| Quotes: |
I think the gay community, just like anybody, should be represented in all forms and all types.
<br />
<hr>
I never really do the New Year's Resolution thing. I kind of just try to stay focused, not get too distracted, and do the best I can. And that's something I like to tell myself every year around New Year's.
<br />
<hr>
I was home-schooled for my entire high school experience, so I never went to prom.
<br />
<hr>
I do play the guitar, and I can sing, but just enough to carry a tune.
<br />
<hr>
I really enjoy dancing. When there's music around, I can't help it; I start dancing, especially when I'm with friends. |
