Though I've been poking about WP for a few weeks now, I haven't said "hi" properly yet! So a very belated "hullo" to all of you. ^_^ I'll keep the details about myself short, but feel free to ask about anything that piques your curiosity:

I'm a 28-yo single guy living in Des Moines, Iowa. I spent a couple years in the US Air Force, before they found out I was bi and kicked me out. Then I went to college and studied Russian (which is now quite rusty), Psychology, and Art. I hold down a full-time job as an administrative assistant, have a pet chinchilla, go to the odd furry convention, and do a bit of art on the side. My current obsession is Watership Down - and rabbits in general. If you read the book, you may remember what "tharn" means. :albino:

I didn't think that they could kick people out based on their sexual orientation? Seriously, I don't see how being Bi could effect your work in any way....some people are rediculous. :roll:

Anyway, I hope you enjoy posting here.

Thanks, everyone. ^_^ People are so friendly up here!

Brittany - The policy is "no ask, no tell." I confided in someone who outranked me by one stripe. She in turn asked her boss if she had to report it, and apparently she had no choice. I've never blamed her for it; if anything, I regret putting her in that position. At the time, I was crushed... but years later, I know it worked out for the best. Me and the military were a bad match!

Ironically, my nickname in Basic Training was "Rainman".

Oh, right, smooth move there. *points to the big parade of smiley faces* Ya know somebody's probably on the spectrum, so you bring a whole bunch of people he doesn't know to crowd around and make a lot of noise. If ya need me, I'll be in the next room having a panic attack. o_O

j/k of course. ^_^ Pleased to meet you!
