Just a bit of random musings here about how my tendons have changed since starting on hormones ( Read more... ) -

After a legal name change, you're just getting started. You have to inform a million and one different organizations. Many are easy. Just tell them the new name and tada. Others require sometimes ridiculous methods of proof. I've gotten MOST of these out of the way, but there are a few stubborn stragglers who just do NOT want to listen ( Read more... ) -
Ohai! I can haz nooyer?
I was tempted to wait on this since next Wednesday is the six month anniversary of my last post, but I gotta give New Years its due. As I mentioned on Twitter, my resolutions are to read 52 books, write 1 book, exercise 156 times, and listen to 17885 songs. So I figure to help keep me on task, I'll report back here every Friday morning with my ( Read more... ) -
Montana
Only two more days until I head out to visit my parents in Montana. We talk often, and they know whats up with me, but it'll still be the first time face to face since I started on hormones and everything. That should be interesting. I'll be out there for two weeks, so I hope the area isn't too intolerant. I've sorta gotten used to the "we're a ( Read more... ) -

Oh, yeah. And one of my teeth broke last night. A tooth that's been bugging me for a while. And now... I feel much better. See, it's had this crack in it, and I was afraid when it went, it would break down through the tooth and cause horrible problems. Instead, the break turned upwards and just ablated part of the tooth away. Sure, there's a hole ( Read more... ) -
One Down
The new quarter started, and the first week is out of the way. I was worried that the crappy professor I got would ruin compilers, but it looks like we're still getting to do cool stuff, even if he's a walking powerpoint during class. Volcanology is still kinda up in the air as far as interest goes, but it due to a way-confusing series of events, I ( Read more... ) -

I'm constantly surprised by the varying ways in which people react to me. Yesterday, as my advisor was sending me off to do my exit interview with the department head, she told me "Your opinion is especially important. We don't have a lot of women in the department." This is one area where I'm still really unsure what people think. Which gender do ( Read more... ) -

I just got back from the social security office, where everything went smoothly. Better than smooth, even. I went in with my new driver's license to update my name with them. The guy behind the counter was cool, although the umpteen-billionth person to think Chloe is pronounced "klo". Seriously, it's not that uncommon of a name, is it? Anyways, he ( Read more... ) -
I'm Official!
I'm sitting at the_black_drop down the street from the courthouse after a very quick and painless appearance to get my name changed. The judge was comedic, which is awesome. I was expecting some stuffy guy to be all frowny faced at me, or something, but he was perfectly happy, and bam. I has official papers. I still have to stop by the social security office ( ( Read more... )
