Susan's Place Transgender Resources

I'll get it started.

1) I drink a lot of soda water, often the flavored kind, but avoid sugary sodas and aspartame like the plague.
2) My nose cartilage is very firm and I can pop my nose 4 rlz. It usually freaks people out. I hardly ever do it anymore because I think I might eventually injure it.
3) For the last couple of years, my farts have been completely odorless 99% of the time.
4) I have extremely vivid lucid dreams and frequently remember them. I've occasionally contemplated pursuing shamanism.
5) I moved to New Hampshire in 2007 as an early participant in the Free State Project.
6) I love basements and cemeteries. I live across from a cemetery so I have an excellent view from the bay window in my office.
7) I don't smoke pot anymore because it sometimes triggers horrible panic attacks. Now my main vices are frequent coffee and occasional alcohol.
8) I've written three screenplays and I've been writing a novel for 10 years about a Romeo and Juliet style love story between a werewolf and another guy who has his own weirdness.
9) I was kicked out of the Navy for being gay.
10) I love role-playing games, table-top style mainly but also MMORPGs.

OK, I'll bite.

• I've never kissed a girl. I know I wouldn't like it, no matter what Katy Perry might say.
• The very first single I ever bought for myself was Do They Know It's Christmas? by Band-Aid, way back in 1984.
• I have never smoked, and I have never taken any drugs. Nor do I ever plan to.
• I was once kicked out of a big-name live show for taking photos. So my boyfriend & I just swapped T-Shirts with each other and went back in through a different entrance. We watched the rest of the show without incident.
• As a young adult, I was always the Designated Driver for my posse. None of them could be trusted to remain sober enough to drive us home... but I find it very easy to control my drinking.
• I've driven drunk once. That was more than enough to convince me that I will never, ever do it again. Nothing bad happened, but it was very frightening. Please don't try this at home, kids. Ever since then, I've followed one simple rule: if I'm driving I don't drink; and if I'm drinking I don't drive.
• When I was a kid I once ate liquorice ice-cream which was a deep, inky blue in colour. When I used the toilet a couple of hours later, everything came out dark green.  :o
• I snore... and if you roll me over, I just snore some more.
• The very first time I voted was in the Referendum of 1992 in which the South African president asked white voters whether we supported him in ending Apartheid and giving black citizens the right to vote. When I got back to the office after casting my vote, one of my black colleagues asked me whether I'd be willing to tell her how I voted. I said that I believe as a British-born person I should not have more right to vote in her native country than she does, so of course I used my ill-deserved vote to vote in favour of giving her her birthright. She cried & gave me a massive hug. Two years later we stood side-by-side voting in the national election in which Nelson Mandela was swept to power.
• One of the items on my Bucket List is to attend The Rocky Horror show in full drag. The day I'm able to go out in public in a basque, fishnets, make-up and high heels is the day I'll know I've managed to defeat my Gender Dysphoria.

Me three. Mine was due to my grandmother and circling words in a newspaper.

1, I have an underbite that I'm proud of.  I wouldn't get it corrected even if I could for free.

2.  I'm very self-conscious because of my weight.

3.  I would rather live in the anime world than this world.

4.  It was my ultimate dream to join the millitary and serve my country, but I can't achive that dream due to health and weight issues.  I don't think I can ever recover from the emotional trauma of not being able to put on that uniform.

5.  My favorite pastor to listen to online is ironically one of the only pastors I've seen (bar the Westboro church) that vehemately condemns the LBGT community on a routine basis.  Yet, I love this man and listen to his sermons almost every other day.

6.  I have an occasional twitch in my neck

7.  I love peeling the skin off my lip until it bleeds.

8.  I know how to manage my money well.

9.  I am a gamer- a Sony fanboy actually.  The Xbox is my rival so I must talk bad about it all the time.

Kindergarten bored the utter s*** out of me.

1. I seem to have slight gynecomastia
2. I tend to call my chicken soup the way i eat it when i'm sick "natural botox". I call it that because i use so much pepper on it that it feels....quite funny, almost like everything is being pulled to the back of my head, except not painful. When i have the flu, i tend to feel quite a bit better after two or three bowls of spicy chicken soup.
3. I used to sing during my lunchtime break at school. I got some very weird looks for that.

8. I learned how to read at the age of 3.

So, my son read his first word at 2.5 years (seriously, he is way smarter than me) and he was reading simple books at 3.  He turns 5 in January and he reads as well as any average 5th grader out there.  I don't remember being able to read before I was like 5 or 6.

1. I am fully aware of my failings. I am also fully aware that I very much like some of the things other people call failings.
2. I have an obsession with power.
3. I really like monsters. I also identify with monsters.
4. Most of the music on my iPod is German, but the most played song is "The Greatest Show Unearthed."
5. I have been to England, Ireland, Northern Ireland, Paris, and Monet's garden.
6. I have seen The Tempest performed at the Globe theatre, but it wasn't very good. Prospero kept dropping his staff.
7. I talk a lot especially about myself. I have trouble getting myself to shut up.
8. I like creepy things and gorn.
9. I have been to more concerts than I can remember, but I've only been to one since I moved.
10. I am very lonely. (Not a euphemism)

No I haven't see that video. What is it about,is it funny?

It's difficult to explain. Either one likes his videos or not. Lots of obscure or unexpected references, pitch-black humor, humor that gamers and sometimes metal fans will get best. Why i highlighted Rolling Rock is that there's this one episode where he "tests" old NES accessories and one of them is called the Roll N Rocker. Now, you must know, in his videos he's always drinking Rolling Rock and in that episode he grabs his bottle of Rolling Rock, steps onto the Roll N Rocker and says: "I can't believe this. I'm drinking Rolling Rock on the Roll N Rocker." which he then repeats but stops before it gets annoying.
