Sigmafan!  Come to Portland and I'll buy you a Pepsi!

[Felix]

Lol, Sasquatchland. 

Hi Miharu, I live in NE out by Providence. Feel free to PM if you ever want to have coffee or something. I always like meeting people from Susan's. We have been discussing a Pacific NW meetup in Seattle and/or Portland but I'm not sure if there are any dates set yet.

Hi Miharu,
Greetings from another Portland area girl!
May the sun shine on your garden.

[Miharu Barbie]

Thanks Felix and Madeline.

Hey Felix, I live in the Sellwood area of SE PDX.  I'm the maniacal pool player; I've been known to stay up all night knocking balls around the pool table all by myself, like some lonely kid that no one will play with.  I love meeting new people, especially if pool is involved.

We do have a date for Seattle and that's July 21st.  It's now just trying to figure out what we all want to do.

yeah, I'd think about Pike Place Market and just enjoying the day and taking a big group picture near the water when it's time for us to depart.

I may not be a good pool player, but I enjoy playing the game as much as anybody.  I'll bring the pepsi, you bring the Pool table.

Funny you should say, Sigmafan; my pool table is pink, and my billiards room is decorated with super hero Barbie Dolls. 

Fair warning: I've been known to make the boys cry at the pool table.  Just sayin'.

[sigmafan]

Works for me.  I have heard of weirder tables before in weirder rooms.  Besides, I remember playing with ken dolls when I was younger.

Hi Miharu

First of all wellcome.
In the second place, I know what you mean.
Just like you I had transitioning many years ago.
Just like you I did go on with my life but, now in the right gender.

For me, the past was done and I try ed to shake it off, it was history and would not come back ever again.
But your past will always be a part of you and so I try ed to find some people with the same unique past, because even a wellunderstanding partner will never understand what you have been trough, the fears, the hopes, the expectations, the comments and whatever.

So, it's always nice to talk with people who have been there, who walked the miles in the same shoes.
Even that we live in different continents and even that I live in a very tolerant country, our culture is the same and I think we had the same struggles to become  what we always were.

In short words, I'm happy to meet you.
hugs
Annette

I escaped from Seattle four years ago

I would love to head up if possible for a meet and am keeping an eye on my schedule.

meanwhile I ran across this

Funny Michelle; I say the exact same thing about California.  I was born and raised in the West San Fernando Valley, at the northwestern edge of Los Angeles.  Portland is paradise.  I will never go back to California. 

You can have Sunny Cali; I'm staying where everything is green and the hills never burst into flames.

lol, they can have the southern end of the state!

I'm about 60 miles west of lake Tahoe in a nice quiet place in the country, our weather is "above the fog and below the snow" so far that pretty much describes it, also not as hot as the valley which is nice. Tahoe is our escape when it does get to warm.

Gotta admit I do like the Portland area though and have spent many happy weekends and vacations there.
Crystal Ballroom, The Roseland Theater, Voodoo donuts mmmmm

I had a neighbor who worked at Voodoo Doughnut and she'd bring home buckets of doughnuts, and lol I'm so glad we don't know anybody who works there anymore. I'm too pudgy and my kid doesn't need anymore fillings.  We did end up with a weird call-and-response song that we still sing when the topic comes up.
