In which I am rambly.
So it's been a while again >.> Sorry! First there was half term and then there was James Bond and then Twishite, so I've been working more than usual. Speaking of Twishite, wtf. How on earth do so many teenage girls (and middle age women!) get off on being so THICK? How on earth can they not order tickets and food for a film without looking like cavemen discovering fire?! ( O____o; )
They have about as much expression as Kristen Stewart manages to muster in all 5 films (IE: 0. Nada. Nothing. Zilch. Zip.)
Nicely though, I have 2 shifts to do this week before I have 4 days off without any sort of interaction needed (except from my girl, obviously.) And then I have the work's Xmas meal which will be more stressful than necessary.
On a not work related note; I just found a lump on one of our little ratty boy's jaw- good thoughts please for him because he'll be going to the vet this week. Hopefully it'll just be an abcess.
This is the lad;
Uhmm....what else.
Oh yeah.
This might get a bit long, but stick with it if you can.
For .... well, as long as I remember, I've not really identified as the gender I was born.
I'm not transgender; it's not that I FEEL like a man in a woman's body, or wish to present as one, as such. I feel somewhere in the middle. Like, I do not feel like a woman or a man entirely. I feel a lot more like a man than a woman a lot of the time- I dress in a more masculine way and see myself as such, I cosplay only male characters, my personality is more like that of a male; but I also enjoy aspects of my femininity- I usually like my boobs and I like my long, girly-style hair, and I enjoy my vagina and most of its functions. Menstruation gives me dysphoria however I am also tokophobic (fear of childbirth and pregancy) which probably doesn't help!! xD I have spent YEARS trying to figure out how to explain this to people without sounding ridiculous or whiny or like I just don't know what's going on.
And now I have a term. Genderqueer.
And...the relief is amazing. I know I don't need to label myself under this broad, umbrella term....but I HAVE a term to use, one that fits and one I can use to help explain. It makes me feel so much better. :)
SO I think that's about it? Awesome.
