I chose the first one just cause I... I've always been a tomboy really, wearing boxers and not caring what I look like. Uh, smiling and having shag haircuts. Uh, the second one, the second one was just after I started hinting to my mom that I might be gay, and that was before we went to see Disney on Ice, so that was like the best moment of my life. The third one is at Pride and it's with Galadriel from a band that I write lyrics for, so it's kind of a big moment. This one's my best friend Roland, he's gay. I met him a year ago, and we're like best friends... we're like soul mates. The last one uh, is when I won the regional champion in the west district for cross-country, so that was big. And the one we took today well, just cause I look cool. Ha ha ha.

Galadriel and the girls from Candy Ass asked me to write lyrics for them, so that was a really defining moment. I got paid for it so I'm all good. I've been playing guitar, I just picked up on guitar, and I used to play in a band but I'm not going to tell you the instrument cause it's embarrassing. ...I played the flute. Yeah, I've heard them all, "This one time at band camp"... Um, I write lyrics for songs and stuff, and poetry a lot.

From the 6 to the 15 pictures uh, family issues [changed most]. Me and my mom got closer now that like my parents are divorced my dad's out of my life so... me and my mom have a closer relationship now. And then like knowing... now that she knows like I'm gay and what not, it's become even stronger. Like she's starting to totally accept who I am and understand me more. Family's gotten a lot closer - the people that I didn't really pay attention to are now like, major roles in my life.

My hair is the only thing that keeps changing in these pictures. Um, hair... clothes haven't really changed much um, neither has personality - just the hair. Ha ha ha. I've always been outgoing. I love going out after everything. I don't care if people tell me, "Oh, that's so outgoing", and "you shouldn't do that cause of society", blah blah, I'll be like, "K, whatever." I'll see these people like once in my life, what does it matter. And I mean if they only judge me on the outside then what's the point? They're not gonna know who I am really.

I think [I identify a lot with] the 6 year old one. I picked my own clothes and didn't really care what I looked like to others, I was comfortable. I mean, ha ha ha, who cares if I'm going around in Goosebumps glow in the dark boxers, and like Winnie the Pooh shirt and a shag hair cut at 6, right? I'm enjoying it.

I dunno. Going through high school was really... totally put a different perspective, like, I never thought people could be really cruel about uh, being homophobic and what not. Like, uh, yeah I don't know, I come to school sometimes with like graffiti all over my locker saying like so... horrible things. And it's like, "Well... why?" And it's people that don't even know me. Yeah, I was always made fun of being a tomboy. And like, when I was really really little in like grade three the guys would totally kick the crap out of me sometimes. I'd come home crying. And like grade four and five, it was so bad. The guys... just cause a girl looks different, you know? And like grade seven to eight got picked on by the girls because I looked like a guy and whatever. Grade nine, going into grade nine, till now, most people don't care, but you get the odd people that are like "Oh, you dyke!" and blah blah blah and... all this crap that nobody really needs. Like, stop pointing out the obvious!

Probably the one we just took [represents me the most], just cause it's me doing something that I really like and uh... I don't know. It's a few months later after I came out and everything's going well for me I mean getting publicity through magazines for skateboarding and like, getting paid for something I love to do which is writing lyrics and stuff. So, I'd have to say the last picture just cause it's really a good time right now. I'm absolutely happy with the way I've changed. I'm liking who I've become.
