   My gosh What is wrong with your roommate. No one was staring except to see at least one good looking girl (you) but more than likely two. I'll bet she is used to getting those looks and liking them. It's only that she knows you are trans that set off her own transphobia and insecurities.

Hugs,
   Laurie

Thank you Laurie you it makes sense, She is fine with me in private but never been in public with me.

I'm thinking about quitting my band. We played a show tonight and the drummer was so off, in our first song he doubled the tempo during the 2nd verse and it totally threw me off so I couldn't sing, and the rest of the set he kept speeding up and slowing down too. I wasn't having any fun and I felt like I was going through the motions. I've been trying to think of someone who can replace him, I asked a friend of mine last week who is an amazing drummer but he doesn't have the time. Our bassist isn't really any good either, he's super sloppy. I'm writing songs that I really like and these guys aren't doing them any justice. And not many of my friends came out tonight either. I just feel like no one cares so why bother?

I tried being in a band. They leeched all the fun out of it. Now I just play/sing at home for myself and go to a local jam. If they mess up more than I can handle at the jam, I can just leave :)

Anything like this has to be fun first.
I left the door open, only a few came through. such is my life.

I'm finding it to be increasingly difficult to be around women. Me and my friends went for our annual Christmas Eve curry, but one of my friends bought their partner, she's great, honestly, me and her got on really well, but I had my typical 'gay guy, I can be your best friend' demeanour on, when really, I wanted to be her so badly, she said she was self conscious about her body, but I would've done anything to have a body even remotely similar to her's. I nearly came out as trans so many times, I'm literally like a ticking time bomb at the moment

I am tired, just completely soul crushingly exhausted, and in incredible amounts of pain. I have spent every waking moment on my feet preparing for tomorrow, and there has been mishap after mishap. The chocolate I was melting to do some truffles just refused to melt and then decided to go from solid to burn instantly. As a result, they are horrible little clumpy things that just don't look appetizing at all. I've also only done 2 out of the 5 things I need to prep before tomorrow and it is past 6pm. I am not even going to be cooking until midnight, I'm going to be PREPPING until midnight just to get up and cook more tomorrow morning. My back has been killing me (for days now, I might not be drinking enough on the spiro), my feet are in agony, and to top it off I severely burned myself doing the stupidest things possible. First, I was making pasta for mac and cheese. I had a big spoon for stirring, and a little spoon for something else. My brain just thought "spoon", I picked up a spoon and went to stir the noodles. Oh, except I picked up the little spoon, so I wound up STICKING MY HAND IN THE BOILING WATER (since I was mentally judging it by the spoon hitting the bottom I guess). Fortunately, I managed to survive that okay, I reacted quickly and the burn was minor. Then later, I was going to make some crumb topping. I noticed my little pan had some debris in it, so i went to pick it out. Unfortunately, I forgot I had already turned on the stove. So I stick my fingers in the pan (SAME FINGERS FROM THE WATER) to pick up the piece of whatever, and my brain just ceased to function and I sort of left them there for a few seconds in my ever debilitating state of mind. So yeah. I cooked my finger tip. Like 100% literally cooked my freaking finger tip.

Did I mention I still have 3 more things to prepare iand then hours of cooking tomorrow?

Bah humbug! 30 minutes of unwrapping fun followed by 2 hours of yelling at children and clean up.  Now it's whoosh off to the in-laws (some may remember hearing about them from Thanksgiving in another thread). Yippee Skippy, dealing with unaccepting family.  Is it over yet?

Sounds like Christmas is performing exactly to factory specs!  You left out the fight, my detestable ex BIL used to turn up with a 6 pack of rubbish lager, help himself to Dad's single malt whisky then fight Dad, me, his sons or daughters boyfriends. He always lost!

I went to JC Penney's with a friend today with a $50 gift card and I ended up not buying anything. I wanted a new pair of black leggings and they were out of my size, and I wanted some sleepwear and again nothing really in my size. I almost got a couple v-neck t shirts that I could use but I didn't end up getting them because I figured it would just be better to save the card for later. Then I got home and tried on some clothes and I felt like nothing fits me right, even some really cute clothes that I bought over the summer are too big on me now! I can wait until the spring to get more dresses but I could really use some cute tops!

My eldest niece got a gift voucher stolen in Marks & Spencers by a woman who deliberately barged into her, knocked them out of her hand, picked them up & took 1 for herself. Kaths a very delicate timid girl & this was a much bigger older woman.
My ex BIL continues to blow his life up & be a PITA to everyone he comes near, he's drunk so much that he's drunk without drinking. My nephews & nieces refuse to have anything to do with him til he straightens up but he still tries to meddle in their lives (they're 22 to 31). I'm at my sisters yesterday & a neighbour tells me there's a drunk guy sat on my bike, sure enough it's him. I must be getting softer in my old age, a few years ago I would have chinned him

The weather's been absolute crap for 3 days in a row and I want to go out. When it's as bad as this it rattles the tiles on the side of the building all night and usually rips a few off. I said in another thread I don't like total silence when trying to sleep but when the storms are happening here it sounds like someone falling around on the roof for 12 hours at a time.

My dog is worrying me again.  He's not jaundice anymore, and is eating his hepatic diet food, but he groans in his sleep.  He also Won't Leave my side.  Wherever I go he climbs into my lap.  If I get near my bed he climbs in hoping it's time to sleep.  He's obviously not feeling well.  I wish dogs could just tell you what's wrong.

Too many ups and downs, DIY, purges of self inbetween dates.

Bari  Every dog I've ever had, yelps, jerks and seems to be fighting off packs of cats. They also love to climb on the bed and lie down next to me. The biggest problem I see in this has to do with my king size bed. If I start in the middle, every time I turn over the dogs get that much closer to me. Eventually by the end of the night my butt cheeks are hanging over the edge.

Received a call from my father yesterday who rang from New Zealand to tell me one of my Aunties has just been diagnosed with cancer and advised to "put her house in order" she has a massive untreatable tumour under her arm that extends across her chest along with secondaries in her lungs.

She and I have had a very special relationship for many years with her being one of the only people from the extended family who came to our wedding...more recently she was the only Aunty or Uncle to actually ring me after I came out to find out how I was doing. She has cared about me and for me in so many ways that were far over and above what is normally expected from Aunties and Uncles in my family.

This makes me incredibly sad just to think about it....I am frantically trying to organise a new passport so I can get over and see her.
