Well, I am still around. I am now working the pets department as a stocker, so when I go home, I am beat and I wanted to put this out a few days ago, but I was so tired. Now that Christmas will be over in a few hours, I have decided to get some things out. The first will be a check up on Lisa from my story Of Snow, little girls and Angels.

I am working on Tracy stuff and I know, people were not into the Halloween stuff, but I will show how things got that bad.

Tempted to put out a Tracy Christmas thing, but it may not be done until tomorrow or the next day.

I asked Santa for a Scanning Tunneling Microscope, but I got a Tesla coil kit. Oh well I will see a lot of shocking things in my future.

I am hoping someone will be able to point me in the right direction.

Hello everyone and Happy Holidays with a Merry Christmas to all who wants one! For the first time since I've been here at BCTS I'm not entering the Christmas Contest. Too much real life and I had other stories that my muse demanded I work on. Unfortunately none of those had three wise-men in them.

The kinda Sorta Christmas story I just put up, does have three aliens bearing gifts, but that was more an after thought and doesn't really qualify, to me at least.

yay, ive finally made it to 100 kudos, I know its not really alot but it seems like a big milestone, lol.
♥Jessica♥

If I dont get a chance to say it tomorrow, Merry Christmas, everybody.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to everyone, wherever you are, whether you celebrate or not--but be sure to think of others and ways that we can all have better years and lives ahead!

I realize my Christmas story is short. It's one that popped in my head.

To my Family here at Big Closet may your family be with you, have good friends that support you, and as much LOVE as you can handle.
MERRY CHRISTMAS and HAPPY NEW YEAR to you ALL!!

Merry Christmas to you all guys, may you be happy at least for short while, with those close to whom love you and you love them back. Please, remember it ´s not about gift, but the joy to be with loved ones and bitterweet rememberance of lost ones.
Even though Christmas are mostly Christian celebration, please make a gift of joy to one you love, so they feel loved. Touch them, hug them, because, if there ´s time to do so, today is the day.
Once again merry Christmas to you all.

This is outrageous. It is unfair. It should be a totally unacceptable part of our society. We need to organize a march, we need to picket the White House, we need Pope Francis to say a prayer on behalf of the inflicted.

Has anyone heard from TiffanyShar

Ok so, recently the main member of the popular tv show voiced his opinion of homosexuality, this angered the LGBT community.

So, on a last moment masochistic wtf whim, I drove 16 hours to see my parents. I'm going to be here for Xmas, and the rest of the week.

*thunks head against wall*

Well, at the end of a trying day, I got some good news.

Rare Female Penguin Couple at Israeli Zoo

Has anyone at all heard from Sephrena lately? I don't recall having seen her commenting to anything lately and one of her last blogs over a month ago mentioned her health problems. Does anyone know if she's okay? I know people got concerned for me when I dropped out of sight for a while and Sephrena is a big part of what makes BCTS great. Maybe I missed something while I was offline all that time but before that it was unusual for Sephrena to go very long without commenting on something so I'm getting a little concerned.

Why is it that almost every other TG story has someone going on hormones or being "girly" and they are emotional wrecks?

I am really not used to being complimented.

My pastor's wife described me as "wise", and I just didn't know how to handle that without deflecting.

to tell you, the next Nena book, Das Ist Normal, should be available on Kindle tomorrow! Search for Madeline Bell and it should pop up.

New Gaby today to tide you over the xmas break!

Have a happy holiday

For Everyone! I open an email last night and got a bug downloaded to my computer. The email was titled Best Buy Cannot ship package without address correction? I've had several email like this but this last one has been the only one that have had problem with. So be Caution with opening emails unless you have ordered something from that store or not!

Yay, I just posted the first part of my first story, check it out! I know it short but its only the prologue.
Story title "The Hand We're Dealt"

In the next few days, like I have already done for Alexandra's Story is to put a summary of where I see the story going. In time, and if the inspiration returns to finish them then I will expand it. I want the readers to feel a sense of the ending.

Sometimes it is easy to forget how blessed we are. I am flat on my back recovering from SRS. A really close pair of friends are allowing me to recover at their house, which I am greatful for. Lots of pain but it is normal. I can't wait for the tube to come out of my new tush, but no worries. Looking forward to doing more than hunt anf peck on this keyboard. Till then all my love.

I am back now. I have my own laptop now. I have missed everyone. Now I can get caught up on the stories.

I posted this on FaceBook and thought it applied here too.

Waaay too busy with work, Christmas, Family duties, Snow Storms to post and return comments of late.

I did it! After a few bumps in the road I finally got my first novel up on Kindle. Heroes of Justice was one of the entries to Erin's 'What's So novel' contest. Do yourself a favor and look up the other entries! There's some real good stuff there!

As for my book, you'll have to input the whole name along with my author name to find it. Unfortunately I wasn't thinking about marketing this thing when I wrote it. There's only about million titles that has Heroes and Justice in them.

'Heroes of Justice' Grover Young

A film behind the scenes of the revue at Blackpool from the Guardian website.

Okay, I followed a comic "The Princess" about a young transgender girl over on the drunkduck website. Well, that site apparently ceased operations in July/August. I've been checking back from time to time with no luck.

All:

A Great Christmas story with is my favorite worth the read at this time of the year is Santa Monica by Jennifer Brock .I strongly urge new readers to BCTS (and older readers) to go to search and look this story up . I read this every year and keep a couple of hankies close.
I wish all my friends at BCTS a very HAPPY HOLIDAY be safe in your travels .Here is to a good year in 2014

And Why? It was there, and now it's gone.

Well, on Sunday after church, I had another session with my pastor's wife, and had a flashback during the session. In my flashback, I saw myself during the abuse being photographed by my rapist. A flash from a camera, going off again, and again.

Needless to say, I was a little upset about this.

But thinking about it this morning, I found myself being able to say "Screw my rapist. He doesn't own me. So he took pictures. I don't belong to him."

So maybe this flashback ends up being a step forward.

I can hope so, anyway.

Ever since I started my transition I've been very young at heart, in fact if you asked my ex wife she would say, every time, that I act like a thirteen or fourteen year old. I personally blame my second puberty. I'm afraid less, I get more out of life, I have goals, and I'm in touch with the real me. A friend of mine sent me an online test that tests your mental age so I thought I'd see if my ex was right. The test measures things like how emotional and mature you are and such, so it's a mental age test and not an intelligence test.

Hi everyone!

Well I'm back and as I might not get online until next weekend I've brought forward the update on my site.

There are lots of pics, some reading and - well go and look!

I guess what little fan-base I have has given up on my writing. My last story "Somebody's knockin'" and my latest poem "Lie to me" both are lacking in comments. I know I'm not the wonderful author Tels or Bailey Summers or Drea (or almost anybody you can mention on this site) are, but still ...

Since you've so far got over 70% of the tunes on my infernal acronym quiz without much difficulty (although I've noticed edits have dried up recently (Hint Hint)), I thought I'd search out some more obscure songs for the next iteration.

Among them, I discovered this ever-so-slightly tongue-in-cheek track, which for rather obvious reasons never makes it onto seasonal compilation albums... :)

I just reread my favorite short Christmas story. You can find it here: http://bigclosetr.us/topshelf/fiction/32457/pink-angel . I never tire of it.

I have said before that some outfits can improve a man's appearance, and last night at work I got a good example of it. One of my supervisors was wearing a western-style dress shirt that flattered him nicely, and once I finished berating myself for noticing, I decided to give myself a break on the subject.

But it did get me thinking about flirting with men, and having a man flirt with me.

An interesting short quiz on grammar usage.

There is so much peace in driving out through the desert, but I have never been out there in the winter. Sometimes I see pictures with snow out in the sage brush and wonder how it got there. We used to go out in the desert to camp. I loved looking up at the stars at night. Sometimes I would lay there under the jewel bright heavens and doze. Once in a while I'd wake up and look at the stars and I would notice that the Milky Way had swiveled a little. I remember that sort of like a time lapse movie. The nights when the moon was gone were the best.
