My name is jesse james. 

I live in Seattle with my favorite girl, Violet. We’ve been a thing for 3 years in August and spent the first 15 months of being a thing 6,514 miles apart. 

We have a fish named Fraidy that lives in the little pond in our yard. I have actually only seen him twice. He spends most of his time hiding from Marcus, our raccoon. Violet says I cannot claim Marcus as ours because he is a wild animal. However, he lives in our tree, eats our garbage, and we always say hello in passing. We rent our home, which means we rent our pond, which means Fraidy is not technically ours either. Details. What I really want is a dog. Violet and I have the raddest dog to ever walk the earth.

As a faggy, butchy, boi, lesbian, dyke, girl, androgynous, top, bottom, sister, partner, writer, daughter, friend, gardener, Cher-loving, liberal, sexy, goofy, stubborn, cocky, fragile, political, sensitive, angry, kind, self-loving person, I like this quote:

“If I didn’t define myself for myself, I would be crunched into other people’s fantasies for me and eaten alive.” (Audre Lorde) 

And so I do.
