Oh Hai! I'm Vanje

I'm a middle-aged Flaming liberal from the womb, descended from a line of flaming liberals. Perhaps it is genetic.

I'm an out Lesbian in the reddest rural county of one of the 3 the reddest states in the Union (Idaho).
Among the people I interact with in my hood and at work, I'm probably the only gay person they think they know.

I work for University of Idaho, where I study diseases of sheep. I love my job.
I like bird-watching, sheepdog-trialling, raising chickens, gardening, all kinds of music,...and YES, I am single.

In real life I'm called, Susan


And, Oh! edited to say, If you are from or near Idaho, give me a shout.

It's very nice to meet you! IRL I'm Ann.

You remind me of my daughter, because she is a (liberal) lesbian too, and very much into nature as it sounds that you are. She is an activist for wild horses.

I used to live about an hour and a half north of the Idaho border and would visit Coure d'alene and Bonner's Ferry (yep, donated via the casino there, lol). My daughter and I went to Silverwood and had a great time.
