Like just about everyone else on this planet, I have a problem
with intimacy. But unlike the majority of the rest, my problem
isn't that I have a desperate longing for and simultaneous terror of
it. My problem is that I'm not afraid of it at all. I've
got the longing without the inhibitions. So I'll happily and
wantonly throw it around to anybody who happens to be inconveniently
trapped with me at a pub quiz. You'll complain about your
girlfriend, and I'll ask you inappropriately personal questions about
your relationship with your mother. You'll ask me what my
weekend was like, and I'll end up giving you disturbingly graphic
details about the one time I was attracted to a boy, and what I think
that says about my gender identity. I am, in a word, awkward. But that's all right with me. I want to talk to people who take
pleasure in sharing and exploring personal details with an eye toward
self discovery and integrity. The only way to find them, is to make
normal people uncomfortable. fair warning.
