I saw a magazine headline today that said that Angelina Jolie has begun raising her daughter Shiloh as a boy. There was a picture of her in boys clothes with a boy's haircut. It said that Angelina now calls Shiloh, John. I wonder if this is actually true or if the tabloids are just creating a story where there isn't one? If the child is really transgendered than I can see it, but if it is another one of Jolie's moments of insanity, then I hope something is done to stop her.

Well, I am as dressed as I can be, waiting to go to my counsiling session tonight. My mood is all over the place, as I am nervous, frustrated that I cant be more feminine, and looking forward to it all at once.

My first reaction when I come onto the Home Page is:

Hi,

If you read my other Story, An Unfinished Symphony, you know that I blogged while I was posting it. The blog drew different kinds of comments than the story did and allowed me to discuss what was happening in the story without being bound by the narrative.

If you have an questions, let me know!

You folks are probably getting tired of me, but I use the blog to remind me I'm working on Transition.

I've now lost 70 (that's SEVENTY!!!) pounds since January first. I've now reached 33% of the weight I HAVE to lose before hormones, before surgery. I just KNEW I was going to not have made it this week. My mom's 75th birthday, (awww I shoulda lost 75) was this weekend, and I had CHOCOLATE cake with frosting on Saturday. I was prepared to not have lost any this week, and I'm down another 5 pounds this week!!!

I've just made an interesting discovery about my Word 2007, Windows Explorer, and Asstr.org.

I used to be able to easily delete files in Word, and I could easily find the file path. Now, I can't. I also used to be able to locate files very easily in Windows Explorer, and now I notice that there are some files that I can see In "Recent Documents" in Word 2007 that I can not find with Windows Explorer, and that leads me to suspect that they are in actuality "Links" to those files. I have opened a couple of them and watched Word, go to the internet and download those files from ASSTR.org.

I was wondering if we have any girls who have any experience with the Cleveland, Ohio area. I could be accompanying a girlfriend (she's GG) out there to be with her as her room mate for a school year as she finishes her Masters Degree.

I saw that there was no notice about "Once the Hero part 13" being posted at Stardust and just had to mention it. Part thirteen has quite a bit of action going on and was left in a cliffhanger as was the earlier parts. Will the heroes win? Will the bomb destroy everything both above and below ground? Can Capt. Blazzar survive? You will have to read it and then wait for next week for the next exciting chapter of this excellent story.

I am me

I've spent the better part of the last two days lost in remembrance of those I loved who are gone. My parents, my best friend ever, Mikey, John Denver, Mary Travers, Mamma Cass, Karen Carpenter, KimEm, and so many others.

Memories. They come as comfort and pain together, wrapped in smiles and tears, heartbreak and wonderment. I've lost or left so many friends, in so many places that I cannot recall some of them. Imagine that. People who I called friends and was called friend by them...and I can't remember their names...or even their faces. Yet I miss them, one and all.
