As for Myself:

Age: 20's

Race: Asian/South European

Gender: Female-ish, scientifically speaking. (Between genders)

Height: 157 cm/5foot1-or so I've been told. However, I know someone who's 5-2, and is shorter than me, and I'm almost the same height as someone else I know who's 5-6, I'm just barely shorter.

Weight: Varies.Currently 180, size men's L/36, can bench press 110.

Sexuality:PROUD BI!! RAINBOW POWER!! (I didn't mean Sailor Moon, you goof!)

Current Occupation: Jr. College student, Laney College, Oakland, CA, where I am known to raise hell, add 56+8 to be 47, start impromptu llama song singalongs, or trip over air, depending on who you ask. Everyone there, though, knows I be up in La-La-Land so much, they got a teacup with my name on it...

Fluent Languages: Fluent Kobe, halting Tokyo Japanese, Various dialects of Spanish and Queen's English in writing, but Southern US dialect in speech. I'm just your average flying purple space bunny.

Phobias: Bees, wasps, anything with wheels (I was riding a trike on Rainbow Bridge. It kamikazed into the bay. I was riding it. Dad grabbed my wrist and it now tells the weather.) Heights (see parentheses), and people who are obsessed with a country that has nothing to do with them-Dad(full blood Jap) was this way about England, and Japanophiles want to eat me...

As for My Works:

I have one "T" rated story, and LAL, DWS, and UMF all have sex scenes in them, but only UMF is sex-centred. Mostly, I tend to address rather weighty topics, such as drugs, child abuse, prostitution, exploitation, runaways, homelessness, illness, and so on. I've lived so far, a tumultuous life in my twenty-something years, and my stories reflect that, my characters struggling to overcome just as have I. I write stories the way Phil Collins and Everlast write songs. E.g., "Another Day In Paradise" or "Ends." I don't know why; it's just my style, and hopefully you enjoy it, but please be advised that the "M" rating is there for good reason.

I will try to update once a week, as I am a full-time student, leaving me little time to do else, and I may write other stories on the side, as well as the fact that I also write song lyrics in hopes that someday I will have a band with whom to sing them (sighs wistfully). However, I hope that what I post on this site will be as enjoyable for at least some as yours are for me. Thank you. Sincerely, agoodcupoftea.

Error In Past Works:

When I was in Japan, the legal age was 20 there. In 11th grade, over here, I had heard that it was dropped to 16. I have a friend from my home region. He's 19. Still being there, some things he said made me doubt the '16' thing. Researching National substance control sites, acually, was how I recently found out it is still 20...that won't work for some ideas for LAL, so if I keep them all there, it'll just be 18. Hence, fiction, haha.

Update:

Dual World Senshi will someday be continued in its own time of 2001. If you want, though, Love After Life, which starts in Fall 2008, reunites with DWS in 2008, where the Mankin crew are in their 20s, starting in chapter 26.

I am not asking you to believe this if you don't. I'm putting this on here as who I am, and because it is integrated into my stories. If you feel angered by this, I reject your anger. Don't talk to me. If you just don't feel the same, NO PROBLEM!! That's why I'm me and you're you! Life would suck if we were all the same. Being different is called having a freaking BRAIN!!

My view is Holy tomes are all true events, however humans have twisted the deities’ words to fit their own moral code, as well as multiple translations causing loss of meanings, a good example being Christianity dividing into warring sectsover the translation of the word "rock" confused with the name of Christ's disciple Peter. Satan does exist, but is a fallen angel. He can possess, blind, confuse and lead astray, but he cannot create or ultimately destroy. He/she/it is a spirit. End of story.

Scientology, however, makes me laugh. Modern times are too distracted, confused, and polluted to bear a new religion. Its creator has a psychiatric background, and could’ve been another Freud or something, but he became a megalomaniac, and it all went down the sewage line.

Sodom and Gomorrah were probably fuck-buddies. Christ himself said the greatest thing he left behind was love, and to pursue true love above all. GOD MADE LESBIANS GAYS AND BISEXUALS!! GOD MADE ALL THE DIFFERENT RACES!! It is said God loved humankind (Or the idea) so much, that’s why he made humans in His image. Buddha…the Dharma is all about love, harmony, understanding and peace. Shinto recognises Kami-sama, Honourable God. The Christian Old Testament is the Jewish Holy tome.

TRUE RELIGION IS LOVE!! DEITIES DO NOT PREACH RELIGIOUS WAR AND DEATH!! THOSE WHO DO ARE NOT RELIGION, THEY ARE HATRED!!

You can re-post any part of that if you want. I'd like to know who you are if you do share this belief, cause I'd like to know I'm not the only one, y'know?

I AM A PROUD BISEXUAL!! I also go to church!

I am the girl kicked out of her home because I confided in my mother that I am a lesbian.
I am the prostitute working the streets because nobody will hire a transsexual woman.
I am the sister who holds her gay brother tight through the painful, tear-filled nights.
We are the parents who buried our daughter long before her time.
I am the man who died alone in the hospital because they would not let my partner of twenty-seven years into the room.
I am the foster child who wakes up with nightmares of being taken away from the two fathers who are the only loving family I have ever had. I wish they could adopt me.
I am one of the lucky ones, I guess. I survived the attack that left me in a coma for three weeks, and in another year I will probably be able to walk again.
I am not one of the lucky ones. I killed myself just weeks before graduating high school. It was simply too much to bear.
We are the couple who had the realtor hang up on us when she found out we wanted to rent a one-bedroom for two men.
I am the person who never knows which bathroom I should use if I want to avoid getting the management called on me.
I am the mother who is not allowed to even visit the children I bore, nursed, and raised. The court says I am an unfit mother because I now live with another woman.
I am the domestic-violence survivor who found the support system grow suddenly cold and distant when they found out my abusive partner is also a woman.
I am the domestic-violence survivor who has no support system to turn to because I am male.
I am the father who has never hugged his son because I grew up afraid to show affection to other men.
I am the home-economics teacher who always wanted to teach gym until someone told me that only lesbians do that.
I am the man who died when the paramedics stopped treating me as soon as they realized I was transsexual.
I am the person who feels guilty because I think I could be a much better person if I did not have to always deal with society hating me.
I am the man who stopped attending church, not because I don't believe, but because they closed their doors to my kind.
I am the person who has to hide what this world needs most, love.
I am the person who is afraid of telling his loving Christian parents he loves another male.

Re-post this if you believe homophobia is wrong. Please do your part to end it

I hope you agree on this one. I was an abused child, and I still have trick joints/screwed up bones/ Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder.

I AM AGAINST CHILD ABUSE.

Are you?

My name is Chris

I am three,

My eyes are swollen

I cannot see,

I must be stupid

I must be bad,

What else could have made

My daddy so mad?

I wish I were better

I wish I weren't ugly,

Then maybe my mommy

Would still want to hug me.

I can’t do a wrong

I can’t speak at all

Or else I’m locked up

All day long.

When I’m awake I’m all alone

The house is dark

My folks aren't home.

When my mommy does come home

I'll try and be nice,

So maybe I’ll just get

One whipping tonight.

I just heard a car

My daddy is back

From Charlie’s bar.

I hear him curse

My name is called

I press myself

Against the wall.

I try to hide

From his evil eyes

I’m so afraid now

I'm starting to cry.

He finds me weeping

Calls me ugly words,

He says it’s my fault

He suffers at work.

He slaps and hits me

And yells at me more,

I finally get free

And run to the door.

He’s already locked it

And I start to bawl,

He takes me and throws me

Against the hard wall

I fall to the floor

With my bones nearly broken,

And my daddy continues

With more bad words spoken,

"I’m sorry!” I scream

But it’s now much too late.

His face has been twisted

Into an unimaginable shape.

The hurt and the pain

Again and again

Oh please God, have mercy!

Oh please let it end!

And he finally stops

And heads for the door

While I lay there motionless

Sprawled on the floor.

My name is Chris

I am three,

Tonight my daddy

Murdered me.

If you are against child abuse, put this in your profile...I did.
