The trouble with about pages is, it’s really hard to tell people about yourself. You can easily say: I like blue, the trees, and chocolate, but what does that actually tell people about yourself? And then of course, you can say that you like who you are and you find yourself funny and you do all these other things and blah blah blah, but that’s only your opinion of yourself, which is much different than the way other people see you. So I will do my best to tell you what other people see me as, only I’ll make it a bit nicer so that I don’t feel like crap.
I like plants. A lot. I’ve got about 50 houseplants, the largest being a 6ft tree. I am always interested in learning new gardening techniques and would absolutely love to add a pond, beehive, and some chickens to my yard. And a goat if I could sneak one in.
At age 16 I have spent my whole life in western Washington. My birthday is February 6th, 1994. I have lived most of my life lying to the people I see everyday about my sexuality. I’m gay, but due to serious levels of harassment and bullying, I have lied blatantly about it. I walk better than several of my friends (all of whom are girls) and have been described as talking as an old smoker lady, as well as Squidward from Spongebob. I can color coordinate, and dress others very well, but I don’t wear anything other than jeans, a t-shirt and a jacket. My main jacket is a large grey thing that I’ve had for over a year, and I wear it almost everyday. I do not stand out; I blend into the surroundings. The ability to stay unnoticed has saved me several times from harassment.
I do not smoke, drink, get high, go to “da club” or hang out at large gatherings. I find my age group to be very irritating and oblivious to the world. For this reason I do not hang with them. I have managed to avoid most illegal activities and plan to keep it that way. I’m boring like that.
I’m an Aquarius. I don’t have a religion, although I am slightly spiritual.
I’m also very conceded. All I’m ever able to talk about is myself. I don’t mean to, and in fact I get really tired of it, but it is the only way I seem able to relate to the world. Forgive me in advance for that habit.
Believe me when I say, I do not care if you like me. If you have a problem with me, feel free to address it. But also know that I’m a bitch. I’m mean when I need to be, and rude when I don’t. I’m usually soft spoken though, so we shouldn’t have any major problems.
WARNING, THIS BLOG IS PRONE TO RAMBLING, RANTING, BITCHING AND COMPLAINING. This blog is about me. Remember, I’m conceded? I talk about my day, my thoughts, my dogs, my yard, my family- everything going on in my life ends up here. Rarely do I write anything that benefits anyone but me. As you read my posts, you will come to know me and all of my faults, as well as my better attributes. You are more than welcome to comment on them. I thrive on stats and comments so please go ahead and say something. I’ll be glad to know that someone is there reading this.
If you ever want to talk to me, just to talk to me or whatever, then please see my Talk To The Writer Page.
For further knowledge about me, see Ten Things You Might Not Know About Me, and Another Ten Things You Didn’t Know About Me.

Here’s a bit about my family/pets.

Your about page is pretty rad. No, actually, it’s really freaky. Some parts you sound exactly like me..
“I do not smoke, drink, get high, go to “da club” or hang out at large gatherings. I find my age group to be very irritating and oblivious to the world. For this reason I do not hang with them. I have managed to avoid most illegal activities and plan to keep it that way. I’m boring like that.

That’s something I would say almost word for word. Lately I’ve been more tolerant of the rest of my age group, but it’s still something I’d likely say.
Please stay awesome (like me 😛 )
Lol, ok, I’ll stay awesome. If only just for you.
I did go to “da club” once not too long ago. My punishment was being stung by a bee and having to rush to the ER because my throat was closing up. I wouldn’t’ve gone clubbing again, but the bee sting really sent a clear message lol.
Great Intro Willow. You’re gonna do just fine.
Hi, nice to meet you !
Thats shit.
They should accept you for who you are.
Screw them– be yourself 😀
Being yourself is much harder to do when you don’t really like being in your own skin all the time.
Oh it’s fine, I’ve come to terms with that whole issue. My background is the same as yours except that my fathers side thinks themselves too holy to be dirtied with a gay in the family. They are really annoying, but I still manage to love some of them. I feel like I battle with depression everyday but at the same time I know that it’s such a waste to feel that way. I was suicidal a few months ago, I would’ve loved to have died, but I would’ve never taken my own life because it goes against everything I believe.
+1
My father’s side of the family would completely disown me (except for maybe two or three people). My mother’s side is pretty ok with it I think, except for maybe one or two of the guys. But I don’t talk with them anyway so I could careless about them. I’m sorry to hear that your situation is similar to mine though.
It amazes me how close-minded people are. Are gay people really THAT horrible that other people need to shout as us from across the street, just to call us names? I’m not making any bit of an impact on homophobic people; they simply hate blindly.
A very interesting encounter I must say 😛
And well…I can understand how it feels to be the odd one out. You must not have experienced it with religion, but that’s where I face the discrimination…
Btw where are you from? 🙂
I don’t bother with religion. The worshipping of deities is too much effort with so little result. I prefer to use the energies around me to benefit myself, as well as others. What religion do you practice? If you don’t mind sharing.
I reside in Washington, in the US at the moment. Hopefully soon I can move to Greece or somewhere with a similar climate. Much as I love Washington, I can’t stand the constant grey sky.
i wish i had fishh 😮
i love ranting online, its funn 😀
I really need to clean out their tank soon. The sides have started to turn green again.
The promise of ranting online is the only thing that gets me through my day.
Hey, well done on the view count, I just started and its going slow 😦
Cool blog 🙂
Thanks, it’s usually pretty slow around here, things randomly picked up a few days ago but they’re getting back to the norm. Your blog isn’t half bad either.
Well I went your about page, hehehehe! 😆
I gave you the Honest award FYI, it was given to me by pinochina so I’m passing it on….
http://kymleemurphy.wordpress.com/2010/01/15/the-honest-award/
take care!
Is your name really Willow (not trying to be rude of anything)? I’ve never met a guy named Willow. Pretty unique 🙂
Thanks, it’s a bit of a nick name but it’s not far off from my real name. I took my real one down shortly after I got back into blogging. My real name still occurs in some places on the blogging web. If you can find it you can know it 😉 lol.
Oh, well, to be honest, I’m not really concerned about views or anything, I rarely check my hits. 😛 I dunno, if I read a really good blog, I’ll just tell my blog friends about it. And my readers can find other readers by who comments. 🙂 And that’s how my blogisphere expands. 😉
Hmm… that’s a good way to ensure your stuff gets read. Interesting… I’ll need to think about that lol.
No, no, I don’t have a blogroll. I just use Google Reader to keep track of the blogs that I read. 🙂
Oh you should make one, that way people who view your blog can see who you like to read. Helps spread views and such.
Hehehe, I loved your comments on my blog… therefore I had to come and say hi! 🙂 I think I’m going to add your blog to my feeds, your writing is so captivating. YAY BLOG BUDDIES?!
I apologize for any insanity. It’s like 3:31am here, and I am insane at a normal hour, and the darkness does things to me. So… CRAZAY!
I did not think you were a girl, so do I win? :O
PS. YOUR DOGS LOOK AWESOME. I love anyone who loves animals. You remind me of a boy in the novel I’m writing for WriMo. Are you a sketcher?
Omg girl you are just like my cousin lol. She’s been talking all night about how behind she is in her story (she’s got like 36,000 to go, it ain’t happenin’.) I added you to my feeds as soon as I commented on your blog. Do you have a blogroll on your blog? I didn’t see one when I was there. Oh and thanks about my dogs, I just spent the last ten minutes rolling around on the floor with them because I just got home lol.
As someone who was frequently mistaken for a girl when I was a teenager, I am so deeply embarrassed to discover that I’ve made the same mistake with you! My deepest and most sincere apologies.
I come from a background where a male who thinks and speaks the way I do, and cares about the things I do, is automatically assumed to be gay at heart, if not openly. And after having a breakdown and being diagnosed with depression, I think that many saw it as confirmation of their opinions.
Again, my apologies. You’re probably one of the few who can see that, just because a person’s views put them in the majority, it doesn’t mean that he or she is the sane one! 🙂

Your blog fascinates me for some unkown reason. I enjoy reading it. And, not to mention, you live in my favorite state 🙂
Lol well I’m glad it does :D. I love Washington, though I do like Hawaii better. I’m a tropical environment fan.
Thanks for the comment on my blog! All the best. 🙂
Nice blog u have got here. LL come back at leisure time.. Bye
Freddie
i think willabe’s a nice name. it’s interesting. not anything plain, or boring, like Amber. your name probably has some cool story behind it, unlike mine. ‘we knew that that was what color you were going to be.’ no joke. though, when i was born, i was purple… so why wasn’t i named violet? lol…
I’m SLOWLY thinking about environmentalism. Any suggestions for useful reading against the MANY who say it’s a waste (interesting pun there with the word “waste”)?
The more I read your blog, the more confused I get…..now I have a headache…
Peace to you and yours,
