I mean, I'm not complaining because I have several stories that just sort of remain unfinished, and I think people like that are bloody awful. So, I resolve not to do that any more.
Anyhow, I was wondering what happened to Ice Tiger and the story called Anari something...can't exactly remember who the authors are, so I just can't bug them directily. There is another one about people being on a slave ship and escaping...
My stars and garters, I never ever thought that I would be writing a blog like this one!
So, um... I never ever thought that I'd ever use my little hot dog wrapper, so I have been really lax about dilating and last month noticed that it has narrowed to far less than the size of a hot dog. When I got it, the thing would take a polish sausage, but due to my own negligence, well you know.
Information for a story is what I need. I don't want to talk about IED's, guns, bombs or anything like that.
What I need is information about the living conditions of mountain country Afghan people who are touched by the Taliban. We can talk a little about the Burqua, but having worn one, I am pretty much up on that.
OK folks, listen up. This is really good video series by ABC and I think it is important enough that I wrote them to thank them for running such a complete and caring series. The world is getting better for us. Be brave.
Before you start reading this article, just remember that we are winning this battle that has taken us so long and caused many of us to shed so many tears.
I am reading Julie Cole's, "A Change In Lifestyle", and though I am pretty certain where it is going, it makes me feel really unsteady and um odd. I'll likely keep reading it.
Christmas has, in the last 6 years been really hard because it was 7 years ago, on the 18th that my whole world exploded; having been outed, thrown out and all that dreadful stuff. Now, finally I am able to say that life is treating me really well and I am fulfilled.
So, I see in the news this morning that the roll out for the XXX web sites is today. I wonder, with some trepidation, who gets to choose who gets that designation? Fro those with that designation, will it be like a dead albatross around the neck of the hapless sailor, or will it be like honey for ants?
I don't plan to let my virus guard regulate my contact with those sites; it is for me to decide.
Much to my astonishment, I have been invited to a muggle writer's group through my church. I am frankly astonished and wonder how long this will last. The word from a friend of mine who secured the invitation for me is that if these people like your work, it will go to print.
So, now is the time to see if I have real talent, and am I up to writing withing the constraints of what adults see as proper spelling and sentence construction? Up until now, I have written for fun, and have ignored the rules of most of the editor mongers. I just wanted to have fun! :)
This has to be the happiest day I can remember in 7 years. I got the results for a medical test (Karyotype) I had last week and I am officially in the ranks of the AIS. Which means that I can be declared officially a woman in the eyes of a certain organisation.
When I can get my feet back on the floor, I have to run out to the doctor's office to sign the release for the Doctor to share it with the office of the Presidency. This means a great deal to me. Please share in my joy!
As a woman, I enjoy many types of things in my life. I love a good walk, bike ride, road trip, chocolate cake, fettuccine Alfredo, my fish tail skirt, my new hearing aids, a clean kitchen, the smell of a bubble bath, newly done nails, and the days that I can wield my magic and make my dozens of hairs look like a head full.
I like a good story, both if I have written it, and if someone else has. I like science fiction, historical fiction, history, and the bible.
Much to my utter dismay, AS IF, someone took exception to something I wrote and it made me feel quite sad. So, I took my utter sadness to a published author who I know has taken a great deal of criticism and gone on living. I did not actually think I would get a reply very soon, if at all, but at least I had tried.
Much to my astonishment, I received a reply within hours! What was said felt so profound to me that I decided to share it here, though I left the confidential part out:
In my writing of this next short story, I really did exercise my poetic license to the point that I might get a healthy fine. I hope you all like it, though I know some will not. I think I will call it "Battle Field To Cradle". I plan to publish it shortly after this blog entry. And yes, it is TG, and with some spanking (my trade mark) and some chains and bondage along the way, though none of it is sexual, she just needs a bit of correction for a short time is all.
I've been beavering away at two different stories that are funny at times and quite poignant others, and I am doing an extensive scriptural study along with exhaustive notes and am feeling quite drained.
Both stories were meant to be dramas with postively comical moments in them and now I find it quite difficult to keep them that way, at times breaking out in tears, and thunder for no real reason. My God, I thought my drama days were long over!
Come on, can writing really be that draining or am a simply a selfish wimp?
Well, I am beavering away on a story and have come to an impasse regarding how to spell some words. The premise of the story is that it is written with the primary protagonist doing some of the naration, and she is from Worcester, UK. So, I've been trying to write using correct UK spelling and must admit that at least in this last chapter, I am mucking it up.
I've come within a few miles of the UK, having flown over enroute to Kenya, but that is all I have.
I thought I would share this for the benefit of those contemplating getting SRS. Hopefully you will be wiser because of what I am going to share.
Mine was done in Bankok, Thailand by Dr Kamon on August 15, 2006.
From the beginning Dialation of the Faux Vagina was problematic. The actual surgery was extremely simple and I had an almost pain free recovery. During post op Dilations of three times a day, I managed to achieve 1 1/4 inch diameter and 4 1/2 inch depth. When I left, I felt well but weak.
For a few days I have been looking for my 38B padded push up bra, as I have a nice little dress that really makes the girls stand out. UM well, I'm not 38, but I use an extender and that brings it out to my 42. And before anyone says it, no it does not work that well because the straps always fall off my shoulders.
So, anyhow, my black bra was missing. :( So I made do and went out. Well, this morning my black bra was laying on top of my charging cell phone, so I know it was not there before last night. So, who returned my black bra?
I'm just really needing to hear if their is any new research on Transgender Genetics. I mean NEW. I do not mean the stuff that gets warped to conform to our own wishes, but real science. I follow this stuff closely, and if it is not dated 2011, it is probably not new to me. Sorry, don't mean to sound snotty, snide or snasty. My stress levels are just off the chart right now. I'm aware of the study recently done in OZ.
This morning at 1:00 AM I finished a short story, complete with the extra spaces between paragraphs that Drupal requires. As far as I was concerned, it was ready to publish.
This morning I got up and decided to give it one last read to check for continuity. Much to my discomfiture, all those blooming extra carriage returns are gone! Can I have not remembered correctly? Did I forget to save my work? I am quite certain that I saved it and I have auto save set at 5 minutes.
NOTE: IF YOU HAVE PTSD, YOU WOULD PERHAPS NOT WANT TO BE READING THE STORY I AM ABOUT TO TALK ABOUT.
I've got an old short story called "Extreme" that I published on Storysite as an excercise in a creative writing class. I wanted it to leave the reader feeling breathless and emotional. It is about the most extreme combat that anyone could come up with; a really, really despirate situation that repeats every day until the poor soldier is either killed or is pulled from duty.
This mornings' discussion around the story "The Beneficiary", caused me to get curious about intersex penile sizes. In doing just a little google search, I found a very interesting NOVA site with an interesting article and several links to yet more informative articles.
So for those who know they are intersexed, and for those who are just trying to figure things out, here is the link:
Tonight I said goodbye to the man I love, knowing that I likely will not ever see him again. I doubt that he knows anything of my feelings toward him. He is 29, I am 64, so it is well that I never utter a word about it. He did something that is just not done in his faith, he hugged me goodbye and when he did my heart broke.
What ever you use as a computer, and no matter what your politics are, I think that most will find this youtube vid to be really inspiring. I won't say that these folks were lilly white morally but one can not dispute their contribution.
At first when Hurricane Katia came on the scene, I thought for sure that someone at the National Weather Center was a reader on BCTS, and that may be so, but upon doing some more research, found that I did not originat the name at all, but some Greek dude. :(
I am trying to get back to writing; reading a few of my old stories to see what I liked and thinking. The first story I published on this site, drew a comment that said something like, you have a nice little story here that needs fleshing out. Another said that my story rambled a lot.
So, I decided that before I forged ahead on finishing my last story, I would try to conduct a little "self seminar" to try to tune myself up. Who knows maybe I need a book called, "A Tune Up For Wanna Be Writers"? :)
Well, I have introduced a new set of characters into my Katia story and need some help with names. They are about a foot tall, fly, and live in the woods on Malok's home world. So far Malok's race have just considered them to be about the equivalent of mosquitos but have not engaged in an eradication campaign on them, rather choosing to stay away from them.
There has been OH, so much change in my life; mostly good ones, or at least something different. Oregon is once again pleasant, though I did not want to return. Memories of the past made it very unpleasant at first but since my arrival, some very pleasant people have come into my life.
So, I don't know a lot about 'puters and don't want to know more than I have to about the Devil's machine. :) I just wanna use one.
So, I have this CD called "Tabla Turbo" that is belly dancing music, and not on I tunes or any place like that. So, my roomate told me that I could just buy a thumb drive and use my computer to copy the CD to the Drive. I did not think I could do it due to copyright crankiness, but he insisted I could, so I tried. Well, as you can probably guess, that did not work. So for music CD's that are not main stream, how can this be done?
