Hey, you!
Yes, you, the one with that face. And those eyes. Reading this.
I think the most important thing to understand about blogging is that if you are blogging for other people you are going to be disappointed. Even if no one would read it, I would still blog […] this is a great chance for me to clear my thoughts and put them into the world, what an opportunity.
—Seth Godin, on defining success
You think that if you read this blurb that’s supposed to be about me, you’ll learn a thing or two. You hope I choose to divulge to the public that I’m an iOS fangirl, or that I prefer my coffee black and strong.
Guess what? You’re out of luck. I’m not going to tell you about how I’m proud to work a blue-collared job, who once tried to major in computer programming.
So, you can stop reading this right now, because you aren’t going to learn a single thing about me. So, there. 😝
Yeah, I know, I’m rather quite the slacker if not quite nerdy. That’s okay; I’m fine with that. The basics, however, that you didn’t learn from that spiel up there is that…
—I am visually butch, but proudly a woman.
—I go by the name Charlie.
—I live a simple but comfortable life in rural New Jersey; that, unlike the general stereotype of the small-town queer who packs up to leave for the big city, I choose to remain a country girl, like many of my sisters before me.
You should read the above spiel again if you get didn’t that I’m a loud and proud, stone-butch lesbian and queer woman. If you did, then you may revel in its glory.
And if you want to drop a message, drop me a line—I promise I won’t “byte” back. 🥲
