Hey while I’m up at 4:00 am let’s make a new intro post.

Well okay here we go, my name’s Damien and I’m a bisexual girl, 21 years old. Call me Dame.

I live in Illinois and I hate it here. Nobody understands me. And no I don’t mean that to be emo I mean literally I’m surrounded by dumbfuck rednecks, wiggers, douches, and other such fools. The only people who get me? Fucking forty year old men who are practically my uncles. But obviously I can’t tell them everything. But that’s what I have my therapist for, but I can’t afford him.
It’s a pretty sad life when you can feel the gears rusting to a halt in someone’s brain when you say words like “positively” or “plethora” and this is far from an uncommon occurrence for you.

So I turn to the Internet instead, for the most part. I’ve flown out twice to meet good friends and it sure is nice to get away from the stupid.

I would like to move to a Euro country, preferably one dominated by English because I can’t for the life of me get a hold of Spanish (it’s been five fucking years!!).

Number one thing I’m interested in: humans, especially in regards to sex, sexuality, and gender. So that would place me quite a digger into the fields of sexology, biology, psychology, and sociology. It obviously also places me into activism in relation to LGBT and gender issues, which do include reproductive, privacy, and bodily autonomy rights. I do not believe in sluts, I support prostitution, I am pro-choice, I am anti-involuntary genital modifications of any kind, and I would like to be a sex education teacher but trying to get a job teaching actual sex education in the US is like trying to get a fishing job in the desert. I would love to major in sexology but considering that I’d never be able to pay my student loans or get through life. Which is a shame because the glorious Kinsey Institute is only two hours away.

But no, instead, I’m going into pharmaceuticals, hoping to be certified as a pharmacy tech, maybe going on to being a pharmacist. I was originally planning to be a veterinary tech but ehhh it just didn’t want to fit, even though I quite adore animals.

Speaking of animals, I have several. I adore cats with all my heart, and you’ll see them a lot on here. I have five of them myself. I also have a dog and a rabbit.

I have dysthymia, a type of depressive disorder. I wondered if I had autism or ADD, but after inquiring further with my therapist I’ve put those fears to rest. I’m just depressed. Whoopie?
I have to take two medications for it, but I forget the name of one. Effexor and something else. Effexor makes my pupils fucking huge.

Speaking of huge pupils, I sort of smoke pot. I guess. I don’t really like smoking it because, while the high is just so awesome and so good for my depression, smoking is a pain in the fucking ass and I don’t know how anyone can do it. Can’t stand alcohol, either.
Obviously since I am interested in the rights of bodily autonomy I am also interested in drug regulations. But I don’t get a lot of news about that so you won’t see it that much.

Honestly I hate politics, but I still secretly want to be an activist, as in out in the real world. I can’t handle attention, though. I really can’t. It makes it hard for me to be myself because I can’t handle any attention that results from it. It overwhelms me.

I don’t watch TV all that much but when I do it’s usually Regular Show, Adventure Time, The Big Bang Theory, and such. I usually try to keep up with My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic and Hellsing Ultimate here on the Internet but I’ve been very bad about that.

I enjoy visual art a whole lot, though I have a really eccentric sense of aesthetics. I wanted to put a poster of the mad tea party from Disney’s Alice in Wonderland in our livingroom. I like Jackson Pollock. But I don’t like Andy Warhol or many famous paintings by others.
I try to produce my own but ehhh I’m really discouraged and disenchanted with it. I hope I can break from this funk. I can’t even write, as it stands.

Going on the art, we turn to music. I love to listen to music. I usually listen to rock and metal, and my favourite bands include Pink Floyd, System of a Down, Styx, Dalriada, Sonata Arctica, The Who, Ensiferum, Nightwish, The Beatles, but I do sometimes listen to other things and so I do enjoy Gorillaz and of Montreal.

I’m nerdy. I like cartoons and Star Trek and games and science and useless facts and Dungeons & Dragons and blah blah blah.

This blog will be a lot of reblogging, a lot of personal shit, and a lot of activism shit.
