Rawr! Okay, so here's the deal with book two of Becoming Robin

So, "Princess For Hire" seems to be doing well, no? Well, one thing I'm hoping to make a regular thing as I write this story is asking for reader input. While I know where it's going, there's still plenty of room to add in things people might be interested to see, and if it helps me flesh out the story a little more, well that's all the better!

So, to start with, I've got a couple of requests myself.

Oh dear...

The Labour Party's Lesbian Gay Bisexual and Transsexual Society were in the Greencoat Boy pub in Westminster, central London, when a row broke out. The duty manager is alleged to have refused them service and said that had he known they were a gay group he would not have accepted their booking. Punch Taverns, which owns the pub, has launched an investigation.

Hey! I just posted Career Day part 3 over at StarDust. This ends vol. one. It's a complete story but I have more of Lee's tale that I'm working on. So despite my hyperactive muse I hope to get all of The Career Day Saga completed before trying to finish up way too many older stories that needs completion.

http://stardustr.us/content/career-day-wheels-bus-go-round-a...

Next Weekend I'll post part 3 here at BC. I can't promise I'll have vol. 2 ready or not. We're preparing to move at the end of the month and so things are starting to get a little hectic. Wish us luck!

Well, I went to work at Midnight Friday for the Sat shift, and the boss informed me the company had hired two new peple to work with us. We had been working 12 hour shifts on the weekends for coverage without driving people into overtime stats, and we were getting along just fine. Then the company decided (the lady in charge of the area office) that she didn't like the 12 hour shifts, and she hired a thrid body and cut us to 8 hours. That meant myself and the other guy were only getting 16 hours a week....not enough for either of us.

Strange. I don't seem to be getting any reviews for Sissy Farm. I suppose it's because everybody's read it on FM.
Shall I soldier on with it I wonder, being as everybody seems to have read it.

There is a very nice story at Kristen's Site by Krystle Glass. I'm not very familiar with the author; however, this story is worth the read.

John Wooden, noted philosopher and author passed away today at 99. He was also known for his work in the area of sports.

My story Exitus Acta Probat is based in part on his writings.

I'm not sure where this came from originally. It's in the format of the series of motivational posters.

If one looks at it, one can see, perhaps, a TG element to the resulting screen.

Well, its been a frustrating week. I have been trying to get a letter from my doctor regarding my physical health so i could qualify for the assitance to go back to school, but no luck. Then today, I tried to get it from the local medi-center, and instead they sent me for an x-ray, and i have to go back monday. I am starting to fear that I could end up not being able to get it, and the whole dream of going back to school and maybe transitioning is going up in smoke. sigh.

and the reasons are...well, many I guess.

Mainly though, at the bottom of it all, is one simple thing.

I've spent my whole life searching for "the one." I've looked everywhere and she seems to be either hiding, or I'm just too damn old and ugly for anyone to care about in "that" way.

Well here's a bit of news for everyone. Ugly people need love too!

Or, "As easy as charging up your mobile phone"

Imagine (for whatever reason) you're going on a long bike ride, but your mobile phone is running low on charge. Evidently someone at Nokia thought that the power generated by a dynamo sandwiched between the frame and wheel could do more than illuminate darkness...

A little while ago someone sent me a link to trusted therapists who are not only experienced with, but actually WANT to deal gender issues. I can not for the life of me FIND that link. I'm about to resort to sorting through every comment on Becoming Robin as well as my blogs in order to find that blasted link once I finish watching Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure (Thanks Melanie! ;-)).

I just received this email:

Just a reminder that this Saturday is the fourth annual South Bay Pride Shabbat. Please include this information in your community news section or forward to interested congregants. Many participants in previous years are not GLBT themselves but straight allies or family members.

Congregation Shir Hadash, Temple Emanu-El, and Congregation Emeth invite you to join us for the 4th Annual South Bay Pride Shabbat. The service will be held on Saturday, June 5th, at 10:30 am at Congregation Shir Hadash, 20 Cherry Blossom Lane, Los Gatos.

Today(June 1st) is the sixth anniversary of my first shot of Estridiol Valerate and the 20th anniversary of my graduation from High School. I can't believe it has been that long. I can say that I feel truly blessed to be here living this moment now. It took me 33 years before I started, but I can honestly say, I wouldn't trade this journey for anything. I have wonderful friends here on BCTS and wonderful long time friends from High School that are still with me for this. I consider myself to be a very blessed woman indeed. Thanks for being there with me. Here's to many more wonderful years.

Tomorrow, June first is my birthday, but we celebrated it today. Three of my children were here and so were five of my grandchildren. I barbequed two chataubriands and a butterflied leg of lamb. All came out perfect, medium rare. The day was perfect, with the exception of no sunshine. I didn't mind because, don't say it, my kids were all the sunshine I needed. Being part of this community is the icing on the cake. I love you all, Arecee

Well, I got most of what i need to do to go back to school done. If I can get my doctor to sign off for me wednsday, I will be as ready to go as I can be. I just wish I felt better, but I was due for a chemical down anyway, so now is as good a time as any, i guess. ah, well.

I seem to have hit a bit of a sterile spot at the moment, not much writing issuing forth.

Anybody: Has anybody talk to JenGirl(Jennifer Campbell) in the past few days? As she hasn't been logged on here in several days and she was having trouble with relatives where she lives this past month as she has not been able to find a new job because of her gender problems. Thanks all of you! Richard

Hey everyone! I just got part 2 of Career Day up at StarDust.

Just over a day being posted, and Princess for Hire has more than 1500 hits and 40 comments (35 not by me!) Wow!

I want to apologize for me not writing anything in a while.
I've been having what I, somewhat presumptuously, would like to call a 'writers block'.
I'm sure I'm not the only one doubting my abilities :)

"Your Tax Dollars at Work" to Get My Tax Dollars.

For anyone who is interested, I have just completed a review of Avatar on Fictioneer.

If you haven't seen it yet, read this and it might change your minds about leaving it any longer before you do.

Read it here

I was absolutely shocked to see a movie had been made about XXY Gene combination in one young child. Sadly, me espanole es muy poqinto :(

Yes folks this movie is in Spanish. Can it be that they do not have their collective heads up their asses like English speaking countries do?

Those who can, enjoy.

Much Peace

I'm posting here to first of all seriously thank Michelle B for all the help she's given me already. Secondly I'd like to thank everyone who's commented and read my first attempt.

Ok, so thats a takeoff of Apocalypse now, but its approprate. This morning, for the 1st time ever, I painted my toenails. Before, I was always too scared to try it. Probably didnt to a great job, especailly since with my big belly its hard to reach my toes at all, lol. Meanwhile, tomorow is the big day. I go to the goverment agency to find out if the will sponcer me to go back to school. pray for me, ok?

There are times when we all would prefer not to be too noticeable when out in public. For all those who believe they are too tall to pass, don’t despair.

This young model is six foot eight inches tall, seven foot in her heels

See the link below.

Love to all

I am pleased to announce the birth of my first grandchild, Kaiden Robert, 7 pounds 9 ounces and 18 inches long. mother, child, and all three grandmothers are doing fine.

Good news. I'm halfway through the rewrite of Assassin part three. I will be sending it off to my editor in the next few days and hopefully I'll have it posted next week. Sorry for the long delay in posting it, but this part is quite long. Thanks for your patience, Arecee

Well, it's good for dogs at least!

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/3266819.stm

The Wisconsin team tested the health-giving properties of stout against lager by giving it to dogs who had narrowed arteries similar to those in heart disease.

They found that those given the Guinness had reduced clotting activity in their blood, but not those given lager.

So next time you go to the pub, order a pint of the black stuff for your pooch! :)

(Never mind the strange things some scientists choose to research - and the creatures they use in their research...)

It's just struck me that I haven't told anybody on BCTD that I'm going to The Sparkle Weekend in Manchester's gay village in the UK.
I'm staying at 'The place hotel', Friday and Saturday nights for the weekend 9th, 10th , 11th July.
Is anybody else going.
Lot's going on.
I'd love to meet some big closet readers or writers up there.

Looking forward to some others being there.

It seems that the nuttso that tried to confess to the JonBenet murder some years ago has been cyber stalking a young woman he knew when he was a substitute teacher and she was 9 years old. He was cleared of having anything to do with JonBenet's death through DNA evidence, but since then he is alleged to be engaged in stalking at least this other girl. In the words of the InfoMercial, "But wait, there's more...." It seems that he has transitioned and is now legally female as well, and is still stalking the girl. She says he did it so he could get closer to women and girls.

"All you need is love", I've heard. Not quite, at least for me. I learned tonight the value of having one true friend: just one, who's there to remind you you're not alone, and to anchor you in reality.

Well, The above is a statement I never thought I would say again. I met somebody on a chat room, and she helped me get through the worst of my flashbacks. She knows my gender status, and it doesnt faze her a bit. She is also constantly complimenting me, calling me beautiful, and making me feel special and wanted in a way I have never felt before. I am being careful, trying to take my time and get to know her better, but also trying to enjoy the moment at the same time. We will have to see how it goes.

I'm looking for feedback on my recently posted short story, No More Distance, No More Time.
As I write this blog post, the story has over 700 "reads", but only three comments. (Thank you Stanman, Janice, and Susan!)

I wasn't going to write another chapter in Father Just Doesn't Get It, but with all the nice comments I got, I decided to write another chapter. If anybody wants to read more about Joanne's journey into girlhood, just say so in your comments at the end of the story.

Hugs,
Barbara

Chapter number 10 is almost complete. Got an idea where to go with 11. It's fairly predictable but sweet and sentimental.

See you soon.

Beverly.

Hey Everyone I have a new story up at StarDust. Career Day: The Wheels On The Bus Go Round And Round. It's a lot different from Once A Hero. It's about time travel, Alien machines, racists, and the joys of getting your hair done. Story length is around 46 thousand words, and will be posted in more or less three even parts. If I get part 2 that I'm currently working finished, I'll simply add it onto the end doubling the length.

http://stardustr.us/content/career-day-wheels-bus-goes-round...

Enjoy!

hugs!

Nearly finished chapter 10. Frank's given me an inkling of where to go next.
Skipper's cottage is good place for anybody to recharge batteries.
I don't usually like 'going backwards' but sometimes it's necessary.
"Will Martina become a 'Yo-Yo kid' I ask myself in these difficult times.

First off, sorry for not getting Mana 2 up until just now. I got home too late last night and the internet connection was so slow it might as well have been non-existent. Then when I logged on today I got involved reading... ;)

It came and went, no big deal - like most birthdays after thirty. I've spent somewhere between one and two thousand hours writing it, over a period of about two years and ten months. Now I have to decide what I want to do with it.

There are loads of loose ends to tie up, which is just like a real person who dies, or like we all have everyday, so there are always plenty of plot lines to follow or I could end it where it is - if the latter, as it's written in the first person, there would be no more, the narrator is no more. I know I tried that before and popular demand resurrected her.

Apparently it's the 30th anniversary of the release of Pacman today.

So of course Google has to celebrate with one of its famous doodles. Although there's more to this one than meets the eye. Apart the [I'm Feeling Lucky!] button being replaced with [Insert coin].

This one's written in Javascript (so those with NoScript installed may already have spotted something's up!) and is a playable version of the game - apparently all the way up to level 255...

Well, I have been looking at a lot of hands lately, ever since I heard that guy's ring fingers are longer than their pointer fingers. Well, in a week, I have seen three women with guy fingers. One of them has a baby, and the other two are either extremely good T girls or genetic women. And, to top it off, I know a guy with so called girl hands.

Hmmmmm
