Lady Fairburn’s moles

This is for all the readers of Susan Brown’s wonderful Penmarris stories who somehow believe that Lady Fairburn’s problems with moles are, how can I say this, somewhat exaggerated.

If the link below works, you can hear that Baroness Bety Boothroyd, former speaker of the House of Commons has a similar problem.

I hope it works, it is quite entertaining

Hi Peeps,

I write a little thing called Football Girl. Since losing our lovely Gabi last year, I have not had an editor. I have just re-read the last chapter and am a cringing wreck as I have noticed several bloopers of the first order.

Being dyslexic means that I miss things, forget things, misspell lots and generally lose the plot.

I have a dent in the wall where I keep banging it with my head with frustration sometimes. The occasional glass of wine helps dull the pain - well that's my excuse anyway!

OK folks, listen up. This is really good video series by ABC and I think it is important enough that I wrote them to thank them for running such a complete and caring series. The world is getting better for us. Be brave.

There are I think 6 videos in this series.

think we've all asked that question on occasion. But maybe it has special meaning for trans people like me. More than anything, I feel a need to know if my gender issues were caused by my rape, or would I have them regardless? I believe I was always going to be Dorothy, no matter what, but I don't know that there is any way to be 100 % sure while I'm still alive. The only real proof I have that I am on the right track is that I have made significant progress in dealing with my past, and there's no sign of a decrease in how much I want to be a woman physically.

Today is the anniversary of my first year here. I have found a lot of acceptance for my stories here. I am so grateful to the readers and the wonderful people here. I also love the encouragement I get as a fledgling writer. I am working on the next part of Alexandra's Story. I have ideas of where I want it to go. I am thinking of moving it from the forced aspects into a more romantic tale. I guess as I get older I am mellowing out. Anyway, I can't believe it has been a year already. Thank you for letting me share my stories here.

Well, I know I wanted to keep this blog more positive, but today was not a good day at work. I ended the day accidentally slicing through a water bottle, spilling the contents all over me, and the floor. To add insult to injury, I was running so late I ended up having to leave the skid for the day staff to finish. Worst of all, my response to all this stress was to get very angry, and I almost said something nasty to my supervisor, but reined myself in in time. Here's hoping today goes better, I have a headache now.

One down. More to go.

I am planning on getting a few more things worked on over break. This should help those who have been missing my writing. I am not sure which story is next on my list but something is going to be worked on and uploaded.

No wonder the bosses of banks get away with huge bonuses - those lower down the food chain seem rather dim.

The story in yesterday's Daily Wail is astonishing, it should have been in the Fortean Times,
how a preop transsexual impersonated glamour model Katie Price and stole from her bank.

At least they used correct pronouns. The same story on the BBC makes no mention of her gender status.

Hi.   Moe n I decided on going on a spur-of-the-moment road trip.   She had just resigned from her job and yesterday was her last day, whereas I am having a mild case of cabin fever.   So, crazy or not, we're going on a road trip to cheer ourselves up.   So we're getting an early start on the day, and just drive around, just be a couple of tourists, check in at a hotel, and be back tomorrow.   Or maybe Friday (wink wink).   Weather seems good, save for the 40-degree temp.   But we'll be okay.

So seeya in a day or two!

We had a very good, active turnout for chat last night, so let's do it again! No topic is off limits, just remember Rule #1 -- be nice. Use the chatrooms link in the top banner; from there you can connect directly through your browser, or use the information provided to configure your choice of IRC client. #MainRoom and #GabyZone are where most of the people hang out; if it's quiet when you come in just say 'Hey, Breanna!' to get the attention of the hostess. If you have any questions, please PM me and I'll do my best to answer them.

We were on coffee break, and one of my co-workers told me this story: She had tried to explain who I am and what I'm doing to her daughter, who is 11. The girl said, "So he is a boy who wants to be a girl?" Then she paused and said, "Smart." I thought it was kinda cute and funny.

Okay... I am still moving and stuff. The semester has been pretty intense and class has been pretty intense. Thinking I was going to fail two classes can do that to you. I managed to pull off an A and a B in the two classes, so I clearly don't suck at the school thing. My GPA is really decent and that was a nice relief. Having a Grad school mentality with Undergrad classes can be problematic. ;)

Have you read about the new hydraulic bikes? You pedal them and a liquid transmission sends the power to the wheels -- they're going to market them under the name The Viscous Cycle.

Had an amazing moment at work last night. I was in a good mood, but then I went from being just happy to something beyond anything I've experienced. I had this feminine energy flowing through me, filling me. I felt so female that if I spontaneously had a sex change I wouldn't been at all surprised. It put an extra wiggle in my walk, that's for sure. I rather hope this happens again. Here's hoping and praying it does.

I know I've been a bit of a Negative Nelly lately, and as good as it might be to get those kinds of feelings out on paper (or on computer screen, as the case may be, its past time for me to start focusing on the positive. So, I'm going to list all the things for which I am grateful.

I want to wish everyone the happiest of holidays, whether you celebrate today, or another day, or every day, whether you're religious, or secular, observant, or not! And, best wishes for peace, equality, health, wealth, and happiness in the New Year!

To you all!

As a special treat i've posted a new update on my site with a special new gallery!

Head right over now!

I hope everyone has a good holiday.

Well, I've just about survived Christmas dinner with my ex. I'm glad I had Sam, but we also ended up having Jason and Joel, the two boys who are the sons of my ex's best friend. Sam sees them as cousins, so they had to be included, I guess.

It wasn't horrible, but I hated having to hide the present Mom got Dorothy, and I dont feel very well, like I'm coming down with something.

I guess it could be worse. By next year I might be fighting my ex for the right to see my child at all.

Ah, well

Ma is coming later tonight.   By some artful arm-twisting (not literally, of course) by Ma, Moe n I are playing   host to eighteen people for Christmas tomorrow. And one Shetland Sheepdog.   And Ma's invited herself to stay at the house tonight to help us prepare for the family Christmas lunch tomorrow.  

Here in Germany Christmas Eve is the most important part of Christmas.
Most people go to church in the afternoon followed a big meal and the gift giving in the evening.

In my family we normaly celebrate Christmas Eve without other guests. When my siblings moved out to start their own families they continued that custom.

Christmas Eve is for each family on thier own and then on the two Christmas Days some of us get together at one of their places if it is possible.

Where did the time go? It seems just yesterday was the middle of summer still. OK... not really.

Though this year does, in turns, feel like it went by awfully fast, but that an awful lot happened.

Well... the situation at home has pretty well stagnated. Every time I try to push any further, my mother about bites my head off and the heads of anyone who she feels is supporting me too much.

I've decided to move out. First, because I want to. Second. Because I want to. Third... ;)

OK, real reason out of the way, some of the rationalizations:

I hope that you have a wonderful season of joy and Love. Merry Christmas, happy Hannukah and have an amazing new year!!!

In this particular case if they all disappeared I would not feel any remorse.

A bit of nonsense from the Guardian which I think is art imitating art, it was done here long since. See the link below to read it yourself including a passage of Shirley Holmes and Dr Jane Watson.

PS. I seem to have over 50,000 of those kudo things, will I need a bigger house if I get any more?

And I just finished the first edit of Assassin part eight. What a drag. I sent it off to Holly to be edited, but it wiil be a bit of time before the last installment of this story is posted. Yeah, I know, why not right away? Well it's almost eighty one thousand words long and believe me reading and rewriting something like this takes time. Hopefully I didn't leave a mess for Holly to unravel. As much as I liked the first parts of the story, I think this last bit is the best.

I'm so not looking forward to work tonight. I'm so anxious that things arent going well, that I'm almost having trouble breathing. Ah, well, have to tough it out.

Though I posted this as an answer to a comment on my story, I decided to also post it as a blog.

Very silly, but a good example of how some of us think.

On the 25th December most people will be celebrating and Christmas with their family and friends.

Let everyone in the Free World spend a few moments for those who are serving and dying in foreign fields,and those that have already make the Ultimate sacrfice.

I know there are a few Ex servicemen and Women that use Big Closet and like myself will know the hardships and reality of war in our attempts to keep our countries safe.

I found a poem on the internet that many may not of heard

Saw this and thought I would share.

So the other day, the 18th, my roommate and I went to Kroger. For those who don't know, Kroger is major chain of grocery stores. While we were there, I made her go down the seasonal isle and was angry to find that they had removed most of the stuff from it already. Found out they've been removing candy and stuff from there since the 10th. Really? We have to put up with Christmas stuff before Halloween and it's not even a week before and they were pulling the Christmas stuff? the Easter candy is already out. the roommate went to Wal Mart yesterday to find the same thing.

Due to a very cooperative tailwind, our plane landed early, and I got through customs real quick on account of I only had my wheelie and my wardrobe bag, and I am now home.   I missed my Moe.  

For awhile I've been trying to get to what's going on or not going on between Angel and Raven. So I'd like some opinions from those of you out there.

Can Raven realistically be with Angel with him being a guy and not transitioning?
Can a straight boy even if in costume, living as a woman/girl full time possibly be a lesbian? I'm sorry if that notion hits a button but I'm not sure the relationship if there becomes one would ever be Het in nature.

I'd love everyone's thoughts on this.

Konichiwa.

So sorry to ask, but can I ask for advice?   Since Bobbie-chan asked me to turn off the computer last night, I have been having problems with Google and Yahoo.   We don't turn it off so I am scaried if I damaged something when I shut down last night.

Yesterday, when I was getting dressed, I noticed I'm getting a little definition in my breasts - they seem slightly more "perky" and I have cleavage. It looks a little different from the "moobs" (Man-boobs) I have had up to now. It might just be my imagination, since I have had no "growing pains" there, but I'll take it.

Remember Brandon King, the 15 year old shot in the back of the head in a computer lab 3 years ago?
This article still calls him 'gay', though Larry was portraying as female at school.

Southern California teen sentenced for killing gay student

VENTURA -- A Southern California teenager was sentenced on Monday to 21 years in state prison for killing shooting a gay student in the back of the head during a computer lab class three years ago.

I seem to be classified primarily as a writer of transsexual serials, and it's true I have one or two on the go, including one which is probably the longest TG story in existence and still going strong.

I do also write short stories and they're not all about people changing sex, some simply like to cross-dress. I've also contributed drabbles and poetry/doggerel.

For those who think I just write endless serials about neurotic women, try the links below - I hope it will change your mind. Do I have a favourite? 'Yes, Interview with a Vamp.'

Hi

According to a local newscast, the defense team for Pvt. Bradley Manning, the soldier accused of leaking secret documents to Wikileaks, says Manning has Gender-Identity-Disorder. It was one of his alternate female personalities that leaked the documents. ???????

I have not been able to come up with a source for that last statement, but the APWire has this in it's story: "The defense has said that Manning, who is gay, was bullied by fellow soldiers. Manning's defense team says he told Adkins he suffered from gender-identity disorder - the belief that he was born the wrong sex."

I've been part of this community for a little over four years, but I don't think I've ever said much about who I am or where I fall in the spectrum of transgendered people.

I have tried many things over the years to get a little extra life for a breast form once I have inevitably gotten a cut in the protective film. As I do sleep in the forms this will happen.

Usually I get close to two years before it does though.

My latest ones only went about a year.
