*fiddles with fingers before giving a shy wave* Hello there

[~Kaiden]

Oh yes, it has become a bit crazy. Even more so, considering it is now 8:28 AM where I am I should not be this hyper after being awake for so long. But, somehow, even if it was coming out with all of this to people I don't personally know, I am just feeling rather excited! That, plus energy drinks xP And oh! If you like Secy and I know it, by LMFO, I recommend you search up 'Noah Cover of "Sexy and I Know It" by LMFAO' And even if you don't like that song... That cover is just great!

Hahaha, well, just to warn you, it may continue for a few days.  I stayed up past dawn the first night I started posting.... and the night after that, and the night after that... and probably will tonight too.  XD

Btw, this cover is amazing and I love you for suggesting it to me. O_O *GLOMP*

[Dalex]

Thank you very much Gina So far, everyone has been absolutely wonderful, and I don't regret coming here at all. If anything, I feel over the moon happy with coming out with this and hopefully I can gather the courage to come out to those close to me.

*gets glomped* I am very glad you like it! It has been on repeat on my end here for a bit now x3

Kai's right. I haven't had a full night of sleep since I wrote my first post. Just a week ago if I'd missed a full night of sleep I was exhausted and nearly useless the next day. I haven't felt tired for a second, just so full of energy I could power a small city. The only reason I'm not up all night posting is that I make myself go to bed after a certain point. Of course, I lie awake for a long time... 

By the by, I was lucky enough to spend a whole week in your country a few years back. It's just lovely. A little cold and windy, but beautiful.

Indeed, here I am at 7 in the morning still don't want to sleep! 

So, you too Maggie?  It seems there's a trend going on!  I can't wait for more new people to roll in, at this rate, we'll be able to solve the energy crisis! XD (oh wow, I am such a dork)

But really, this place is amazing.  Usually when I join a forum, whether it's a support group or its for something else, (I have joined several different kind of online support groups trying to figure out what was wrong with me, anxiety/depression, agoraphobia, OCD, you name it)  I will make a few posts and abandon it.  I donno why, I guess I just didn't feel like I was connecting with anyone.  And I had a lot of anxiety about talking to people as well.  (even at the social anxiety support group, FTW! )  But not here.  I was anxious until I made that first post.  Now I'm not anxious at all.  For the first time in a long time I feel like I can just be myself meeting new people and it seems I have already made some new friends in my first few days of being here.  That's... ASTOUNDING to me!!  I had been such a shut in for so long I thought I had forgotten how to make friends.  But you guys are amazing.  Really.  Everyone here is amazing.  Ahhhhhggggg....! I'm gonna cry!!! >.<

Yup! I think I had better go to bed before my girl side comes out too much!!!!!!

It is a beautiful country, and I suppose I am also rather lucky that a great number of people here are accepting up to a certain level

Oh, I really should have gone to bed much sooner xD Then, I ended up not going out do what I had already planned for the day and crashed for a bit... Hit a bit of one of my anxiety walls, and ended up having one of my PTSD moments for a couple of hours and then I just could not manage to get myself to get out of bed.

But! I slapped myself in the face and ordered myself to get out of bed! When there are such wonderful people here that so easily accept me, I should not be going and having one of my anxiety fits! But I suppose that is easier said then done x3 But I'm trying

[Robin Mack]

Looks like I'm late to the party, but welcome anyway.

Thank you very much, it is very much appreciated. I don't think I have ever received such open armed welcomes before, it is really a wonderful feeling

[Robin Mack]

That's why I'm staying.    Seriously, as on top of things as the moderators are, and with most of the posters accepting people the way we always wish we were accepted out in "meat space", I really haven't found a better place to just be me.  If I could, I'd be buying real estate here and moving in.

[Claire (formerly Magdalena)]

If you do, Robin, can I use the guest room? I'll bring pie. 

[Robin Mack]

Yay, pie!  I *love* pie!  Do you have pecan?  Or key lime?

[Claire (formerly Magdalena)]

Pumpkin! But if you ask nicely...

[Dalex]

Did anyone say pie? Gimmeh! It's one of the golden rules after all! Must share pie! *sagenods*

YAY, DORKS!!

HUZZAH!!!

But I prefer water to the energy drinks.

Yes! It is the area of the dorks!

I usually don't drink much energy drinks myself xD I have my random burts of hyper randomness, with out it already

[~Kaiden]

I propose a pie party at Robin's place. (that was almost a tongue twister!)  I'LL BRING THE CHOCOLATE CREAM!!! Whoooo!   (oh man, I just found the rest of the smileys.  They're gonna be all over my posts now, you just watch XD)

Thays the spirit, Dalex!  I'm proud of you!    Don't let that pesky anxiety get you down!   There's too much love on this forum for that!    *bats it away with a broom*  Shoo!  Shoo!  Shoo! 

Here, have an afro! 

Looks like I'm late to the party, but welcome anyway.

Whoooooooo!!!  Partyyyyyyy!!!!!  *falls down and knocks over a table*  Ooooo... o.O Ow...  Heh heh, er, I hope we're not getting too rowdy over here. 

YAY, DORKS!!

HUZZAH!!!

But I prefer water to the energy drinks.

YUS!  ANOTHER DORK!  WEEEEE!    I dub this land... DORKTOPIA!!!

I prefer coffee myself.    Maybe a little too much...   Heh heh.

Funny enough, I actually ended up cutting my hair shortly after that xD And I feel amazing about it. Today, I am going to see about actually going out dressed and looking like I feel on the inside. Here is my new hair!



And another silly one for the road.



I'm not a professional hairstylist, or anything like that and I know I am still far from passing as more of a male. But, lets see how it goes! 

[Cindy]

Whoops I'm very late for several new members!

Welcome and great to see you all. By the looks of things everyone is settling in great.

But I'm worried by mention of those strange pies!

What is wrong with pie floaters?

[~Kaiden]

Dalex, that's awesome!  You look great! I think you could pass as a guy!  Good luck and let us know how it goes!!!  Knock 'em dead, son!!! 

Oh man, you have inspired me.  I have never actually taken a picture of myself in male dress.  I think I'm gonna give it a try. O.O


Cindy, I have never heard of a pie floater, whats in it?  O.O

Hold on to a sick bag!

Mushy pea soup, a meat pie and tomato ketchup. Best eaten when drunk.

Heee Hee

[Dalex]

I have no idea what a pie floater is Cindy, but from what you said was in it... I think I will have to pass xD

And thanks Kai it really means a lot to hear that, lets see how it goes! Just about to jump out the door! In a different hoody though x3 Wearing my West Coast Choppers one! Nothing really fancy done to bind since I don't have a binder, but I might take a picture of the outfit I chose for the day later! And Kai, if you do take pictures, then I'd love to see if you are willing to share, of course

But yes! Off to catch the bus I go!
