I did a little game of 10 truths about myself with another listener, and found that it was a fun way to learn about who I was! I think it would be fun to get even more people involved so that we can actually get to know one another in the 7cups community! My 10 truths: 1. I am gender-queer (feel free to ask) 2. I am a 18+ year dancer :-) 3. I believe in everyone no matter what 4. I dont have my life together, but im working on it 5. I see myself trying to go to college soon! 6. I love music as a whole 7. I have 2 brothers and a sister I have never met 8. I love to help others 9. I believe in the good in everyone 10. I know I am not perfect, but im ok with that! You dont have to share 10, but I hope you can share at least one thing about yourself!

1. I am a centaur, but my hind legs are invisible

2. Born, in the Year of the Dragon under the element of fire

3. This passage from From Lord Byron's The Corsair sums me up:

He knew himself a villain?but he deem'd
The rest no better than the thing he seem'd;
And scorn'd the best as hypocrites who hid
Those deeds the bolder spirit plainly did.
He knew himself detested, but he knew
The hearts that loath'd him, crouch'd and dreaded too.
Lone, wild, and strange, he stood alike exempt
From all affection and from all contempt:

4. Humor writer, published and self-published books.

5. Legal marriage officiant with the title "Reverend." I've married 5 couples, including my brother and his wife.

6. Gothic horror literature geek, especially 18th and 19th century Brit Lit and penny dreadfuls

7. I survived being lost and alone in the wilderness, in Teddy Roosevelt National Park

8. Was nearly hit by a motorcycle in Honduras, had emergency surgery in Nicaragua

9. Climbed Mt. Adams and Mt. Shasta, despite having asthma and possibly COPD

​10. I have an indomitable will. I can endure almost anything.

This is going to sound really strange, but you remind me quite a bit of Andy Botwin from the show "Weeds."

Which is a good thing, he's like my favorite character.

Ha! I've never heard of it. I'll have to check it out. I live in a cave, being a centaur and all. Thanks for the shout. I'm sorry you've had to deal with so much trauma lately! I lost my mother when I was young as well. It's not easy.

6. I lack of physical affection from people around me.

7. I like cats, a lot, but I couldn't have one because all of my family members have asthma except me.

So yeah. I know it might not be entertaining, but those are facts about me. Thank you :)

I suppose I shall give this a shot in an endeavor to be more open as I am new here and need to get used to the area.

1. I am incredibly formal when I write and avoid using swear words, save for when necessary; in real life, though, I swear quite often.

2. I love writing.Love as in 'Oh-dear-golly-gee-willikers,-this-is-nearing-addiction-levels-and-I-should-stop-but-I-do-not-want-to-because-this-is-so-much-fun-and-relaxing-and-I-hate-math-so-screw-you-derivatives' love. It is to the extent that I wish to be an author by profession. Prose and fiction are my favorites to write and I tolerate and attempt poetry. I am terrible at writing, though.

3. I am spiritual but not religious, agnostic at best. In fact, I could say that I hate religion. I do not actively antagonize religion and the religious, I do get annoyed and start yelling should people try to push their religious choices onto me.

4. I live on the world's tallest mountain. I feel that this should be explained: Mt. Everest is not the world's tallest mountain; Mt. Tapochau is. Mt. Everest is the highest above sea level. Mt. Tapochau is like an iceberg- most of it is beneath the water. The island it is attached to, Saipan, is near the Mariana's Trench and is actually part of it which means that Mt. Tapochau is taller than Mt. Everest.

5. I have severe confidence issues and the inability to see things as problems. I can tell you a hundred and one reasons not to like me but I cannot give you one as to why I should continue existing, and I had to be told by others that I might have depression and anxiety issues because I perceived them as myself simply making 'mountains out of mole hills' and was constantly trying to convince myself to get over it. These both relate to my distaste toward religion.

6. I adore cats and dogs but can never have one due to being allergic to them.

7. I am currently going through gender identity issues but have no idea who to talk to about them because almost everyone I know is extremely religious or I am afraid of them. They are currently bottling up between myself and Carter. Carter does not count as telling someone and talking about it because Carter is the name of my notebook.

8. I have eczema and scratch a lot. It has come to the point wherein I am beginning to suspect that my scratch is a form of self-harm rather than a result of the disease now. I have a feeling that I would be cutting if I did not have it because every time things start going bad and I need relief, I begin scratching until I bleed. Just a theory.

9. I seem to have an inclinationtowards what I believe is called animism. If it is important to me, I give it a name and personality which I believe comes from the object itself. An example is Carter. Carter isvery sweet and quiet, reserved but snarky who enjoys listening to others and also a notebook.

10. I am afraid that DYS will take me away from my family due to the entries I write in a class journal. As a result, I am afraid to turn it in regardless of whether or not I censor it. I believe that I will fail both classes as a result but am too scared and concerned about my family. I have already been scolded about this by another student which only aggravated my fears.

My, I do ramble a lot.

Ah, um, thank you very much. I am not nearly as awesome as I sound (I am actually quite lame) but I do thank you for the compliment.

Yeah, not many people know about the little Mt. Everest thing. Partially because not many people know of Saipan.

This peaked my interest and I have never challenged myself like this, so decided it was worth a shot! 1. I am pretty creative. To help distract me from bad thoughts I discovered I can draw and paint , and I even started writing a book. 2. I can understand people pretty well and often know what they are feeling but not showing or letting on. I always have hope for every person I talk to in person that they can become a better person. Through experience or gaining in confidence or seeing another viewpoint from their own. 3. I love playing and learning how to play new instruments. I would love to play in a big orchestra for a TV programme or film. 4. All I want to do in life is be able to help people. Even if I only manage to help one person that's one person who is better off because of my help. I always put others needs before my own and now is my time to look after myself so I can look after others some day. 5. I have always hated myself and thought I had to be punished for everything I did "wrong", by isolating myself, or hurting myself. 6. I never express my anger. If I shout I laugh because I sound ridiculous. I get incredibly angry though and fear hurting people or loosing control. 7. I guess the above naturally leads me to this. I've discovered this year I really struggle with emotion. It's often over the top or simply not there. I don't understand when people say they love and care for me. I won't let myself have a relationship because I don't want to hurt my partner or put them through my mad emotions and constant worrying. 8. I have been diagnosed with severe anxiety, severe depression and borderline traits. I've been in a mental hospital once and am terrified to go back so will go to any lengths to avoid going back. 9. I've been away from uni for over a year and hated every moment of it. Not being able to leave the house because I'm too scared and some days been so depressed I couldn't leave bed. I like doing things that challenge me and I've hated being a burden. 10. I love my dog Trev more than anything. He has helped cheer me up this year when nothing else could. I trule believe I wouldn't be here now if I hadn't got him this year. Despite that I'm not overly fond of animals! Thank you for creating this thread it really was a challenge and I'm not sure I would have been able to do it until this week. Things seem to be improving and I hope it continues. I'm scared for the new year!

Hola. Soy nueva en esto. 1.No recuerdo muchas cosas de mi infancia. Es algo psicologico. 2. Cuando era muy chica mi papa golpeaba a mi mama y decia que yo no era hija suya. Una vez pidio un adn. Resulta que ahora se hace el gran padre y cree que yo no me acuerdo todo eso. 3. Soy muy timida. Me guardo todo porque no tengo a quien contarle. Mis amigos dicen que soy exagerada. 4. Me mandan obligada a un colegio de mujeres. Realmente sufro mucho alli. Es el lugar que mas odio en el mundo. Encima estoy todo el dia alli. En un momento estaba confundida acerca de mi inclinacion sexual. Creo que soy bisexual. 5. Siempre visto de negro. Y vivo en una ciudad chica. Por lo que la gente me mira raro y critica. 6. Todo el mundo piensa que soy una persona fuerte y segura de si misma pero no es asi. Estoy muy desconforme con mi cuerpo. Actualmente peso 46 k. Y quiero llegar a pesar por lo menos 43. 7. Siempre me gustan chicos bastante mayores que yo. Una psicologa dijo que era por la mala relacion y la falta de un padre. 8. Odio mis cumpleaños con mi alma. Siempre la paso mal 9. Mi persona favorita en el mundo es mi tio. El quedo preso y me falto por 3 años. Volvio pero ya no es el mismo. Ya no le importo. Otra persona a la que no le importo. 10. El 16 de diciembre me dejo mi novio por ser ana. Lo entiendo.seguimos hablando todos los dias y somos amigos. Pero es muy duro para mi.
