I'm rejoining my Friday group, and building a character to play.

I arrived in Melbourne yesterday midday, to a humongous hug from my Lisa (in transit). ^____________________________^ We've had most of yesterday and all of today to just >ENJOY< ourselves, and things are going so wonderfully great!

I just wanted to share! ^__________~

The fuse I lit nearly two weeks ago is about to reach its end...

...I feel like I should be wishing people a Happy Tax Day, but that isn't today this year.

Some of you may have known

Today, I baked bread. ^__^ One loaf of wheaten bran bread, one of a rye-buckwheat country pumpernickel, and two of very, very complicated Russian black bread that's almost as good (but still different from) the bread I remember from Sankt-Peterburg. That's all. Nothing earth-shattering. Just a free day, and a plan to bake, and a few hours of effort, and I have product that I'd have to pay $25-30 US for at market (assuming I could find a market here that would actually >make< these, especially the black bread). ^__^ moderately #happy

So, my weekly Exalted trpg game is having to end

In an IRL conversation and then in another with Sarah Lynn Morgan, I got to thinking about names, and how important it is to a person to be called by a name they've internalized. From the time most people are little, they hear their name again and again. It becomes >their< word, a very personal, emotional thing. If there is a negative feeling associated with that name (as may be the case when one has massive problems with their gender, and their name is very gender-bound to the painful gender) then the name becomes painful to hear.

I've been trying to find a way of presenting this in a way that doesn't leave me shaking in frustration and anger. I haven't been able to find one, so I'll just post the address the website:
