I'm thinking that someday, I should really post a real pic of me.
In other news, I'm thinking about having hotdogs for supper.
with cheese.
and oreos afterward. always have to have oreos. I think I've got a problem...
Hmm, oreos and a real pic, Will strawberry oreos be OK?
I've never seen strawberry ones. Not sure I would want to try another kind, haven't even tried the chocolate stuffed ones.

I think I've seen them, but can't say I've tried any other than plain and mint-stuffed, which I apparently really liked when I was younger.
They are OK for stawberry creme ones. Gift from my mother actually. I'd never by them. Now chocolate stuffed, I'm there. I think I may be made of chocolate stuff.

In that case, I'm in good company.
Thinking I need to join a crew for GTA V onine so I can get that shotgun and earn more xp. I need to really sit down and take some time to explore different PS3 crews and which ones I feel would meet my needs and vice versa. The ironic problem with that is that I'm too busy playing GTA V Online to focus on it lol!
Now I'm thinking about trigger warnings. I understand why trigger warnings are needed for some topics but honestly, it can get very tedious trying to decide what may trigger someone and when it comes down to it, ANYTHING can be a trigger. I need to go back and reread the TOS but I wonder if it would be allowable to just have a trigger warning in my signature saying "WARNING: EVERYTHING I post may contain a trigger. If you feel uncomfortable with this then please don't read any of my posts and skip over me. Thank you for understanding." That way, I'm covered and I wouldn't have to sort out what posts needs trigger warnings. I'm sure after 11,000 + posts many will see it.
This reminds me of a time in 6th grade where I had to work with percentages in math class and our teach said always make sure to put the percentage sign at the end of the number but I didn't feel like it so I put a percentage sign at the top left corner to represent that all answers should have a % at the end and when she saw it she said something along the lines of "I've never seen a percentage sign that represents ALL of them....stop being lazy and write it out." LOL
I'm thinking that that topic was a complete waste of time and it probably should be deleted.

Maybe someday when I'm old I'll start my own, non-profit organization that saves dogs, cats, and farm animals from euthanasia and being slaughtered and has them live out the rest of their lives on large acres of land. I could make it work if I got enough donations.
Then again it would probably take all of my free time, and I've been known for my unrealistic ambitions. (I still wanna be an astronaut-nurse -.-")

You are funny, thank you. I'm older & own lots of land. My animals are Hereford cattle & 2 nice female white great pryeness dogs that I love.
During those times when everything seems to be going wrong in our lives and we come to the place where we feel like we are standing on our tip toes and are about to drown in a river of ->-bleeped-<-, there are a few among us that are just made of finer and more resilient stuff and though their own life is in jeopardy and disarray, they somehow muster the ability to reach out selflessly to encourage others. This brings to mind our friend LordKAT, someone who I admire for his understanding that his own trying times are but a test, that he will rise above it and become stronger. Been observing and thinking about him for days now, my hat is off to LordKAT a true winner, the comment in red below is in tribute!

I wonder what people would say at my funeral. Because I'm so egotistical, I should prepare my own speech about how a fine soldier I would have been and how he was a spunky individual all other types of things that would stroke my ego thinking about it now. It would be awesome to have people dressed up in millitary uniforms to stand at attention and salute me, shoot rifles, bring an honorguard, fold the flag, etc. Of course, since I'll never be a veteren, that isn't going to happen unless I go private, and that ain't going to happen either. At least I can imagine it in my head now.

I find it commendable when a cisgender heterosexual spouse stays with their partner through their transitioning out of love. I had to take a step back and put on some "what-if" lens. What if my girlfriend told me she was transgender and that she wanted to get top and bottom surgery and take hormones and all the other stuff that goes with transitioning? Just what if? This may seem very hypocritical of me but I'd be devesated since I feel in love with a woman and all of the feminine things about that woman in particular. I know for myself, even as a transman, I'd take it hard since I mostly consider myself a typical straight guy. I would never condemn her/him. Would I try to work through the relationship with them? Perhaps. It would take some time though, but I fear the relationship might just move into the friend zone and more of a bromance.

I can understand that. If someone I was dating turned out to be a trans man, I don't think I'd be able to handle it. I'm not exactly the most emotionally stable person, even more so now that I'm on E. No offense to you fellows, but I'm just not attracted to guys. I'd like to think we could still be friends, though.

This is basically how I feel. If I were bi I'd like to think I'd be open to it, but, I don't like men and I wouldn't know how to relate to a man romantically.
I am thinking that there is a big difference between "support" and "sympathy."
"Support" means helping someone correct issues that are adversely affecting them.
On the other hand, "sympathy" tends to enable self-destructive behavior. Looking constantly for sympathy is a ploy to avoid taking personal responsibility. In the long run, sympathy undermines real support.
Telling a person to pull their head out of their rear end is often valuable advice.

True, but how valuable that advice really ends up being can depend a great deal on the approach to the advice giving. For example, public shaming usually isn't the best way to give said advice.
On another note, the reason I actually came to this thread, it really bugs me seeing so many spelling and grammar mistakes on here, if only there was an editor position at Susan's....I suppose that could be offensive to some people....oh well.

I agree. I constantly have a problem with there, their, and they're.
As to advice, some people are not ... let's say ... receptive. They would rather have a pity party.
I'm glad I'm not alone in this feeling. More power to the S/O because honestly, I don't think I could do it if a female I loved transitioned to a man, the more I think about it, unless he was a VERY feminine male. I'm just trying to comprehend the thoughts of what one may go through, having to think about possibly redefining their own selves and attractions and if they are religious, reconciling their faith with their partner moving towards the same gender.
One thing is for sure, that whoever my partner might be, she will know I'm trans before we get married.

Tags can help you search for you post later. They are "keywords."
Seperate is not a word....that was the point
Yeah, there are lots of misspellings in the forum software
I believe that it is a delicate balance and that sympathy and/or empathy are part of the support process
The ability to sympathize and/or empathize is a large part of understanding the problem and therefore lends to being able to offer viably supportive advise
I also feel that it is important to be able to recognize the difference between a 'sympathy hound' and a person who is actually seeking helpful advise with whatever the problem may be
It is also important to realize that not everyone is going to understand and/or agree with the advise given by another and that there could be a variety of reasons for that
I had a very good conversation with a friend of mine tonight, about our desires for placement and/or memorials after we die.
I have a peculiar sense of my death, and am particular about where I want my ashes to be put, but had no one whom I could trust with even the information, let alone the process.
This difficulty is now resolved.

It's difficult to draw while listening to a good song and when it hits the chorus you can't help but to dance while sitting. @_@
Damn you, Taeyang.
Putting off coming out to father and sister for very little good reason. Father came from an apparently religious family (and we still have a few church-going relatives), and that's a concern even if he and mother don't seem to be religious. Sister could help with this, as I really don't know how to approach him but she might give me perspective, but I'm not fond of her and haven't been for a while. My genetic family doesn't actually mean that much to me, so I'm *slightly* vexed to have to depend on them for this, which is just another reason I've been putting things off.
On top of that I need to have another talk with mother, since it seems she doesn't get that I do need to transition, or at the very least get top surgery (I know we have more than enough money for it) so the body gets a little less hate.
Back to dragging heels... Perhaps I'll talk to sister next time we're alone in the kitchen.

I have indulged in Rammstein the most (missing only two or three albums) but I also like Megaherz and Oomph!. :)
Sehnsucht era Rammstein is just perfect for sanding walls. |D
And Korean boybands are good for wallpapering.
Makes sense. Sanding is like, well, sanding and wallpapering is making the walls all pretty. Then again, I have no idea what Korean boybands sound like.
One of my former friends (the one who flipped on me for telling her what the cause of Down's Syndrome was) just messaged me asking to help her with a presentation at the end of the month. I told her that I would but for a price: she still owes me an apology and I refuse to be treated as anything less than equal. Chances are, she'll complain about how I'm being unfair or something, but I feel really good about my response.
Someone told her I was on T. I'm not exactly keeping it secret, so that's not the problem. The problem is that at least one of my friends are talking about me with her.
Update: Huh. She actually apologized.

But if you find the right Korean bands, they sound... well, pretty. :'D Or just badass.

I hate it when I innocently start a thread but then fear others won't have good intentions when posting. I don't like feeling like I am opening a can of worms.
Now I am thinking, where does the saying "like opening a can of worms" come from?

Makes sense. Sanding is like, well, sanding and wallpapering is making the walls all pretty. Then again, I have no idea what Korean boybands sound like.
One of my former friends (the one who flipped on me for telling her what the cause of Down's Syndrome was) just messaged me asking to help her with a presentation at the end of the month. I told her that I would but for a price: she still owes me an apology and I refuse to be treated as anything less than equal. Chances are, she'll complain about how I'm being unfair or something, but I feel really good about my response.
Someone told her I was on T. I'm not exactly keeping it secret, so that's not the problem. The problem is that at least one of my friends are talking about me with her.
Update: Huh. She actually apologized.
You know there's something a little bit off about yourself when you watch a movie and the character you most want to be like is the devil. And not the suave devil from... umm... what's an example of suave devil from a movie? Anyway, not that one. The one played by Viggo Mortensen.
Bedazzled has a suave devil. I prefer Tim Curry from Legend, though.

The little we had just disappeared today... Maybe it came from here?
Been under a lot of stress lately...and anxiety. Hard to tell from whence it came, or whither it shall lead...
But today, after a meeting with a court facilitator (person who reviews divorce papers; she got mine all nice and purty) I've noticed a big drop in anxiety.
I was even able to do the dishes today, something I hadn't been able to do for almost a week.
Less than a month to go until the judge says we're free!! (Except for the child support payments...)

'Y'all' is a deep south type thing, not an American thing. Everything cheaper? Not necessarily, most people I know that went to Europe say how everything there is cheaper. I think it is all relative and you will some of each everywhere.

Fair enough. I heard some y'alls when I was in Indiana, and I did find a lot of things cheaper, but it definitely isn't representative of the US as a whole. Actually, I remember Keaira and I met one younger girl at the pool who was from San Diego and she was really unhappy to be in Indiana because she felt like she didn't fit in at all, kind of like being in a different world.

LAMO too Caleb, gee you'd better be careful or you could end up being a right wing nutter like me and a few other nutters here who "cling to their bibles and their guns". Btw if you're going the y'all route you have to say bible like bah'ble, y'all better practice up! ;D :D
"Ya'all" is heard quite a bit in the places I've been to (WA, ID, MT)...there are two syllabils, "ya" and "all"...ya'all.
:)
That's probably not authentic Southern style, but that's ok...I hear they eat crawfish down there, too. I always screamed like a girl when I was handed one as a young'in...

Today I shall began sleeping with only one pillow from now on, in hopes that it will help straighten my spine. This is especially important for passing since I have an unnaturally long neck. -.-" And it's healthier for you anyway. I'm also hoping that straightening my spine will hide my adam's apple deeper in there.
I might have gone with no pillows at all but I'm afraid I'd roll on my side. >.< And that's not good for your neck with no pillows. :3

I'm thinking about all of the talk about the "Affordable Health Care Act" in the U.S. Honestly, it all confuses me and everytime I read about it and read people's opinions about it, I lose several brain cells. I think the general consensus I'm getting is that we are screwed (though, I could be wrong). I think the best thing for me to do is just to stay on my mom's insurance until I'm 26 so I wouldn't have to worry about it for the next 5 years. Chances are I will still have to though. It's funny because one Sunday when I was telling my mother I want a moped she was all against it, but then shortly after I told my mom that I'm probably going to stay with her and just suck up all of her insurance until I'm 26, she told me "now that's a better idea".
Now there's the whole transitioning while staying with her and staying in this small town but honestly, that's a discussion for another day.

Sometimes the problem is that we, as a group, have spent way too much time keeping people out. It gets too comfortable to stay with in our castle walls. Reaching out for help, support, information is difficult. Accepting people as friends who we can trust or even being able to love is often more like scary.

I had a lovely lunch yesterday with a aboriginal-rights activist. We named and analyzed parallels between the social and semantic "othering" of transgender and aboriginal peoples.

You have struck on something I have observed too, we do tend to have our walls up and love is often thought of as synonymous with sex which raises a certain"ick" factor for many. Love can be so much more encompassing, warm and nurturing, the outward expression not necessarily being sexual at all, and then only when it's mutual after layers of trust have been established. Many never make it to that point having closeted themselves emotionally due to multiple layers of various fears and insecurities.

Reaching out for help, support, information is difficult. Accepting people as friends who we can trust or even being able to love is often more like scary.
And yes, this post describes me.
My twin speaks the truth for me, also. Having friends can be
terrifying.*hugs*
Please don't laugh or roll your eyes.
Thinking when do I have to tell I'm trans. I've been approached by a les girl looking forward to a relationship, and how knows if we will meet in real life. I'm afraid about my voice as usual, but... Usually I kinda think that my photos should be a dead giveaway of my origin, but nooo, they have to love my legs, "flat" stomach and face... It's too weird.
QuoteOriginally posted by Shantel:
Love can be so much more encompassing, warm and nurturing, the outward expression not necessarily being sexual at all, and then only when it's mutual after layers of trust have been established. Many never make it to that point having closeted themselves emotionally due to multiple layers of various fears and insecurities.
This is a new perspective for me...the idea that "love" doesn't *have* to include sex.
Sex is, for me, less intrusive/uncomfortable/painful (even if one considers the shame which sometimes happens) than allowing someone into my heart, and hurting me from within.
What am I thinking! Sadness!!!

I just called out of work, being held down by several heavy weights within...
I got fired yesterday. I didn't ask why, and I don't care. That job sucked, hardcore. I'm going to see if I can get a job at my local Joann's Fabric store.
On the one hand, I'm happy that I'm not getting covered in fiberglass anymore.
On the other hand, I kind of need a job to pay for my transition.
My sister wants me to work a college football game with her and the church tonight but since I'm on my period, I don't know. I really don't feel like standing up in the cold all day freezing while I'm losing blood, especially if the game is going to last all night. The second and third days are the most heaviest for me. Doing that for no pay? No thank you. I'd rather play GTA V and plan out my Black Friday strategy. I do feel bad though. Stupid period.
Apparently I am thinking two things this morning:

Yup, that's me. It goes in stops and starts, of course. I let someone in a bit. Stop. Then let someone in a bit. Stop. Then... I have a friend who seems very fluid in his ability to open in very appropriate way situation to situation. He has much, many would think, to be ashamed of, but he keeps showing up. It's inspiring. I'm having lunch with him today.
Quote from: Just Gwynne! on November 14, 2013, 07:15:29 AM
I had a lovely lunch yesterday with a aboriginal-rights activist. We named and analyzed parallels between the social and semantic "othering" of transgender and aboriginal peoples. I bet there's a dissertation for somebody discussing trans* issues explicitly in terms of the discourse/rhetoric of decolonialization.
I recently read a book entitled, 'Native Poetry in Canada: A Contemporary Anthology'. Edited by Jeanette Armstrong, this collects work from the late 1960s to the early 2000s. Basically, it read to me like an account of a marginalized people fighting to find - and succeeding in finding - their voice. The parallels with trans culture struck me again and again. I cried over and over.
One of my favourite poets was Rita Joe who writes: 'I lost my talk / The talk you took away'

Yes it is ;D I think if it was the wrong train it'd be sending me in your direction though. Guess I am missing out on your scrumptious dinners. :(
The Greenbush train invariably leaves on track 13. You just missed thin crust pizza from the Venetian.
I'm closer to becomming a normal woman however I still have so much more to do & time to just wait.
I'm ready to go out into the world 100% normal & maybe meet a new man. That would be great!

Thanks for comment however I'm not even close. So much to do & wait. I just now having my second facial electrolysis this Saturday. Maybe after cleaning up some more of my face I'll feel better. Plan a 2 hour serious session.
Tsk tsk. I am at the indianapolis airport and keaira is 10 mins late. :p I was walking trying to hide a dumbass grin only for the reason for the dumbass grin to not even be thete.
The preview of TOP's new single was... let's say, interesting. I seriously don't know what to expect from it. @_@
But at least his voice is still p0rnz for ears.
Thinking whether or not I should start ZOE 2.
I should be taking notes...
... but... there's music on. Distracting music. It seems I can't get myself to turn it off. Hm.
Yesterday's was unexpected. SO we were meeting to visit a tiny "music market" or whatever you call ir in english, like a flea market but just music, inside a shopping mall. Obviously I had no interest in it despite having proposed it (Not a lot of money availale... So guss what happened. Upon arriving, my firnd's girlfriend's says "I'm going to check the clothing shops", and I directly reply "Coming with you".
So, instead of music we went hunting for leggings... ;D
I'm excited about my weekly visit to my electrolysis salon tomorrow We are going to do a 2 hour session & have my eyebrows reshaped. Sarah, the tech is so excited to make my face 100% feminine. She really likes me & I like her. She is a beautiful woman that just loves to make other women beautiful. I may have my legs waxed soon. That would be so nice. I use some special numbing cream 45 minutes before each visit to help get started asap. It is some very strong lotion made in Denmark, it seems to work very well.
I've been playing through Arkham Origins. I recently finished the little side quest with the Mad Hatter. After rescuing "Alice", Batman assures the crying woman that the cops are on their way and that "everything will be all right now". She simply looks up at him and says, "No it won't", then resumes her sobbing.
I now wish I had hurt the Hatter more when fighting him. All I did was beat him up, when Batman has so many gadgets that can cause pain.
Sure, the other villains kill people, but rape is a special kind of evil. Even the Joker never sank to those depths.

Looking at the mirror.
I can't see my old face.

Kind of hard to build a good solid program on a platform filled with holes that constantly needs patches and upgrades.
My fiancé's laptop has Windows 8 and it's awful. That's one of the reasons I refuse to use it. Clearly designed for smart phones, not actual computers.
But the Solitaire collection game thingy is nice... I like playing Tripeaks. :D
This pc has Windows 7. It's pretty nice but I still miss XP, quite pretty graphics and easy to use.

Thinking about bringing somebody to my place and realizing how filthy everything looks is forcing me to try and clean as much as possible. So far bedroom entrance and living room are more or less passable. Time for a shower.
I'm thinking it is about time to wash my face very well with warm water then apply my numbing cream for my weekly visit to my electrolysis lady/salon.
Glad I saw my GP today, she is awesome.
Hope it stops raining overnight.
Yawn.

I'd like it to snow... Though perhaps on Sunday night so Monday's off.

I need to do some work, best to start before noon.
My sister said she is planning on going to Brazil for a mission trip/vacation. I'm a little jealous because I've always wanted to go to Brazil. I wanted to go to Carnival and to see the big Jesus statue. My sister said her trip is going to cost her about 2 grand, which is money I don't have. Well, it's money I do have, but I'm in no position to fritter it away like that. Besides, if I go to Brazil, I'm going there for nothing but a vacation only. I'm strapping on my shark tooth necklace, turning on some Nicola Conte. renting a surfboard, and pretending like I'm surfer (though I don't know how to swim) and problably going to drown in the process. Lol, I'll probably just stick to the baby waves and just sit on the surfboard, floating around like I'm doing some spectacular trick. I'm going to do it in style though like "I'm just going with the flow man. I'm just letting the waves take me where they wanna go because it's their territory and I'm just a visitor, like Aunt Flow. I'm just going to go with the flow."

I feel like i am going to fall asleep in my chair, listening to Frank Zappa playing live in 1974. I find it rather easy to sleep in a chair. I do it every morning on the train and i used to do it on the bus too. I have company, so no one's going to be able to steal anything.

I suppose what they said in the news and weather forecast about strong stormy winds was true. I can hear them through the walls. The news also warned about possible power outages because of the winds and our lights just flashed... I guess it's just the matter of time before we lose power completely.
And here I was thinking about playing more ZOE 2... Don't really wanna take the risk of losing power in the middle of some battle without saving.

But the way a lot of people relate on here seems off lately. Could be tension or just the season too.

They are singers of sacred music. I live in Connecticut where they are based and they had a show 8pm Sunday night and it happened to be free. Yale was sponsoring the performance and the place was packed full and it was also their 40th year. It would make you cry hearing them sing.
What BS, I downloaded the "free" Wall Street Journal app, turns out you can only read one article a day, if you want to read more you need to get a $22/month subscription. They should just make you pay for the app.
I'm out of razor blades and so is my local store. I'm three days into this beard and it's making me want to claw my face off with my bare hands.

Insomnia... guh. Hate it... :P

A sure cure is to sleep on it, you won't have insomnia anymore.
I'm feeling...good. Like after a wonderful morning stretch good.
And listening to the Tallis Scholars on YT.
FYI, if anyone is in the Seattle area...check out the Compline service at St Marks Cathedral on Capitol Hill. They have an a capela choir on Sunday night at 930, and OMG imagine this style of music in a Medieval church, with hundreds of people sitting in the pews and on the floor, on blankets, pillows, and cuddled with their SO...very LGBTQ friendly, btw. (It is Capitol Hill, after all).
The music blows my mind...and to experience the people-aura...beyond words.

I wish, I wish! :) my problem isn't getting to sleep at bed time, that happens so easily it's stupid. Then, at some time during the night, I'll wake up and not be able to get back to sleep for one or two hours. It's usually between 2 and 4 am... a total pain! zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz........

I had the same problem...in my case, it was 1-3...and it was directly related to a particular round of abuse. My ex would say I would get "very active" in bed, thrashing, "running", etc and my dreams (if I recalled them) were always of a "running and gunning" nature. Or running to hide.
Not saying your insomnia is from that kind of background, but maybe examine your thoughts at the time of waking? (And keep in mind that abuse can be totally hidden until later in life...so even if your body/mind says, "Oh, it's nothing", allow it to express whatever it needs, without judgement)
It could just be stress, too. Worry, anxiety, etc. Or maybe your neighbor coming home at 0155... ???
Today has been rather strange. At 16:10 I was studying when I got a phone call from my LGBT support association. Apparently The woman's institute had commissioned a study on views and experiences from homosexual women, including the transgendered ones. Looks like I was the backup in case the previous one could not come. Just to have a recorded chat in which we would discuss our relation with the municipal public services (sport facilities, job search, health providers and Gender Identity Clinics, legal service, etc) with coffee and cookies.
Well, I couldn't say no after having been there for transition orientation, support groups... At 19:30 today. Ten minutes later I get another call saying that they got it wrong and it is at 17:00... In 40 minutes. I still had to shower, fix my hair a bit, get dressed and put all the makeup, plus a 30 minutes trip...
I got there at 17:30. Looks like my voice sounds kinda better than other trans women. Oh yes, first time I am with another one for more the two seconds of crossing paths while going to therapy. Anyways, I really did not understand the importance they were putting on the impact of homosexuality on daily lives. One thing is identifying with gender, but everything sounded strange since to most people my sexual orientation remains a mystery (I'm not even sure myself and I could go with asexual right now)...
Too many hours outside since I had support group right after that. I'm busted...

I'm pretty sure it's all of the above... except the neighbour leaves for work at 0330! (Poor guy, he's very considerate and quiet, but sometimes even the gentlest click of his door is enough to wake me up). Got an awful lot going on at work with a restructure in play and I'm the staff rep and union delegate (and masochist, apparently) so I have a lot on my plate trying to make sense of it all. But it's undoubtedly the HRT too, the insomnia has calmed down a lot since I changed to a sub dermal pellet in place of one of one particular pill. I thought it had been solved but the stress at work the last couple of days means if I wake up (or am woken up) during the night my brain starts game playing whether I want to or not. "Sleep, who needs that?" says my brain!

I've always had spates of that including night sweats and I'm not real fat, I think it's HRT connected because the gonads shrink just like a cis woman's ovaries do during menopause, that's what we go through for the most part. Back when I had my orchiectomy I was amazed to see that the gonads had shrunk to the size of peas under the influence of female hormones. Another thing that seems to exacerbate that same problem post-orchie is any change in hormone levels as we do still retain a prostate which responds by shrinking or enlarging depending on what's going on in our bodies.

Thanks doll baby, I'm pretty much past it at this point, just sharing with the younger set. I saw a woman out shopping recently wearing shorts, and it's definitely not shorts weather, she pulled a little battery driven fan out of her big purse and was blowing it in her face, she had lit up and was really pink. I commented telling her that it will pass honey, been there and done that! :D ;D

Yes, I find myself getting easily over heated too. That's also improved since switching to the sub dermal pellet, but heading into summer means it's fairly moot! I'm really glad women generally wear lighter clothing and less of it.
I think something clicked in my father's head since this morning. He's not treating me like a doormat today. I like it.

You'll be surprised how thick it is when you talk to someone from the north. I've been up north for 8 years and people still ask me what part of Virginia I'm from when I talk.

A guy I knew in the Navy just messaged me on Facebook to ask if I was the person he served with on the boat. I'm like, dude, there's my picture right there, you can't tell? He needed to ask to make sure? Yay, pass? Probably not, but it makes me feel better. I've said before, if I can at least muddle through with androgyny, I'll be happy. Full on "Hello, ma'am" would be great, but "Hello... friend" is fine too.
Caleb and I made a video for Susans. It got cut a little short by the camera. -_-
But I will post it tomorrow. Also, we took some measurements of each other and we are almost the same size and proportion as each other. Which is really interesting. And we had dinner with Jannie's Mom. It really hit home that my big Sister was really gone when she was showing me pictures. I broke down in tears.

Most likely you do and just are so used to it that you won't pick it up yourself. I've gotten different comments on my accent. But when I was up north some, they definitely picked up what bit of southern accent I have. And even though I've lived where I am now for 18 years, I still have gotten comments that I don't sound like I'm from here.
You have a very thick and great southern accent and I think it's adorable!
I originally thought Malachite was a northern too--I was going to originally guess upstate NY or like Ohio. I was not expecting SC.
Anyways, I am thinking about how cold my fingers are and asking myself why I am not in FL right now. . .
I am thinking of how hard it is to communicate with my friends, even with whatsapp!
It is worse than sending old letters. The answers take ages. We are trying to decide where we are going this night, but we are trying since 6 pm...now it is almost midnight and nothing was decided! I think I'll just go to my bed...
Wondering if I'll ever find a name that suits me well enough. The ones I tend to like don't really fit, and most are male and I don't necessarily want something male, but it's hard to find androgynous names I identify with. It seems I haven't much of a name at all these days, which I'm fine with, but you can't change your name to nothing.
In league with that, I find that I've almost stopped hearing my own name - possibly others', but I haven't been too observant - when it's spoken to me. This I take to mean that the names I'm called have ceased being important enough to identify with, as I suppose they should be.
It makes me wonder for binding contracts that require the use of a legal name - the idea is that, sure, it's legally binding, but there's no more importance to that if the name isn't right and the person doesn't find any identity in it; it isn't binding on a personal or even emotional level. At least to me, once the name is written, everything else seems like a lie.
*Sigh* I also ramble too much. Far too much. I need to orchestrate my thoughts, or else open up a Word page and type a novel about all of these little tangents I go on.

Life is beautiful. Why for so long did I screw it up?
I am BROKE. Basically with my remaining income this term, I will have enough to *just* cover two months of rent, hormones, tuition, and credit card bill from the cost of the trip (flight, hotel, etc). So...the students write their final in early January, then my job is done. So basically, literally the next day I will be applying for some little part time job to cover the essentials unless I can teach one more time.
I literally can't even afford to buy myself a hamburger or I'll go into debt. -_- I will not have debt.

Just make sure you have enough. *hugs* Anything you can sell? Raid your storage room? I do that from time to time haha. I am super broke myself too, had to swallow some pride and ask my mother for 30 bucks today so that I can at least eat something until I get money again. It's a crap feeling. Money can't bring you happiness they said, but lack of it can certainly make you moody. :p
Liam, what's salt for sheepskins for?
Typing up my will and going to save it to my thumb drive for my sister to access. I've been thinking about it a lot since Sunday. It would crush me to have something to happen to me and have my Susans family to question where I went. Whether or not my sister would actually sign in to tell is another story, but at that point that would be between her and God. I think she would honor me enough to do that though. While I'm at it meh, the money goes to my mom, the games go to my nephew and I'll just let them pick out what they want of mine and just sell the rest.
Well, that's the basis of it lol.

wish i could do that! it sucks but wearing one is better than feeling them moving with every step you take.
btw i've been having these embarrassing dreams lately. the latest one i just posted in what did you dream about thread.there was one where my shorts had a hole in the middle and everyone could see what's beneath. in another i was being watched while in bathroom. and again i had a shower in the class. i was topless and everyone could see me, but i had to finish bathing before dressing up. being topless in public occured in the dreams more than once. yeah all dreams had my current body. in all of them i feel embarrassed to death and a lot of self disgust. wonder why the frequency of such dreams suddenly intensified. does that reflect some internal fear i have?
Well, I finished my will-took longer than expected. Now I just to tell my sister where to find it in case something happens to me. Tried calling her but she didn't pick up so I'll call again later.

I should be fine again as soon as I get a job (but then all that savings goes to surgery...lol). It sucks though, there's been a few times in the last couple years where I literaly cut my credit card in half until I was back on my feet and had cash to burn. The temptation is so great! Even for a burger here, sandwich there...all adds up.

I have a few things I could sell if I absolutely needed to, but I don't think I'd need to unless I couldn't find a job in two or three months. Only sellable things I have I use every single day (PC, tablet, and xbox). Food is fine - I live with my parents and they include it as part of my rent. I mentioned my slowed cash flow to them and my dad said he'd take me to the store and buy me food that I liked, so I would pack it for lunch and not feel like I had to eat out.

Nursing-from what I understand-is an incredibly difficult career you shouldn't pursue if you're not interested.
It's one of the few jobs where disinterest on the job could mean someone's life.

Lol I wish the pouty face on him, but he never told me that so it wouldn't work! I thought about going nursing for the cash but then I realized in time that it wasn't for me. Now my father feels the need to add in sly comments like "well you chose your path where you will have to deal with drunks and get stabbed, but that was your choice since you didn't want to take up nursing." Yeah, because with me being a germaphobe and I, I just reallllly want to hang around hospitals all day where sick people are. I commend nurses for what they do but I just simply cannot do tat.
Nurses, especially ER nurses, sometimes deal with drunks and get stabbed.
Nursing, imho, must be a passion, it can't be anything else and still provide exceptional medical care and humanity. Without passion...one provides "adequate" care, and "Oh yeah, you're still alive. Now I have to empty the bedpan again.

Sorry Ken, you'll have to have that little talk with her. Obviously people need to set boundaries and others need to be agreeable, even moms.
I am thinking about one of my co-workers. . . she always slices a banana in half and leaves the uneaten half on the counter in the kitchen all day. It's really disgusting and attracts flies. Later on (or even the next day!) she'll go and eat the other half. It seems really disgusting. We have a refrigerator, why not use it? I had to throw part of her banana out which was there since Thursday after she left tonight because it'd be disgusting Monday morning.
Looking at pictures of ancient Pompeii. . you can actually see people's bodies all covered in the lava or whatever it is now. It's almost like looking into someone's tomb.

Had a wild electrical storm a few hours ago and there was huge lightning bolt less than a second away. Impressive as I saw it happen! What a noise, don't get them very often and shook the place. Hope its fine in the morning as getting sick of this Sydney weather, Wet, wet, wet....
If it isn't unseasonably hot and the air choking with smoke from fires we're being flooded and hail stones are whizzing around our heads. Sydney... seems like there's no nice middle place with the weather sometimes! That storm was crazy, I know we're many suburbs apart Jen but we got one of those incredibly close and loud thunder bolts out where I live too, sure rattled the fillings in my teeth!

Sorry Ken, you'll have to have that little talk with her. Obviously people need to set boundaries and others need to be agreeable, even moms.
Trust me I have. She has a selective memory. Sometimes not intentional.

I live atop a hill overlooking a park. Last week, after months of dry and hot spring weather, the grass was as brown and as dead looking as you could get. After a week of heavy rain the park is now a bright emerald green. Amazing.

What's more important, standing up for my beliefs on principle even though it may burn almost every bridge I have or staying quiet because speaking up is not likely to change anything anyways? Nothing to gain either way, so its a choice on what to lose. Lose self respect or lose important social connections. Not a fun choice.
i don't know your specific circumstances but is it possible to burn the bridge in such a way that you create new ones at the same time? It requires a gentle, tactful, respectful and yet a strong unwavering approach. Not easy I know!

I wish I could tell you the right answer...I face basicaly this very same thought everyday. Should I keep with my beliefs and go trough a path that will end destroying my relation with my family, my chances of getting a good job, all my current friendships? Or shall I give up, lose my dreams and any possibility of happiness, staying the same, hiding who I am and what I feel?
I face this though everyday...and I usually decide to stay with my dreams and face the consequences. Your self respect is more important than anything and new friends and opportunities can always be found. Who knows what the future has for us?

No, it'd be ok. It's also very true. (One can't fix a problem without knowing what the problem is)...and if the person isn't replying to your communications, then it's easy to think that either they're busy, or they've decided to quietly pull away from you (for whatever reason--and it might
not be something you did)
Tonight's TDOR event, which I had helped to organize, went well. there was a great turn out. And Jannie was remembered. I wish Caleb and Azzie had been able to attend. I know we all miss Jannie a lot. Teresa, Jannie's Mom was there too. she made paper cranes for the event. 38 of them. 1 for every birthday Jannie had had. Teresa gave me a Lanyard that had belonged to Jannie, her tag still on it. She didn't bring Jannie's remains to the event. I think, until I can actually pay my final respects to her, there won't be any closure for me. Still, I think she would have been happy with tonight's service.
I need to read up on the pharmacokinetics of oral estradiol.

I wish I had the guts to sing in front of people. I don't think I'm anything near the best, but people have told me I should open up more. Every time I watch music shows on tv I cry because I want to be on that stage. I don't care if I get a yes or no, but I feel like I'm missing something good.

I'm doing laundry and then I need to clear the water system in my neighbor's rv because its going to freeze tonight. And I'm going to make sure the bulb is on in my pump house and turn off the water supply to the shop. I also have to check another neighbor's bulb and turn off his outside faucet since it isn't freezeproof.
You've got a lot on your plate, seems like you would be a great neighbor for anybody to have! I look out for my neighbors like that too, there's a single Asian woman I do things for, then an old lady down the block in her 90's, and the inept guy across the street that doesn't know which way a lightbulb screws in. Someone's gotta help them or they'd just harm themselves doing something stupid.

Yeah, with the north wind, our windchill is about 28. Its cold, but I got the rv taken care of, moved to my other driveway and plugged in to keep the batteries up. Now, more laundry and some coffee.
I'm thinking that wind chill factor makes a lot of difference when it comes to freeze potential.

One of my friends is a nice guy (so far) who is willing to answer my questions on Norse stuff and history without shaking his head condescendingly. Except when people have an interest in religions that their ancestors didn't follow. This makes me feel uncomfortable. (For the context, he's a caucasian Canadian and he was judging someone who is into Greek mythology.) I can't quite put my finger on exactly why this bothers me. I guess I figure it's not his place to judge other people for their likes and beliefs.
His reasons is he's really big into ancestor worship apparently. That's neat I guess. Personally, I think it would be really cool to be able to trace one's ancestor's back as far as possible. My dad didn't even know we're descended from Norwegians until he started looking into it because he didn't know much either. Unfortunately, my dad is not someone I feel like having a chat with. Actually, I've only heard stories of the past three generations (mine, my parents', and my grandparents). In other words, the only "ancestors" I really know anything about are people who want nothing to do with their parents. I wonder how far that pattern goes back. Maybe that's why I know next to nothing about my ancestors. I'm not too keen on the idea of honouring the ones I know about. I wonder if he judges me for my lack of ancestral knowledge.
Which is why I guess I'd make a lousy pagan. Thank goodness I decided to just do whatever.
I made an apple crisp. It smells really good. It's cooling.
I'm also displeased with my brother, as per usual. Mom asked him to clean up after his bird, so he does a haphazard job, and ends up dragging the bird food and bird poop throughout the kitchen and bathroom and it's all over the floor. Guess who is sweeping it up? My mother. Guess who cleaned up when he made a smoothie this morning? My mother. I said to her "you shouldn't be the one doing that, mom" and she goes "well I asked him to clean his room so..." Yeah. Keeping his room clean should be the bare minimum expectation, and doesn't excuse him from making disgusting messes.
Oh well. I figure her resentment will build and hopefully he'll get the brunt of it.
Now I want apple crisp... Darn you, Caleb!
Your brother sounds frustrating.
Hey Edge, if there's something Norwegian you can't translate or have problems understanding, Norse mythology, vikings and all.. you can always give me a poke and I can look into it.

Dear gods, kittenswithmittens, do you know what you're offering? Norwegian is on my list of languages to learn. Once I start, I may pester you with language related questions. As for mythology and history questions, I have a lot of those too, but they're kind of all over the place. May I?

Thanks Jen. Yeah today's been a bit blah, but I decided to take the day off work (a major contributor to the problem) and pull my head out of my a$$ and do some things I'd been procrastinating over for months. Feeling a lot better now. Until I get a sense for my style and evolving shape/size I'm gonna be buying cheap stuff from Target, but even that seems like a major victory...got myself two very nice dresses! ;D
News is somewhat old, but I was looking up some Tom McRae songs that were never recorded that I loved years ago, and it turns out he independently released a record with all the b-sides. I'm happy about this! But, I forgot how emo I used to be. =/ I am a much happier person than I ever was.
I'm also amazed that I was fully in denial about liking women. i mean, I would listen to these depressing ass love songs about heartbreak and unrequited love, with this girl, and only this girl, on my mind. But no, I liked guys. Yep.

"Mongrel" is an offensive term for people of mixed descent. You have every right to be offended by that. Speaking from an evolutionary standpoint, being mixed is a good thing since there is a greater diversity of alleles in the gene pool. If that makes sense.
In any case, I know plenty of people who know beyond a few generations. The reason I don't is because my family has a pattern of not wanting to talk to the previous generation for some very good reasons despite what people keep telling me.
Sorry. The past couple of days, people have been telling me that I "should" let my toxic family back into my life and it pisses me off.

I don't get my emotional panties in a wad over being called a mongrel, I understood her intent and it clearly wasn't offensive. But you are right for wanting to distance yourself from toxic family members. I had to do the same for a ten year period until they apologized and changed their attitudes. You don't need any more anxiety than you already have in your life.

I could Skype with you. I've been messing around with my voice for a long time, so I'm rather vocally fluid. I'm sure I could help you with masculine speaking patterns. I mean, I'm no professional, but I fancy myself a highly skilled amateur.
I'm just going to put out there, I'm very shy about what a call my 'true' femme voice. It sounds alright, I suppose, but I feel like an imposter when I'm doing it. So I usually use my 'false' femme voice, and I sound like a dude putting on a chick voice. It's part of my social anxiety and I really need to get over it...
Lol conversations on multiplayers are funny. One example:
Boy 1 "I have to get up at 6 which is like in 3 hours"
Boy 2 "Why?"
Boy 1"I have to take my girlfriend to school"
Boy 2 "Tell her to ride the bus"

I think I may have found a really cute dress for my Portia doll. I'm just waiting to see what the measurements are so it will fit her properly.
I missed the part of the listing where they showed pics of the dress with measurements. LOL It was late. Oh well. I ordered it and it should arrive soon. She is going to look SOOOO cute in this dress!! ;D

I tend to find women who identify as women but have a very masculine/androgynous appearance fascinating in general, but also just women who step out of the norm. There's one "Taboo" TV commercial in my head where there was a woman who had long hair but she was a really buff, bodybuilder and she had tattoos and piercings
everywhere; I guess they just give off a "I can do whatever the hell I want" vibe that I admire.

Meh...I got bored with Family Guy (and South Park) a long time ago. I will stick with the older, classic toons.
I need to stop thinking
I'm very hormonal these days. That episode of Family Guy actually made me cry.
Brian is dead? When did this happen? >.> I haven't seen Family Guy in a long time.

I'm glad he's dead. This is a character who vomits for thirty straight seconds after finding out his date was trans. Call me biased, but that's not an endearing character trait.
The Meg bashing has always confused me. It seems the only reason that people hate her is because the show says to hate her. She's never done anything terribly offensive, and is in fact one of the nicest characters on the show. It almost seems like there is a parallel to a situation we're currently going through which is poignant and slightly ironic, but I can't think of what it is.
Like a day or so ago.
I loved loved that character. Along with Stewie. Aah so good.
I'm supposed to help with a presentation on trans people, but I wasn't given much information on what I'm supposed to talk about there aside from a vague "something about your experiences in the medical community" and I don't know where I'm supposed to go.

It is a cartoon. the characters only do what the director tells them to do.
The entire show satires much of life, no one is exempt. Personally (after watching that particular scene on YT) I felt it was much more satire directed at people who are ignorant of TG people; both Brian and Stewie had stereotypical anti-trans responses...and it appears from the dialogue that Ida (the woman in question) passes quite well, in spite of Stewie's comment "Oh, you'd know it was her..." after Brian expressed concern of not being able to identify her.

Brian is the author avatar, though. Not only is he voiced by Seth, he is the voice of Seth. Everyone on the show, with the exception of Glenn, treats Ida as if she were still a man, or worse, as an abomination. What really gets me is that Seth thought that this was a good portrayal, that trans people would like it. I might be alone here, but I didn't like it. I saw this episode three days after I came out and it very nearly made me go back in the closet. Like I said, perhaps I'm biased, but that's just how I feel.
When I first started therapy (for child abuse issues) I noticed a LOT of shows (especially on FOX) made rape and molestation into a joke. Often, I'd have to leave the room because of it.
I stayed just long enough to let my kids know how those "jokes" made me feel, and after that they pretty much stopped watching those shows (at least, when I was there).
I really don't know what I'm saying here, no clear goal I guess. I understand that it hurts.
:(
Hmm. . . seems like I should've just started a topic over in Entertainment: Television
Anyways, I am thinking about how glad Iam that I don't have picky eaters in my life. . .
I'm thinking that there seems to be an awful lot of depression spoken about here, I can't say that it isn't valid for those who feel depressed. When my business went under and we lost everything including our home, and one of my son's was diagnosed with muscular dystrophy I was depressed for awhile, but for the most part I am thankful that I am probably too stupid to get depressed about much else. ;D
I'm thinking next Thanksgiving I'm cooking a turkey with all the fixings. All of my girl & women friends get to have fun in the kitchen. I want my nice apron on & get in there for some cooking myself.
Google image search has changed and not for the better. It frustrates me now. :(
I wish that I could find a way to improve the sound of these godawful phone videos. I have tried looking in my compy's control panel, tweaking things in the VLC player and nothing is working. This is really depressing. I wish someone could help me. I wish I wasn't so stupid.

New boss sucks, I get to work 8 hours, off for 7 work 8,and this is supposedly with 6 to 8 hour a day restrictions and weight restrictions. Even worse when I worked 8 hours before that within 1/2 hour of getting the new limits, without sleep.
Wonderful.
Our cat almost managed to screw up my T shot by ramming himself against the bedroom door while my fiancé was doing the injecting. Oh well, I still got the shot and a little scratch wound in my buttcheek from the needle.
I think I'll just be happy it's not Monday. I bet a pheasant would've crashed through the window in the middle of the injection.
Can't sleep. I have to get up in 1.5 hours, close to when I normally go to bed.

Why do they specify some ovens as self cleaning? It seems if you actually want the oven clean you still have to do some cleaning
My oven isn't a self cleaning oven, but if I want it clean I have to clean it myself :eusa_think: LOL... Hmmmm
So in reality all ovens are self cleaning, some are just a little easier to clean than others

I honestly don't think I look that great, I still see too much of the old me even after being fulltime for over 7 years. And compliments often tend to make me uncomfortable because of that.
We all know that is a common problem for some of the most beautiful and successful MtF transitioners on this site. But when you have your peer group constantly complementing you on your great looks then you have to come to the eventual conclusion that there is something terribly wrong with your own self perception. Just get over it Jaime and go with the flow will you girl? You make me want to scream!

Holy crap, I just tried reading a passage from the chest as opposed to the nose, and there is a huge difference! Problem is, I still hiss my s's which sounds really dang weird when I speak in my deeper voice.
I wish I could afford voice work. I do think I need it, even though my voice is deep enough to pass for male, it sounds very "off."
If you need voice work, so do I. I wish my voice was more feminine sounding. Yes, I never get gendered as male, but still, I think it needs help.

Considering working at another country. I'm applying for a job offer in Prague. It's a slim chance but I have pretty decent experience and I'd be working in english, plus the income doubles my current one, which would make transition funds easier.
Issues:
- Fully away from my friends
- I'll keep my transexuality hidden to everybody for years, only coming out outside of work
- I resist cold very badly
- Since I will be keeping my nationality, I will still have to deal with my original country for a name change.
- I don't know how I will continue therapy, or even get the hormones there.
Somebody definitely will know my secret, since I will need to talk into find a medical place that can deal with this (and speak english).

Several people who are close to me have contracted a bug that involves vomiting. Do not want. I have been washing my hands like a madman and carrying hand sanitizer with me...the other office has a can of Lysol and I am about ready to clean the knobs and keyboards. -_-
Etymology seems to have proved helpful as well. I read that the almond ingredient in my hand sanitizer is called "prunus dulcis." Dulcis, as far as I can guess, means "sweet", given that I know the word "dulcet" means sweet and/or soothing. I can't take any guesses at prunus that are educated enough. But I am very satisfied with myself.
I am also very curious as to how transparent I am to other people. As in, if they can see the motives of my actions or if they don't think anything of it. I think for those who have known me long enough it's very easy.
I'm going away next week on a business trip. I will miss my family very much :(

Last day of holidays before going back to work on Monday. 4 weeks was wonderful but perhaps too long especially with all the rain.
Have to pretend to be male again :(
Another day and more rain, totally gipped, can I get a refund? Wettest Sydney November in a very long time.
Got drenched on a ride today and bike and gear filthy. Spent an hour washing and cleaning it, lucky the new electrics hold up well in the wet.
Had a software update on it recently which made me laugh. It's still a bicycle!
I so love the effect that E is having on me.
Wondering how long I can go before getting a haircut?
It's at that nasty length in between at the moment.

Actually, this same person is buying some of my handmade woolen stuff to the tune of two hundred bucks, so there's that. I made her a hat months ago, and now her family want their own for Christmas, so I guess I'm doing a good job.
I expected that to happen, now I suppose my own hat is on backorder huh? ;D

It's my third year working with these horses and I've never actually ridden them because I'm too socially anxious to ever go over there when other people are there. :P They are great; they make a very different dynamic from livestock, which is still a little mystifying, but we get along well. I have a very effective method for handling sheep, but I've been with them every day since I can remember, and it's so ingrained I don't remember how it works.
So is all my stuff :P This 'paid work' thing gets in the way of doing things for myself.
It's ok hon you're off the hook, I picked up a couple of Marino wool beanies for winter, probably nowhere near as nice as what you make though!
Can't wait to get my wampum beads and (replica) eagle claws in the mail. :) New necklaces to be made.
If you only had enough cash for either FFS or SRS, only one, not being fully passable, and with no possibilities of having both, what would you choose?
Because I always said FFS, and now spending years with a salami scares me more...
I'd choose FFS because no-one knows what's between my sexy thighs, but my face is a dead giveaway! :)
It's noisy up in here and I likes it! ;D

You know, when I was playing GTA V, I actually tried to follow the road rules to see if it could help me in driving. The driving in GTA V is actually a good simulation to help learn. However, being GTA V and all, I couldn't follow the rules for long. :D

I just had my first driving lesson today with my friend. ^.^ It was totally illegal though, my permit expired a long time ago and my instructor was under 18, but at any rate it's fun. ;D Fricken scary though, Idk how I'm going to do this on a busy road. >.>
Also I hate turn signals. -.-" I kept forgetting about it. Also, wtf?? Right=Up and Left=Down??
Today was actually a bit fun for me too, though scary. I drove to my grandma's place in a little town and my fater wanted me to drive around her block 2 or 3 times. I rarely go to that little town so with my clueless self, I ended up driving on the main road a few miles off with the occasional cop driving by. How I made it back without crashing, dieing, scraping something, or getting pulled over I have no idea. Gosh I'm so glad I didn't get pulled over. That would have been bad just driving on a permit. >.> I'm doubly glad that this was in a small town so not too many cars were around. Had it been on a busy road, I would have been royaly screwed.
I am thinking about telling my best friend and my family about my condition as MtF.
I was writing a letter...until now it is with 7 pages!
I cannot live this way anymore. I need to tell someone and take this out of my head or I will die!

Good luck
I am confused. I was reading this thing written by some pagans where they were vehemently against (to the point of death threats) a group of other pagans. They compared them to Satanists while at the same time condemning them for (supposedly) confusing the being(s) they worship with the Christian devil. Ok... hold on. So these people are saying that the being(s) these people worship are not Satan, yet they are comparing them to Satanists. While talking about a pagan religion. Am I the only one who sees a problem here?

That's my cat, he tries to inflict the same amout of sadism on everyone, including my chihuahua puppies. But then they overwhelm him by licking his face to death and he runs away. >.<
Thank God I only have these early mornings for one more week. Unless my next job requires them (which I'm going to try to avoid). I didn't get any sleep because my mind was full of worries and sadness, and now all I want to do is punch something in the face because almost everyone hates early mornings. Yet we still have them.
Now Trista got me missing having chihuahua pups.

Cats are one of the few animals besides humans who understand spite. Unlike dogs, cats don't
need you. They're all, "Screw you, Thumbs! I got this!" So if a cat loves you, you know that love is real. That's why I love cats.

I saw a depiction of an FtM in a major motion picture. Unfortunately, he was a deciptive serial killer/rapist. It's called "Beyond the Valley of the Dolls", and it's written by Roger Ebert. Seriously? Roger mother-humping Ebert? My gods, is there anyone in Hollywood who realizes that we're actual people?

There are a few. Then again, if a trans person is depicted in fiction, there tends to be a lot of controversy even in the trans community. I think we're still at a point where trans characters are expected to represent the entire trans community. I hope one day individuals will be seen as individuals and not representatives of an entire, diverse group.
I am wondering if I can translate my thoughts into coherent, english words. I'll give it a shot. I am thinking about this guy I have a crush on. I want to talk about this guy and this crush, but don't want to seem like a teenage girl. For the past few days, I've felt pretty crappy about it. For one, it would never work since he's straight and I'm a guy. I worry that he would be embarrassed if he were to find out. For that matter, I think the chances of anyone even not minding that someone like me has a crush on them is slim to none. I also feel ashamed of being trans, ashamed of being attracted to another man, and worried that I will be seen as someone I'm not because of it.
But today, I feel good about it. I mean, it's still as hopeless, but I couldn't help but feel really happy to see him today. It's been a long time since I genuinely felt this way and, I've got to admit, it feels good. For now, anyway.
Also, part of the shame I feel towards myself is because, in media, queer guys tend to be rather stock characters none of which I can really relate to. The gay men in my community tend to like Cher and pop music. I like metal and industrial. I like monsters and gore and, well, that doesn't seem to mesh with what people associate with gay and bi people. So I decided to see if there were any others like me out there. It seems like a dumb question, but... yeah, it's a dumb question. I looked anyway. Apparently, I am not an anomaly. That makes me feel a bit better about it.
(No offense is meant towards anyone trans and/or not straight. For some reason, even though I know it's illogical, I have these feelings of shame towards myself, but they are only towards myself.)
Also, I'm sick of the whole effeminate OR masculine thing. As if I can't be both. I don't want to be labelled as either/or.

So what Edge, good post! I'm glad you got it off your chest and it's not weird, we are all people, all different and diverse, all have our own feelings, likes and dislikes and none of us come out of the exact same cookie cutter mold although some would prefer to think so. Just be you, be real and enjoy your life. Who knows, that guy may just like the sox off of you and you can drop all your labels and just enjoy for a change.

Thanks. Yeah I know. I just get these weird ideas in my head. I wish he could like me, but sadly, I don't think that's likely. At least he seemed happy to see me today and initiated a conversation with me. Most people don't. The fact still remains that he's straight though. And right now, I have an urge to ramble about him. :P

Indeed. When it's 99% of all characters, I think we have a right to be offended. Not unlike early depictions of black people. Some day, hopefully, we'll all look back at these days and laugh.

Eh, do what you want. You don't have to be a stereotype. Anyway, maybe you should ask him. Maybe... hmm, how to put this... maybe he's not as straight as he seems. Plenty of people who are bi just stay in het relationships as a defense against homophobia. You never know unless you try.

It's alright to have crushes Edge.. don't punch me but I think it's adooorable! ;D Just don't give yourself a hard time for your feelings working the way they do.
I am so worn out after a loooong day at work, running back and forth between therapists, specialists, more work.. I got cat food though! Lots of cat food. And I got pizza and a new work uniform. I dare say I look smashing in it. The uniform, not the pizza.
I can relate sometimes, Edge...I get little crushes that I feel ashamed of. Like there was one girl, and ugh, I just hated having feelings for her because I thought all sorts of things about myself.
I'm also thinking about how as people get older, they seem so much happier and more content and calm. Like it really seems as though life gets easier as you age. It makes a part of me feel like "I WANT TO GET THERE NOW." But I'm not there lol. It's almost reassuring though. Like, if I let myself live a full life, if I don't give up, one day it's going to be easier and make just a bit more sense. And then it makes me sad for the people who for whatever reason didn't get to live full lives because they never got to reach that place.
I also had a dream that was kind of spiritual and weird and stuff.

How long do you have to be on HRT for that to happen? I'm nearing three months and I've still got big stinky guy farts.

Every single time I want to listen to an Elton John song on Youtube, All I see in the comments are a bunch of homophobic douchebags. Jeez....leave that crap elsewhere and talk about the music for once.
Because of Miss Bungle this is now stuck in my head.

Hmm, he was a good-looking guy in the early 70's.
get yogurt or not eat at all. . . ? hmmm. . . tough decision. . .
I am also thinking about someone I knew who'll be going into sentencing in 2 weeks for an investment scheme he was involved in. He should've had a cut if he knew he'd possibly get in serious trouble if caught.
My mom just sent me this poem:
Quote
Come, all you who are not satisfied
as ruler in a lone, wallpapered room
full of mute birds, and flowers that falsely bloom,
and closets choked with dreams that long ago died!
Come, let us sweep the old streets--like a bride;
sweep out dead leaves with a relentless broom;
prepare for Spring, as though he were our groom
for whose light footstep eagerly we bide.
We'll sweep out shadows, where the rats long fed;
sweep out our shame--and in its place we'll make
a bower for love, a splendid marriage-bed
fragrant with flowers aquiver for the Spring.
And when he comes, our murdered dreams shall wake;
and when he comes, all the mute birds shall sing.
I don't know how she interpreted it, but it reads to me like it's about self-acceptance and coming out, learning to love yourself, that sorta thing. I haven't come out to my family yet, but I've been getting weird signals lately like they already know. Maybe I'm not the actor I thought I was!
The last time I saw my mom, she gave me a random big hug and told me I'm her "new hero." I didn't know what that meant. Now this poem.
Hmm... :eusa_think:
That certainly sounds like a good potential at least Jillian.. families like that are the best! When I came out to my grandmother, she was just like "meh knew it already", lit a cigarette and got into her car lol.
The convo with naughty Shaina and the cuteness and all that got me giggling so hard I forgot what I was originally thinking.

Yeah, I've known people like that. The way I see it there are two types of music: Music I like and Music I don't. Actually, it's more like bands than genres. I used to say: I don't like "certain genre" but I can't even do that anymore. I can find something from pretty much any style and enjoy it. Sure, that leaves a lot of stuff that bores me but that is the way it goes.
Maybe I should invent some new metal genres?
Progressive jazz fusion trance power metal?
Death stoner bluegrass neo-NWOBHM?
Blues thrash polka ska crossover black metal?
No?
If full meals came in tablet form and all you had to do is pop a pill and drink a glass of water would it be beneficial to people on a busy schedule?
Or would it create an even larger obese population because people were to anxious to wait for that full feeling to hit and popped too many meal pills?
Would some people actually explode from over indulgence? :o

Depends if the pill made me feel full or not. If I knew I could wait and the pill would satisfy me, I'd wait. But if it was just a pill and only had nutrients, no satiety factor, yeah, I'd probably die loll.

Good thing I realized tomorrow's the Independence Day which means every place is closed, counting out a couple shops. Gotta get some necessities from the store so we won't be starving or anything.

From what I can see lately they already are without the food pills. I'm beginning to feel that I'll eventually be considered tiny and petite the way the whole population is exploding into XXL sizes.
I think I have everything I need to know about my permit test, mostly. I was focusing on my manual on right-of-way laws and everything else should just be common sense I hope. Mmm, I've passed it before and I'll pass it again, hopefully this time I get it right the first time. >.<
Oh and I got this cute little GPS app on my phone, Waze. :D (I say it's cute because it has a little cartoon cloud car thing on it :3) I'm sure this'll be incredibly useful for finding the endo that woman on here told me about. ^.^ That or Google Maps, which I find weird.
It is 1:00 pm but Malachite has just taken some night time NyQuill. I expect to be out of it really soon. I wish I could go to my young nephew's play he has tonight but I'm just too sick. Perhaps its for the best. I wouldn't want to infect anyone, especially the young kids, though they don't seem to have a problem wanting to infect me. I hate being sick. :(

I injected this morning so I'm down from my hideous trough days but now I'm exhausted and traumatized and want to climb in a hole to recover, so I'm not actually much more useful than I was then.
That sucks Liam, you must have some medical condition that goes beyond just hormonal ups and downs. Perhaps a trip to see a knowledgable MD or internist to find out what it is and how to manage it?
I don't understand the code I've been staring at for the last hour ... that must mean it works due to some kind of dark magic
Sometimes I hope that people who are super-transphobes get reincarnated as trans* in the next life. Then I realize that if that's what happens, then I was probably a super-transphobe in a previous life. If that's so, then I sincerely apologize. Being trans sucks, and it shouldn't happen to anyone.
For some reason, today I have more determination to be the person I want to be. I'm going to slip up a few times, but I am going to do it. Nothing will stand in my way. Not even me.

I think I read somewhere that in Thailand some people think we're the reincarnation of women who broke the hearts of many men and are being punished for it or whatever. Kinda sounds BS-y (in that I doubt most Thai people have thought of it), I don't think the Thai side of my family would buy it.
Personally I think I'm the reincarnation of my mother's last intentional miscarriage come to punish her. ^.^

I've been told that many Thai people believe we were lecherous, Quagmire type men. Apparently, that's why trans people are more accepted in Thailand. I don't know, I've never spoken to a native Thai person.

He was an angry young Marxist when he was imprisoned but something happened to him in during those long years in prison, he had some kind of spiritual epiphany because when he emerged and later became President of SA he could have been even angrier and vicious, vindicating himself and his people against the white apartheid crowd, but instead he emerged a man of peace and championed healing and forgiveness. I believe that was his biggest accomplishment.

I feel you. When you've been depressed for so long, it's VERY hard to think that it can get better because you've been used to the crap for so long. It's almost like you can't believe you can be happy because you're used to being so sad that that sadness has become part of you. It's a strange feeling but you'll find your happiness eventually.

That's likely and pretty common. There's also the fear that you'll get your hopes up, but something will go wrong. Take the risk. It's worth it.
I'm wondering if liking "the growly thing" more in metal is a phase or a little more permanent. I wonder why I am liking it more.
Everything's closed today due to national festivity and I need to find something at home that can be used to bind my chest before tomorrow at 13:00. I am in the kind of situation where people are going to notice, specially whoever has not seen me in more than a year.

I was one of those growly singers back in the 90s. I've never lost my love for that style. I think once you devolop a taste for it, it no longer sounds to you however it sounds to people who are put off by it. It'd be hard to get back to that place of not being able to "hear" it, I'd imagine.
Personally I love the bands that mix it up. It's like any heavy sound -- know when to use it and when not to.
This song is a great example of that:

Yep. I like all three of their official CD's. The demos can be hit or miss, though. Not that I am picky about production values. I've heard stuff recorded on boomboxes and cheap tape players that blew my mind. I've also heard recordings that were made in 72 track studios that were completely hollow and soulless.

If hair replacement for transwomen involves plugs, rugs or drugs, does hair removal require razors, lasers and tasers?
BTW, Jillian and Miss Bungle- I think Opeth is AWESOME! I recently saw them at a tiny venue on the Sunset Strip along with Katatonia from the VIP table next to theirs. They played a lot of older material this time with the death growls. I didn't think Mikael still had it in him after the last tour.

Opeth is all right. I've only been to a handful of live shows so I could get an idea of how that would have been. It's pretty awesome watching a band that you really like live. But then again, I've been to a couple of smaller shows where I've discovered some really cool local bands. The bad part is when they break up a few months later.

I need to run errands tomorrow at a store that is within walking distance. However, it's a half hour walk. My son usually rides in the stroller, but one of the wheels is bent and I'm afraid of it falling off mid-walk.
I am thinking about how I may have confused someone today. He's from India and didn't know what Native Americans were, so while briefly explaining things I accidently said "Indians," meaning Native Americans, at one point while telling him that a lot got killed and were forced to move and such. So, since he didn't know what Native Americans were, he therefore likely doesn't know that Native Americans are often called Indians, so I am wondering if he's just all confused thinking that the Colonists and later the American government were going around oppressing people from India.

Shifting my interest from OB nursing into ER/trauma nursing. I think I could do well in it, it sounds so exciting. My concerns however would be 1) I don't have very good communication skills, 2) Making life and death decisions on my own sounds scary, 3) There's inevidably going to be some heart-breaking times (with all nursing). But maybe I would be better suited to it than something slower paced.

Lol back when i worked at subway I had this grown man yell at me because he wanted the "Christmas cup". It was October and I had no clue what he was talking about. He kept.yelling his wife looked like she was about to die. I just walked off and helped other people.
The next day I realized that the cup used in the display to show what a large was had the Christmas coca cola polar bears on it. Lol that cup was a few years old. :laugh:

Shifting my interest from OB nursing into ER/trauma nursing. I think I could do well in it, it sounds so exciting. My concerns however would be 1) I don't have very good communication skills, 2) Making life and death decisions on my own sounds scary, 3) There's inevidably going to be some heart-breaking times (with all nursing). But maybe I would be better suited to it than something slower paced.
A co-worker's wife was a neo-natal intensive care nurse for several years. Many nurses can't take it for that long. But your communication skills need to be mostly non-verbal.

Snuggled under the duvet for a while, really helped lol. The conversation above about weird customers reminds me of this thread about bad advice given by pet shop employees once. People recommend the weirdest things. :p Thankfully I don't have many weird customers except for this one super old dement woman who walks in and describes this calendar she really wants to buy, but it's been years since it came out. She gets so surprised every time I tell her I know which one she's talking about and just as sad every time I tell her they stopped producing it, poor thing. She's super cute.
AH! How exciting!

I'm wondering why all the hostility when someones opinion is just as valid as anyone else's. If one feels the FTM bottom surgery isn't good for the money, they are welcome to feel that way. If you don't agree, you are welcome to feel that way also.
Some people like carrots, some don't. Either way, the opinion is valid. Those who think it is an insult really need to check their emotions as we all do when disagreeing with another opinion.
I see one bottom surgery thread and no hostility. Are you referencing something from a non-public thread?

I don't know why some people make such a big deal about ketchup on hotdogs. Well I like ketchup on my hotdogs if I pay money for a hotdog, it's going to have ketchup on it and if the owner of the establishment doesn't like that, then I will find somewhere else to buy my hotdog.
I could really go for a Philly Cheesesteak right now though. The last time I had one was in Feb. at Hooters.

We all enjoyed eavesdropping on you and Caleb's romance, seeing the great graphics you have created and were pleased for you when you scored a job after being unemployed for so long which is hard to do once you're out of the loop for an extended period.

I think that people use public figures as proxies for people in their lives. It's a strategy for indirectly sharing criticisms.
Unfortunately, the public figures get thrown under the bus in the process.

In other news, I was scrolling down my Facebook page when I came across this gem:
QuoteNessa just said she wishes she had a beard when she's a daddy.
And it is, of course, filled with comments like "Ohoho, silly girl! Well, she'll learn the difference when she grows up."
I'm sitting here thinking,
Oh no... oh... oh... noooo...So I posted "You may want to keep an eye on that kid. She might be serious. I know quite a few guys who started as girls."
What do you guys think, was that a good idea? I just don't know... I want to help young people, but I feel like that kind of advice coming from a "known transsexual", as I am, may have made things worse... Like, before it was a joke, a cute little kid thing, but now they might be thinking "Oh no, we better get her more Barbies and burn everything in the house that's colored blue."
I feel like any time I try to help someone, they end up worse off than if I just left them alone.
Well this is odd.
For the last few years we haven't had decent snow until past New Year's and now we have a nice winter landscape going on already at this point.
And quite crispy temperatures, too. It's -14C (or 6,8F) where I live and it seems like there's no wind at all. The perfect winter day. <3
So my young nephew has picked up a tease he probably learned from school. I wear glasses, but yesterday me was saying "aha you can't see, that's why you have four eyes".
Obviously the best thing to do in that situation would have been to chastize him verbally, and my mother took care of that, but how does Malachite respond? Somewhere a long the lines of.....
"Well, your vision is going to get worse when you get older so you're going to have to wear glasses too eventually."
The little guy always has to ask his grammy if I'm telling the truth by repeating my statement into a question and she replies "Yeah".
Poor little guy pauses for a minute, and then he talks about how he is young so he won't get bad vision. I think it's cute how invincible he think he is. I was the same way. I love my little nephew. He's a good kid and a joy to be around. I know he wouldn't have came up with something like that by himself. Was I in the wrong for crushing his dream of invincibility, even if for a split second? Yup, I sure was wrong. Am I going to do it again in the future if I see fit? Without hesitation.

Hard to say, I think it depends on the people you said it to. If they're like really religious and afraid of people "catching the queer" (I couldn't think of a better way to put this), they might be like "omg bring on the Barbies." But, chances are, they might just get the "oh, not MY precious baby child" syndrome. I don't think your help was misplaced, but it is hard to know how they will take it.

Lol Malachite's example is pretty tame to my mom. One time I told her I was scared that someone would break into the house and kill me while I slept, and then I wouldn't know I died. She said "oh sweetie, someone like that would wake you up before they kill you because they'd want to see you suffer." Lmao.
Come to think of it I don't think she said "suffer", I think she said "they'd want to see your fear" or pain or something like that. But same idea.

I used to be a chimney sweep and some of the stuff I did then was scary, can't imagine how bad I would react to that.
Scary alright! I was doing hailstorm claims only two stories up on 8/12 pitch composition roofs in St. Louis a dozen years ago and wondered to myself how the heck did I ever jump out of airplanes when I was younger? I was thinking that if I had sat down on those slick roofs they'd have to extract me with a helicopter. I think when we're young like Malachite was saying, that we assume that we're impervious to anything bad happening to us, as we mature and look around we start to consider our mortality and common sense sets in. (well maybe in some!)

Debating if I should start using the phase "if you live long enough" when refering to future actions people will or may encounter at the end of sentences. I learned this from my father. He would start incorporating "if you live long enough" in sentences. It's depressing but true. Now I'm tempted to tell people "oh you will/probably will (insert action) if you live long enough." I wonder if that will be offending to people.

I'm thinking about shoes again and starting HRT next year with the pellet method. I'm thinking of taking one step at a time. I'm thinking of some new yoga positions. I'm thinking of eating less. Did I mention shoes?
For our profile picture, can we use an animated GIF? That would be sweet.

Yeah, I agree- animated GIFs can be really annoying.

Well, you do have a point there. It is more than obvious this time of the year. There's also all of that fake "Peace & Good will" crap too. It's like "What about the rest of the year?", ya know?
I think we should extend the Holiday spirit to include other months. Ads? Whatever. There are good ads for good products, good ads for bad products, bad ads for good products, and those horrible ads for horrible products. I'm okay with companies trying to get me to buy something. On the other hand I rarely do. I don't think I'm influenced by ads. I'm for capitalism and against greed.

Yup. I need to buy a man suit for an interview on monday. Glad I don't have enough breast, since I'm not risking employment by going in female mode with my current face.
I'm going to Prague. And needless to say, working in man mode after being full time it's going to be a major pain. At least until I can guarantee the job conditions and the name change.
i feel worthless. mom is sick and i'm being of no use. i can't cook, wash or clean. i couldn't bring myself to learn them over the past few years because of the dysphoria. yeah i know they're not necessarily women's jobs, but engaging in them is a nightmare. i can't bring myself to even make a tea. and now mom is sick, and still she does all the housework cos there's noone else to do them. and me, her 18yr old 'daughter' is sitting and doing nothing to help. she doesn't even ask me to help out. i feel so worthless :(
You need to do those things. Get your arse in gear. See a therapist. Exercise. Move.
I hate it when people I dislike want to talk about their life problems over email. What was I thinking giving him my email anyway. ::)
Okay okay.. I'll leave the account alone.
So I've had 3 people ask me if I was going to release a model kit of my fighter. It's good enough that Rick Sternbach said, had there been another series after Voyager set in the same era or maybe 15 years later, that fighter could have been seen on TV. So fan interest is very high.
I now have access to the gym at work. The physical therapist who was doing the orientation said "Since you're female, you wont bulk up like the guys. unless you take steroids., after I told him what I was hoping to accomplish." Inwardly, I could only giggle and think, " Yea, I bulked up before transition, lol."
I'm thinking I'm only now appreciating the Orlando quote in Keaira's sig after seeing the movie. Wonderful! :D

While looking through some pics on this pc, so I could put one back up, I came across a long video I made just following my dog around the living room. He was playing with a plastic peanut butter container I had cut in half so he could get at the last of it. I really miss the little guy. Its been depressing coming home since he's been gone.
Understood! (hugs)
Writing another post on this site I realised I am learning the difference between being perfectly passable and looking how I want. Pre-transition I just wanted to pass and to live as a girl. Now I definitely have that, I'm even lucky, yet I still manage to be ungrateful and unendingly self-conscious. I wish I would just get over that. >:(

These days I just roll my eyes and don't worry about it.
Came home to make pizza. My mother is upset, I ate the peanut butter. It isn't like I can't get more, I just didn't have money or peanut butter at the time. she also wants to go to church in another town and hour away at 6 am, when I usually go to bed. She is mad at me for not doing so every Sunday. Yet she complains that the neighbors mow the grass at 2 pm when she is sleeping.
Oi! I knew this was a bad idea. Maybe in a month I can move out. Money gods willing.

Thanks Marie, I needed that smiley! See I'm hoping all of this self-doubt eventually goes away. I know I am a woman of trans origins, but really I feel like a normal person in a trans persons body...meaning I feel so pre-occupied with being trans. I should just let it go and live but I think maybe my early transition made me rather paranoid about "people knowing", and now after years of that I've just gone round the bend. Also the hormones sure don't help my sanity I just..agh i can just be such a ridiculous girl in the worst ways.
Guess it's too easy for us to focus on our flaws and forget what we have.
LordKAT: After what I just wrote my advice is to find the good in the bad and try to enjoy your mother until you can get the heck out. Oh and buy more peanut butter! :)
Definitely buying more peanut butter. I knew it was to be temporary and that living with her was not going to be easy. It was better than freezing to death.
I think that I should buy a camera,,,my laptops web cam sucks and I d like to document changes with hrt ,,,soooooooooooo

I got a can of Manwich...I was so excited to eat it, I had even heated it up and smelled it. But then my dad wanted to add some meat to it. Well, it was meat that had been sitting out for quite some time last night whuch was bad enough, but he broke it up with his hands which he never washes (even after using the bathroom) sooo. Yeah. I didn't eat it. I snuck it to the dog. I'm so sad, I was so excited for it lol.

Gross, I couldn't blame you!
I know lol. There is another can upstairs. When I get the chance I will steal it and hide it in my room, and then when I can cook it alone, I will.

I hate my town. I hate my life. I hate having people around who depress the hell out of me. I hate not being able to meet people or go anywhere or connect with people in any real way. No wonder I spend so much time immersing myself in fictional literary worlds (and other fictional mediums). Life is so friggin depressing, what's the point of dealing with the reality of how much it sucks?

There is a song that I would like if it weren't for the words. It's very anti-human due to environmental problems and war told from the view of a wolf, a raven, and them. They
are humans and are just as guilty as every other person of wrecking the environment (how they travel, what goes into making and distributing their music, everything everyone else does), but in the song, they claim to be different and are very hostile toward everyone who is, in reality, exactly like them. In the raven part, they also claim that humans are "mutant monkeys." Humans are great apes, not monkeys and it would be pretty hypocritical for any other species to look down on another for having mutations. They then claim that humans are "strangers here" when humans are about as strange as every other animal. Look, I'm all for being better toward the environment and stuff like that, but hypocrisy, ignorance, and hostility won't help anything or anyone. Actually doing something to help the environment will.

I'm scared.that this is a passing thing, that I'll get "better" when the fog of depression clears. I'm thankful for good friends that support and help me. I'm scared that my business will never get off the ground. I miss my ex-wife, despite the abuse and toxicity. I fear the future and want to dwell in the present, where its safe. I'm happy to have found y'all. I don't want to be alone anymore but can't trust anyone enough to be together. I wish I was strong enough to go to a support group and not worry about what people will think of me.

At least I'm enjoying the art trades so far, hrrrr.
I should have gone shopping for underwear today. 30% off but I felt too tired so skipped it. Had a good old fashioned raid through my closet searching for clothes for Christmas, usually I change between like 3 tshirts and my job jumper but after some serious digging I found other clothes. And a hungry tarantula. Poor girl, she was actually thirsty too. Also thinking I should find someone to look after my fish until I come back from my girlfriend, guess it'll be belly up after two weeks of hunger haha.
Also thinking my mother is the sweetest. Insta-forces me home when I am having a hard time. Parenting, you're doing it right.

My dad is going to get a time share in Florida whenever I book my top surgery. So that cuts off the hotel cost...at least $1000 less I have to save now. That's good. Meanwhile my mother wants him to pay for my youngest brother to continue playing soccer after age 18 (it costs them two of my surgeries each year). He says he isn't going to do it, and I actually believe him on that one because he is using his retirement fund on it. It's ridiculous because I never had a hobby even *close* to that expensive and I pay for most things by myself. I can't wait until precious babykins has to face the world without mommy.
I should be marking but instead I am applying for jobs.

Yes, this weirdo who i go to school with and take the rail with has been following me, emailing me, and calling/texting me for the past 3 weeks. It wasn't much at first, but its been getting worse this past week. I showed my marine friend (who also goes to school with me) my stalkers photo on linked-in and he said "oh I know that guy, he's completely nuts." His actions though don't actually legally constitute stalking, just annoying and creepy, so I can't really do anything yet. Though I am trying to find a way to save all his text messages as future evidence just in case he gets worse.

No that was the B-ball team! I'm not a big sports buff, but when a team gets really exciting like this one that just beat the NY Giants 23 - 0 on their own turf I start to get interested.
Sonics, Seahawks... got it.
I used to pay close attention to baseball and hockey and less consistent attention to the other sports. Now, I rarely have any clue what's going on, with the exception of CFL football, which is impossible to avoid in Rider Nation (Saskatchewan).
Vikes won, just a little late to do much good. next year maybe.
Well this is the first time I've vacuumed without a shirt on...
Explanation: I got most likely T-related itch on my back and shirt doesn't help it one bit.

Seems like there are a lot of nerve endings in the back that itch as a result of HRT, this is a common complaint.

My mother was confused the other day when she saw me come out of the barn shirtless and shoeless, trekking through a foot and a half of snow. Well, I'd been putting primer on some boards and I didn't want any on my clothes, now did I.
She was not aware of your top surgery?
or
She was wondering why her offspring was walking barefoot in the snow?
Both questions would be cause for a mom's confusion! :D :D
Agh, my fiancé is now apparently sick (regular flu most likely) and according to our plans and agreements she was supposed to wash the floors since I vacuumed them. Well, I guess it's me who does that as well. @_@
I know falling ill is a no can do situation but I have still done most of the holiday cleaning for this year and I'm so gonna hold that up against her if she's gonna start giving me s*it about something in the future.
I've been in this city for four winters now and I still feel like laughing whenever people complain about the "cold." It's not even minus twenty yet.
Remember that cold is very relative. I freeze much more in -5 degrees here than I did in -40 degrees where I used to live.
I am thinking that I should begin packing.. so I'm writing a list about what I need to bring! England here I come.. and Wales.. eeeeee

You'll have a great time! ;D
I swear, once I have my surgery paid for and done, I'm going to actually do stuff for myself like go cool places.
I'm thinking about all the different versions of stories in Norse mythology and being frustrated because it's all confusing.

So what you are saying here is that even FtM's can retain that formerly female propensity to hold a grudge indefinitely for future use and be vindictive as hell when the time comes huh? Sheesh!! :D ;D I'm getting such an education here!

She just sometimes needs an incentive to get some things done, especially when only I benefit from them. ;)
Add the fact that I absolutely despise cleaning so ending up doing majorit of it myself is a huge no-no. :D

I found new shoes today and even if they don't exactly look like winter shoes, I was surprised how good traction they have on slippery surface.
I also realized that I have more shoes than my fiancé. I think she can count her pairs with one hand's fingers and I need two. What went wrong?

No, just our location means that temps can go up and down quite a bit. it'll cool off down to the 50's for a few days then into the 70's this weekend. Many times we can go short sleeved in January too.

I'm going to ask my mom to take me to do a big Goodwill haul I think...just give a lot of stuff away so there's breathing room in my bedroom.

my boobs have been itchy for almost a week now, its annoying. And I have learned that hell is itchy boobs in a padded bra while out in public. You cant scratch the itch, no matter how much you want to.
I hope it means mine are growing again.
Im thinking that I want to kill my neighbours...
they leave their air condition up all night, and it makes a noise like a damn helicopter!

My nephew has never had a Hershey's Chocolate Sunday Pie. I didn't expect him to have tried one as his parents don't seem to go to Burger King often.

No matter what, I'm not going out again. I still can hear the wind howling on the windows, and the fact that I need to remove body hair and wash my head is a major "do not want". I just want to bury myself in a blanked and watch anime or old cartoons...
Tomorrow I'll get the last document I need to get my gender marker changed and I'm gonna take care of that this Friday, so I might receive quite nice Christmas present this year. ;D

I wrote someone an academic reference today. THE PRESSURE IS TOO MUCH. lol. I mean, someone's future could potentially hinge on my words. If my words have much weight. Like my name is actually on something. Making a recommendation. Can they trust my judgment? omg.
Anyway, if I'm going to be making references I should act like a responsible academic and use this time to work on my thesis, not waste time on Susan's. :police:
I wish there was a cure for autism. Many aspie autists say they wouldn't want one. I used to say that too and i meant it, but now that i've had a major relapse behaviorwise, i wish that there was anything to release me from it. I didn't remember it being that bad. I suppressed my memories of how bad i felt. I suppressed my earliest memories of my chronic depression caused by not being normal. I did not build a mask though, i just became mostly normal, just a NORMAL lone wolf. Now, i am sensitive to touch again, my emotions are running wild, my anxiety is up to eleven again and i am loathing myself for everything again.
Do I clean, put up the tree, or make a 3D model. Cleaning shouldn't take long, but the tree will take hours, modeling..I'm suddenly feeling lazy. Maybe I'll just take a nap instead

I can't believe Christmas is next week. I guess over the last couple of years I have been so wrapped up in the stress of my future transition and the finances associated with that, dysphoria, the possibile backlash from my family, etc. that it just catches me off guard. If things go my way and I actually get on the ball with my transition, then this should be the last Christmas with "guarenteed peace". -sigh-

Sometimes, I think I would like to have a roommate. It'd allow me to actually save money and be a big plus if they cooked, lol.
But then too, I like being able to do my own thing without worrying about someone else, can walk around the house half naked, never close the bathroom door, leave my underthings to dry in the downstairs bathroom, etc.

Yeah, and the echo is good with a frying pan!
I'm thinking that its funny the way some cashiers try to explain something over the phone when they call for help, you can ask them the same question and they say one thing, but when you actually go there in person to look at the transactions, it turns out something different. But at least if I got it right now, she won't be short when she does her till tonight. Gave me a chance to caution her against setting a prepay while someone was already pumping though. I've seen too many cashiers screw up that way and it can cost us money when it happens.
I'm thinking that every time I see the thread about feet getting a person down, that I'm glad the feet aren't pulling them up or they would be upside down.

Oftentimes, I wonder how many people (including myself) in my generation will live to old age when it seems like things in world are only getting worse with all of the lunatics, shootings, murders, etc. It almost seems impossible and I don't even want to fathom what it will be like for my young niece and nephew's generation.

I also think about that sometimes. (Especially since I became an Aunt a couple of years ago) But I try not to think about it too much. I already went down that road several years ago. In addition to stressing over my own gender issues, it made me a total wreck. I'm not one to bury my head in the sand, but at the same time, I don't need to drive myself insane worrying about things that are beyond my control.
I'm more scared of fracking cars than murderers and stuff. It's so damn easy to get in a wreck or get run over. >.<

I can understand that. Stressing over it day and night isn't healthy at all, but at the same time, I am curious as to what the future holds. At this rate, we all might just be cavemen and cavewomen running around with clubs 20 years from now.
@ Trista same here. Too many cars on the road! I'm actually more scared of than that being murdered.

I'm more scared of fracking cars than murderers and stuff. It's so damn easy to get in a wreck or get run over. >.<
My mom is always worried that I am going to get run over when I am out walking. But I always assume that all of the drivers are not paying any attention at all so that helps to keep me safe. You know what I am truly worried about when I am walking? Walking somewhere that doesn't have a sidewalk and twisting my ankle in a friggin rabbit, mole, whatever hole. You never see them until your foot gets caught in it and BAM!! down you go. I've damn near broken my ankle a few times because of this.
I'm thinking it's time to shave. I don't have a razor here though, forgot to bring it with me.

Thinking I need to join a crew for GTA V onine so I can get that shotgun and earn more xp. I need to really sit down and take some time to explore different PS3 crews and which ones I feel would meet my needs and vice versa. The ironic problem with that is that I'm too busy playing GTA V Online to focus on it lol!
Now I'm thinking about trigger warnings. I understand why trigger warnings are needed for some topics but honestly, it can get very tedious trying to decide what may trigger someone and when it comes down to it, ANYTHING can be a trigger. I need to go back and reread the TOS but I wonder if it would be allowable to just have a trigger warning in my signature saying "WARNING: EVERYTHING I post may contain a trigger. If you feel uncomfortable with this then please don't read any of my posts and skip over me. Thank you for understanding." That way, I'm covered and I wouldn't have to sort out what posts needs trigger warnings. I'm sure after 11,000 + posts many will see it.
This reminds me of a time in 6th grade where I had to work with percentages in math class and our teach said always make sure to put the percentage sign at the end of the number but I didn't feel like it so I put a percentage sign at the top left corner to represent that all answers should have a % at the end and when she saw it she said something along the lines of "I've never seen a percentage sign that represents ALL of them....stop being lazy and write it out." LOL
Woah... Thats quite a thought! I too enjoy GTA V online. I dont get to play it enough to really get into it deep but add me sometime and maybe we can tear up the town. My PSN is BugzyBunny.
Also, im thinking i should go to bed, but its so late/early that i know i wont sleep much cuz everybody will be up in an hour or so

I'm thinking that its funny the way some cashiers try to explain something over the phone when they call for help, you can ask them the same question and they say one thing, but when you actually go there in person to look at the transactions, it turns out something different. But at least if I got it right now, she won't be short when she does her till tonight. Gave me a chance to caution her against setting a prepay while someone was already pumping though. I've seen too many cashiers screw up that way and it can cost us money when it happens.
I was standing in a line of people waiting patiently as the cashier was having some difficulty replacing the paper roll in the Zon machine. She looked up and became rattled as all these hostile eyes were staring at her. I could feel her anxiety and it only made her fumble all the more. Finally this jerk guy about three people ahead of me started getting mouthy toward her and I blew up and in a loud voice said,
"Shut up jerkoff!" then in a calmer tone told the girl not to worry, she was doing just fine and that we'll all be patient. By the time I made it to the counter to pay for my gas and other purchases I thought she would spring over that counter and kiss me, she was so thrilled to have an advocate. Retail can be tough on employees too, we need to be considerate.

Oh, last night, she ended up ok, although called me one more time because she was $200 off in lottery, but it ended up being the girl the night before writing down the number without a 1 in front of it, so it was 10 $20 tickets off by appearances, but in reality, it was fine.
All of our things for the register, telecheck, lottery and phone pins are simple drop ins and close the lid, no muss, no fuss.
We do have one girl that gets really flustered if more than two people are in the store at the same time, lol. She makes a lot of mistakes, but most are simple math stuff that is easy to fix with no loss. It isn't easy finding good reliable clerks that won't rip you off around here.
Its toasty today, about 80 degrees F and sunny and nice.
63º F in Massachusetts, cloudy. Since it's December, that's tee shirt weather!

That reminds me of something I saw awhile back. I was at the Dollar Store stocking up on bathroom supplies (the best place for it) and there was the sweetest older lady in line in front me. She asked this total bitch of a cashier where "those one suckers with the sticks are?" and the bitch snapped back at her: "OH?! YOU MEAN THE DUM-DUMS?!" and the lady said "yes" just as polite as she could be. I thought to myself..."Wow, what a bitch!". I paid for my stuff and left the store. Once I got back home, I looked up their corporate headquarters and reported her. I haven't seen her since and hope she got fired over that. She was way out of line, and you know what? I don't care if that woman ever finds another job. Screw her. Anyone that acts like that should not be in that line of work in the first place. I was so shocked because I have always been treated with respect there and most other people as well. I tend to recognize most of the workers there so she had to be a newbie....worthless sack of crap.
If my hair ever got shaved off I have a feeling I would have an emotional breakdown. It took years to grow from baldness and it'll take years to be at a point where I'm happy with it.

everyone all together: awwww! :D
Let's see, after graduating college, and moving to California, and assuming I'm single throughout this. If I save $500 a week I'll have like $25,000 within a year; that's enough for SRS and possibly some new boobs (or maybe other things instead). If I save $500 a week for 4-5 years, that's about $100,000-125,000 and that's enough to have a baby. If I somehow manage to save $500 a week for 4 years after having a baby because I'm married or whatever, that's enough for a downpayment on a reasonable house in California.... Ugh I don't even know if this is realistic, can you live without half your paycheck in Cali? >.>

Perhaps you can get SRS covered by insurance by that time.
I went over to my aunt's house with my mom tonight and I had brought my (now) usual stuff along. Wallet, Phone, Charger, MP3 Player, etc. I had it all stuffed in my coat pockets and when my mom was dropping me off, I was just checking to see what was in what and all that. I mentioned that "I should get a purse" and she seemed to act..I don't know...kind of weird. She kind of hesitated and then says something like "Oh, you will figure something out." LOL I don't know...I mean, I DO look kind of andro, I guess, but I've been around enough people that had no idea and thought I was just your average, run of the mill chick. Sure, there HAVE been a few times when some people weren't quite sure what I was. :D :D But those days are few and far between at this point and they were always teenagers. Even then, I'm about 60/40 when it comes to passing with teens. I just found the whole thing kind of funny. I mean..what would be the big deal if I decided to carry a purse by this point? I've been on HRT for 6 years, lived full time for 4 years. I'm only doing it because it's becoming a necessity at this point since I am accumulating all this crap. Plus, I am NOT the girly girl type so I would get something that was pretty plain, anyway. :D :D I don't know...her reaction just made me laugh and shake my head a bit is all.
Maybe she got you one for christmas and don't want to spoil the surprise.
Kabit and Willow are taking up most of my thoughts lately. What is with that?
Get a purse miss bungle! Just get a unisex one, like a messenger bag, and you'll still be walking that andro line. I bet once you have a handbag you'll never go back! (just know there is a little adaptation getting used to remembering it and not leaving it places!)
Now what I am thinking
....does anyone ever see other people on this site and just get so depressed? Sometimes I see guys and girls pass so well, sound so good, look so pretty and FLAWLESS...it makes my stomach sink and heart kind of sad. I need to stop comparing myself to others, I know, and I even pass super well, but it's like a freaking condition I cant stop doing it!! It's as if I'm damaged form all my years of comparing myself to others and wishing I could live as female...now I'm just plain neurotic. :embarrassed:

I know how you feel. I tend to get sad too because of a lot of guys (and some girls) on here. I'm happy for them, but I'm just sad for myself because I'm not in a position to transition at the moment. It can be gut-wrenching to see other people lap circles around you when it comes to transitioning. -hugs-

I don't really care for those, though. I'm thinking something more like this:
http://www.foxcreekleather.com/products/375-large-leather-handbag#description2
Maybe not that expensive, but then again, I want something that will last and isn't some piece of crap. I don't know..I will see how the budget plays out. If I get some Christmas cash it could go towards this. But I don't want some crappy Chinese made piece of garbage like I see in most of the shops around here. Plus, a lot of them are ugly as hell.

Second-hand shops! You can get designer-label handbags and all sorts of other gear for CHEAP! 8) Also since lots of people trade-in items they're usually in great shape because people don't use them for long (& it's in their interest to take care of them). I am not into expensive handbags really, but there is something to be said about having a nice, well laid-out, cute handbag!
(not that mine is ever close to being organised inside, but at least the outside is cute!)
Thinking about my hair, and how the growth over the past 7 months has been just normal. 4 inches of hair is not enough; I want at least 12. That would take 16 months to do at normal growth rates. I'm searching desperately for remedies. So far: eat/drink more soy, shampoo and condition less often, drink more coffee (one or two cups with caffeine is OK, but make sure most of it is decaf,) and take biotin supplements.
Anything I'm missing?
This may sound counter productive but it works. Trim about a half inch every 4 to 5 months. It reduces split ends and breakage along with never styling or brushing when wet or using electronic gizmos with hair.
I cut about a foot off a year ago and I regret it. It doesn't grow as fast on T or else slows down with age. My balding probably isn't helping either.
Hhhhm I wonder what kind of nightmare I ll see tonight,,,

Regular scalp massages can stimulate bloodflow and growth I've heard.
Wow, a person can somewhat see my personality when I play GTA V: Online. Someone randomly gave me $341000000 and I still haven't spent it. Instead, I have just been robbing convience stores and stealing cars to sell them in order to make more money and I've been extra careful nto to die so I wouldn't lose any money in hospital bills. I could buy a tank, a buzzard chopper, a new motorcycle, a brand new fast car, a dump truck, a blue bike, but I haven't. Why? Well if I spend money, I will have less of it, so I have to make sure I build my funds back up. This is how my mind operates in real life. I'm about to take my GTA V: Online character on the hunt to find a blue bike to steal instead of just paying 10 grand for one. If I can't find a blue bike, then I'm not sure if I'm going to just buy one bcause that's a lot of money and I already have a bike in the exact same brand, except it's yellow (that I "borrowed") I could just use that one. Yes, I'm that cheap. My mom said that I probably wouldn't use that money even if I had it lol. I probably would. I know I'd still be out in the Black Friday crowd and waiting for price drops.
Thinking about D and how I should stop thinking about D. Thinking about how odd it is that someone like me can still feel something for another person.
Thinking about weird identity stuff.
Wondering about my friends and if they can see and accept me for who I am or if they see someone I'm not and would reject me if they really knew me. Thinking of reactions people usually have to people like me. Something along the lines of "you're less than we are and should be more like us." I'm not.
I think it's kind of funny, reading Malachite constantly post about GTA V when I still play GTA III. :D (Along with all of the other old versions of GTA..except for SA & VCS...BOOOO!!) I just dig the atmosphere of 3's version of Liberty City. Plus, Once you have all the gangs gunning for you, it makes those sniping sessions more fun. (Of course, I still waste more than my fair share of pedestrians.) But the best part is being able to use the character cheat and not have it screw up the save files. It really annoyed me when they started putting that into the other versions later on.

I can speak from my own personal experience that it IS a real side effects and NOT a placebo. I had an experience before where the idiots at the insurance company was dragging their feet about covering my E when the dosage was changed and thanks to those schmucks, I had to go almost 6 days without E. I remember the night of the 5th day and I had this whole horrible emotional meltdown that hit me out of nowhere. It totally sucked. Things affect people differently.
I'm tired, but at least I have the next few days off. I ended up with 291 customers during the seven hours the store was open. Thought they'd never quit coming and then the ones calling to see if we open and what time we closed. I called one of my brothers on the way back from the bank and while talking he said that he hated that I was all alone for Christmas, I told I really wasn't, that I spent Christmas with 291 people...
Ugh I got all the cheesecake I wanted, now my brother can have the rest. I hope he takes it home with him because Malachite needs no more cheesecake.
Why does everyone want a boy? I just feel like it would be way funner to buy a crapload of pink things for my daughter. Plus "daughter" just has a nicer ring to it, lol.
But actually I don't perfer either gender for my potential future child. ;D
Id rather have a daughter though , I dunno they are really cute :P

I don't know why my family (particularly my father and grandma) thinks a person must know someone up north in order to move there. Sure it could help a lot, but can't a person just move up north without knowing anyone because they *want* to? Geez!

Luckily, you know someone up north. :D
I switched to smaller generic pills of spiro a few weeks ago. Since they are smaller I have to take more of them than I had been with the larger pills, and I've not really felt the same since. I switched because the larger brand pill was so much more expensive. I don't understand why I feel different though if the active ingredients are the same.

Keaira, there's a very strong chance that the generic uses different non-medicinal "filler". You reacting to a change in this non-medicinal content.
Work sucks. I get home , have 5 hours to sleep, eat, and whatever before having to go back in. Plus I don't sleep well when it screws up my meds and have to sleep when I am normally awake.

I don't think it's the uniform. I just think you are looking quite hot, girl.
Too bad you aren't a lesbian.
Actually, I would say I was bisexual at this point. :P
I overheard my mother talk on the phone with my father and she said something along the lines of "well you can't cuss at her because that would only alienate her from you". My father does that a lot to me so I was liking where that conversation was going, but then I heard my mom's tv volume go back up to it's normal range so that must mean my father threw a hissyfit and hung up. So that's where I get my immaturity from....

I didnt think I would ever like guys. It came as a shock when I found myself flirting with a guy at my old workplace. It scared me too. But, after some thought and getting used to the idea, I accepted that its just another part I cant control. When Caleb cuddles me, I feel protected, comforted and safe and loved. With a woman, I feel....huh....err... well, I dont know what I feel anymore.
Same here Keira. I catch myself checking out guys, sometimes light a lil' fire haha. I think things now that before would have just grossed me out. I would never have been attracted to a male before, I considered myself asexual, but that has changed too much to deny.

Maybe I should let my father buy me a mattress the next time he offers again. He has offered in the past because my mattress literally has spikes that stick out of them when I lay down. It has torn through my pillows, sheets, covers, clothes, and even my flesh. I declined his offer because I was just thankful to have a bed and I'd rather him save his money. Plus, I don't want to get used to sleeping in a comfy bed in the event I ever get thrown out of the house for being transgender and have to sleep on the ground outside. If soldiers can sleep in undesirable places, then so can I. I'm not that special to where I need to indulge in comfort. I need to toughen up anyways.

Dude. Take the offer. I used to sleep on the floor in my living room because I kept the bedroom for Noise stuff only. After several years of this (and my mom offering to give me a bed year after year), I took it. Just take the friggin bed.

I went through a phase where I would only sleep on the floor even though I had a perfectly fine bed. It's like I was trying to prove that I was stronger by sleeping on the floor. I only ended up with a really bad back and an empty bed. It didn't achieve anything. Whilst I understand why you're doing it, accept the new mattress.

We have lots of awesome rabbits. The only ones that caused problems were the friggin chipmunks. They would get in the walls and chew through the AC lines and were just a total pain in the ass. Not to mention they were EVERYWHERE! You couldn't walk literally two feet without seeing friggin chipmunks.
But the 'normal' humans are even weirder than the 'weird' humans... Try to explain that
I'm not normal. I'm μ + 2.4σ. ::)

Miri is a warrior. She is considered an outcast among her race because of her blue fur. So she was raised to be a warrior, eventually becoming good enough to join the GROPOS, their Elite special forces. She was expected to die in battle, but, like a bad penny she kept coming back. Miri is not without a soft side, she just hides it from the rest of the world.

Big hug! Sending thoughts your way. Hugs, Devlyn
After this two weeks inferno a lot of things are getting very clear, but what I'm having as a farewell gift is a new meaning of GD.
In fact, it is so big that I am considering more and more my priorities. That is, SRS before FFS. In the end I'm coming to terms with what my face really matters compared to that other critical part of my body. I never thought I suffered from a serious case of genital hate, until I had a small taste of what would be to detransition.
My gender seems to be fully reaffirmed, and more than ever I have no doubts about who and what I am.

This is Kathy Cat. She is Laura's adopted sister (following the death of her alcoholic mother in an auto accident.) She's very loyal to her friends, even if she is a VERY sarcastic person that enjoys screwing with people. She will fight at the drop of a hat if anyone screws with her or her friends. She tends to make fun of Laura & Portia for their overly mushy relationship but is very fond of Portia at the same time. Considers Portia as "the little sister that she never had." She's a huge Death Metal & Harsh Noise fan. The shirt she is wearing is from the Boston grindcore band AC (I can't say what the letters actually stand for here. :D) Just look up the terms: AC, grindcore and Boston in google.

I would love to live that lifestyle and care for my animals it seems so honest and sincere. You are lucky that your day consists of such natural beauty and that you get to be away from the city it gets so OLD. Good on ya liam!
@T-Virus- I am definitely glad you had that experience because it does sound so reaffirming. I cannot imagine going back even a little bit, de-transition is just an impossibility isnt it?! Good for you girl such affirmation is often hard-won. :)

I want to make myself a pair of woolen gloves specifically for the horse barn I work at in the mornings, and I wanted one glove from one ewe and the other from her sister, but I think plying them together would be even better. I raised them both by hand what's been nearly nine and eight years ago respectively.
See that is just way too over-the-top amazing. How many people get to say that!?! I have often dreamed of dumping the whole social/city environment as I get so tired of dealing with people. It is impossible to go anywhere without constantly seeing others. Sometimes I just wanna be left alone! mehhhh!
I sense a thread that is about to be locked.
I would bet some money on it, but considering how I got to save for top surgery, I don't want to be a gambling man. lol
I miss Shy.
Sprite tastes good.
Yup, I was right about that thread.
I should have more confience in myself. It could have gotten me an imaginary 10 dollars.
IVF is looking more affordable, although still limiting. If my niece were my surrogate it would be about $25,000-$35,000, or if not her maybe one of my friends. I wonder what the success rate is if both genetic parents and the surrogate are fertile, especially if one of the parents is a fancy donor egg, ooooooo. Hmm, twins are 30% likely with IVF treatments. Omg if I had twins that would be awesome since I'm not doing it more than once lol, especially if they were a boy and a girl.
But such is just talk for things that are years in the future. Ughhhhhh I want to hug a baby
Oh, and I want a pickup truck, a maroon pickup truck. Not picky about it either, it can be an old one with two seats and rollup windows for all I care, but I want one. <3
Ugh, I'm not even ready for my license yet. (even though I'm a good driver now) Back to pointless daydreaming. Hmm, I wonder how much I can save up through college. (with parent's support) Is nursing school gonna eat all of it? >.>
I need to eat and do laundry. Unfortunately, that means I need to leave my room. I'm still working up the, IDK, courage/energy to do so.
I really want to do my nails in black, but that thing does not come out easily, and I have another family lunch on January 1st. What to do... Pick another color and remove it later? Skip the lunch since I need to be in man mode? More inclined to this.

How about working through it for the time being with a little compromise? That is unless of course you are the center of the universe which is a prescription for loneliness and ostracism from those that mean anything to you. There are ways to finesse family members through you're transition rather than suddenly going off in their face like a nuclear bomb from out of nowhere!

Yes, really. If they cared about her, they'd accept her for who she is. If they want to be unloving, they don't deserve to have her in their lives. It's not healthy keeping toxic people in one's life.

Not all family members are toxic simply because they don't understand what's going on, there are ways to finesse them through one's transitional plans unless one is just a bully and bulldozes everyone out of their life in which case it might be better to fall headlong into a well because it's going to get cold and lonely either way.
Still, they finance part of my rent and help with food and fruit, plus I depend of them for things such as getting a car lift, lending me a suitcase or whatever they still can do for me. Not to mention that I could lose the house anytime and be forced to be there and keep the circus act as long as I am unemployed
It's the same as with the GD clinic. I would like to avoid seeing them and dance their conga, but they cover my HRT and SRS. The clinic has agreed to take them in consultation and see if they can accept things a bit.
You want me to present male in front of your neighbours or a pair of mentally damaged grandparents OK, but when we are alone? You could start calling me Noah for once. I don't enjoy my old name to be used with total and absolute propriety, less male pronouns. So I'd rather skip it. I will still be severely unstable, and...
Let's face it: I'd rather stay at my place that suffering a heavy lunch the rest of the day.
BTW, I keep telling them: "there will be a time when I won't be able to hide my breasts? This won't work forever".
It's a pathetic situation, but as long as I can't provide full independent and backup plan, that's it. In the meantime, the less I see them, the better. Because as you know, I don't take kindly to breaking female presentation and full time. Keep in mind that I'm aiming for SRS as soon as I reach the one year full time.

Family isn't about blood relations, it's about people who love each other, regardless of what they do or don't understand. It sounds like her "family" doesn't care. If they don't care, then why do they deserve to be in her life?
I never said they're toxic just because they don't understand but they are toxic if they refuse to show you love and compassion. If they cared, they'd try to understand rather than trying to force her to appear as something she's not.

I can understand keeping them in your life for the time being but I agree that you'd be better off skipping the lunch. I'm sorry that they're being so unreasonable. *HUG*
You know what I hate about black nail polish? It's the hardest to do plain color, the worst stains, and looks awful if you screw up.
Sure, I could pay 6€ and get it done, but nooo, here I am, doing each hand separately to avoid risks and be able to use the other....
I can't believe that it is almost 1 pm and I've only been awake around a half hour. I was snoooooozing.

Quote from: Emo on December 31, 2013, 12:11:22 AM

Maybe the help has to go to him. I never figured out how to do that.
I tried to be there for him.. I helped him get through it once.. But i had to sleep.... And that could have cost him his life...
Emo, you going to sleep will never cost him his life. You are not responsible for him. If he offs himself, it is because he made a choice.
If i can affect a choice by being there to stop him then it is my responsibility to act on that option.
He is not your responsibility. Sleep is a human need. If you don't take care of yourself, you won't be any help to him anyway.
I don't mean to sound harsh, but I know from experience that... things I can't find words for. I'll get back to on that once I've had some sleep.
I'm thinking about gender and unusual-ness and wondering if I should write a post.
Im not responsible for my friends?
Isnt that what friendship is?
No. Your friends are responsible for their own actions. All you can do is try your best.
No, it's not. Not that I'm all that knowledgable on the subject of friends, but I know depression.
I know that, if you don't take care of yourself, you won't be able to help anyone. "You can't get water from an empty well." I also know that threatening to kill oneself if they don't meet one's demands is abusive, so it is also a bad idea to put that kind of pressure on oneself.
I know that this is his journey to make. (Sorry about the cliche.) Support is fine, but he needs to figure out how this works for him. Trust me, I know this from experience. (Sorry about weird wording. I need sleep and am bad with words at the best of times.)

One of the first things you are taught in suicide counselling courses is that YOU are not responsible for the actions of others. Yes we try our best be that person a friend or an anonymous person, but we are not responsible.
I have had the terrible experience of listening to a person blow their head off with an automatic weapon. The first bullet would have killed them, I had to listen to all 18.
It haunts me, but I live and function because I am not responsible for that girls actions.
Yes, we have a duty to try our best, but our higher duty is to protect ourselves. Be that with sleep or getting out of the way either physically or emotionally.
You should not feel bad about your horrible experience in anyway at all.
Love
Cindy
Youre right casey.. But it would affect me if i lost him... Especially at a time like this...
@cindy
Im sorry you had to go through such a traumatic experience.
I would not have been able to handle something like that.
You make a good point tho... But if theres anything i can do to alleviate the situation i try to take that step. Ive never lost a friend to violence especially self inflicted and i dont want it to start.
@edge
There wasnt a warning for this one.
He just snapped. I knew he was suicidal but i didnt know he would try it that nite.

The responsibility for another person's life is not a burden you want to carry. That person is a free agent, able to make decisions for themselves. If your friend is seriously intent on killing themselves, the best thing you can do is let everyone who loves that person know there is a problem.
You people are so wise.
People do make their own choices and decisions in life. When they mess up and I have to show up as a Paramedic is it MY fault if they die by their own actions/choices? A BIG NO. I try to save them, but if it does not work I tried my best and go on to the next call. Did I ever feel bad I could do nothing about the situation? Of course, but I know I did nothing to cause the problem, worked as hard as I could and my conscience is clear. That is what you have to realize.
I dont mean to be disrespectful or anything but this situation is more of a preventative thing.

He is now. Thank you.
One of my friends wondered why people who no one believes in have an "easier" time believing in themselves than people who everyone else believes in. I wonder why she thinks that.
That prompted me to muse that people who no one believes in have had to fight for their belief in oneself whereas people who others believe in haven't had to. This apparently offended on of my friend's friends and she claims that people with great support systems have to fight as hard.
While I conceded that I can't understand what someone with a different life has had to go through, I still feel kind of insulted by this. It's kind of like telling me that all that I have faced (and faced alone) is as easy as someone who hasn't had to go through that stuff. At the same time though, I am wary of saying anything that could possible offend this stranger because I don't want to deal with her.
Now, my mind is full of thoughts on how certain life experiences can make things seem easy in comparison and how it may give someone an edge because they already know they can make it.
I was speaking to someone the other week who only knows what has happened in the past few years of my life. They expressed surprise that I was able to make it and claimed they hadn't thought I could. It's ego boosting, but is weird to me. What I have accomplished in the past few years was easy compared to the years before that.
Sorry I ramble about stuff no one cares about.
I dont think all life is easy for anyone. Different people deal with different aspects of life easier than others based on how one is raised, or brain chemistry, or any other number of factors.
We all go through different life experiences but all we can do is be there for each other and try a little empathy and understanding.
It's just random musings over an odd comment my friend made. I can't really say if it's true or not. I currently have no way to test it and my current information (or lack thereof) does not give an adequate understanding.
Speaking of psychology, another friend and I got on the subject of the effects of othering individuals. There are aspects of that I also want to study, but am unfortunately unable to.
Ugh! I wish there was a reliable way to see other people's subjective experiences. That would make research so much easier.
I wonder if I could team up with an engineer or something and find some way to do it.
Hmm. I wonder how much funding psychology research gets anyway.
I wonder if I can take over the world using psychology.

I noticed! Thanks! Hence the continued fanboy brain rambling. It's so exciting isn't it? One comment can lead to so many questions. Brains are fascinating. I like how all the factors work together to form one individual like pieces of an extremely complex puzzle. I want to take them apart and see how they work. Except we currently can't. Yet.
You should go into phychology.
Thanks! I'm planning on going into neuroscience or genetics actually. Neuroscience is what I am most passionate about, but genetics has a lot of potential and exciting things happening.
Thats so cool. I used to want to be a scientist when i was a kid but that gave way to my creative side. Lol
But i hope for the best for you in whichever field you choose. ^__^
Thanks! Hey, scientists are very creative. (Not actually offended, just very passionate about science.) What do you want to do now?
Animation, cartooning, storytelling.
I have a very massive imagination and i want my "universe" to be shared with the world. And also use it to teach love and acceptance among other things through this storytelling. I love scifi tho so id incorperate plausible things... In my universe anyways. Lol
Cool. Stories are a powerful medium. At least, they are in my opinion.
Lol. Exactly why im using it. Transform the world one set of eyes at a time. :p

Too many humans around. I wasn't able to stay in the room at dinner while they talked about school; it triggers me. Just about any school or childhood anecdote carries a lot of old pain for me. I found a room with music playing and sat and rocked until some of them cleared out. I need to get out of here again now for the same reason, but I am not done with my computer for the night and it's too cold to take it outside. (whine, whine)
I can't deal with people either and end up hiding out somewhere. Right now it is interfering with showering and food. I have to find a way to change this situation. I totally understand the misery.

Thinking about when some trans people that have went through SRS and have people asking if they can see the surgical results and their response is something like "I'll show you my genitals if you show me yours", where I'm guessing they aren't expecting the other person to show, but what if they are willing to say "Okay!" and drop their pants. Then what? lol

Your not alone in that either Emo, unfortunately, it hurts as if it is. Being yourself is a challenge for us, sometimes we need a borrowed family to get through it. Parents often come around once they know you are serious and not changing your mind.
Don't sweat it Emo. We will be here for you always, OK? :)
This will be tough...
My parents say this stuff is all in my head.. How can i tell what is truth and what is not?
Holy...... Wait.. I remember i did come out to them in a way... I told them i didnt like being a guy but i couldnt explain why. The details are vague tho. Hate my selective memory...
It's OK baby! It still confuses me at times and I am 48 and have started transition.

That's one of the things that put me off from doing it at 16; having my parents nag me about errands. My fricken mother has such a dependent attitude that I'd have to do everything (which she hasn't been doing anyway, she gets someone else to) from groceries to driving my dad (who can't drive) to the doctor. I think I'm a good driver but I'm still fricken clumsy and the other day I almost didn't give the right-of-way to these old people and I was coming in really fast and my dad had to tell me. >.<

Trying to make sense of a really odd dream. Last night, I dreamt that I was on a date with Fidel Castro and we were out at a haunted Mexican restaurant that was filled with ghosts. Not only was this a "what the hell dream", but I just looked at my "this day in history email" to realize that Castro took over Cuba today (well, years ago,lol). So, what am I thinking? Why the hell did I dream of dating Fidel Castro, a monster who I despise and never think about? Why was it at a haunted restaurant? And why did I have it on day that he overthrew Batista when I didn't know beforehand that it occurred on this day? There are so many what the hell moments that I can't make sense of any of this. Maybe my mind flashed to Godfather 2 and the new years day celebration when I was dreaming. Eh, I have no idea. I'm a messed up person.
Well, you did ask what I was thinking..... so blame yourself for having read this, lol.
Dreams are dreams. Your subconscious is just working stuff out.
What would have been "messed up" is if you ended up in bed with an 87-year old cigar smoker. :o
I had some clam chowder this morning and the instructions said when microwaving it, to put a cover over it.
I thought to myself "No, I'm going to do whatever I want to do and I'm not doing that.:
About 2 minutes later the clam chowder started exploding so I had to wipe up the mess inside of the microwave and I said to myself, "oooooh that's why".
Am I still going to microwave clam chowder without a lid? Yes because that's how I roll. Then again, I'm not a big fan of it and I prefer the NFL Chunky Meat soup but we didn't have any.
I'm taking a leave of absence until the seismic energy dissipates. The conflict is causing me stress and anxiety, which doesn't make the site much use as a support right now. :-\
No blame to anyone. Much love to everyone, all the best, and see you in a bit.

Her daughter just called me a few minutes ago. they sent her up to Greeneville after doing a ct scan with contrast on her and apparently, she may have an aneurysm, we'll find out more once the kids get up to Greeneville and a doctor has seen her up there. I'm hoping they have caught it early enough. Still, she's 70 and on blood thinners already and has had a few heart attacks in the past.

The waiting game isn't necessarily a bad thing. It strengthens our resolve and gives us time to reflect on the changes and the effects these change have in our lives. Use that time to better yourself, whether it be school, fem mannerisms and make-up, or just sorting out a career. The time will fly faster than you may think.
Music is probably one of the most cited items as a saving grace through troubling times..

So i must be doing something right in letting myself out.

In case many of you don't know, I detest texting and its takeover of conversation. Here is a photo which show just how bad it has gotten.

Reading this topic made me go look at the keypad on my razr to see if the letters were there and they are. If I don't know a number, I just ask google and then hit the call choice on the results. And I've even gotten used to using the speak to text thing just because it easier and I can annoy them with long paragraphs...

Nah. I already looked into doing that at a place way out on the west side of town and they wanted WAY too much money to rent the place so...nah. We are going to play in a bingo hall again. But this time I plan on beating a keyboard to death (on the Grand Piano setting. I can't play the thing to save my life. I bought one way back in 2002 just for Noise stuff) and growling/screeching my lungs out. I will make sure I have about 7000 bottles of water around so I can get through it. :D

The vocals will sound similar to this. Classic!
Actually, after I got my tonsils out, I was able to get my Death Metal vocals back. For a few years, my vocals were completely shot due to my tonsils being severely infected.
When I do vocals of any type, no matter if it is singing or growling/screeching, I just go for it. No point in doing it half way.
I think every time my father calls or have to be near him, my blood pressure goes up. I know he means well, but still.....he makes me nervous. Sometimes I contemplate wanting the type of relationship with him, where I want nothing to do with him, but I want him to have a good life.
Maybe I should re-come out to him as trans and tell him about my plans of transitioning, espcially a mastectomy within the next couple of years, lol.
lol so he can tell you what a waste of money it is again? :P

I actually tried calling him before posting this, but he didn't pick up. Now I'm kind of chickening out considering that my response would probably get back to my mom and that wouldn't be so good. >.> Oh great and he's going to call me back....
I'm thinking about relationships. Specifically, the romantic kind. I've found a girl who seems to be... well, perfect for me. The problem is that I am sure something will go wrong. My being trans* has put me in the position to expect people to find me hard to be with, if not impossible. I'm terrified and so excited by the prospect. Advice? Please?

This is an issue that worries me a lot too. I guess, at the end of the day, you have two options which is take the chance and tell her, or not take the chance and not be with her. Because unless you're 100% post-op and stealth it will have to come up at some point if you get seriously connected.

I'm like 5'10" lol. I wish I was short I like looking up at people. >.>
I decided on Monday I am going to call the doctors that I was meant to have top surgery with (paid for by gov't). I'm scared!! I'm scared they'll be mean lol. But what's more painful? The fear of rudeness/being told he wasn't taking any more trans patients, or living with boobs until I can save $8000? :(
I'm really tired of being single. I hate being single. And I hate that I have been single for so long. I really do hope that I will have some luck after getting srs done. Of course I'm getting srs for myself but I can't say that that is not the only reason. I know more doors will open for me and I really hope that I'm able to find a partner.
I have not had many relationships unfortunately I have had a small number that I can count on one hand. The longest being a year and the rest being so short not sure if you could even count them as being as such. There is nothing more lonely then being alone and having nobody to call your own. Thankfully I have very good friends that I have known for many many years. But just to say I love you I have not said much and have also not been in love with many people.
Also being someones fantasy is not something I enjoy I rather despise it. Being used for someones sexual thrills is also something I hate. Being trans for the most part is a curse then something good. And sometimes I wish I was just born like I should have been. However I also find that I was made this way to teach people something, What I'm not 100% sure. I really hope things get better for me this year. And I hope that someday I will be with someone who loves me for who and what I am.
Ok enough pity party just had to get that off my chest.
Be patient with it. Im sure there is someone out there who will love you no matter what.
I feels for you.
Ive given up on love tho. Im sure youll have better luck..
Here is hoping Emo :D
You look good by the way. :3

Perhaps, although I have known a few guys who have admitted to crossdressing who are...well, creepy and perverted lol. Not because they crossdress, just their general attitude towards things.

Oh my god I am so glad it's not just me who's had my share of these guys lol! I seem to lurk the wrong corners of the internet a bit too much.
Guess the level of creepyness it's far to big with the "heteros" I have met. Either that or the fact none of the crossdressers where interested in hooking with me, but trying to make friends. In fact, I have gotten a lof of info on makeup tips from them (The ones that are not closeted and don't fear the world).

I will admit that the Internet is the worst. Although I had a good friend who said she had this guy friend who really needed help figuring himself out...turns out he was bisexual, crossdressed, and found "transgenders" very "exotic." Basically he was interested in having sex with me. That conversation ended so fast I can't even tell you.

Well thankfully I'm not attracted to men, so I was just able to say "yeah, I'm not interested in guys" and pray that he left it at that. He did. And then I was like "so yeah I have to go to a meeting now, nice to meet you, BYYYYE." :P

Crazy people. Iran into a lady. She said that their is a sex offender working in the high school where I work. She doesn't know I work there. She said her Uncle is running for school board to get them out and start back ground checks. She was shocked when I told her that background checks are required for all who work there and that there is no sex offender. I didn't tell her about me but I suspect that is what this 'rumor' was about.

Yeah, Youtube has really went downhill. My main account was getting all kinds of copyright claims against it once American Greetings found out about the Get Along Gang episodes. So, since I could see the handwriting on the wall, I just went ahead and closed the account rather than logging on someday to see that it had been taken down. I also closed out my account centered around AC. That probably pissed off some people but, oh well. I don't go on Youtube as much as I did in the past so I don't really care anymore. Maybe outside of some random clip or music promo video from old days, it doesn't matter much now.

I spent several hours crying last night, which is...well, it just doesn't happen anymore on T.
For one, I had a bad dream. my dream involved someone I care for very deeply dying in her sleep. And waking up from that made me realize something. The moment I realized I was "different", around age 11 or 12, I stopped making close friends because I could no longer trust anyone with my emotions. It doesn't matter how smart I am, how well I put myself together, how good of a person I am - I'm different, and I'll always be the other. I'm not Caleb, I'm the "trans friend." I do have people who understand trans stuff, who get me and love ME, and I'll do anything for those people. But they're so few and far between. And if one of them died in real life...I don't know how I'd be able to be OK. I'm still heartbroken over my dog dying, and I still miss my hamster that died over a year ago, how could I handle a real person?
It felt good to cry, but it's so hard having to pack it all away and be strong.
Guys cry all the time. My last cry was a few months ago tho. Its hard to cry as a guy and i personally hate it. I cant let anything out.
I feel you are better at this than me tho. I didnt even cry at my grandmas funeral. Whom i was very close to. So look at your cry as a blessing of getting it all out at one time instead of letting it out all the time. There are plenty of guys who get angry instead and id hate to see you turn out like that too.

You just sound like a good person. Life is a give and take. We know people and love them, but that means we will fear losing them. Friends, family, pets...it's the time we have with them that makes it worth while.
Tennyson on the subject:
"Oh yet we trust that somehow good
Will be the final goal of ill,
To pangs of nature, sins of will,
Defects of doubt, and taints of blood;
That nothing walks with aimless feet;
That not one life shall be destroy'd,
Or cast as rubbish to the void,
When God hath made the pile complete;
That not a worm is cloven in vain;
That not a moth with vain desire
Is shrivell'd in a fruitless fire,
Or but subserves another's gain.
Behold, we know not anything;
I can but trust that good shall fall
At last—far off—at last, to all,
And every winter change to spring.
So runs my dream: but what am I?

i prefer the female body so yes i am a lesbian transgirl but if that were the only thing i liked in humans i would keep living as a guy.
but its not. i love people for who they are not how they look. there are plenty of people like me. you just have to know where to find them.

Oh well. Nice avatar, by the way. I like Soul Eater. My favourite characters are Stein (of course), Free and Eruka, Giriko, and the Black Mass.
I havent watch soul eater....but this song...this song for the love of god is more than amazing....

Still is isn't he? I'm not all caught up on the manga.
I prefer the original theme too.
Most definitely is sexy. :)
I read a bit of the manga. I think i like the art better in it. Apparently they might be making a remake like they did with fma brotherhood. Theres definitely interest.
That would be cool. I like the story in the manga better.
Since we talk about anime you guys should totally check this out...

I love Wandering Son! It's pretty emotional at times, but it's a well done anime. I think it really shows a lot about what it's like to approach puberty as a trans person.

Guys cry all the time. My last cry was a few months ago tho. Its hard to cry as a guy and i personally hate it. I cant let anything out.
I feel you are better at this than me tho. I didnt even cry at my grandmas funeral. Whom i was very close to. So look at your cry as a blessing of getting it all out at one time instead of letting it out all the time. There are plenty of guys who get angry instead and id hate to see you turn out like that too.
I find it hard to cry at all anymore, so it's pretty unusual...I didn't mind but it's not something I am used to anymore. I cried last night as well. I have a feeling I am entering, or have entered, another depressive episode. Which is bad for me as the previous ones lasted several years. I was warned that it was life long, heh, but I still cling to the idea that I don't have anything diagnosable.

You just sound like a good person. Life is a give and take. We know people and love them, but that means we will fear losing them. Friends, family, pets...it's the time we have with them that makes it worth while.
It's true, but it's such a sad part of life.
In other news, my brother showed a friend of his my picture (after telling her I was trans, since she has a gf that she thinks might be FTM)...she thinks I am cute and wants to squeeze me. I have to wonder if she'd say that knowing I was cis. It might also be a nice way of saying "awww he looks fat and stupid in that picture <3 <3" :P
I ate 4 Cheetos just now and I feel bad about it. It's not like I ate 11 Cheetos, but still....
I'm about to eat some pasta alfredo so that's even worse lol. Well, to my defense, I didn't really have a dinner today/yesterday. All I had was cereal, apple sauce, a fruit cup, a left over baked chicken strip with no salt, a carrot, 4 Cheetos and an apple. On top of that I worked out my legs with 25 squats (not much but it's more than what I usually do and got tired).
Yeah.....I'm eating.
I just learned that dental is only covered for kids under ACA because it would make the plans too expensive. My dental plan is super cheap so this makes no sense.

Feel free to take our Cheetos since I definately don't need them. :D
I went full time by the time my sixth HRT month started (five whole months). And in these three months full time, things have been a complete disaster. I have no major effects from HRT, I keep getting misgendered even with the whole costume, and my face is a passability issue.
The logical part of my brain tells me to revert to male until hormones start making a considerable effect, and i start to get misgendered. The emotional half says to keep doing it in order to rack RLE months for SRS as soon as possible.
But, which part should I listen to?

Hi baby! I would hate to see you lose the progress you have made so far. I have had the same thoughts at times, but the Dysphoria monster keeps chasing me.

On the subject of Ugly Betty, gawd New York seems like an awesome city to live in.
That's the part of Season 1 I am on. ;D I watched all of it two years ago so this is re-runs for me but it's great to experience them a second time. You notice things you never saw before.
On a more depressing note, not having a job is horrible. It always has the same effect on me...haven't worked in a month, and this is the fourth night in a row I've stayed up all night and ended up crying for over an hour at a time. =/ I stopped crying after a while on T so this is very strange. I really don't think letting myself stay up and think about sad things is doing my mental health any favours.
So. I'll wake up early, temporarily delete depressing music, movies, and websites from my computer, bring some canned goods and other "necessities" so I can set up camp at the university, and make a point to go out each day to work on my thesis in the library around people instead of in my bedroom.

No, but they may want to reduce my hours a tad from 65+ in the coming weeks. Apparently, the owner is concerned about overworking me, so I do have to take a day off every week right now. Albeit not a whole day as I still have to come in to do paperwork and prepare the deposit and stuff so that I am the only one getting into the safe. I think I am going to let the night girls come in a little earlier if they want to so that they can get a little time and make my days just a hair shorter though.

Not really, I've done worse in the past. Less than 10 years ago, I could easily do 40 hours straight without much of a break when I was a stevedore. Plus, I'd rather be the one doing most of the first shift stuff to keep things from getting messed up since we do some things differently than the store we are borrowing people from.

I've seen you mention working as a stevedore a few times and have to concede that, until a few minutes ago, I had no idea what that meant.

lol, that's a matador. I worked for an import/export company that primarily handled bulk materials. We loaded mostly woodchips and phosphate products and unloaded scrap steel, borate and occasionally rebar and fertilizer. We also did the odd explosive stuff for mining and also a little military stuff like mines and rocket motors. Plus line handled as well.

Besides, even if I knew her usernames and passwords, I'm not going to spend my time reading her messages! I doubt she has much going on anyway lol.
But she said I was "pathetic" for doing it, and that she would never believe me and only confronted me now because she knew I'd never admit to it.

Yesterday, I asked another Loki fan if she was excited for the upcoming comic in February. (Note: she's not actually what I would call a Loki fan, but saying so makes me sound like a jerk, so I don't.) She replied that she read something about how Loki, along with being the god of mischief and stuff, is also the god of "sexual deviance." Her words, not mine and I'm pretty sure the descriptions of the upcoming comic call it being bi, not "deviance." I already knew she had this opinion and didn't get mad ( I also don't care about her opinion), but it does make me wonder why she is even in this group with includes a bi trans guy, at least one bi woman, at least one lesbian, and people who support lgbt people.
You can disagree without judgement.
Yeah I know. That conversation was still friendly and we talked more about Loki in the myths than her choice of words and/or opinion of lgbt people.
Lol. Its only natural. :p

Maybe she meant deviant in the statistical sense (falling >1 SD from the mean). ::)
Maybe, but she's expressed disapproval before. In any case, her opinion doesn't matter all that much to me.
You know when you are having a really good day and you want to share it with people? Is it socially acceptable or awkward when guys share happiness? Then again, maybe it doesn't matter. Or maybe I'm being too optimistic.
I understand that. Intolerance is dangerous, tho. :-\
She should read "Perv: The Sexual Deviant in All of Us." It might cause her pause for thought.
I don't think she can really be all that intolerant. As I said, she is in a group of friends that includes several lgbt people and lgbt supporters.

Bottle of wine
Fruit of the vine
When you gonna let me get sober?
Leave me alone
Let me go home
Let me go home and start over
Ramblin' around this dirty old town
And singin' for nickels and dimes
Times gettin' rough
I ain't got enough

Fruit of the vine
When you gonna let me get sober?
Leave me alone
Let me go home

My pants are so old that they shine
Out on the street, I beg the people I meet

When you gonna let me get sober?

I fell asleep somewhat early and woke up at 5:30 am. What I wonder to myself is, is it better to just start working on stuff at home, or should I make a 1.5 hour commute to uni? Uni is ideal, but if I end up getting really tired again, I have to head back home for another 1.5 hr commute while exhausted.
Just got back home from the hospital after doing throat surgery. Funny how people are so talkative when I can't respond........ :p

I wonder if there are such a thing as male bras. Hmm...

I don't know. I know a lot of men with gynecomastia wear sports bras or like compression shirt type things. I remember one time I went into a store because I needed a bra (ugh) and I asked the woman if she had any sports bras that would fit a man. Turns out I was too broad for what they had. And she was like "oh yeah we have these Under Armour ones...and don't worry...I think everyone is normal." LMAO.

Lol. Didnt expect that answer.
That makes sense.
Tho i wish i had your problem of needing to find a bra. :/
Lol you are very welcome to have that problem of mine. I wonder if the salesgirl thought I was like early transition MTF...or just...fat lol.
Well, that kind of sucks. I spent the past two days working on something for a client and now she goes and dies on me.

Sitting here watching "The Breakfast Club". I hadn't seen it since about 96ish. I think it holds up well. But I hate what they do to Ally Sheedy's character at the end. She looked better before that stupid makeover.
I'm thinking about nicking the idea of kids being in Saturday detention for a future Get Along Gang fanfic: Laura, Kathy, Portia & Dotty end up in a huge fight with some punks that screw with them so they have to spend the Saturday at the school. It won't really be a parody, really. I just like that idea. They could also indulge in certain other things during the course of that day, but they tend to do that anyway. :D
I just watched the mivie Selena (1997) for the first time, and love it. super sad in the end. :(

I need to DO my problems instead of saying "im too tired tonite."
It's basically true. I think thinking can be helpful for things that can't be acted upon right away...but I read this article just today about how 60% (and perhaps more, in the case of more complex problems) are solved spontaneously using "aha" moments. Oftentimes, these moments come when people are away from their typical environment because they mentally get themselves out of a rut. So when they return, they temporarily have a clear mind and can come up with novel solutions and ways of thinking about an issue. The article was advocating for avoiding things like checking your email, and dealing with mundane little old things when you return with a clear mind, because the resource quickly gets sucked up, you get back in the rut, and struggle to come up with new solutions to old, complex issues.

Dieting is sooo hard. :( I've been kinda half dieting...just avoiding crap at some opportunities and cooking a lot of healthier food to fill up on that. But I've still got to lose like 50 lbs for top surgery and I know at some point I'm going to have to go without a lot more.
I'm thinking about someone I probably shouldn't that makes me feel great and horrible at the same time.

Did you try dipping them in milk till theyre soft? Its what i do. Either that or eat the cream first then the cookie part.

Insurance pays 80%, I need the other 20.
How much is the other 20?
How bad is the tooth? Mine are frankly horrible hence I do not do toothy smiles although I grew up thinking that toothy smiles seem fake or forced so I guess it is just ingrained in me.

I do that too. I tend to ask people really deep sometimes personal questions. I like having those kinds of convos tho. Its more interesting to learn about others rather than here my own problems over and over.

Oh I like you. I am tempted to go on a spiel about brains and subjective experiences and how fascinating people are and how much I want to watch my friend become who he wants to be, but can't get the words in order.

I cant talk much about it myself. When its a face to face convo, my mind goes too fast for my words to keep up so my conversations tend to be jumbled or better yet, ADD. Lol
Im better at convos when im typing it out. I can slow down my train of thought when i type.

The Hubble telescope did need repair when it was first launched, and may have needed it since, but I'm pretty sure she's making a joke that because it's American made, it can't convert between different measurement units.
That's pretty good. :D
Nah the first grindings of the reflective mirror were done in Europe on metric measurements as standard engineering practice world wide. The company in the USA that did the final grinding forgot the measurements where metric and ground in empirical measurement, no one realised the stuff up and when in space it couldn't be focused and a corrective reflector had to be retro fitted in a space walk.

Oh I'm not being disparaging, the retro fit and the engineering that went into that was awesome.
Just the problems that happen when we don't have universal measurement systems.

I'm thinking about a lot of things, but having trouble putting them in words because I'm tired.
Some traits that I have/want are considered "feminine," but they are traits of men I relate to/want to emulate. There's a point in there, but words.
I'm really not used to the way some of my new friends treat me... They're always so happy to see me, they hug and kiss me, they come and comfort me when I'm upset (lots of cuddles)... It's nice but it's very strange and I'm scared it's not going to last...

Thinking about a new avatar.
This has been my thought process (for several months) when it comes to selecting a new avatar:
"Hmmm....which Portia image should I use THIS time?"
What is this feeling?
Half way gone from a state of being.
I find it intriguing
My head is ringing.
Im not dead yet ,
But i might as well.
I feel nothing but regret.
Is this a living hell?
I want to be done with life.
I want to feel the scythe.
Lay my neck to the fold.
Feed me to the wolves.
Is it over?
Am i finished?
Is my life blood finally deminished?
No its not gone.
Im still here for a reason.
So heres to a coming dawn.
Im Prepared for the next season.
This is my life.
Im in this for him.
And if i go under the knife,
I wont be condemned
By no one but man
In this life full of sand.
Im not dead.
I wont be afraid.
Its not in my head.
Im merely awake.

Since when? I did the other day.
I contacted them through my alternate email account and explained my issue and asked about security questions being gone. I was contacted back not too long after anyway by the end of it I was back in. Now I have found that when my other email acted up and I had to change my password the security questions option was added to that one aswell.
So maybe contact them and say what is up and see what happens.
One of my friends claims not to show much emotion to anyone. He's lying. He shows plenty of emotion. It's not even that I'm picking up clues (although I do). He told me the first day he met me that he has depression. I wonder if he knows he's lying and is just saying that because he feels that's what he's supposed to do or if he doesn't notice that he shows emotion.
I want to stop thinking about him and I want to want to stop thinking about him.

Krispy Kreme is better.
We got a Krispy Kreme...everyone went for the novelty, but after that, that mofo crashed and burned lol. Everyone wanted Tims.
I think the card may be lost for good. I cleaned my room a while back, maybe it was stuck to something and ended up in the trash. That sucks.

Caleb maybe you will find it when you lose something else and try to find it. That seems to happen with me a lot.
I feel like I'm the only person in the world that prefers Dunkin Donuts to Krispy Kreme lol.
It does sound like a country singer. I think the original dude was a hockey player.
Yeah...I've found 2 $10 bills in the past few times cleaning my room. I could well stumble across the card too
He was a hockey player.

I'm a writer too 8) I think I'd have a very hard time writing about trans characters. I don't think I can fully grasp the mind of a transwoman or a non-binary person, not well enough to convince me I could do a good job, and writing a transman would hit too close to home.
One of the main characters I have in my fanfics is a transgirl. The story I wrote when I introduced her hit on some pretty heavy things: Like, there was one scene where she talked about how everyone hated her in her old town and she had considered suicide. Yeah, it was a heavy thing (along with some instances of her being called a "->-bleeped-<-" and a "freak" by some of the other kids, along with some other transphobic stuff) but it made sense in the overall story. But things worked out for her in the end since she finally finds some people that accept her as one of the girls and it's all good. (Not to mention that she has a couple of new friends that are more than willing to kick the crap out of anyone that screws with her.)

As to 20 msg per hour limit, it has always been there that I know of, I never ran into it though. I can't understand why anyone should.
I decided on a new ava. Might fix it up later.
should i use the wrong pronoun with someone in the recent future, please don't be offended, i'm mixing up everything, i'm even mixing up the pronouns of cis-people, who would just shrug it off, so as you can see, there's no ill will involved. I even get names of close acquaintances mixed up ATM. my mind is a bit of a mess at the moment. nothing bad though. I just want to let you all know just in case.

I tried calling yahoo's support phone number but no one was available. I couldn't even get through to the call. -sigh-
I was on hold for around half an hour this past weekend, had to listen to that 'y-a-a-a-h-o-o-oo' theme music the whole time, then an automated message came on and said no one will be able to take my call after all, told me to schedule a time on their website, couldn't find the right page. Very annoying. Not the worst customer service in the world, but they could do a lot better for sure. I did finally get my problem resolved, they were good once I got someone.

You were able to actually get far enough to be on hold? I envy you. When I call, I get some automated voice mail that basically tells me that number doesn't exist.
I am tempted to go on an angry Malachite rant about something, but I'm debating if I should.

Ragnar isn't what you'd call Mr. Sensitive, but I'm sure men were pretty tough on their women back in those times.
I'm surprised she wasn't tough right back.

She probably could do him some serious dirt, but like any woman anywhere, she's trying to keep the family intact while being married to a wild man.
Hey, she's a shield maiden. She may be as wild as he is.

It's funny thinking about how absorbed I get in these stories that I write. Even though most of them are fanfics, I've really got into a groove with them having certain weird little things that stick out. One thing that made me laugh was the realization that whenever Portia is drinking something, it's always a Cherry Coke.
Why? I have no idea. :D It just kind of happened that way. Laura is almost always drinking a bottle of water. I think there's been a few times when she's been drinking milk. But she usually has a bottle of water.
Certain other...things...as well. :D But I can't talk about that. :D ;)

Thinking about the design of cars and how they can generally be redesigned to reduce the risk of small pets being run over by them. Granted, it'll still hurt, but if they had some little shield thing at least the car wouldn't fracking crush them. (Okay maybe not that but other possible things too)

A lifetime of pain,or a quick death. I can't imagine being 'only' hurt and then fixed up after getting hit by anything going over 30 mph when you are the size of a small animal. That is
if someone chooses to fix them up.
Crap I wish I kept my Far Cry 3 preorder guide. The Far Cry Compliation is coming out next month.

So I found out that my mom has abestos in her chest which probably contributed to her having a lung infection. I'm sure all her years of smoking and drinking didn't help. I really do hope my mother cuts back on them (or at least smoking, but it should be both). She's going to have to now or face lung cancer. I'm thinking well if something happened, God forbid, where would I go? What wold be my plan? I really need to come up with something just in case.
Just the other week my sister wad admitted to the hospital and was close to death. She had some rare post-birth complication and got there just in time. Her blood pressure just kept rising and was like 215 over something and rising as one of the effects. The doctor said that he had only seen this happen with two other women post giving birth and they both died. I didn't realize how bad it was.

Reading gynecomastia forums to see what other men have to say...seems it takes over their lives just the same as our chests take over ours. I've read story after story of guys who are so depressed they don't want to leave the house, wear layers of shirts, use things to bind. It helps.

Some places will help you do an intervention where the family meets with her and you all bring up all the nasty baggage and things she said while under the influence, she can then make up her mind based on everyone's concerted complaints and the rep will take her to the treatment facility. A lot of health insurance policies will pay for it. I slammed dunked one of my sons into treatment for drugs years ago and he's clean and sober because of it. They piss and moan and kick at the goads initially, but eventually will tell you that they are glad they did it and that they really needed it.

Very true, I
think the feelings of cis-men versus trans-men appear to be very similar. My nephew had a bad case of gynecomastia and it was devastating for him. He was this happy go lucky young child back in the day, but puberty played a mean trick on him and it lead to extreme embarrassment and shame. He once starved himself down to around 155 lbs in college to rid the breast tissue (he's six foot three), didn't go away. He's had the surgery and it turned out great. But he's not the same to this day. I can't say it was this issue, but it damaged his self-esteem greatly and I don't feel it has ever recovered. It's so sad anyone allows a physical trait to do them damage. There's no shame in your physical presence ever... hmmm, I think that's worth saying to myself a few more times. :)
I'm thinking I'm going to have to get my peepers checked before too much longer. I have difficulty seeing the guide on the big tv from across the room. Getting old sucks...

You have to do it as a family and even with some of her friends that are equally convinced that she needs help. Alcohol can be clearly addictive to some folks, I know because my brother was blotto for 40 years and finally went to treatment and they helped him get over the hump. He's been sober for ten years and enjoys his life now more than ever.
Now I remember why I despise most mothers.

Depends. One of my favourite anime/manga is Ouran High School Host Club and I really like Benny and Joon and Ten Inch Hero (it takes place in a sandwich shop) which are rom coms.
Also, speaking of my avatar, he's going to have his own comic in February. I would be excited for the comic regardless, but am extra excited since Loki is going to be portrayed as bi.

Indeed I am a geek. I consider that to be a badge of honor. Of course, in the stories, Laura gets ripped by Kathy (her adopted sister) quite a bit. Kathy is always referring to Laura as a "geek", a "dork" and is always making cracks about Laura's relationship with Portia. But Kathy also rips on the rest of her friends. That's just part of who she is.

:D I have some parts that would make my mom respond in the same way (mostly the scenes of lesbian action between Laura and Portia BUT those are a VERY small part of the stories and don't really pop up that often. But they are there from time to time.) Most of the stuff revolving around them is just your basic lovey-dovey, mushy stuff which is why Kathy rips on them so much. But there a lot of other times where it's just your basic interactions in school, hanging out and the occasional indulging in illegal substances. :D :D

But they are there from time to time.) Most of the stuff revolving around them is just your basic lovey-dovey, mushy stuff which is why Kathy rips on them so much. But there a lot of other times where it's just your basic interactions in school, hanging out and the occasional indulging in illegal substances. :D :D
Nah , thats nothing compared to mine...there is a scene in which one of the characters has to rape his sister in front of the princess so that the princess will pity her and raise her ,,,cause he cant...then the princess and the girl fall in love with each other...its a long story...
still though , a lesbian scene would freak out every parent ,,,lol
btw I dont think I ve mentioned it but I enjoy furry anthropomorphic art too
there is also an anthro cat girl in my story XD

While people are suggesting anime...
Watch Baccano! and Durarara!! Seriously, they are fantastic anime that, for some reason, not enough people have watched.
I ve heard very possitive comments about those anime , yet I havent watched them

Not mine. My dad once told me he wished I was a lesbian and my parents are perfectly ok with my sister being bi. They weren't ok with me being bi because they would have preferred it if I liked only women. (Not because I'm trans. I came out as bi first and they told me that before they knew I was bi.)

A rape scene, eh?
:D Wow.
The heaviest thing I've had so far was back in fic #5 where I had Kathy's biological mother die in a car wreck that she causes while driving drunk (I wrote her as a hopeless alcoholic..something plucked from my own childhood, unfortunately) and she also kills Montgomery and his mother. To increase the drama, Dotty witnesses the whole thing and is totally screwed up from the experience. It ended up being a three part story and the first of many stories that become multi-parters.

I love that kind of drama

Yeah, I enjoy writing the dramatic stories. But I also have some that are more lighthearted. Like, the kids performing in the school talent show or a few them playing in a 'battle of the bands'. I wrote one sort of "mini story" that went along with the talent show one, where all they do is play a game of Monopoly at this girls house and then at the end of the night (which is actually dawn by this time) a few of the girls go out back for a smoke. ;)

Nah. I tend to keep the drama and humor separate most of the time. The only time I mixed in a sad moment was in one story I wrote called "The Ole Switcheroo". Kathy comes up with this idea for a Halloween party where the guys have to dress as girls and the girls dress as guys. BUT the girls don't let the guys know what is actually going until they get there. But much later in the story (after the boys are in drag), a certain
incident happens between Zipper and Kathy. Then once they get back to the Clubhouse and Kathy nonchalantly discusses the details (which freaks out a few people :D), Dotty makes the remark that 'now maybe some of you will stop trying to fix me up with Kathy'. BUT then she starts to think about the day she witnessed the death of Montgomery (whom she was always crushing on) and she gets really upset for a bit. But once a few of friends calm her down, things get back to normal.

Well, I like to write different sorts of storylines. While I enjoy writing "heavier" dramatic stuff. I like stuff that is more lighthearted as I said before. Writing stuff that was sad all the time would be boring (and depressing :D). I prefer to have a "light at the end of the tunnel" eventually in the dramas.

with a lot of romance that is...I cant do anything else , and it kinda gets depressing haha
and the light at the end of the tunnel is pretty much what I do too, or maybe even though there is light at the end , darkness is still kinda there...kinda

You have to do it as a family and even with some of her friends that are equally convinced that she needs help. Alcohol can be clearly addictive to some folks, I know because my brother was blotto for 40 years and finally went to treatment and they helped him get over the hump. He's been sober for ten years and enjoys his life now more than ever.
I talked to my oldest sister about it and she was a bit hesitant about it at first because she knows about my mother's attitude, but she told me to look into seeing of my mom's particular insurance would cover it and take it from there.
Well, I think it's time for a New One (https://www.susans.org/forums/index.php/topic,157850.new.html#new)
