Just thought I'd start a thread to ask what everyone's up to, how you're feeling, what's been bugging you or making you feel great. Just general chit-chat. I noticed in the Androgyne board someone started a "How Are you Feeling" thread, thought that was kind of cool and thought, why not start one here, too?

But you know how, when asked what's up or "how are you?" the typical reply is "not bad", "alright", "no complaints" or "I'm good"?

Here's your chance to answer honestly. So, what's up bro?

Sounds good to me (After all it's one more thing that can help me procrastinate from working on resumes)

I'm a weird mix of good and not so much at the moment.  I had a great day until I kept being called she at square dancing.  I normally expect it, but as it's an LGBT group I dance lead (and respond to calls directed to "men").  This makes me comfortable, and I tend to forget about my body.  Because of this, female pronouns are kind of a slap of reality.

So anyways, now I'm sitting here wondering if I should send out a group email or something specifically asking for people to use male pronouns.  I also might just speak to people individually as it comes up because I don't want to make a big deal out of it, but it's a pretty large group (~70 people).  It's a pretty friendly group of people, so I'm not too worried about bringing it up.

Good luck with that, Lee. I'd probably go the email route, I'm horribly non-confrontational unless it's a fight. I got "woman"d at the laundromatt last night, in spite of my goddamn scruff, and it pissed me off.

I'm...eh.
Had an inordinately good day, everyone passed out, and now I'm up by myself as usual and it's just kind of bugging me.

bah. That sucks guys. Sorry to hear that. I got "she'd" this week too but luckily no co-workers were around.

Today, I'm sick. I had the ->-bleeped-<-s and threw up at work. I'm glad to say it, because I'm sick of saying "I'm great" or "I'm pretty good" for four hours straight to customers at work. I don't feel good. At all.

whats up you say. well a mix of anxiety, giddiness and utter self disgust thrown in. to be honest i fell of the wagon this week went to a party n had some smoke n a drink. played poker.

now all the guys i work with have a gang up on the newbie to make em reconsider a sex change thing happening. i got some good mates there who tell em to lay off cos they wanna get in my pants. a mate confessed to being bi to me. so i give him advice. which he thinks is cool.

other than that i feel bad cos a previous bf used y name to get with a chick. so Ive gone off at him for saying that i want a threesome with her n him cos she a lesbian. i was like wtf. seriously i told him if he did it again id rip his genitals off n use em as a packer.

he apologised and corrected his mistake. hell hath no fury like me and my bad moods. but generally OK. just noticing the small things. guys call in me bro. n parents calling me a she. but its helped that my depression has eased back enough for me not to hide under a rock. n happy i managed to learn how to post properly from my phone..

I'm feeling pretty good. Listening to Links 2 3 4 by Rammstein.

Except for the fact that I have AFJROTC and detention today. That should suck pretty hard. Mostly because I lost my AFJROTC belt, and I'm probably going to have to spend some of the money I've been saving for a binder on that. But I have rotc early in the day, so at least I'm getting it over with quickly.

I also had a dream last night about Left 4 Dead, which made me wake up in a random awesome mood for some odd reason. I love that game way to much. The Tanks were pretty much my favorite character the whole way through for some reason.

Well, now I have to go spray water on my rotc shirt so it doesn't look like a rumpled mess (don't feel like ironing it). I'm also going to the guidance counselor to switch out of afjrotc and hopefully my world history class. Is October to late for that? I hope not. That'd make my day a little less cool.

hmm im okay but very tired.

I am sick, so I been sleeping alot and try to do everything right to get healthy as fast as posible since im going to the city next weekend and i dont want to miss it. I really miss alot of people and friends, and generally to be in my hometown.

well of corse it's not nice to be sick but I like the fact I can relax the whole day, and my dad got medicin for me and my neighbour help me like getting me food and so so I feel happy.
-
on the sex chance thing and school plan its kinda been alittle more complicated.
I am going to japan soon, and I hoped I could get my surgery done before the trip, but sadly no, it seam very unlickey.
so insteed I guess I have to wait sniff.. I hate waiting. and I found it hard to get in contact with the guy i needed to call to ask for information, luckely I got in contact with him now so I get some information and its nice.

the biggest problem so far have been PE, its very hard for me when I dont have top surgery because im contanly scared of anyone touching my cheast, and even if they dont then the sweat is kinda annoying when your wearing a binder.

I'm watching The F Word, and that always makes my day :'P. I'm bored as hell because it's raining outside and there's nothing to do xD. Not like I can do anything anyway. Yesterday while I was out my binder damn near triggered an asthma attack @_@. So I'm taking a break and staying indoors a few days since I conveniently have no reason to go out :'P. I'm also plotting my Halloween costume. I'm gonna do Cousin Itt :'D! If I can get monies for a Nerf gun in time, I'm going as a more bad-ass form of Cousin Itt.

Also a bit worried. I might be pregnant, and that's so not good @_@. I already know that if I am that I'm terminating. I guess this is why people don't believe me when I say I'm a Republican xD. I'm a total walking contradiction ;'D. Oh well, just a few more days until I know for sure. First time in years I've hoped for my period to come @_@.

Sorry dude, don't want to be an ass... but just one word: condoms.

I'm happy that I don't have work today.

Just ate dinner, had spaghetti.

I have a ton of homework to do, but I'm going to go watch Dexter instead. I'm on Season 2 Episode 8. I'm so hooked on this show.

I'm also trying to think of a gamertag. Feel free to give me suggestions.

My blood pressure is higher now while fasting than it was at my last check up where I drank a red bull before my appointment. I was 129/85 and now I'm 140/100. I've been trying to eat right and be more active but it doesn't seem to be helping.
I'm hoping my blood sugar is alright and my cholesterol is okay. I really don't like how much T has been screwing up my health. My room smells like gas, and it's giving.me a really bad headache.
I also was forced to quit my job after I was accused of stealing. So...things aren't going so great, but on the plus side I got a pretty good haircut.

cool thread... well, today i'm just exhausted. was supposed to go to a men's group at school tonight but ended up staying at work late and missed it. it's the first one of the season and they're once a month so i'm hoping to make it to the next one. been juggling classes, internship, and work and just want a break from it all. looking forward to thanksgiving break.

A little bit of Frustration, some anxiousness and dissapointment, all rolled up together.   

My car is due for an inspection, and because its an old car and starting to have old car problems, I'm a little worried about it passing, and if it doesn't pass, how I would pay for the repairs.   As much as I dread having to dump a ton of money into the car, there is no way I could afford a new one either.  I'm probably having shoulder surgery, hopefully in about a month, and I'm going to call to schedule it tomorrow.  Because its related to an accident at work, everything so far has been paid by workmans comp, but  I'm worried that they wont pay for the surgery, since it was the second time I dislocated it, and they will claim its a pre-existing condition.

I recently applied for a new position at work, which would be a promotion within my department.  I think my chances are good, but I have no idea how long they are going to leave it open for people to apply or when they will announce it.  I just want to know already if I got it or not, since it would mean a little bit more money, and could help with the financial frustration.

I have been riding horses since I was 12, about 15 years.  I had to give up on a horse I was leasing and send him back to the owner about 3 months ago, and then had a horrible day at a competition with a different horse, and decided I needed some time away from the barn to figure stuff out.  I kept thinking about going back to ride again, and meaning to go, but things kept coming up that made it not work out, and then I got sick, and then I dislocated my shoulder.  I finally went back tonight, and got on a horse again after months away, and realized how much I missed it and how much I want to ride again.  I can't really ride right now or work on the farm with the way my shoulder is, and if I have the surgery, I won't be able to untill march.

My desk emits a strange, "harshly chemical" smell, something like solvents, and it might be that the heat of my tea cup is actually melting some of the paint. This smell has given me a slight headache. I'm going to quit coffee because it messes with my stomach and I'm afraid of addiction. Be prepared for more posts along the vein of "oh GOD, this headache, it's killing me.. why did I give up coffee?!?" I also found out something about my parents that I wish I hadn't. I am becoming worse at socialising with my classmates. This is very bad. I think I'm having horrible grades as well.

oh god the ->-bleeped-<-s at work! like, the runs? I am ok with ->-bleeped-<-ting at work but I cant imagine having the runs at work, that sucks. and yeah I hate when customers return my "how are you" cause Im just thinking "uh, i am at work, how do you think i am doing?"

I am doing decent today, i got employee of the month, and I got gift cards recently for free so i bought 2 new colognes, halston and quorum, they smell great and I love cologne.

Having some trouble with my mom, because she saw pictures of herself, thought she was fat and got high on zanax and sat on the couch mumbling and I had to stay up and make sure she didnt fall or anything, so i woke up pretty mad at her, and she demanded I tell her why i was mad, so i did, and now she is mad that i am mad at her. and then she related her feelings of unhappiness with her body to me being trans.  Which was pretty uncool for me, because she can change her weight, I have to take hormones all my life, save up 8 grand to get rid of my chest, and will always have to deal with not having male genitals.  I told her "I just don't see those things as being comparable" So, needless to say i am pretty annoyed.

Good thread idea, we should get this made into a sticky, or a tacky, whatever they call it.

Sorry dude, don't want to be an ass... but just one word: condoms.

Alergic to latex, and non-latex condoms are freaking impossible to obtain in California. Those I can find are ridiculously expensive. I still practice safe sex though, I'm not insane @_@. Accidents happen though XP. If they didn't, my boyfriend wouldn't be here :'P. Thankfully if I'm not pregnant it'll mean I inherited my mother's low fertility.

NICE avatar Ryno. Effing love Bender/Futurama.

I'm doing pretty good. I'm sort of nervous and excited. I made an appointment to talk with the counseling and psychological services at my University to talk about being trans/to see if there's anything they can do for me (providing therapy/possible t script). I made it a few weeks ago and it's already coming up soon (Tuesday) which ironically is also National Coming Out Day, (my school is holding an event for it, which I thought is cool). I'm nervous about it because I've never truly opened up about being trans to anyone besides my girlfriend, and I don't really talk about it much. It's exciting because I'm hoping they can help (I can't afford it otherwise) and I recently found out that housed in the same building (Apparently my school has one of the best recreation and wellness centers in the country) we also have a gyno, pharmacy and doctors (which I knew about) as well as a lab- so I might be able to get EVERYTHING done at school. Again, trying not to get my hopes up too high, but it's still exciting.

I've ordered from this site before. And wow the non latex ones are expensive.
The boxes say its from Live LLC or something like that.

Cool thread man 

Today has been a pretty good day. Got my lab results in so I know I'm reasonably healthy which is always good news and less stress. Today is kinda boring though. I have a yard sale and Pride on Saturday but nothing to do in between so it's one of those hurry up and wait type days. Got some of my grades in today as well so I'm pretty sure I'll be off of academic probation which means less stress too.

ouch today im in pain, and tired.

I talked with my dad about top surgery and for a reason we got into the point that how well it would be also would depend on my skin how easy I got scars and marks and how fast they would reheal.

I got one of the guys from karate to hit me, just to check if I even where able to get marks and how much,
turn out I am pretty hard to get marks actually but he wanted one so he have hit me a couple of time, in his room after we got to sleep.
with 2 fangirls, and our little bromance sleeping together, + the fact I the next day came out of the room looking as being in pain somewhere somewhere, I bet they have had there fantasy's.

but no reality suchs, since he said he might be 10% into guys I tried alittle for the night, but no, only 10% and only into people who are older,
and my pain is of corse in my leg and not in my ***

LOL but there is a party tonight so its gonna be okay.
