"Talk to your physician to see if this new medication to prevent bone loss is for you!"

The side effects are loss of vision,
internal bleeding,
liver failure,
loss of kidney function,
your dick could fall off.

WTF??? 

You forgot to mention bone loss as a possible side effect!

xD I converted another person to ship Banner x Stark and Ruffalo x Downey, Jr.  Muahahaha!  I feel accomplished. xD

XD That's awesome!  >.> Every time I see the show I giggle.  They had to do the shot with Stark poking Banner several times because Stark kept poking Banner in the ass.   Did you know that the blueberries weren't scripted either, but that Downey just likes to have food on set? XD

Haha, I didn't know that!  I knew that the shawarma scene at the end was filmed right before the movie was released.

So I've got three names in school- Max, birthname, nickname. Though the middle is dying out.
...Though I ran into people I haven't seen in a long time and before I could even speak they were all "HEY BIRTHNAME HOW'VE YOU BEEN WHERE WERE YOU WOMAN" and then talked about me in the third person in a rush of female pronouns. I mentally facepalmed a hole in the universe, said some hi's, and then walked off.

I also still have two girls chasing after me, one of which kinda scares me. She's the crazy obsessed stalker type, but still my friend so I don't really want to be an a-hole to her. Tried telling her that I was taken and also gay (I mean come on, I have a boyfriend. That isn't so far from the truth) but she laughed it off. They both enjoy tousling my hair because it's long, and I was threatened when I said I wanted to cut it.

...Yay high school drama? It was bound to happen at some point, there's almost no boys in that school so the few of us that go there are hunted down by girls.

I'm so glad they put that in. xD

@ Liminal:  Welcome to high school.  Girls take a little bit of time to learn you're not interested.  What you need to do is firmly tell them to stop X and repeat it consistently until they get the message.  And letting them tousle your hair and similar things, that's not really telling them to stop.  

High school girls will take just about any sign of affection [touching them outside of a hug, letting them touch you, etc.] as a potential sign of you being interested in them.  I saw it constantly while I was in high school and I saw it repeatedly while student-teaching. 

I get there not being a lot of boys, but boundaries still need to be set. 

that today is the day for accidentally alienating people o.0;

But....she sneaks up on me and does it ;-;
I told her to stop around a billion times, she said no. It's somewhat amusing but starting to get really bothersome, I just don't want to come off as a dick. Bah, I don't know. Secretly I like the attention 

If she keeps it up I will get annoyed and that'll override my built-in "must not be a jerk" personality core.

Try typing "White people are" and "Black people are" in Google search, then witness the results.

Apparently, white people are "boring annoying demons" and black people are "funny annoying gods."

@ Liminal:  Sometimes you have to be a bit firm with it.  Not mean, but make it known you don't appreciate it.  It can take a bit, including brushing her hand away when she does it. 

@ ZoeM:  Well, phooey.  I don't want to be boring or annoying. XD

I googled it and then clicked the "white people are demons"...oh dear.  This stuff is mean. D:

Finally resuming HRT & feel great about my decision. No idea why I did not continue years ago. Nice shopping trip this morning at local thrift stores as Francis, no one noticed anything other than a nice woman shopping. I love to go shopping! Love thrift stores, such great values if you shop slowly.

Ah, but she's taller and heavier than me which means she can take me by surprise, pick me up, and then do it- meanwhile I'm afraid I'll hurt her if I try to get her off me. I'll just sit down and have a serious talk with her about it, because undoubtedly she will stalk and find me on the train come Monday.

I have walked in your shoes FrancisAnn, so you're not all alone in this!

Arrrggggh. Mom, I'm not a lesbian. Jeez.
And stop buying womens' shoes, not only don't they fit in the right spots but there's no way in hell I can get orthotics in there with my feet. They're too narrow.

Lol, your mom thinks you're a lesbian, Max? Don't you have a boyfriend? =/ I mean, even if you had a gf you obviously wouldn't be a lesbian, but yeah. Mothers can be strange.

I used to be really healthy. I worked at a natural foods store, knew a fair amount about nutrition and good food choices, I was in good shape and exercised regularly. Then my partner broke up with my 2 years ago and I'm now 80 pounds heavier, eat the crappiest food imaginable, and hate the prospect of getting my heart racing. There's nothing wrong with being a bigger person, but there is when it's starting to affect your health, confidence, and sense of general well-being.

But the breakup was 2 years ago, the grieving is over, I like someone else, my blood pressure went from optimal to high, and if I lose weight I'll have a male shape now, not a female shape. So it seems I have run out of excuses to be lazy every time I decide to lose the fats.

I remember that pain. D: When I had braces on my legs I was always struggling with shoes.  Then I got these awesome braces that were super thin (and shaped differently than what I had as a kid). o.o  They were able to fit in with any shoe I wore. x3

Yeah, I have these stupid clunky inserts that are supposed to help with flat feet but THEY ONLY WORK IF YOU CAN ACTUALLY FIT THEM IN THE SHOE 

And yeah, I do have a boyfriend. She tells me he's really a girl just because he isn't super macho, imagine her reaction if she found out about the crossdressing. And no, I wouldn't be a lesbian. But she's one of those people who thinks that unless you know from the minute you're born, any ->-bleeped-<- is related to sexual orientation. Packing is for sexual satisfaction according to her and it's sick. So confused by her antics, I'd love to know where she gets her information from.

I'm going to slap myself for this but I'm almost considering taking my stalker on a couple of dates to: a) Make her stop bothering me and b) piss off my mother. Almost. It'd be wrong to date her for revenge. It'd make my boyfriend happy though, he's amused at how much of a chick magnet I'm becoming lately XD

Alright, now to go slap some sense back into my head. Bad Max.

Max, what if you wore a hat?  That should protect your hair from being tousled.

Don't do that.  Once you take her on a couple of dates, even fake ones, the stalker is going to grow far more clinging and she sure as hell won't take no as an answer.  I also wouldn't count on your boyfriend being happy that you took a girl out regardless of if it's a fake date and regardless of if he finds it amusing you're a chick magnet.

My advice is to not do the dates.  It's going to lead to hurt feelings from everybody and can potentially encourage the stalker to grow worse in her behavior.

@ Anna:  I forgot about hats. xD It might help dissuade them.
