So, yeah. I am sitting in the PRIDE! office, and I was talking to a few of my classmates from my photoj2 class. It started out with just complaining that she wasn't specific enough with her directions, and how she's basically a moron. But it eventually turned into me thinking (out loud) that photojournalism is just not for me. What sucks is that it ( Read more... )

Lately, I have been feeling like Batty from Fern Gully. You know, the bat that has an antennae in his head, and he randomly shorts out and doesn't quite function correctly. Yeah, that's me. I have been kinda in a fog and sometimes I'll start talking about something and then forget completely what I was trying to say. Also, I have been having mini ( Read more... )

So, as of late, I've been trying to figure out how to talk to my parents about transitioning. Part of me wants to just sit them down or take them out to dinner and tell them that I want to go on testosterone. I'm really scared to tell them because ever since I came out to them, they haven't really made an effort to acknowledge the fact that I'm a ( Read more... )

So, I haven't gotten much sleep the past few days(to be specific, 13 hours in 3 days), or much food for that matter. I have been awake since 730 this morning, and all I've eaten is a bagel from yesterday's vendors and a piece of red velvet cake from work today....I kinda want to puke from the sugar intake, but I need something in my stomach. ha.

So, since I last talked at you all, I've begun to make more solid plans in my life. I'm going to take out half of my rent my first paycheck of the month and the other half the second paycheck. I usually get 2 paychecks a month, so that'll be nice to have a closer to constant source of money in my bank account. I have less than a dollar, but my mom ( Read more... )

So, as many of you know, I haven't been quite myself lately. I've been having a hard time dealing with the fact that my romantic relationship with Kat is over, and our platonic relationship is still going. She's dating someone new, and she's really nice. And I'm sorry to Kat because I hurt her by not being so nice to her when she came over this ( Read more... )

So, yeah. A lot of stuff has come and gone since nearly a month ago when I last posted. but here are the highlights ( Read more... )

This weekend off was just what I needed to get me back on track mentally. Friday went well. Saturday, I got to sleep in until noon, I went to the grocery store and then came home. We had some people over to watch movies and smoke my new hookah. We ended up watching Venture Brothers and eating red velvet cake and smoking my hookah and having a gay ( Read more... )

That's what the woman I saw today at the psychological services told me. When I told her my story and we talked about the usual intake stuff. She said that even though I've gone through a lot of stuff in my personal life, being trans and all (not like it's the worst thing that could happen to me), I am really well adjusted. She said that after 3 ( Read more... )
