I am 19 years of age.  I live in SA, Australia & am currently attending an adult re-entry college.  I consider myself to be a modern day Socrates; I never assume things and I am very open minded.  I am trying to fight the dividation between gays & hetrosexuals and whites & blacks, etc.  I have a few medical problems which have drastically effected my life, and helped mould me into the person I am today.  I have Asthma, Scoliosis, Coeliac Disease and Friedreich's Ataxia.  The last two listed are probly the most seriolus and annoying.  Coeliac Disease isn't really a disease; it means I have an intollerance to gluten which is a natural protein found in wheat.  The only treatment for this is to avoid all foods that contain gluten, and believe me, it's not easy.  Friedreich's is a rare disorder similar to Muscular Dystrophy.  There is no treatment or cure, but I get by.  I am a gay man, although I use the term PSSR (Prefers Same Sex Relasionships).  I use that term because the term gay implies so many things which I am not, and it also creates a border between heterosexual (POSR) and homosexual people when there is no difference.  We are all people.  I am out to most people, I dont walk around saying, "I'm gay! I'm gay!"  So I've led an interesting life.  My goals for the future are a bit mixed up at the moment.  I've always had a love for writing stories and poetry so I'm looking into that.  I've also loved singing, but only recently I realised it's an obtainable goal.  I'll get there.
I love to sing, I do it all the time around the house.  I don't have much self esteem or confidence in myself so I havn't really sung in public, but that's something I'm working on.  I'm obsessed with my notebook computer and messing around on it.  I love using Adobe Illistrator and Adobe Photoshop.  I'm also obsessed with Age of Empires II, The Sims Livin' Large and Theme Hospital.  But I'm not a total geek, I love spending time with my mates.  I don't have heaps of them but they're the best!
My family is very close and stick together through everything.  I am very close to my mum and dad, mum's my best friend.  My nanna is wicked too.  My bestest mate who's been there for me for almost half my life is my friend Lisa.  She has overcokme so much in her life and remains strong, I really admire her.  She has a gorgeous baby son named Andrew who is the most devious and adorable baby I have ever met.
