This is it.  My blog. A place to be 100% real – something I’ve never done before.  Oh, I’m real enough to my family but in public not so much. There are a lot of reasons I hid myself but the end result is that I learned to filter myself.

Then I hit the big 5-0.  Maybe it was the age or maybe I was finally ready but my personal motto became,  “Go Big or Go Home”. It was time to just be myself in the world. It started with personal expression and has grown from there.   Now I want to go bigger. Broader.

So here I am.

I am an introverted, physically disabled philosophical feminist.  I’m also funny, beautiful and seriously snarky.

I take a lot of things seriously but I take very little with solemnity.  

I mock everything.  

I am neither sentimental nor romantic.  

I am sensual and sexual.  

On the gender scale, I am totally at the female end despite having been told by many men that I have serious balls.  I don’t. Stepping up has nothing to do with your genitals and everything to do with your will. Mine is formidable.

On the sexuality scale, I am almost dead center.  

I prefer OT3 to OTP.  

I admire Captain America and Superman but I love IronMan and Batman.  Wonder Woman and Buffy are my heroes.

I choose Star Trek over Star Wars every single time.  

The fourth Doctor is my Doctor but the tenth Doctor speaks to my soul.  I gave up during the eleventh Doctor because of Steven Moffat’s misogyny but I often consider turning back.  

I am a faerie and a dragon.  If you can see them clearly, then you know I am neither Tinkerbell nor Elliot. Behaving well, being beautiful and surrounded by shinies doesn’t change that.

So this is my place to be publicly real.  How public only time will tell but after a lifetime of shy, discretion it is time to put it out there.  It’s a little terrifying but mostly it’s exciting.
