jsemJOURNAL
As addressed in the first few entries here, the primary purpose of this blog is to be honest. What you'll find upon reading will, for the most part, be a discussion of both daily life and some of the topics that most affect me from day to day. It will, at many times, probably sound like a bit of a talk-through. This is today's topic, this is what I think and how I feel on said topic, question and discuss as you see fit, more information to come. Many of the topics will be potentially difficult and slightly controversial because there are a lot of things about me and my life that are potentially difficult and slightly controversial. It just stands to reason.
On the flip-side, this blog is also a personal journal. You can feel free to subscribe and read along, as the vast majority of the entries will be open to the public because, as I've said, the point here is to be honest. However, the only people who will be granted access are those whom I personally know and feel I have reason to trust as friends. As honest as I might strive to be, there are still things in a person's life that do not immediately need to be shared with the world at large. The contents of a locked entry today might very well find its way into the contents of a public entry next week but, until then, it's just between me and my inner circle.
WRITER
I am Jsem and, if you don't know me by any other name, you can just call me J. I am a queer, agendered, biological female, born and raised out in the country with about a half-hour drive (in decent traffic) between me and the nearest D.C. area Metro station. Having completed a Bachelor's degree in English, I am currently staying with my parents while I try to find a less than soul-crushing way to make a living. I have two younger sisters (one biological and one adopted), a dog (a Pembroke Welsh Corgi and only one of the many canines in the household) and a future roommate (who also happens to be my best friend, co-author and significant other), as well as a very close-knit, if not fully-informed, extended family and a very supportive, if rather scattered, network of friends. My favorite animals are bats (with a second-place tie between wolves and spiders, which is a little troublesome when you date an arachnophobe), my favorite color is orange (second favorite is blue) and love just about anything if it's patterned in argyle. I'm also a fan of zombies, horror movies, varied musical tastes, books, soccer and collecting strange and seemingly useless facts.
Aside from that, most major questions one might ask about me will hopefully, eventually, be addressed somewhere in this journal but if you find yourself curious about anything in particular, feel free to send me a message and I'll try to get back to you, even if my response is just something along the lines of "Writing an entry on that very topic as we speak!"
