A warning first: Please excuse my poor english. You will read later on why.

Well, very few people do know me, and this is my first attempt do tell about about me and my first experiences of being a girl.

I'm regularly visiting gabyzone and got to know some really good friends there. A few months back some of my friends invited me for a visit in UK so i could be myself there, far away from my family and home. I was quite surprised, i was being invited then as they only knew me from chatting. Anyway, I thought a while and finally said yes. I bought a ticket, and I also was pretty sure my English would be good enough to not get lost over there ( Oh by the way, I used to be a german male - quite horrible, isn't it? ;) )
And so it happened, that I'm now here somewhere in England and enjoying myself. I'm a girl right and all I can say is, it feels good, feels right. I was taught how to do my makeup and also how to present myself in the way i would pass.

Today I had my first experience being outside as the girl I consider myself. As I was told i could pass and also nicely asked if I would like to try to leave the safe environment of my kind hosts, I asked myself, would i really do that? Yes! I had to do that at some stage, so why not here...
So I went out with Samantha for a shopping trip. A short one, but as the girl I feel i should be.

At was I was really worried someone would read me, but I felt safe with Samantha being around. The longer we were out the more relaxed I became. Nobody was looking twice, ( at least I didn't noticed anything ), no laugther or pointing.
I felt at ease being myself finally.

The only bad thing about that day - I couldn't find some nice girls trainers of my favourite brand. Would have been nice with my outfit.

So whatever you think, that was my first day out as girl.

Many thanks to Karen and Samantha, who made all that possible for me. Thank you :)
