Title: Get thee to the unicorn forest
Post by: caseyy on November 29, 2011, 06:48:05 AM
Where is everyone? :( Wondering how Julian is holding up, Ativan is gone and I'm worried, Sevan has only been here sporadically, espo deleted their account it seems, Pica's been away for a while...amongst others...where are you folks?? This place is completely dead.

Well, none of the topics recently have really grabbed me, and I have run out of questions to ask. I still check regularly though.

I'm still here and check in. As someone who has been here for a while, I don't generally have questions or much of anything different happening in my life regarding non binary issues. I do post when I see a topic for which I have input.

*waves* hi, I'm here. Haven't had much to say lately. Hanging on.

I'm pretty worried about Ativan too.  :-\

Ativan will be fine I am sure.

Ativan has a tendancy to need to blow off steam.

I wager we haven't seen the last of Ativan.

I expect Atvian back sometime.

Ativan is out of the hospital and okay.


Me, I don't know if I count, but I am still in the thick of a major meltdown. All systems go! Or don't. :/

Of similar mind as Pica (on this issue at least ;)  ) My work is good...going to work as [birth name] is not...so much.

Trying to get the hang of the new schedule and just my usual general winter quietness.

How are you Casey?

I'm not one of the ones you listed as gone, but I'm here. Just started reading, posting and watching for the most part. I have noticed the pace as well though. Are their fewer of us that jump in the Androgyne section?

Riven1, checking in.

I swing by here often but like pica said none of the topics grab me, and i have nothing of interest to report so I just mostly lurk.

A nice bacon/fruitcake thread full of derail would be fun :)

i'm here, once in a while. won't leave completely, but real life has gotten interesting and tiring (mostly in a good way) enough that i often end up forgetting about online communities
at least i'm lucky enough to like my job and colleagues, and don't feel too much need to change my name. a funny thing happened today, btw. my boss called me by her husband's name. our names sound pretty similar, but his is male and quite common, and mine is neither. i'm usually only called that name by people who haven't heard my name before

espo checking in.

I like to wipe my account every now and again, its like putting on fresh underwear lol
No one has ever noticed before so thumbs up to Casey. The first time I deleted my account I did because I felt out of place like I couldn't really relate to anyone which is totally ME but I rejoined a tad later and realized how absolutely refreshing and cathartic a wiped-clean account is. I only wish I could do that in r/l

Oh great, so now we lost Casey. Someone stay here in case she comes back and I'll go look for her.

I'm still here! I had my wisdom teeth removed on Tuesday making me completely useless for two days, and then Safari decided to shut itself down every time I tried to post.

Glad Ativan is OK and that all here are doing well. :) Emma, of course you count! I was wondering about you too but wasn't sure if you would be comfortable being mentioned specifically as a member of the forest. Don't ask why, it seems silly now. And Sevan, I am excellent despite the tooth healing. Taka, I wish people would interpret my name as male! They always think it's something weird like Gayle. =/ I don't look anything like a Gayle.

We do need a good derailing thread, but I'm not of a random enough mind to come up with one that will stick.

Believe me, I know why you would hesitate friend. I am a split - I don't talk about it because it's really, really hard - gives me nightmares sometimes. I know I need a female body, I need to be addressed as a woman, but the binary can go to he**.

Anyway, It is what it is. I now own a woman's peacoat, and I totally won a gold flashlight from my favorite flashlight company today. I had a very good belated birthday.

I'm still in love with my wind-up solar powered AM/FM radio with integrated flashlight.  It's my best friend.

If it makes you feel any better, Emma, the type of woman you just described yourself as is exactly my type of woman. ;) Not that I have issues with binary girls, ha, I just have a soft spot for those that like to defy it. One of my favourite things in my past partner. She's a cisgirl, and before she met me she questioned her own gender identity...but as she got more comfortable with having sex (never had that with her past partners), she realized that she really loves her female body, and wouldn't want it to be anything other than female. But she said that she felt psychologically like she was simultaneously both/neither male and female, and that in terms of her mental gender identification (/lack of gender identification) she was happy just being "herself" as it were.

Well, physically I'm a girlish man who should be a boyish woman, and that's just using the English language (it'd be easier with interpretive dance, and hand puppets...) - so I tend to be around the MTF forums more because that's what I've got going on physically, but for all the rest of it I belong more here.

Been away, and ill, and freaked, sort of still a bit of all three, but hi anyway :).

Hi five!

Caseyy - she sounds pretty cool.

See what happens around here? We just kind of come out of the woodwork when questioned. It's like a strange story. An interesting one.

Thanks Caseyy, I'm okay, just been host to a run of different viruses, getting fed up, they just treat me like a hotel!! </mum>
