I came out to several (abt 9) of my friends, from high school and work over the past 3 days..  3 have not answered me, at all, but my PMs to them, have been read. (FB).  I will give them time. if they do not reply, or drop me, it's tough, but I'll move on.
The other 6..  OMG, I could not be more happy that they accept, abt half do not understand, but they are trying, and thats all I can wish for.  One of them, one of my halloween haunter friends (LOVE HER!), has a couple friends that are also trans, and says thats how she can totally accept me, without question.  She asked her friends if its ok to have us meet.. and now, we are good friends.  Lots of tips, and advice, and hugs.

Plus..  and this is really the greatest thing ever...  two of the friends I came out to, well.. tho we've known each other several years in the halloween haunting/decorating community, and were really close..  I had no idea  they are trans also!!  I didnt know abot them, and they didnt know abt me.  When I wrote them, with my coming out letter, they thot they were being set up.  Took just a few questions back and forth to really have them accept that I was outting myself, not them.  They did not tell me abt themselves until 10-15 posts later.  And then OMFG, the water works began!!  took over half hour to stop crying!  They also said there are quite a few others that I know, that are also transgirls.. but they would talk to them first before they say who.  I am really good with that.

So in all, my life, tho it's going downhill very fast now, with my wife/family, my t-friends list, and non-t (will not ever say normal/regular) friends, is getting larger, and warmer.  A couple of them want to meet for coffee or brkfast when I land in their towns.  So I have lots more crying to look forward too, I better start hydrating now!

I think my boyfriend's mother is warming up to me.

I booked a ticket to go see my boyfriend at the end of the month. I am so excited that I can't even eat  xD

I passed the first round of qualifications for a public library job and have been assigned a date for the second round: a library work test. As my first job was in a public library, I think I've got a pretty good chance at this one.

I'm so very happy for you Paula! This is amazing!, that you've known these girls and didn't know their stories, and now they've accepted you and are sharing tips and idea's with you. I wish you long lasting forever friendships. I have a few tears forming just reading this. You've made my day!!

Noise.

My CD finally came in the mail.  It's a Christan rap CD that I lost ages ago.  I'm glad to have it back in my hands.

Watsky's new album comes out tomorrow! OMG OMG OMG!
I've been raping the replay button on all his songs on Genius.

Seeing the interview Pastor Steven Anderson did with Dr. James White on the subject of KJV Onlyism.  I've been waiting for that for a loooong time.

I made a new friend this morning and got a great compliment. In between awesome discussions of theology, philosophy, sexuality, identity, science and music...I was asked a couple questions that threw me off. Followed by "Yeah, you're not messing around, you really are a woman." with me saying: "...Ummmm...thanks?". He did follow up with why he felt he considered me as a woman and I was blushing the whole time. But, it made me feel good to hear that validation.

The woman who called myself and a female coworker "ladies" the other week saw me with a guy today and called us "boys" lol. I guess someone clued her in that I wasn't female, or she took a closer look.

I also got some words of reassurance from my boss, who knows about my situation (kinda). I won't write exactly what she said here, for my own privacy, but she told me something I really needed to hear from someone regarding this whole thing.

Always better to not overthink things and then get overwrought by something that later turns out to be nothing.

Getting my internet back made me happy. Also, having such kind & caring neighbors who've been helping me out.

My mom is amazing, showed her a girly picture of me for the first time and now we're talking about going shopping this weekend.

I have finally been given the paperwork to get my blood work done for hrt yaaaay

I feel asleep during electrolysis yesterday!

Just chatting to a variety of queer people today, fun

Filled out all the paperwork to change my name, got it sitting on my desk while waiting for the last documents to arrive in the mail

I got called this morning from a job interview I had yesterday and got invited for a 2nd interview!
