So I’ve been dying my locks and putting on eyeliner for as long as I can remember. However, it wasn’t always so. I was a normal guy who just liked guys. And before that I was just a normal straight guy. Somewhere I changed in AJ’s head. Or more rightly I showed myself to her.

I think I still manage to do that on occasion. Like being allergic to shellfish – that was new. AJ fell in love with Magnus Bane of the Immortal Instruments – specifically Harry Shum Jr.’s portrayal of him in Shadowhunters. It was then that AJ added the eyeliner and the colored tips to my hair. And it was perfect for me. I got to be normal and different at the same time.

I have steadily increased in my neurotic behavior. I went from being just a health nut to being a health nut to calm my impulses to obsess. I can’t obsess if it’s the same thing I do. My ways are two fold – they keep me in strong peak condition so I don’t fall behind in the Venatori, and they maintain my sanity. Both of which are highly important.

I love me, and I’ll keep showing AJ who I am the more we go through this. It’s a great journey if you ask me – you didn’t but I’ll still answer it.

BTW, today’s word was lock!
