1. When did you know you were a lesbian? Well I remember kissing and fooling around with 2 of my best friends when I was in 3rd grade. I remember my brother used to call me a Lesbian. But I never knew what it meant at the time. All through high school I dated guys. It wasn't until I was 20 that I thought to myself "I am so over men". And I swear about 2 weeks later this beautiful woman moved into the apartment next door. We drank some beers and shared some secrets, before I knew it we were kissing. About 2 weeks later I moved all my stuff into her apartment. That was my first ever relationship with a woman and it lasted 4 years. I would still be with her if I wasn't so selfish and insist on gallavanting across the country. Well, that's another story...
2. When did you first act upon this?Oops, I think I already answered that above.
3. Who was there for you during this time? Was it difficult?Honestly, I really didn't have anybody there for me. I confided in a few close friends. I never came out to my mother, but she knew (and knows) what's going on. She even called us the "Muffies". Even to this day, she calls me Muffy in public. I get so embarrased. Granted it stemmed from her calling me a Raggamuffin, because I used to be kind of a hippie. It was just the double meaning of the word. Luckily for me, I have never run into much conflict about my sexuality. Everyone has always been very understanding. And since I don't look the part, when I'm out, nobody would ever guess.
4. If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be?This is easy. Amsterdam. All the way! I have been wanting to visit since I first learned about the place. I know it may not be the best place to live, but anywhere I can go and order up the best smoke in the world works for me!! One day I will get there. And when I do, I may not come back!
5. Who was your first pet? You know, the one who told you that you were destined to be an animal lover! I remember having a parakeet when I was in 2nd grade and I also remember I used to feed this stray cat. I used to wait for that cat every night. I would sit out on the porch and sing "kitty, kitty, kitty". I would be very sad when he didn't show up. And when he did, I would feed him milk and whatever else I could find. I would pet that cat for hours. I remember when I was finished, my hands would be filthy. But I didn't care. I loved that dirty stray cat!
