Susan's Place Transgender Resources

i just wanted to start something to see what you ladies all do for fun. Me after working and the fam time I am actually teaching myself how to play the violin. I am also apparently teaching my 6yr old daughter also. well this is all after shopping of course...lol

so what do you do?

After work, usually socialise with friends, try a new recipe, take some photos on sunsets, clean the place, go out to dinner with friends, go for a drive, watch something at the cinema, partake in the Flickr community - which can take a lof of my time..., massage my whole body with nice oils and of course have 'me me me time' :)  and let's not forget, go out on dates  ;)

Fun? What's that? :)

Downtime from work is like borderline a religious experience for me. Time with friends is by far my favorite, but i'll cook, even though that's what I do for work (when I do it for fun I experiment with some really crazy/silly stuff though), read, go for a run as I really enjoy that. Sleep is great too, since I usually get nowhere near enough (and I should be doing that now :D)

I mostly play games but lately having met a few local friends. We tend to go out and enjoy the nights. It's been quite refreshing for me to say the least.

Well, I work 5-6 days a week and i dont get home after work, so even when i goto sleep i am in my work truck, so i dont get all that much free time to do what I want these days. Since i keep my laptop with me, Eve Online and movies and calling my friends is basically what I get up to these days.

I miss shopping, d&d, paintall, hitting the goth clubs and hanging out all the time. Maybe once i have a job that i can get home everyday I will be able to do all that again

I was for 3 months and i didnt get home even once! Now I am a dedicated driver for one customer, they make sure I get home at least once a week, but at least i am not stuck 1000 miles away from home when things go wrong at home. I really want a job where i can get home everyday, but i havent had much luck yet.

I was a local driver for the past 5 years. Just recently lost that job. what area are you in? I know swift has some local work.

Oooo... I like this question.  I am a pool player.  I only picked up a pool cue for the first time 3 years ago, but it was instant love!  Within 6 weeks of starting to play, I bought my own pool table and converted my formal living room into a Barbie Billiards Room.  I play competitive pool around town, occasionally I compete in regional championship matches, and every spare moment I have I'm at my pool table honing my craft.  It is my intention to become the player to beat in the Pacific Northwest area.

I can usually be found at my beautiful pink pool table when I'm not a work.  I have a billiards ball jones!

Oh, plus I have 6 prison pen pals (including 2 trans women who are serving their sentences in men's prisons) that I write letters to frequently.  Mostly I write about playing pool though.   :D

Target shooting and time with the dog(s). Hugs, Devlyn

If the weather is right and I have nothing else planned to do I like to go to an local amusement park or go to the zoo on sunday nights when they have a program called Music Under the Stars.

Some may know it but it is Cedar Point.

I play Guitar, Piano and video games. Aside from that i like gardening too

I love to write--poetry and fiction, as well as nonfiction. I also write and play music on guitar, piano, and bass guitar as well as mix and produce with my computer, although I haven't had time for it in a while. Cooking is fun. I enjoy experimenting and creating new recipes, and inviting people over to eat and talk. Lastly, I love nature and travelling. My wife and I spend a lot of time at the local park playing with the kids, but we really miss the mountains and national parks in the northwest. Its our favorite area of the US--breathtakingly gorgeous--and we're hoping our next family trip will be back there.

Same here. It's my favorite thing to do.

Cooking, reading, writing, wine making, traveling, VW busses...but my main obsession is

Motorcycle Addict.  Latest steed: 2011 Yamaha Super Tenere.... 1200 cc of dual sport madness, perfect to load up for a month or two on the road in europe with the lil' lady in back, whooping through the twisties and hanging on for dear life when the road gets straight. >:-)

I honestly don't recall what I did for fun. It's been a long time (a LONG time) since I ever "cut loose" (if I ever have...?)

I don't even know "how" to have fun. When I go out anywhere, I ended up watching the people--especially the men--in order to "calibrate" myself on how "men" have fun, so I could mimick it.

Since recognizing the trans part of me, I don't do that anymore...but I still don't know how to let my "inner fun self" out for a run.

Drinking seems to help a little. Going to the local LGBTQ bar and meeting/socializing with other T-women seems to be fun...although I notice I am observing them now. Where's the "me" to be found?

Masturbate?  :P
Ha, sorry just joking though making love to someone you like... not a bad way to pass one's time... (Anny Hall, 1977)

Otherwise, I walk daily, read a lot (chick-lit), do Yoga once a week (fun? really ???), and SHOPPING, yeeeesss! (not food so much but cloths and of COURSE shooooes, heals, sandals, boots, the works, hum)

vw busses? Pics please! One day ill have an aircooled first gen, totally decked out! Or ill just make due with a cheap water cooled eurovan but thats nowhere near as cool!

Cool, another dubhead! Aren't they the best?? No photos cause the bus is as recognizable to people in my life as my face is, tho....maybe more so!  Mine is a late 70s bay camper, national geographic yellow w/ black tinted windows, poptop westie camper configuration... mint, baby. There's no greater relaxation than wrenching away underneath for a few hours on a nice breezy fall afternoon under the trees...

Play music, ride my motorcycle, visit friends, sleep in on Sundays, shop, kayak, go fishing and walk in the local bush.

I paint, listen to jazz records on my turntable, visit art museums and galleries, love food exploration, travel, spa dates when traveling, wine, some sports but not a whole lot (baseball mostly), and watching indie and foreign films.  I used to like photography, but only do it for family and travel now, so it's not really a hobby anymore.  I'm thinking of picking the piano back up too but need a piano first, lol.
