a little bit about the cakeloid. (mod intro)

Hello and welcome to the Welcome Lounge! :cake: I am your resident Welcome Lounge Moderator, kelico. : ) This post is for you to learn a bit more about me, although the banner I made does a good job of summarizing haha! :P At the end, there are a few helpful links if you're new to the site!

 

I joined AVEN in June of 2014. I first learned about asexuality in...about October of the previous year, which I think was during Asexual Awareness Week! Someone had shared an article about a girl that identified as gray-asexual, and I looked into that. I was incredibly intrigued because so much of what I read hit home with me. I remember writing down in my journal something along the lines of, “Gray-asexual? Is that me?” Then months went by, and it was just in the back of my mind. I didn’t think about my possible identity again until a friend of mine came out as agender, and then I also found out that they were asexual! I was so surprised because again, I didn’t know about asexuality until a few months before. So we talked, and then I did more research...read a whole lot on AVEN, and then I eventually joined. : )) After more reading and talking, I figured out that I’m asexual (not gray), and just...well I learned soooooooo much here. (My romantic orientation was a huge revelation as well as my gender identity!)

 

I fell in love with this community right from the get-go. And it was the Welcome Lounge that did it. Everyone was so kind, so supportive...and I wanted to join in that sharing of support to other new members, so a good majority of my first posts were all here in WL. : ) Being in a new place can be really scary, and I sure know it! So it’s always a great feeling to find people that are helpful and understanding, there to take your hand if you need it. I’m very glad to be a part of the admod team and be here to help new members.

 

Ahem. *clears throat* There’s my little (probably too long) AVEN origin story, I guess you could say. :rolleyes:

As for other general things about me:

  • I’m a graphic designer.

  • I have 4 budgies. I adore birds. ♥ I go birding with my dad for fun and take photos as well.

  • I have a dog, and he is a crazy little old man. I love dogs so much. *huggles them*

  • Ok, so yeah, I’m definitely an animal person.

  • I’m a huge Vocaloid fan, especially of Hatsune Miku. <3 I basically always use avatars of her. My custom title is "cakeloid" because, come on, CAKE...combined with Vocaloid.

  • Despite my usually cheery and optimistic attitude, I do have my darkness. I suffer from depression, generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, OCD, and other health problems that I wish would go away (CHRONIC MIGRAINES! *shakes fist*). But I try not to let these things defeat me.

  • When I’m not working (which seems like most of the time lol), my favorite free-time activities would be playing video games, watching TV, hanging out here on AVEN, and reading.

  • I love my family. I don't know what I'd do without them.

  • Cake is my lifeblood.

Wow! Ok, so I wrote a lot. Thank you for reading!! :cake: If you have any questions, don’t be afraid to ask. If I can’t answer them, I’ll try to point you in the right direction. : ) Take care, take cake, and best wishes!

You seem cool that was a great intro! Miku is my fave. <3

Also all this cake is making me hungry. It kinda feels as though this is an asexuality forum/cake appreciation club. Either way I'm down.
