"I'm open with just about everything, with anyone who'll stop to listen, so long as they're within my comfort zone. This is particularly evident of late with my current obsession of self identity and definition. I'm actually thinking about taking steps to shut myself up, just so that I can say I hold something in reserve."
Where have you sprung from?!
Also, I just noticed you're Aussie too. Maybe that's it.
*edit
Should note that was me up to about a year ago. Now I'm like one of those tubes with liquidy gel in them that bulge out in weird places when you squeeze them - overly gut-spilling some places, Clam Central others. So have hope: you, too, can be lumpy and misshapen.
