Got called at noon for an interview at 2. As of 3 this afternoon, I am employed again. Just got to wait for background check to return. Now to get those bills under control again

Well I had interview #2 yesterday. And while talking to the nice lady, I learned that I wasn't the only one that guy forgot to set up appointments for. Heck, he even sent people who were there for an interview home, so they had to return last night. I think it went well and they sent my app onto store manager, so now the waiting game for her to call me.

Keep those fingers crossed

I stumbled into this tonight and had not thought that I would ever hear SSM discussed in Utah, AS IF. Well, there is dialogue going on. Hmmmm

Thursday 25 July

Another afternoon spent on a rocky foreshore watching the tide come in and letting an unforgiving sun burn my skin that little bit darker. Another afternoon wondering where the hell my next piece of fiction is coming from.

Dottie says that diet is DIE with a t. That is not true.

A diet is basically what you eat on a regular basis.

Since I haven't posted anything in quite a few weeks I thought I would give everyone an update.

Who'd a thunk it? I've been entertaining you with my random comments (which I've been assured on previous anniversaries are not incomprehensible gibberish, despite the joke in my Twitter bio) and (very) occasional story for just over four years now.

Well, I now have three books up on Amazon for Kindle, and they are selling. Thanks to my supporters.
Something to Declare

As some of you know, I have been looking for work and may have found a job that can work with me and how I really hate dealing with people face to face. I have applied for 3rd shift (or graveyard for you West coast people) GM (general merchandise) stocking at a Meijers near the house. For those who don't know, Meijers is a Michigan based company, like Walmart, but nicer to their employees, or so former workers have said.

Now that I have your attention, wait get your minds out of the gutter. Hmmm...sorry lost in thought there, my mind is in the gutter.

Hi every body,

The questioning mind wonder.

Some of you received the "Get a bigger...." Spam.

• I know most do not even want to have a penis.

We're approaching 2100 episodes of Bike and I thought I'd better ask the readers if they want me to continue. Bonz and Whizz have indicated they have no difficulties in continuing providing I give them a rise in the number of munchies they get to eat
- blackmailing little monsters.

Judging by the response to the recent birthday episode, I suspect this question is possibly rhetorical, but I feel I should ask it every now and again, just to make sure, and assuming that the management are also happy to continue finding space for my daily ramblings.

So...

I am staggered that I've been around for 2 yrs and 21 weeks. It doesn't seem 2 mins since I posted the first episode of 'At last a life'.

I had to make a revision on SG @. Not a major one, but I would have to redo Chapter 3 if I didn't. Sorry all...

Thanks to Joani and her Facebook page here is interesting story. Its about a bunch of kids in Central/South America. Go to this address to see it: http://www.upworthy.com/watch-the-first-54-seconds-that-s-al... if this address don't get you there try this one instead: facebook.com/landfillharmonicmovie . Like it says just give 54 seconds and will be hooked. Richard

In her blog, Katie asked the question "What am I doing?" (which you can read here: http://bigclosetr.us/topshelf/blog/45644/what-am-i-doing )

I know there have been many things written to eulogize Stan since his passing and I don't want to be tedious or redundant, but I wanted to share my own feelings about someone who was so misunderstood and yet, so loved.

I know this is old, but it might still bring about a chuckle or two.

Engineering Conversions:

Too tired to post photos tonight, but I have a few.

Here's one of some inventive cosplayers:

Well, the night before last I caught my foot against a pallet at work, and became off balance and started to fall. It felt like someone had yanked on my leg hard. So I went to the hospital to get checked out today, and it looks like I dodged a bullet and didnt do any damage to myself.

Still hurt, though.

Ah, well.

Well, the hormones I'm still on are apparently doing better. Instead of one patch every three and a half days, I'm wearing two patches for a week. That plus the Spiro actually has my breasts growing now. I mean, I wake up in the night finding myself rubbing them going "these aren't a bra or padding, they are really attached to me" and then drifting back into a contented sleep.

I've also noticed that my skin is getting softer and my limbs are getting thinner. My bicep was well developed and I had thick forearms, now they are noticeably thinner.

bit of Gaby Book 11 - Wunderkind is now available on Lulu

Okay, on the front page of the site, on the right hand side, normally I have a control panel that says "Joy Phillip" and has links to my messages, places like my account settings, my stories and more. I check there daily to see if there is anything new.

Yesterday it disappeared.

I came back today and it's still not there. It is present if I go to a story, a blog post or some other page, but not on the front page.

So, I have basically just COMPLETELY outed myself to my mum, by accident. How? You may ask. She had just come round to drop off a few things, unannounced. She then stated that she was dying to pee (to hide the fact that she wanted to inspect my flat, of which she has no right). So I let her past the door to go. The first thing she saw was my loungeroom's mess to which she said "oh my god" and I replied "ha, it's about to get much worse". She then delivered another "Oh My God" with a lot more.....honesty.

Well, this morning as I slept, I had a ... er ... wet dream. Not unusual, but in this particular dream, I was being made love to by a man. Having a man enter a part of my anatomy that doesnt even exist at the moment is a bit of a disconcerting experience ....

I owe my life greatly to several people here on BCTS who were strong and obstinate enough to call me on my shit years ago when I was an "endangered species".

A little birdy told me that it is Samantha Jenkins birthday today.

*runs and hides from Samfa*

Many people know from a few hilarious blogs I posted a year ago that I work as a papergirl. The only problem is, most people there don't know that I'm a girl.

The Free Bundle

Not only are they neat free games, but a chance to help out a sister in need. Now, is that not worth it?

Been thinking about fan fiction. Its a little like doing a cover of a song, you can either try and capture the original, or you can try and make it your own.

Because I know,

what it's like to ask for help, and be told you don't need it.

Positive article found in The Jewish Daily Forward about transsexual rabbis. Soon there will be six.

What happened to Amethyst?
I was enjoying all the various stories, and then they have all suddenly stopped.

Hello this fish029:
I am not big poster. I love the reading stories more, here on BigCloset they are some many excellent stories and universes to read here about. I am worried about Sarah UK. Has any one herd from Sarah UK? It has been 2 weeks she posted anything. I hope she is not sick or hurt or something worths.

Dr. John Corvino ("The Gay Moralist") frequently gives talks on the religious and moral objections to homosexuality (and thoroughly rebuts them). He gets invited to universities as well as conservative organizations. This is the first time one of his full-length talks (58 minutes) has ever been posted to YouTube. If you're interested in having the arguments to oppose homophobes and transphobes, you might want to watch this. Grab a notepad and pencil first.

This is about my 20th time, I attended the third one way back in 72 and I've gone to almost half of them since then. I have a few friends in the industry and know even more people just to say hi to. I always get enthused about my comics work when I'm here. :)

Having been a small publisher back in the first days of indie comics (we called them street-level comics), I get a professional badge and get to hang out with the pros and drink free coffee in the pro lounge. So cool!

I am reading Nancy Cole's, "Dance of the Baccha". It in many ways is a pleasant story, though at times quite frightening and tense, the subject matter dredging memories up less pleasant times for me.

I am in the first chapters where "M's" brother is being exposed to things that he had longed for, but had buried so deeply that he had not practiced.

Gay Marriage is now legal in England and Wales. This legislation does not effect Scotland, Northern Ireland, Mann, or the Channel Islands.

chapter of Book 9 is now posted.

Just by way of a coincidence I am writing the equivalent chapter of book 11 as I post this so look out for the concluding part of the book on Lulu in the next week!

Hi everyone,

These kids don't get it, and that's a GOOD thing.

Congratulations, Angharad for all the entertainment you have given us all,

It claims that wolfpeace, known here as Shelly or shalimar is stranded in Spain and needs money.

As Shelly is approximately 50 feet from me here in Indianapolis, I know that to be untrue.

So I have posted my introductory offer and teased a little about the next posting.

The Auditorium will open in …

… just a few days now.

Major Crimes on the TV station TNT had a fictional story about a thirteen year old TG teen, who was missing. The show was season 2 episode 6. There was a fair mix of supporters and detractors, in the expected places and the police seemed to handle the case well. A grizzly circumstance but fair and even handling.

****SPOILER ALERT****
