My Life
I was born in New York, NY to Catholic lesbians. (Yeah, it starts weird, it ends weird... trust me, it's a wild ride) That's just the beginning of my wild family.

Daddy and Momma started dating when she was 16, and they broke up when she was 18 with just one little *whoops* between them. That would be me, hi. Momma met Mom Tonia in "Women in the Media" class (Momma's got a Women's Studies Masters and teaches two classes a semester at NYU) and they totally meant to only be friends (especially as Mom Tonia isn't a lesbian) but one afternoon of coffee and temptation cookies (um.. long story?) and they've been together ever since.

On the other side of the wild ride, we have Daddy. He found out Momma was pregnant and moved from Kansas City, MO to NYC to be nearby. Waiting for Momma one day sitting in the Life Cafe (which I miss desperately) he teased a woman who walked in dripping wet from rain about needing to carry an umbrella. He quickly became friends with her, and two month later, they started... dating. Three months after that, they got married and I gained another Mom. Mom Fallon. The next month they got married again (the first was just for them, the second was for everyone). Five months later, my sister Ashton was born.

My "brother" Collin was born the same month I was. (Wow, I totally forgot to tell you all that part. Mom Tonia and Momma were both pregnant!) He is really important later, okay? Just keep up.

Mom Tonia's sister Jordie is married to Trevor. They date Momma's ex-girlfriend Lessa. Lessa's married to Neil (Jordie and Mom Tonia's cousin). Daddy jokingly refers to our family tree as the "family stump" There's no branches, he says.

So I grew up in this amazingly crazy family. And I was overall really happy. Then 16 hit and things got bad. Momma always said 16 was a hard age, but I wasn’t quite ready for the way it all hit me at once. Hormones and sadness and laughter with my cousin Mari and loving my body and hating my body and wishing I was still 8... All wrapped up into one hateful little package, tied up with a ribbon of blood one week a month. And the only person who really seemed able to calm me when things got crazy (and thing got crazy in my head an awful lot) was my "brother" Collin.

I have this incredible need to be touched. It hit me hard just after I turned 16, and Collin seemed to understand it, and he would just... hold me and touch my skin softly. And I admit, I was stupid and fell completely in love. And of course, we had sex, repeatedly. But I thought I was smart, because I was on the pill. Never missed a single one, took them the same time every night... but my Momma had neglected to tell me that she got pregnant on the pill or I might have thought to use condoms as well.

I started feeling a little sick sometimes, tired a lot, all the normal symptoms of either severe PMS or pregnancy. So I went to Auntie Jordie's house and took a test and *shock and awe* it was positive. I told Collin, and he went completely silent. Silent in very bad ways. And his silence broke something in me.

I thought seriously about an abortion, about living with my Daddy and Mom Fallon and my AshtonBinkyBrat sister, about so many things, but in the end, I went to the bank, took everything but $5 from my savings account and ran. I've had a passport since I was 5, and we've kept it updated, so I bought a ticket to London, and I got the hell away. Away from the disappointment I knew my family would have, away from Collin's silence, away from everything I knew.

I'd been in London for four days when I met a man who drew me in in ways I didn't understand. I was broken and wounded and hurting and I just needed to be touched by someone. He laughed about being a madman, but I didn't care. I was mad as well, and he was startlingly gentle for himself, as I would learn later. But I wanted more, needed more of his touches and his rough hands, and he wanted nothing more than a release.

I went to bed the night I met Edward Hyde as just myself... and I woke up in the morning and stared into eyes as blue as my own, and hair as dark as mine was light. I didn't scream, she didn't scare me, I simply asked her name. She said she was Echo. I said, "You're an echo of me?" and she laughed-"No, I am an echo of him."

The desire to be with Edward disappeared with her. She simply gathered herself together and left me there. I wandered the streets for days, hoping to find her, or even Edward, hoping she might have found him. I needed an explanation, but my search was futile.

I hadn't eaten more than a few bites of anything in almost three days and in my wanderings I became dizzy and collapsed. When I came to, I looked into the face of a gentler version of the man I had met. He was different from Edward: gentle, soft, kind. I was confused (the lack of food hadn't helped that feeling) but his worried look made me want to hug him. He introduced himself as Dr. Henry Jekyll, and I made a fool out of myself by sobbing. He shyly wrapped his arms around me...

And I haven't left them since.
