Hello all,
You all deserve to know who I am if i expect you all to keep reading. I am a kid, a teenager on the cusp of graduating from one school being shuttled to another one. I have a few names, if that makes sense. I know it doesn't but I'll explain. My given name is Daniel, and I like that name. Dan, Daniel, Danny. Ok, I don't really like Danny but the other two are fair game. Dan is my family name; it's the name my close family call me or my very early friends or my newly made friends. Any friends made in the last two years of high school or in elementary school will call me Dan.
Now I said before that I have a few names. Another one is Wendi. Yes Wendi, with an i. And I know what you're thinking right now. Something along the lines of "how gay is this kid to be called by a stupid girls name?" Actually I hope most of you don't think that but there might be some of you I've pegged to a tee. Others of you probably don't care and think I'm some sort of loon to pay this much attention to names. Well I think names are powerful and have a lot of meaning. Anyways. I got this name in middle school from a friend. Most people who call me Wendi don't actually know where it comes from. They just see me as a big friendly guy with a disarming name so it's easy to make friends with me. The name actually stemmed from playing a prank on a substitute in sixth grade. My friend talia switched names with Sara, and since neither could remember that they actually switched names we ended up calling them tsara and stalia. I didn't have anyone to swith with so talia dubbed me Wendy. I changed it to be Wendi with an i to really own the name. It's different with a nickname. You get the Power to decide your own name for once so you'd better not screw it up. Wendi ended up fusing with part of Dan and thus created wendidani, probably my favorite Internet name I have. And this conveniently leads into my last and newest name:
Xince. It's the newest identity I have. It's a little silly, but it's my online gaming name and general forum name. I got it from a random generator. I know, how out of my control is that? But I owned Xince, and now it's mine.
Whenever I don one of these names I take on an entirely different personality. Daniel is more reserved, Wendi is outgoing but still unsure of his own skin sometimes, and Xince will rush into battle to save comrades or fight a war on the forums with his array of words. I know, how weird does it get? And ive only told you about my names, you have no idea who or what I am. Here comes allllll that.
I am eighteen as of this moment, closer to being nineteen than I'd like to be. I am gay and have known this since I was eleven and have been out since I was either thirteen or fourteen. It's a wonderful feelng to fInally come out; you have no idea how long you've been holding your breath until you finally breathe again. I have a great family that supported and still supports me. I'd be lost without my mom, dad, and sister. I'll refer to them as sister, mother, and dad or something like that; I'm not willing to give everyone with Internet access to their names. Much too valuable information. I have awesome friends. I take hard subjects in school and do pretty well in tem. Well, all but ap physics. I need to do something about that... Anyways. I am starting/started this blog as a sort of diary where everyone can read it. It's a inconspicuous little piece of the giant collection of tubes that is the interwebs. As long as I'm not some amazing writer who is amazingly fascimaging, that should happen. I love video games. Lovelovelove them. Escpecially jrpgs. I probably made friends wih that comment. I cannot stand fps though. I probably made more enemies with that statement. Oh well. It's my choice.
This is my life. You're reading it. In the next installment we see Daniel face off against the American education system and his high school career, as well as some good books he has read in his schooling career. Sounds like a fun time and you'd be crazy to miss it.
Thanks.
Dan
