Cancer is really hard to go through and it's really hard to watch someone you love go through, and I know because I have been on both sides of the equation.

I do tend to be an analyzer. I'm an old English major from way back, so I do have fun tearing apart texts and trying to find the hidden secrets and the subtexts in there.

I'm fairly out of the loop when it comes to pop culture.

I never felt like there was an unconscious part of me around that woke up or that came out of the closet; there wasn't a struggle, there wasn't an attempt to suppress.
