I refuse to live in fear! Come hell or high water I will not back down! I will live my life!
But you have no life.
Ha. Even that won't stop me.

I will protect even those I hate, so long as it is right.

Haha, nope. I'm not that northern. :P

I'm thinking about sending a letter to my ex in England to tell her my feelings about her. I'd love to be friends with her again.

Thinking that Mr Hockey seems like a really nice guy. :)



Also, LOOK AT MY NEW JUMPER! So proud to say I made it all by myself! I believe it's the only piece of clothing I own with a bit of pink on it..... :p

The Walking Dead game has almost made me cry twice. This game is so powerful.

I need to clean my apartment, including going through all our stuff and throw away/donate things we no longer use, complete two lab reports, prepare another, go to class, go to two labs, go grocery shopping, and get enough sleep today, tomorrow, and thursday. Oh yeah and chemistry homework. I feel exhausted just thinking about it on top the tiredness I already feel from being sick.

I have this scrape near my heel from my new shoes. It hurts when I walk and I'm not sure exactly how I got it.

The wifi here is so annoying. Not stable. Can barely post let alone email.

I wonder what it would be like to be in Vegas as a female. Maybe I don't want to know. As a man I have had so many prostitutes solicit me. And people trying to attract me to "gentlemans clubs." The word gentleman being used very loosely...now that is something I don't like about being seen as male.

I also wonder about how my dad feels about all this. Like if he has accepted it or not. Obviously he has seen all this go down. Everywhere we go it is "sir". And he noticed all my facial hair in the car and told me I should use an electric shaver like he does and then proceeded to explain how to use it. He has also been...um, well, a little more graphic in his conversations. I was laughing at this strip club named Treasures (like wtf kind of name is that? Who comes up with this stuff?) and he goes "yep, you give us treasure, we give you t*ts." He has never really said anything that sexual to me before and it has come up a few other times. It is...weird because I only ever really make dirty jokes with my brother. But it may just we'll be trying to relate to me as a son instead. I think I will stick to dirty talk with my brother though lol, it is just weird when your dad says that word.

Despite the more distasteful parts of being seen as male, it feels good to know I am seen as me. In my city it just seems hard to feel comfortable. People who know me from before, people who know too much about trans people but don't know how to be respectful...here I don't have any of that anxiety because it just never happens.

It's still weird to look at other men and realize that I don't appear my age. I look like a nerdy high school boy with manboobs. Like a 7 year age difference. And it's hard not to get in that mindset either because in many ways I do feel like so many boys do, waiting for the full beard, adjusting to physical and social change, etc. but that doesn't change the fact that I am 24.

I told you that would happen!  ;D

Yup, your dad is making an effort to bond with you, that's pretty cool really!

Did this today. Filled one carload for the recycle center and another for Sally Ann.

I'm thinking that if I keep seeing terms that I feel are slurs and downright distasteful being tossed about willy nilly, it might be time to just bail for good.

I did the T-25 Day One workout with my sister.  She is really going to start pushing me to work out and she said she isn't going to give up on me.  We are hanging out more while she has two weeks of her maternaty leave left.  I wonder if I will eventually feel close enough to come out to her in the near future.

I'm thinking you will. I do wonder if it will really happen.

I think I look like an idiot right now crying over a video game. I just finished The Walking Dead game and I don't think I've ever cried over a game before.
