I’m beginning to think that I’m evil.

I have finally written a cereal on purpose and not just ad hoc. Not that the readers will be able to tell the difference.

Of course it’s a “Bru” cereal which is why I’m not calling it a serial.

Some will think it will snap, crackle and pop while others will think it’s just soggy. Most who read will find themselves in the shoes of Oliver Twist in the orphanage.

“Conform!” really was a pilot. Depending on the response I’d post the rest (I’m not saying whether the criteria was “below” or “above” a certain limit).

I have a serious character flaw.
I want to please people. I almost always live up to people’s expectations. I feel uncomfortable when I can’t do that.

That is very double edged. On one hand I have lived up to some pretty high expectations and enjoyed and benefited from that.

Well, not really but admit the title did catch your attention.

However, for the last month I DID live in a catholic student residence for girls, about half of whom still are teenagers.

In the ongoing process of selecting the new leader for the Conservative and Unionist Party and thus for the next UK Prime Minister there appears to be two main issues. How much they want to lower taxes (much, very much or extremely much) and the war on woke. In particular trans rights (or rather the limitiation thereof) appears to one of the most pressing problems the UK faces.

Re-reading some old comments I was reminded of how what is regarded as male or female garb depends on time and place.

In many countries men walk around in what really is the same thing as dresses. In Suva I saw a bunch of teenage schoolboys in their school uniform skirts. And what about the cute little skirts Greek guard soldiers wear?

If I remember correctly Romans despised Britons as barbarians for wearing bifurcated garments on their lower body.

I just learned that the history books got it all wrong.

On December 16, 1773 there was a large gathering of transsexuals in Boston. The partying got a little bit out of hand and some damage to property was done. Some partipants had overdone their "war paint" more than a little which subsequently has led to misunderstandings.

I'm very happy to be able to set things straight ;)

This blog expresses curiousity. It's NOT a complaint

Just wondering what makes the music business such a fertile field for the authors here when it comes to young prodigies.

This blog is based entirely on my memory, which is fallible, and I have certainly missed many stories. However, my impression is that the frequency of stories about a young M2F person making a splash in music as a performer is much higher than other fields with the possible exception of modelling.

Well, since we now are three authors who have written stories based on
“Thumping Hearts, Broken Hearts, Hearts United" I, well with some prodding, decided to ask for a new universe. Erin kindly obliged (Thank you Erin!).

After reading some blogs here I realised that what we really need is a better Muse trap.

When I saw that my latest story had 1547 reads I was reminded of the year 1547 when for a few days a truly formidable (positively or negatively) set of monarchs ruled in various countries in Europe at the same time:

Just for fun I played around with the notion of having my fictional characters all get together at a party. Doing this I realised I lack fantasy when it comes to naming the boys. Most are called Peter, if not they are usually named Harry.
