You Can't Respect Yourself If You're Afraid

Some Of My Best Friends In La Are Devoutly Religious People. I'm Completely Supportive And Interested In People Doing Their Own Thing. That's A Motto That I Try To Live By, And I Hope That's How Other People Treat Me. Live And Let Live.

I Didn't Drop Out Of School, I Placed Out Of It. I Took Correspondence Courses And Ended Up Graduating Early. I Did Everything I Could To Get The Hell Out Of There.

I Went To A Catholic School But Did Not Really Fit In.

I Grew Up Just Outside Of Austin, And My Upbringing Was Fairly Rural.

For Someone Like Me, Who Prefers To Keep Their Life As Private As Possible, It Was Disconcerting To Have To Define So Much About Myself. I Don't Want To Be Labeled As One Thing Or Another.
