Greetings!

[Chemtale]

Hello everyone!
I'm Chemtale, 28 years old, female, married, and absolutely brand new to this lifestyle/subculture.  I think the interest has been there all my life, I just hadn't really recognized it for what it has become until recently.  After talking a little with my hubby, I learned he also has some curiousity and intrigue with it all as well, and now there's no reason to look back!
Being all fresh and new and still quite clueless, the only thing I know and have known since I was a child is that I strongly identify with a fox.  There's my starting point.  I guess we'll see where it goes from there!  I am here to learn and observe, and you probably won't catch me talking much (if at all) beyond this introduction- I'm terribly shy, as well as having an anxiety disorder that makes it hard for me to be very social.  I hope you all won't mind my quiet presence as I lurk your board for information to help me on my journey of self discovery ^.^

Thank you all for the warm welcomes

Puncia: I've done just a small bit of reading, but being the internet and with the vast amount of hate and confusion towards anything "weird", taboo or different, it's hard to find anything that isn't biased or flatout false.  I figured the best way to learn and grow would be here among those who know what they're talking about ^.^  Thank you kindly for the link!
My hobbies are currently very limited - I feel somewhat like my life is a bit "on hold", as my husband is military and we're enduring our second deployment.  I don't enjoy much without him around, so I pass my time watching a bit of tv, playing World of Warcraft, lots of aimless internet browsing, and just relaxing and hanging out with friends.

Not really a lifestyle, but it's a nice hobby and interest. But hey, whatever floats your boat.

Vine: True enough, poor word choice on my part.  I've just had some mixed past experiences introducing myself on other boards for other interests and hobbies... where apparently it offended them referring to things as merely an interest.  I think from now on, I'll just have to say "I'm new to this" and leave it there, I'd sure look less silly than I have here ^.^ 
After a good browse-around, I quite like this place.  Very creative and friendly It might even stir back up my own creativity, it's been idle much too long.
