Due to Agent Orange, A medication I take for Migraines and my vascular Disease and a myriad of medications I take which gives me problems with my short term memory and I have to stop writing. As much as I try there are days a sentence takes a long while to get out and then the thought of what I was writing about goes away. Not only that my blood sugar often gets low and interacts with my migraine medicine and I put the ditz back in to ditzy.

Couple sues over adopted son's sex-assignment surgery

Governor Mark Dayton signed into law today a bill passed by the Minnesota Legislature authorizing marriage between partners of the same sex. The law takes effect August 1st.

You get up with the best of intentions. You write 642 words - good ones, as well. You take one break to check if there have been any new comments to a story you particularly liked. You find one and think yeah, I know a good Moody Blues track to link to. There might be others as well...

Suddenly it's gone six.

Where the hell did the day go?

No one to blame but myself. (Sighs loudly.)

Bugger it, I might as well link to some decent 70s stuff.

I've become aware of a website that seems to actively be trying to work things out. I went in there with my gun locked and loaded, expecting trouble, assuming the worst. That is not what I have found. I am willing to give them a try and just see what we come up with.

I have decided to behave myself and see what sort of dialogue we can have. So far, I have no objection to their policies, but have only been there a while.

I'd like to see what you think of the website. Please behave and don't make me sorry I published this. :)

I am learning more and more about who I really am. It used to be that I used my writing to explore aspects of myself, but that is becoming less of the norm. I am no longer living as Katie vicariously through characters and words on a page and am living real life as the real me.

I do intend to finish "Virginia in Bloom" and "Evolution," but life gets in the way.

I've just finished re-reading Renae's superb partial stories, 'After the Ashes' and 'First Among Fools' and thought I'd try to see if she's on BC these days. They are wonderful stories and I'm REALLY REALLY hoping that she will find the wherewithal to finish them one day!

If you have not read them I highly recommend them to you. I have to warn you that they ARE unfinished at present however and will probably leave you with withdrawal symptoms afterwards. lol

First Among Fools

Don't know if they're connected, but I've noticed that the Kudos counts for stories are way down the RH column now, where they used be at the top above the author's story list. Whether this has anything to do with the unremovable Random Solos on the front page I don't know. I did notice one "Random Solo" that popped up on the home page for me earlier was Part 2 of a story, I don't remember which story it was, sorry. So I can't say if the story was classified wrong or if it might be a bug in the feature.

I know a few may be wondering since I haven't been around much lately?

Mom's finally home!!!;D

So I went to my mums for dinner tonight, it being Mother's Day and all. It was myself, mum, her boyfriend, my sister, her boyfriend and my 2yo nephew. We were sitting around the lounge room drinking coffee, and somehow they got onto the topic of teaching Hunter (my nephew) the difference between a boy and a girl, based on general appearance. All this time, I'm sitting there thinking "he's 2, he doesn't give a damn, and that's the way it should be" (I'm an equalist). But then the funniest thing happened, my sister has started going around, asking him what each person is, a boy or a girl.

Thought I'd give you all due warning - a new Gaby book will be published this week! It might be Wednesday or it might be next weekend but sure as eggs are eggs it will be available! There's all the angst, racing and general Gabyness you've come to expect so be prepared!

So look out for Gaby - Wunderkind part 1 coming to a screen near you - soon!

This is why you have to be very specific when giving a graphic designer instructions. Which should I use.

I'm only interested in hunks here, no one else need apply. :)

Hello, I saw this item on the Daily Mail website. I have a copy of Mariette Pathy Allen’s book ‘Transformations’ from years ago. The article is a positive one and the best rated comments are also positive.

Here’s the link:

Love to all

What if you really fit neither mold?
Is there room for those who just don't fit?
Do others feel this way?

Penny's posted the next SEE episode!

I am so not telling Julia when she gets home ..... tee heee

Thank you Penny

Thank you

Spotted this as I read the paper this morning over breakfast.

The next story I post will not easily fit into the categories available on the 'Create Content' page. I need to choose the right tags so that those who decide to read it understand what they're getting.

I was reading our local weekly paper, and noticed a letter to the editor commenting about the picture of the High School Prom King and Queen.

Okay, I don't normally bitch about comments, but come on? I know I wrote Twins as a fluff piece, but it really is a nice story. I've had seven comments on part one and one on part two. So what you say? Well I've had almost a thousand hits on two and over two thousand on part one. If this was Assassin and you didn't buy it, well then that's your choice, but this is for free and the time Di Wonder and I spent editing the story should warrant at least a response. I didn't include writing the piece because that comes with the territory.

For once things have come out as planned!

This song and video by Colin Raye really says it all. Life is precious and every one lost, lessens us all. Watch the video, listen to the words and take them to heart.

I created a separate facebook account for "Katie Leone". This one is where I post all my updates solely about my books. I did this for several reasons. One is to keep my fans and friends separate (a lot of people here are both, but I've gotten some people out of the blue find me and it's been interesting. Evidently the APA has me on their listserv). The other, I'm sure some friends get tired of posts about my books left and right.

Colombia police arrests escaped prisoner in spite of convincing sex change

2 big moments happened in the last couple of days. First, on Saturday night one of my co-workers asked if I wanted to go with a group from work to the new Star Trek movie when it comes out. This is a big deal, because its the first social event I've ever been invited to as Dorothy.

The other moment happened today. As part of prep for a possible move, I took the last of my male clothes to a local charity, and it felt like the last goodbye to Todd, which is about time, I think.

Both good steps forward, dont you think?

This is for my girlfriend.

It has been some time since I posted my last blog entry...

Two weeks ago I found the hair style I can use to let my real self be seen till my own hair will be long enough:

As many of you are probably aware I've doing HRT DIY-style.

I've gotten my dosages and scheduling and everything pretty well perfected except for ONE THING. One of my three T blockers is making me tired all the time.

I have started posting the bios for through the years. I will post the major and minor character bio sheets and updating them through out the next few weeks. Then I shall add links to other stories and the back stories in the bios. So this way I can keep track of my cast of thousands.

I have some questions about neighborhoods or parts of the city. If there is someone familar with these, please private message me. Thank you.

Well, I just broke out my new makeup. This was the first time I really put on makeup. I've used lipstick before but that was all. I'm still learning and I have a big uphill battle. I don't even know what colors are good for me. I must of picked the wrong concealer since I look like I have jaundice. Is there a make up for dummies book out there? I know there are instructional dvd's out there but I am not able to purchase them right now. I went into the store and looked at the makeup isle and my mind froze. there are just to many choices. My mind could not comprehend what I saw.

Although I'm pleased to be able to help Erin in any way to support this site, I do have one complaint.

Very little change. Had a slight moment of hope this morning when cat tried to lift it's back leg to scratch ears but hasn't done it since. Still fights getting the medicine (liquid in a syringe so if anyone has any idea how to do this better PLEASE HELP). She did go to the bathroom... she pooped in my bed (I'm not mad) and she's peed on herself a few times. I am going to get baby wipes because I can't keep on giving her a bath. I don't think she has any feeling in her hind quarters, didn't even protest to getting wet.

or just another example of local government making laws when none are needed ?

I have been working on the next few parts of Through the years when I got sidetracked. It happens really easy to me. But one day I was busy typing something out and I thought....

Had a super great day at work last night, with no pain in my shoulders for the first time in 3 weeks. Yay!

So I was watching cops, as there was nothing on TV... The episode was originally aired on November, 25th, 2006... It is either entitled "Bad Girls 10" (which is Season 19 episode 9) or just entitled "Coast to Coast" with no episode number, depending where you look.

The episode at one point, has a cop pulling over a male, for suspicion of soliciting prostitution, and then questioning him.

Dear Authors,

I have a bunch of incomplete stories and my writing has slowed down. I may never finish them.

John from that unpronounceable place in Wisconsin pointed out a historical error in Part 7 of Soaring With Eagles. I had omitted Theodore Roosevelt and his son as Medal of Honor recipients. That error has now been corrected. Thanks, John.

My poor cat Madeline. Over the past week she has gotten worse. It started with a reluctance to jump and moved to a limp. It is now where she can't move her rear legs. I'm at the vet and very worried. I love my cats but money is tight.i shelled out to fix the van so savings is down. If you pray, please pray for my kitty

Re: Soaring With Eagles - Part 2. I forgot how things change in military training. The last time I fired an M-16 was in late summer of 1966. I remember researching Air Force automatic weapons for a previous story and forgot to reference that for this story. Many things changed over the last 47 years, and they will certainly change more up to the time this story takes place. Thanks to everyone for their help.
