Identity
* My gender field is blank for a reason. Don't make assumptions about what you think it is - or should be.
* I am a collective with individual components (although there is a composite identity that we share), not a singular individual. As such, we sometimes (but not always) refer to ourself as 'we', to indicate that we are speaking collectively, as distinct from the individuals who comprise the whole.
* Our identity is not defined by our physical body, and diverges from that form in a number of different ways. There are some distinct features that are true of all of us collectively, and others that only apply to specific individuals within the collective.
* Most of us do not identify as human, but we recognise that we are physically incarnate in human form and must therefore adhere to certain human mandates. This aspect of our identity is part of our spirituality, and not a delusion about the physical world.
Relationships
* It takes quite a bit to earn my trust. I'm a survivor, and have had trust betrayed too many times to give it to just anyone who approaches me.
* I believe in the natural development of a friendship into something more if it is meant to be. If you expect to have intimate relations with me, without bothering to get to know me as a friend, you're likely to hit a brick wall.
* When I love, I love deeply and absolutely. This doesn't mean that I'll accept or tolerate abuse; if a relationship becomes unhealthy for me, I will leave for the good of everyone involved, most notably myself. It doesn't mean that the love has died, but merely that the relationship dynamic has become unsustainable.
* Honest communication is vitally important to me. While tact and diplomacy have their place, saying that everything is fine when it isn't really bothers me. I really dislike being bullshat (bullshitted? whatever...).
Random
* When not frozen by crippling anxiety, I'm a civil rights and social justice activist in Real Life (whatever that means). I'm also told that I cook decently well.
* I'm better-educated than I look. I reject the formal education system not because I haven't had access to it, or wasn't successful with it, but because I have had and was.
* We frequently find ourself immersed in philosophical meanderings on the nature of identity, perception, and even reality. Based on our own experiences, it is impossible for us to accept the standard materialist view of the universe without contradicting Descartes (cogito ergo sum): If we (the thinking and questioning and self-aware members of this body's consciousness) are not real, and merely delusions of a simple deranged human (who does NOT think or reflect or otherwise examine zir own existence), then where does that leave us?
* For 2015, we decided to write a novel. The idea had been brewing in our head for years, but with the help of Ksenia Anske, we felt the encouragement and motivation to actually make it happen. It's not going as quickly as we'd like, but a goal is to have a complete draft by mid-year, and a finished product by the end of 2015.
In summary:
i'm neither male nor female, but with some traits of each...
i'm also more snake than human, but circumstances have been a bit awkward about that...
And finally, i'm made of magic and love, in a world where both are in short supply.
That's all I can think of to put here for now. I'll edit or add to it as needed.
