Topic: Benjy from Bloomington
Posts

Hiya, my name is Benjy. I'm an American who hails from the town of Bloomington within the state of Indiana. I've never moved but I have traveled my whole life. I am sixteen and turning seventeen in a couple months, but I'm trying to stay a nine year old at heart, because who wants to grow up?
I don't really identify with any particular gender or sexuality label. I ended up in some bad situations when I was younger which kind of messed up my personal identity and how I saw myself and I've only just recently felt recovered. You could vaguely call me gender fluid and pansexual, but I'm really just Benjy, I like people and it doesn't have to be more complicated than that.
I love all forms of creativity. Music has been a particular passion of mine and I've been performing for four or five years now. My love of music goes beyond any particular genre, but I'd say jazz, classical, metal and folk are what I'm most passionate about. I love too many movies to list, but Little Big Man stands out in my mind as pretty great. I've made it a habit to follow a TV series on Netflix ever once and a while, but Doctor Who will always be my favorite, Skins was also pretty life changing.
I read a lot of everything, from Dante Alighieri to Mark Z Danielewski to Margaret Mead, but Arthur Rimbaud will always have a special place in my heart. Rimbaud's A Season In Hell was the piece of writing that changed how I saw my life forever.
Now I bike everywhere I need to go, play in bands, go to local concerts, go on rides in the countryside, travel, cry a bit and sleep. I'm really quite happy to have found this lovely site through a simple Google search and I'm very sorry for talking about myself so much. I hope I don't sound too dreadful.
Anyway, thanks for listening (or reading I guess). I love you.
I love you.

Thanks Lexi, nice to meet you too.
I agree, Skins is very... yeah. I'm talking about the UK version of course.
But thanks so much for the welcome. Have a wonderful day.
Thanks for liking my intro Angel, I was afraid it kinda came off as a boring rant, but maybe it was ok after all.
You're from southern Indiana too? I can't say I know much about my neighboring towns, most of my impression of this state comes from biking through it.
Thanks for the love, have a great day.
I love you.

Wassup Benjy!
*highfive*
"Who wants to grow up?"
Uh...No one? T_T But there are some perks. Independence, freedom, experience.
Ah man, I dig this lack of importance on sexual identity. I am bestly summed with Pansexuality as well, but admittedly, there is some over-spill in the mix.
Dat just means I'm a boss.
I'm relatively new myself bro, and my introduction was pretty winded as well, but it's cool, because we
dig that honesty here, and it's one of the best qualities a person can have son! 
I'm Skye, your frienly neighborhood spiderman! Hope you enjoy QA!

The UK version of Skins is a million times better if you ask me, but you'll form your own opinion when you see it.
There's a Spiderman here on QA? Nice to meet you Skye. Your welcome is very heartwarming, but I will say that you can have independence, freedom and experience without ever truly having to grow up.
Just remember that I love you.
I love you.

Hey, Benjy, I'm Lauren from Pennsylvania, and it's nice to meet you Lol, I don't think anyone wants to grow up xD
Aww, I'm really sorry to hear that a lot of bad stuff happened to you in the past, but I'm glad to hear that you've finally recovered from all of it.
I also like way too many different movies to list, and I also try to follow at least one series at a time, so I'll have something to look forward to seeing.
I also read a lot of different kinds of books.
I'm also very happy to have found this site through a Google search. There's no need to apologize for talking about yourself so much since it helped all of us learn a lot about you right from the very beginning. You don't sound dreadful at all; in fact, you sound really cool and interesting to me I'd love to find out even more about you, so feel free to PM me whenever, especially if you want someone to talk to, and I'll be sure to get back to you as soon as possible
There's no need to thank me for reading since I love reading the introductions of new members However, I appreciate the nice little, "I love you,"...That's very sweet
Anyway, welcome to QA! I hope you enjoy it on here as much as the rest of us do
My idea of a dream world is one where no one is judged because of who they are. I hope that someday I can see that world come about <3
