Before you ask, I am NOT a minor. But I'm still a teen. So that narrows it down to 2 years. :)
Hello, I'm Audrey! Technically, I am only 9 months old by one count, 4 by another, a year and a half by a third. Where do I start?
I came out on March 14th of the year of 2013. On November 19th of the same year, I initiated hormone replacement therapy. 5 months following, I faced the smiling face of a woman of the law as I had my name legally corrected. I am the sister of two loving young girls and the daughter of a proud mother and understanding stepfather. You can say that in that way I have been privileged in my transition; I did not face banishment from my family and its extensions, I did not face workplace discrimination, and working with my high school was a breeze. I was almost nominated for prom court near the end of my senior year even.
Besides minor-league trans-advocacy, I love love LOVE music. I play sax, bass, piano, and... well... I also DJ. Nothing really special though... I'm still learning that. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE JAZZ. Anything jazz. Dexter Gordon, Charlie Parker, all the greats... The pianists like Monk and Peterson... Contemporaries like Michael Brecker... Love it. LOVE IT. I aspire to one day be that good.
Anyways... besides jazz, I also listen to a weird assortment of randomness including death metal, classic rock, classical, Japanese synthetic-voice (vocaloid) music, experimental alternative, rap, house music (because I'm an amateur DJ)... You name it, I probably listen to it.
My mom is a famous tattoo artist. At a young age she taught me how to draw. I LOVE art. And specifically... I love drawing anime-manga style things and tattoo flash and somehow have created a weird mixture of the two. I also love to cosplay. And build stuff. I lump those two together because sometimes I build very intricate things for my costumes (such as a light-up belt that is self-suspending and plays music at a high quality all on the power of a 12v battery and a car stereo system). I have also built a Tesla coil. If you don't know who Nikola Tesla is, you should. He invented your electricity, not that lying credit-stealing Edison guy.
I guess I can finish this off with a fun fact. I have literally been told for the past 4 months that I look like I am something that came out of an anime; I always have choppy, straight, side-swept hair, topped off with a stripe of pink-purple-ish dye across my bangs.
So without further ado, I bid you adieu. Cheers!

Welcome to Susan's! I hope to see you around the forums, you seem like a real nice person!
But, definitely, you've come to the right place. Start taking a look around. The forums can be confusing to navigate at first, but once you get to know it, it's really convenient!

Also, love that line:
"Without further ado, I bid you adieu"
Why thank you!
Currently, I'm actually trying to post as much as possible in the most supportive ways possible in order to achieve the ability to upload an avatar picture!!!!!!
I wonder if replies count... MUST TRY NOT TO SPAM.
Anyways, thanks! Look forward to being a part of the Susan's community! I actually came across this site a long time ago but never registered for fear of being found out. Looking back, if I would have come to terms with myself and made an account when I was 14, I would have grown less hair than I have now.
Haha, you've got 9 to go!
I believe I saw you on the 5 word replies thread, correct?
And yes - replies count ;)
Indeed indeed you did did!
(See what I did there?)
You did it twice, with those parenthesis included ;)
I'm just awesome like that.
Okay, that one wasn't intended.
But that one definitely was.
And so was that one.
I'm done with myself now.

Only posers put up avatars, especially ones of anthro characters. Those are the worst.
Oh....wait. :P

Omg the color of that eye in your avatar is AWESOME!
SQUIRREL O^O
On the subject of metal, Megadeth, Pantera (EVERYTHING THAT ISN'T "WALK"), Slayer, Anthrax, Slipknot, older Metallica, FNM (if you can consider it metal)... I love it. I was blasting slayer in my car today and my coworker was like "I didn't read you as the screamo type." I promptly corrected him.
My eye is really a bright colored green.
I tend to dislike all forms of music except pop. This includes but is not limited to jazz, rap, metal, country...
But if anyone has any pop songs, send em over, cuz you won't have much look hooking me on anything else... I'm EXTREMELY picky lol
I have brown eyes. If I could choose, I would change them to gray.
Mine would be violet. That violet. Violet is my favorite color. Especially blue shades.

I adore Mr Bungle & Faith No More. I wouldn't say that only one member makes Bungle, though. That just doesn't compute. :D

This show is what introduced me to Mr Bungle. It's a great one.

Even though I love all the songs on all three of Mr Bungle CD's equally. I have to post my faves.
I havent the slightest idea what my favorite color is. One day it's blue, the next day hot pink, and the next lime green. And red. It's always changing, but if somebody asked my fav color I'd say blue, even if it's not blue at the time. But if it was a choice I'd put rainbow as my answer lol
Purple is better.
Even know I don't like football... Purple is the main color of my fav football team lol (Baltimore Ravens)
