Oh FUDGE just when I find out everything's okay, I just got a call from Sephrena last night saying that she has toxic shock syndrome, and they caught it just in time, but she won't be back till hopefully today. Apparently she told me mew that the pads she was using for her post operational care were giving her a severe allergic reaction, and caused the swelling to intensify, the doctor is doing his best to care for her, but please keep her in your prayers, I'm really worried mew ;_;

One of our BC family, Karen_J has suffered a family health crisis.

Depressed as hell here. All my stuff is packed. ALL of it. It's all in the PODS that we got. Tomorrow it's picked up. The house echos. There's nothing here.

Today, 30th November, is St Andrew's Day. St Andrew is the patron saint of Scotland, when we Scots eat haggis neeps and tatties with a dram of whisky poured over them as gravy, wear the kilt and play bagpipes.

Edeyn, please note for next year.

Hugs,
Gabi

My god, I feel so bad right now. I just had to give one of my friends the 'I just wanna be friends' speech.

Hi everybody. I checked my messages this morning and I found this message on myspace. It is from a guy who lives near me.

I just posted a story the other day and it hasent got a very favable reviews. I dont blame them, apon rereading it, it has so many errors, misspelling and miswording of sentenses. I guress the story is very poor quality. IM thinking about taking it down and reworking it to make it better. Should i?

hey I am working on a story right now about a guy who has always wondered what it would be like to be a girl. He gets the chance to be a girl for a day. At the end of the day he doesn't want to be a boy again he wants t stay a girl. Keep checking in for more updates.Dan\Kim

For those of you waiting for a new Sissy Saga update, sorry it's going to be delayed for a while.

Today was a day of double meaning for me. I celebrated Thanksgiving with my entire family together for the first time since 2001 and it is my 38th birthday. I know I have a lot to be thankful for with having my family together, but on the other hand I feel down because I haven't been able to achieve the goals I had for my transition. When I originally set out living fulltime in 2005, I had a goal of having my SRS completed by this year. 2008 has been a nightmare for me both personally and professionally.

For Americans, tomorrow is a very special day and for our friends in other countries, we invite you to join with us in being thankful.

So I've been reading a few stories here lately and while i've been drawn in by certain plots, I've been turned off of the stories to the point where i stop reading, by one big problem... vocabulary.

In the news this morning is a story about unrest, and even a bombing in Bangkok. I hope that Sephrina is safe. We should be praying for her. I imagine that she is freaking out.

I was watching yuotube the other day and discovered a series by accident. It follows the lives of beauty contestants, their hopes and loves, and how they got to where they are now. Chapter twenty-four is a very emotional experience.
The series can be found at CrushedPlanet.com and is titled Gender Blender. It is very well done and well worth the $9.99 for a months unlimited viewing, Arecee

Having come through the Rememberance day, I have a few observations to make. The statistics surrounding T life frighten me right out of my wits; making me want to hide in my room and never go out. There are some things about the killings that strike me though.

Several of them were after midnight after the tgirl had left a club alone. One was while she was walking down a country road alone. After a while I begin to see a pattern. I think about what other women that I know would do.

I have hit yet another minor road block on my way to completing 'Boys of Summer', that while not stopping me writing does prevent posting.

I'm running out of song exerpts to use for intros.

I am... The Lexivorous Word Witch

(19,947*74) = 1,476,078
1,476,078 + 61,041 = 1,537,119

I'm curious, has anyone heard anything about or from Ellen Hayes? This has been the longest interval in the story that I can remember.

Some sort of attack brought the server down at about 8:15 PST this morning. Bob and I are working on figuring this out, so the site may go up and down a bit for awhile.

How I would look if I had unlimited funds.

Looks like I'm not going to be getting some of the things I wanted to do this weekend accomplished since I woke up with a head cold. I have to take care with these things because they can turn into bronchitis and pneumonia for me very quickly so it's off to the drugstore for stuff and then maybe back to bed.

Hugs,
Erin

...how shocked I am that the Sissy series is getting as much good feedback as it is? I'm thrilled and gratified. I was truthfully expecting that it wouldn't be that well received, mainly because of the improbability of it.

But apparently there are people who like it. Wow.

Ive got a quick question for te lovely readers.....
Has anyone tried to put
Agent Ally Burns in a story order?
Im attempting to do so but running into problems on the time line.

Well, we are moving in with friends for a couple months while our application for Section 8 housing goes through. That's the three of us, our roommate is another story, and the four feets are going to be displaced for a while.

Currently sitting in a house with no water, and no heat. The floor heaters are doing a decent job keeping us comfortable, but I want my water back on.

There once was a t-gal from space
Who stunned us with beauty and grace
The whole planet gasped
And earthlings all grasped
This t-gal would soon run the place

It's me again. In my blog from yesturday I talked about my car accident. I want to make it clear that it was my moms car that I was using while my own car was getting a oil change and a brake line fixed.

That's right. I did it again. What did I do, you ask? Well I fell asleep at the wheel again today. I Sleept yesturday morning after getting home from working a double shift. I sleep from a little after 8am untill 1pm. Then I fell asleep a little after midnight and woke up at 4 am today so that I could go to work. To day was a very rough day and There was no chance for lunch. On my way home I was having trouble staying awake. I turned off the heat and cracked a window hopeing the cold air would wake me up.

I don't generally scare easily, within the bounds of realistic need to take threats seriously. However, last night gave me a sinking feeling. I hoped that the threat to BC was a temporary one, because the trauma to me personally, would be enormous, were it to close.

Hi All,

I'm not mad at anyone. I don't think this whole thing had much to do with anyone else's actions.

The site was down temporarily here because I needed to cool off from a temper tantrum. In the last two weeks, I have put in more than forty hours a week in running BC to the neglect of many other aspects of my life. Count in Bob's time during that span and we're talking more than 130 hours that in a just world could be billed at $115 an hour to someone (yes, that's what I used to bill). About $15,000.

STANMAN63: She is 15 years old and has never wrote before until she came up on a hook and wanted people to read her first "OK" as she says, story.

A recent thread got off topic, the topic being a story. Things were beginning to heat up with first a few mild general insults and then some that were more pointed. It really hadn't got out of hand and many people seemed to be enjoying things but I finally felt that it had gone on long enough since the topic was continuing four and five levels deep without reference to the story.

So ...

These reflections were sparked by the comments following Nancy Cole's 'A Different Kind of Courage' Part 17. And in particular by Angharad and Karen's contribution. :)

Another heart attack victim. Yep. At about 5 minutes to 10pm (US Eastern) tonight, I had a heart attack. I was rushed to the Emergency Room by my roommate and rushed through triage and they had the doctor in to see me posthaste. The Triage Nurse, the ER Nurse, the X-Ray Tech, The EKG Tech, and the Doctor were all splendid.

It's the only excuse I can think of for why I haven't got the voting widget up for the All Souls Day Contest. The software is so crotchety it takes an enormous concentration to get it up and working right or you have to start all over. I'm not worthy.

Anyway, I will get it up and it will be up for a week and it's just unlikely to be this weekend like I wanted it to be. I used up a couple weeks allotment of concentration on fixing some website problems Friday and Saturday and all I want to do today is sleep and eat nachos.

Forgive me.

Hugs,
Erin

Mudbugs, crawdads, crayfish, whatever you call 'em, Boys of Summer needs a recipe for how you cook 'em.

Is anybody else having trouble getting onto Storysite, it was working earlier but now I can't log in.

It's my BIRTHDAY TODAY!!! YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY ^^ I'm six now ^^

Well, my late night muse has struck again. I was just kicked in the head to write the third story in the series of Sissy stories. However, it's 2 in the morning, and I was up at 6 AM this morning.

I'm taking a sleeping pill and going to bed. I'm freaking tired. I'll probably have it up at some point this weekend. This one is going to be a bit more thoughtful, a bit more realistic and a bit more meaty.

There have been continuing problems for many people with the persistent login function. I hope that Bob and I have now fixed this by uninstalling and then reinstalling the module. Unfortunately, that wiped out everyone's pre-existing persistent login so we all have to do that over but it appears to be working now. :)

Hugs,
Erin

Many times in my life I have taken crap from other people. I did not have the good comebacks or the will power to stand up to them. When I started at my present job it was much the same. However, I soon learned to use my sarcasm and humor to defend myself and get what I needed. I learned to use my size to my advantage. Now that I’m dealing with my problems I don’t know how to turn these responses off. It’s difficult. I’m trying to change who I am and the smart ass remarks come out with out me even thinking about them. Now I’ve been suspended from work.

I have been very upset over the open ended Safe Haven law in Nebraska. For those who are unfamiliar with it, it allows for parents to legally abandon children in a hospital up to age 18. The governor of Nebraska has called a Special Session of the legislature to fix the loophole and limit it to newborns up to three days old. Parents have been coming to Nebraska from other states and dropping off their kids before this loophole is closed. There have been twenty three kids dropped in Nebraska since July. Half are teenagers.

I think I want to share just a bit more here. I have several blogs around the Internet, one for my religious stuff, one for my personal stuff, one for memes and so on, one for me as Joy and this one. But here I think I can open up some.

See, there's a lot of pain in here. I don't know how I as Joy came out as well adjusted as I did, mainly because of some of what has happened. Just like the character in my stories, I worked my backside off to fit into the world of maleness. Just like that character, I now feel trapped with no way out.

As an author, it's nice to get comments for my work.

It shows that people care enough to take time out of their busy lives to respond to a story.

The main things are:

1. Always use the same pattern.
