away important parts of who i am, it does nothing to describe to the people who read it who i am in more concrete terms. so this is a sort of bio page. my name is alex, i am twenty, i live in canada, i'm a vegetarian. by all technical terms i am a lesbian but to be honest i consider myself a little more loosely defined than that because i would still date a man if the right one came along; i haven't closed the door on that chapter simply because i generally prefer women. i have one year of university under my belt and am moving far away from home to complete a degree in writing with a minor in... well, i have no idea yet. i read a lot, paint, write, collage, photograph things, pretty much anything creative, i do. i have a vertical labret piercing and a tattoo on the inside of my left wrist. body modification is something i'm really passionate about so i plan on doing more with it later. most of my friends are sixteen/seventeen/eighteen year old lesbians and more often than not i feel kind of like the mom of our group of friends because i take care of everyone. i like taking care of people, however sometimes i find it overwhelming, especially when people take my capacity to care for granted and i often get into funks where i won't talk to anyone at all just to rebuild my stability so i can run against the wall again. some random info... i don't ever like to have my feet on the floor, i sit cross-legged whenever possible, i hate large spoons so i usually eat everything with teaspoons, i've read white oleander at least twenty times, i start wearing sandals as soon as the temperature goes above zero because i hate any shoes that require socks, i can't share blankets with anyone because i pull all blankets towards me until i've rolled myself into a cocoon; i always manage to find pet birds, cats, whatever else, wherever i go; i dream crazy, crazy things all the time and i remember a significant amount of my dreams; i read tarot cards and i like to think i'm pretty good at it.
