To All readers of "Tragedy" I will be posting the last two Parts this week. This will close out my synapse of my life. I will however at a later oppertunity post filler parts. I am to undergo LIver surgery on the 27th of May. I wish to thank all the Readers who have followed my Story. I greatly appreciate this oppertunity to share my story with you.

I have a TG fan fiction I wrote that takes place after the events in the movie Serenity, which was the sequel to the televisions series Firefly. I was wondering if there might be interest here, although i will say that there are spoilers embedded in the story for those who haven't seen the film yet.

Anyone interested?

I am looking for links about the APA's appointment of Dr.Zucker to the dsm 5 board.Also any news storys showing him in the positive or negative and if any legal suits brought against him or medical board complaints.I'm looking for links to post in my group.Amy

A couple days ago, when news of the California Supreme Court ruling overturning the ban on same-sex marriage was announced, my partner asked me to marry her...

1705 British Summer Time

The top five stories for the last couple of hours are by Heulwen, Angharad, Angharad, Heulwen and Alys.

Is this a conspiracy?

Or are the Welsh writers trying to make up for the failure of their premier football team in the cup final?

Should we ever have left our coal mines?

First let me say thank you to all who have commented on my entry from last night. I didn't really intend to bare my soul so much, it just sort of happened, but the response was very encouraging. I might need to consider a No BUI (Blogging Under the Influence) rule, however.

I'm only slightly tipsy this afternoon, so I should be safe. Hey, like Jimmy Buffet says, it's 5 o'clock somewhere.

I'm feeling a little philosophical tonight, so I thought I might try blogging some of it out. Forgive me if I ramble.

There are quite a few authors that have posted stories here at Big Closet Top Shelf that have posted stories over at Erin's new site Fictioneer!

I am the twin sister of Edeyn Blackeney. I arrived here at her home from the hospital and her computer was logged into this site, so I looked around. Apparently, she's known pretty well here.

I met with my boss this morning and we finally decided on a start date for my RLT to begin, so on the 27th of May, Catherine finally comes into her own...or at least begins to. The county Attorney is also on board in this and I have his backing as well.

I started a new blog, rather than replying to Gwen's latest, because I had some info that perhaps some of us haven't read.

The novel writing contest ended during that time my mom was in the hospital and I had no spare attention. Twice since then, I've sat down and constructed the polls needed for people to vote on the contest and twice Murphy ate my breakfast. It's been six months, the novel contest is over. Everybody that entered won. Sorry, I just don't have the steam; that locomotive left the station empty.

For anyone who's interested, I am having a great deal of trouble getting The Sight back on track.

The reason is, a couple of people decided to try ripping me a new one in the comments and it kind of took the wind out of my sails. Since then, I managed to produce one chapter, but it seems the muse was not amused and no matter how hard I try, I can't seem to get it together.

Currently, there have been several comments about slavery and those states that have laws that are more tolerant of the trans-gendered in the United States Of America and Canada.

I am a Christian. I was raised a Southern Baptist. I am lucky that their dogma did not poison me. I believe that GOD LOVES us all and that HE will not oppose one that wants to correct their body to the gender that they want to be. If you are T.G. in anyway, God will accept you as you are.

Hi Everyone

In my rush to get to the end, which been filling my head for days, I left out a few crucial lines that may or may not be significant :-)

If you were one of the first 200 readers you would have missed it.
Sooooorry

"Yes, they are," said Amarjit," and do you know where there is a really good medical school?"

bombs bursting in air... yeah, this is actually going on over my head as I write this - no, I'm not in a war zone, it's neighboring B***** College setting off a fireworks display to honor the graduating seniors. I've just reached a rather momentous decision in my life, which is why I've been rather distracted, lying rather low lately (is that a tongue twister?), trying to figure things out.

I want to thank all of your for your comments on my attempt at writing something worthy in Karen's world.

I would have liked to have responded to Stanman's blog, but I think there is more to it than that. As an author I've always written a story completely before posting it. The exception is Show Me The Money. I know that was a shameless plug, but that wasn't the point. All my stories were posted as a complete work, with the exception of Runway.

A couple days ago, someone posted a link to an NPR program on approaches to treating TG children.

Here's part 2 of the series:

I just got off the phone with the Waldenbooks store manager. Between us we have set the date for the signing! It will be May 31st, which is a Saturday afternoon, from 2-4PM. See my previous blog entries for the location. All advertising has to be done by me, including some kind of poster they can hang in their window, explaining what, when, and where.

As I approach episode 300 of Falling Off A Bike, I think I'd like to take check on if readers still want me to continue posting them or to bring it to a conclusion.

I'm aware it's at best literature lite, but given its preparation is zero, I really do write them directly to the site, which sometimes shows.

The power was off last night. There was just me and my laptop in the dark, and my mind started to wander around.

Imaginary Conversations I Might Have Had Once, With a Girl

One

Felicia, I know I’m not cool, and I promise I’ll never tell anyone we’re, you know, we have anything going on, but, do you think, I mean, could we just be friends? Friend friends?

Downside risk: Eeww!

Upside possibility: You mean talk and stuff? I s’pose so. [Thinking] Uh, Harry, would you help me with my Algebra?

I don't get the blues, I get the grays. Life seems colorless and little annoyances seem sharply defined because of contrast. The few joys in this state feel faded and evanescent and cause for more sadness because each one is small and fleeting.

I was reading a story, I thought was called "Rhapsody" and now I can not find it. I thought PB wrote it. "Hellllllppppp!", The young drama queen cried piteously. Anyhow it was about a Bass player in a band who dressed as a girl to hide out from bad guys.

I became aquainted with the Internet in 1980. Remember the amber screen, DOS, 720 kb flopies, and the 8088 chip? Oh, there had been been people messing about with tiny PCs before that but I never could see the point of it with their miniscule capabilities. I didn not want to mess with computers, I wanted to do something.

'Falling off a bike' started as an experience of cycling through a thunderstorm. Today, I cycled through another one, this time on a mountain bike, with some wet weather gear and mudguards on the bike.

Thanks to everyone who helped with the title, and KarenLS for the winner!

Ah here we go, this is one of those lunatic rambles inspired, if that's anything like the word, by various 'conversations' with several different people. It's about identity and self perception and that big little three letter word, you know the one, it's every bloody where, whether you think about it or not. I mean what is it that sells and what do your average 14 year old boys think about every 3.5 seconds or something?

My posting for the next 3 chapters will be delayed as i am to reenter hospital tomorrow. I am experiencing significant discomfort from my surgery. I also have a severe infection in my bladder and kidneys. BLESSINGS TO ALL. I will return soon to post THE TRIAL part of my autobiographical story.

Thanks for your patience and understanding.

So, when I was talking about posting the pieces of this story I wrote as a sort of fanfic, The Violet Ajah, I was proud of the fact that I had actually gotten James Rigney's permission to write it, as well as the fact that he liked the first 4 chapters of it when I sent them to him. [NOTE: James Rigney is the real name of the author known as Robert Jordan]

J.T. here!.

I was at the Outback this evening and saw a story on ESPN that intrigued me, so I looked it up when I got home. Last Saturday the Western Oregon girl's softball team was playing Central Washington, when senior Sarah Tucholsky, for the first time in her life, knocked one over the fence with two girls on base.

I just got off the phone with the manager of our local Waldenbooks store. It seems that they CAN order my book and STOCK it, which means that they CAN and WILL schedule my book signing!!

I informed the manager of my TG status and that I would be into my RLT by the time we get this set up and she replied that it would be no problem!!!

It may have been there for months. Everyone else probably knows about it, commented upon it even, but I have just noticed another male/female brain test on the BBC website at http://www.bbc.co.uk/science/humanbody/sex/add_user.shtml

According to the blurb -

'Some researchers say that men can have 'women's brains' and that women can think more like men.

In which we find Arcie lamenting about the forces of evil interrupting the creation of a masterpiece (or at least into something consisting of pixels shaped into characters, in turn being shaped into words, then sentences, then paragraphs...).

I have completed the Point Of View on Ahgharad's Easy As Falling Off A Bike with me posting Bonzi's View.

I have asked and have been given permission to do Point Of View upon Kaleigh Way's stories.

So the next Point Of View will be upon Marcie and her world, then Short Chapters.

hi all. for all those interested, there is a Kim and Server update posted on my blog. Piper's Geeky Blog

Interesting letter in Dear Abby this weekend. It's from a person in Tennessee who's concerned about the son of some prominent townspeople. Seems the boy, who is in fifth grade (12 years old), has not been allowed to get his hair cut and is being teased about looking like a girl. Now, this would have been heaven for most of us, but the writer terms it child abuse.
