    nobody knows

    Hello everyone! Most of you are new friends so let me tell you a little about myself... That I'm 37, a lesbian, and live in central Arkansas you can pick up from my profile... The wiccan bit is not quite correct... I'm a druid Ovate (if ya wanna know, ask). I work at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock as a Pre-Award Specialist... I would describe the job but your spleen would pass out from bordom. I live with two girlfriends in a three bedroom house, drive a Jeep Liberty, and am about as real a person as you are likely to find.

    I don't use drugs ('cept prescriptions), don't drink, and am quitting smoking. I believe that rapists and pediphiles should be hung in public, I don't personally believe in abortion but I strongly support a person's right to choose for themself, and that nobody NOBODY who wants to be in a political office should be allowed to!!!

    It is quite a feeling to be able to reduce most people to stuttering uncomfortable masses by telling them about myself... I had an add request Friday from a woman in Maine... we emailed and IMed all day and a good part of the evening, and found that we had soooo much in common that I trusted her with that bit of information that I usually keep to myself. What follows is her response on IM:

    "****************** (11/16/2007 8:31:15 PM): OH I DONT KNOW WHAT TO SAY
    Kaitlyn Simpson (11/16/2007 8:33:15 PM): can you understand why it takes a great deal of trust
    ****************** (11/16/2007 8:33:36 PM): YES I CAN I WOULD NEVER TELL ANYONE
    Kaitlyn Simpson (11/16/2007 8:34:32 PM): but, if I met someone I really liked and I didn't tell them, when they finally found out they would feel betrayed
    ****************** (11/16/2007 8:34:58 PM): YES I SEE WHAT YOU MEAN
    Kaitlyn Simpson (11/16/2007 8:35:43 PM): what do you think
    ****************** (11/16/2007 8:36:40 PM): I REALLY DONT KNOW YET ITS A REALLY BIG SHOCK TOO ME
    Kaitlyn Simpson (11/16/2007 8:37:33 PM): yes, it tends to be
    Kaitlyn Simpson (11/16/2007 8:38:29 PM): and almost every time the person I have shared this with has politely or impolitely excused themself never to be heard from again
    ****************** (11/16/2007 8:38:31 PM): YA SORRY BUT I JUST NEED TIME TO THINK
    Kaitlyn Simpson (11/16/2007 8:38:41 PM): thats alright
    Kaitlyn Simpson (11/16/2007 8:39:32 PM): would you like me to let you go for now?
    ****************** (11/16/2007 8:40:40 PM): YA I NEED TO THINK ABOUT THIS OK I WILL LET YOU KNOW TOMORROW
    Kaitlyn Simpson (11/16/2007 8:41:07 PM): alright, have a wonderful evening regardless
    ****************** (11/16/2007 8:41:22 PM): YOU TOO"

    That was the last I heard from her until today, when she deleted me from her friends list and made her page private. I'm not a freak, I'm not a perv, I'm not a criminal... I'm just me... a woman with a birth defect.

    Of course it is a much better feeling to run across the rare ones (Thanks Ron!!) to whom this is just another thing. People like her are what keeps me going and what keeps me from turning bitter.

    If only i could meet that one woman who would love me for who I am, and want me in her life...

    It's even good that those people leave your life immediatly so you don't have to waste your time with narrow minded people who wouldn't understand or accept you completely.

    There are always gonna be people who can...

    Honey I can't imagine what birth defect would cause someone to run like that. We are not here by mistake. Our lives, our physical situations - have reason and lessons. While I would not choose to have my daughter lesbian, it certainly does not change my love or support. I put my foot in my mouth from time to time because I forget there is no choice in the matter - I am always awed at the strength people need to simply stand up and be honest about their lives and choices.
    I know that when you tell your TRUTH, it is no easy thing. The longing for a partner - my heart aches for the piece of your core that is missing. To BE with someone... It's a human desire that should be denied to no one.
    I think you knew I sent Kaiha back to VA to work her relationship out with her partner. I didn't know what else to do. Kaiha begged Angie to love her, to stop hurting her - and the girl would not. Abuse is abuse no matter the sex. It breaks my heart to feel her pain...
    then she calls her dad about Thanksgiving and her daddy hangs the phone up and tells her this gay crap is getting out of hand... and Kaiha cries.
    It ain't easy being people is it?
