I love Gordie Howe! Lol, he was some of the inspiration for my username I guess.

He was the man!

This dude's always been my favourite:

This dude's always been my favourite:

He was a pretty good player for the Leafs I guess, don't know much about him.

This is my favorite player ever:



The great Terry Sawchuk!

Wendel was good, but he's worth big-time nostalgia to me and every Leafs fan between the ages of 28 and 40.

Man, that dude has war wounds. I see why you dig Gordie.

Oh, so you're a Leafs fan, eh? I know a couple. I myself am a Sabres and Senators fan.

Yeah, wasn't old enough to see either of them play but Gordie and Terry were absolute beasts!

Well, my new username comes from the fact that ultimately I'd like to stay on this side of the gender divide, but I recognize that this may be a useless task of great effort.  I'm very likely TS and probably going to wind up on at least low-dose HRT.  But I still try to roll the rock of transgender up the hill everyday.

One of the many puns I can make with Jess, which is a bit easier than trying to do so with Jessica. I've also used Jesstrogen, around the 2nd half of last year, when the estrogen started to really kick its initial drive in, from like 6 months HRT to 11 months. Now I feel rather pretty most days, and I came up with this one, to represent both I how see myself, and my name, in one!

[RobinGee]

I how see myself, and my name, in one!

You're ridiculously cute you know that?

[GorJess]

Aww, thanks, hehe. That's always good to hear that in the early morning. Or at least, I hope it's a good thing.

That is an awesome SN! That being said, my first connection was with Camus and it made me worry you were debating self-harm.

Thanks. Now I what I'd really like to know is where your wonderful avatars come from 

[K Style Addiction]

I'm a huge comic book fan and Donna Troy is the name of Wonder Girl. My favorite female super hero is Wonder Woman but "Diana Princess Of Thymescara" does not have quite a ring to it.

[Catherine Sarah]

Eeeerr. This might be a bit of a no brainer. How about, my name?  Takes all the guess work out of it. Keeps it simple, for a simple girl.
