Urmm.... Hi o-o

You've probably already seen me around. Or not. Better late than never :)

I'm Xirafel. I came up with it on the spot, as my other names are a little too easy to find on the internet. Maybe, I'll poke an admin to change it, if I come up with something better. Pokity poke.

I love anime, gaming (especially, if I can be a cute girl), books, etc. I'm cripplingly shy but better on the internet. I have other hobbies which come and go depending on my mood, I feel like writing.

I have a few aspirations, some of which are very typical (become rich, etc.), and one which is kind of weird. To be a girl. I blame my stupid defective brain, it needs to be recalled to manufacturing and rebuilt. Send my body with it while you're at it.

I have a strong aversion to male clothes (and my real name, but that's less important), my mind just screams, "No! I don't want to!" before dragging itself into them. I seem to love foods rich in estrogen, when I hear that it contains it, I just leap at it. Probably negligible traces x.x

I have giant mood swings between hope and despair. Apparently, I'm hopeful right now. I have no idea why, but that's a thing apparently. When I'm despairing, I'll just cry for who knows how long about how impossible it is to get what I want and go on about how the universe hates me in my head.

I'm like a vampire. I avoid mirrors as they betray my true hideous form (well actually, vampires don't have reflections) and lurk around during the night when no one can see what I'm doing. And I'm already kind of undead, I died back a long time ago and I'm nothing more than a corpse pretending to be human  :(

I'm probably boring you with my negativity, right? Let me think of something positive to say.

Ah yes, be warned that while I hate talking in reality (the voice and the shyness), that I sometimes can't stop talking online once you get me started, usually to people I'm very friendly with o-o

Hi, Xirafel!

The name is actually cute, sounds good, and is unique.  I don't know what more anyone could ask for.  (Well done!)

The background?  Let's just say that you're among lots of folks who will find your self-description VERY familiar.  I think we can all relate to that. 

And talking is good.  I'm pretty introverted in real life, but here? In a safe, friendly place?  My, but I post a lot.   (Part is being on light duty, after over a week of bed rest after a surgery.  That'll give me more time online.). I don't think anyone will complain about your joining in on the conversation.

So, welcome!  It's a great place that Susan and her helpers have built!

I can so relate to mirrors, hating my own name and mood swings! Welcome aboard, Xirafel! Hope that we will get a chance to talk on this forum :)

Hold on tight, girl and your aspirations will come true!
