Bio
 Hi and welcome to Offbeat Flamenco, my personal journal.What You'll Find Here: I'm a 21 year old gay boy living in Texas. I post about things that happen in my daily life; philosophical and existential ramblings and musings; photos of my costumes; problems that are happening in my life that I need to vent about; rants/thoughts about society, especially gender roles and cultural taboos; bitching and despairing of my many health problems; links and videos; fandom happenings; things that makes me squee; fabric and sewing; designs; verbose multi-subject posts; abuse of commas, parentheses, parenthetical asides with commas and dashes, and formatting in general, especially [strike] and [font size=1]; and many other things. I can get whiny, I won't deny it; but really, I'd like to think that the quality of my other posts outweighs the minor annoyance of scrolling past a few whiny ones. I like to get comments, even if it's just a short one or you think it sounds stupid. I want to hear from you! Also, sometimes I ask questions for advice and I encourage you to answer if you have anything to say, even criticism! I try to comment as much as I can as well, but I know I don't do it often enough.

 Lance stuff goes here when I have motivation to type it up, which is not now for I am a lazy bastard. Just know for now that he's an important figure in my life, k? |

 Dreams: - To be a Rock 'n' Roll Supah Stah, baby! - To own an indie boutique/cafe. - To date Lance Bass :p Journal Rating - R, sometimes higher, but always behind a cut. Beliefs: Pro-Choice; Agnostic; Liberal; Humanist; Gender Nonconformist; Open Minded; I wish I could say I'm against wearing animal skin, but I work with and own leather and fur items, so that would be kind of hypocritical :/ Influences On Life And Art: Yoshitaka Amano; CLAMP; the women of my family, especially my mother and aunt; Art Deco; Black and white classic movies from the 30s, 40s, and 50s; Art Neveau; Japanese Traditional, Counter-, and Pop Culture; Anime; Rock Music; Alternative Music; Lolita fashion; Dandy fashion; Kodona/Ouji fashion; 1920s; 1940s; 1960s; Cultures throughout Eurasia Quirks/Random Facts - I have no problem talking frankly and candidly about sexual topics, but when confronted with a sexual situation involving me, I tend to get blushy and flustered - I like to conserve letters I've typed. I try to delete as few as possible. - If I'm reading and I come across a particularly funny line, I might say it aloud in character. - If I read something that makes me happy for the characters or frustrated for them, I sometimes make Donald Duck-esque noises. - I shave with straight razor, then a safety razor - I dislike Tetsuya Nomura not because I dislike his style, but because at the time I felt he stole the job of Final Fantasy character designer from Yoshitaka Amano. Now I think his directing sucks too. - Almost every guy that I've had relations with is skinny and lanky and almost twinkish. It seems I attract that type, although I'd really prefer a little more meat on my man (see one Joey Fatone). - I wear three different fragrances: Axe Kilo (for daily wear), Calvin Klein Obsession (My first cologne; bought because it's what my father uses), and Versace Blue Jeans. - I have resigned myself to wearing cargo pants to carry all my medical stuff: inhaler, glucometer, etc. If it gets much worse I may have to carry a purse :/ - I need a creative workspace to create art (read: I make a mess; deal with it). - Every other guy I've ever met who shares my name is a total bastard. I don't think I've ever met a nice Yvonne, either. - I am not fucking emo; I am afflicted with depression caused by a chemical imbalance that runs through both sides of my family. Fibromyalgia, diabetes, and chronic fatigue syndrome also all cause depression in sufferers. Role Models/Idols: My friends Jessi and Gren; Yoshitaka Amano; Lance Bass; Katherine Hepburn; Lucille Ball. (I am very lucky in the fact that I have met all my still-living idols at least once!) "Perfection is possible. If you have done your best, you have reached perfection." ". . . the embittered artist whose hopes will never be realised, the impoverished Bohemian who can see no future in his art, yet no reason for existence in any other of life's paths." |

 Sexual-esque Info (highlight section to read as I'm sure some people don't care to know)There are a lot of things that turn me on real hard, but nothing gets me off harder than loud sex. Top or Bottom - Mostly bottom, but I like to top on occasion. I don't limit myself to one or the other. Versatility is where it's at, yo. Dominant or Submissive - I can be either, depending on my mood. I think being submissive turns me on more. Turn Ons - kissing - dirty talking - uncut guys - sideburns - stubble - backwards baseball caps - guys wearing nothing sneakers - twincest/brothercest Turn Offs - Disproportionate height/weight (pretty forgiving, has to be pretty severe) - Excessive body modification - Beards (gotees, sideburns, and those thin beards on the jawline are okay though) - Stupidity - Vanity (not to be confused with healthy amounts of pride) - Rudeness/poor etiquette in general - Cruelty - Hyperfemininity - Hypermasculinity - Denial of one's true self Physical Attributes of Ideal Man - Hair: Short; longer than buzzed, no longer than a Beatles mop - Eyes: No preference, as long as he has them only for me - Body Structure: Muscular, but not overly so; stocky/thick without being overweight; a little pudge to make him seem more real and accessible; broad shoulders; strong arms. - Skin: Fair skinned or lightly tanned, scars/blemishes/imperfections/etc don't bother me - Piercings/tatoos - Optional, but eyebrow rings and tongue rings are hot. Not so much digging the septum piercing. - Body Hair - Enough to know I'm with a man, not a boy or a woman, but not overly hairy. A light dusting is good. - Endowment: Average or a little below. - Eyebrows: Thick and natural |
