I am simply loving the ButchFemmeDance site!    It is such a great place to go and interact with folks, kind of like a neighborhood, where we all know each other a little.  I have a few favorite threads I like to hang out in, and have been meeting the most fabulous people.  I know many people do not like the virtual world and some of it can be deceiving but I feel like it has become a space for me where I feel very comfortable and free to be myself. 

I post in alot of the threads and have even started a few of my own - everything from serving up breakfast to my own poetry.  I have started to meet some wonderful people that I interact with outside of the site - thru IMs, phone, etc.  Unfortunately none of them live in MI (well, one but I already knew her!) so I am not able to spend any physical real time with them, and that is one thing I wish was possible. 

While I have tried to keep only my happy side on there, I have shown them a bit when I am feeling down, and they have shown me alot of compassion and understanding.  We are like a little family that keeps growing, welcoming new folks and sharing of ourselves. 

It might sound terrible but I am not thrilled with the influx of BFers from the old site, as some of them are bringing their drama with them, and we really don't want any part of it.  The site admins can only monitor so much but they are trying to keep on top of things. 

The only "trouble" I've really had is when I didn't return feelings to someone who was crushing on me, and not only were they hurt by that, but chose to use the situation to bring up all past injustices others had done to them, of which I was not a part.  Overall, though, it has been a positive experience and I feel like I am making some great friendships!
