Someone ever tries to kill you, you try to kill 'em right back! Mal (Nathan Fillion), Firefly

Good old Mal!

"Why do we fall? So that we might better learn to pick ourselves up."

from Batman Begins

Wherever you go, when you get there........there you are.

Nobody is nobody. Everyone has something to offer.

If all wishes were gratified, many dreams would be destroyed.

Nothing is ever what it seems but everything is exactly what it is.

The only reason for time is so that everything doesn't happen at once.

All from Buckaroo Banzai - the first four apply especially to all of us transitioning and the last explains why it takes so long.

And now for one more that explains the frustrations of trying to help someone in a difficult situation armed only with a keyboard and the Internet.

There are times when verbal ingenuity is not enough.

Love ya,

Sally

A good movie is one you can relate to, and even after watching in 120 times, still sends a shiver down your spine.

[Michelle 2010]

Ok, I went thru the pages to make sure I wasn't repeating.

Having a resentment is like taking poison and expecting the other person to die...

Resentment: Letting someone live rent free in your head...

He doesn't make friends he takes hostages...

Life, a near death experience (maybe heard that here?)

Life isn't a dress rehearsal.

And of course my favorite, the definition of Insanity...Doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.

Dont waste your breath, if you have to ask if somebody is okay, you already know they arent, instead, simply say you're sorry, and hug them.

If you say you are better than no one and no one is better than you, you’ve got nothing to win and nothing to lose.

My versions of two famous quotes:

1. "Ignorance is bliss until the truth comes crashing through your door"

2. "What you don't know will become what you know right before it hurts you"

[Guest Emily Ray]

Here is one from Abraham Lincon.

"If you call the tail a leg how many legs does a dog have? Four, just because you call a tail a leg doesn't make it a leg!"

Huggs,

"We've got nothing to fear but fear itself.

Not pain, not failure, not fatal tragedy,

Not the faulty units in this mad machinery,

Not the broken contacts in emotional chemistry."

Who the hell is 'General Failure'? And why is he trying to read my hard disk?!

"What doesnt kill me, better run fast as hell" -another friend of mine, she silly XD

[Guest Chrysee]

It's kind of depressing but I'd often envisioned myself like that. I imagined myself growing older, moving far away and doing something about my personal issues because I am not sure if I will ever be able to tell them. I think about keeping track of them as they age while I live alone knowing I was too afraid of their company. I know this is a very negative thought but I sometimes think that I will not be able to be myself until I am away from those who think they know me. They have been my family, friends and neighbours for too long to accept a sudden shock. I am alone and I am afraid I might experience the same thing as an entire life is shed for a new one. I am the chrysalid and I don't know what hatching will mean.

"Isolation is my death and silence is my tomb"

_me

Chrysalid,

But the cool part is, all of these people that tormented me so or misunderstood and did more harm than good, or just plain did nothing at all, are dead. Or, they just plain wandered back down The Time Tunnel and now have their mail sent to The Past.

The point is, not only am I beginning a new life, but a new life without most of the old cast. Therefore, I packed light before setting off.

Imagine taking a soul shower and that's rather like what it feels like.

It makes sense but I feel kind of selfish thinking that way. I know I would be better off if I were to move on but I can not shake the feeling that these thoughts are self centred.

O disturbing boy.

When the Goddess made you,

did she hesitate,

perplexed, over the question of your sex?

Did she choose?

Did she submit to her creation and it's power to confuse?

Soft of skin,

large of hand.

Girl and boy.

Unfinished man.

-Section from "Naked Man", a piece from "The Gay Men's Chorus of Houston"

-Text and music by Philip Littell/Robert Seeley

It's just something I found in a book...

"I keep looking for optimism, then I realized, there's no silver lining along the smog."

[Guest 91curiouskitten]

There's always a little truth behind every 'jk', a little knowledge behind every 'idk', a little emotion behind every 'idc', and a little pain behind every 'it's OK'-Anon

[Guest Roxanna L]

Not really a quote, but a pair of 'poems'. I really had a good laugh on these.

Too bad the naughty filter made some adjustments...

Enjoy!

I'm Glad I'm a Man

I'm glad I'm a man, you better believe.

I don't live off of yogurt, diet coke, or cottage cheese

I don't (pregnant dog) to my girlfriends about the size of my breasts

I can get where I want to - north, south, east or west

I don't get wasted after only 2 beers

and when I do drink I don't end up in tears.

I won't spend hours deciding what to wear,

I spend 5 minutes max fixing my hair

and I don't go around checking my reflection

in everything shiny from every direction.

I don't whine in public and make us leave early

then when you ask "why", get all bitter and surly.

I'm glad I'm a man, I'm so glad I could sing

I don't have to sit around waiting for that ring.

I don't gossip about friends or stab them in the back

I don't carry our differences into the sack.

I'll never go psycho and threaten to kill you

or think every guy out there's trying to steal you.

I'm rational, reasonable, and logical too

I know what the time is and I know what to do.

And I honestly think its a privilege for me

to have these two (testicles) and stand when I pee

I live to watch sports and play all sorts of ball

It's more fun than dealing with women after all

I won't cry if you figure out it's not going to work

I won't remain bitter and call you a jerk.

Feel free to use me for immediate pleasure

I won't assume it's permanent by any measure.

Yes, I'm glad I'm a man, a man you see

I'm glad I'm not capable of child delivery

I don't get all bitchy every 28 days

I'm glad that my gender gets me a much bigger raise

I'm a man by chance and I'm thankful it's true

I'm so glad I'm a man and not a woman like you!

I'm Glad I'm A Woman

I'm glad I'm a woman, yes I am, yes I am

I don't live off of Budweiser, beer nuts and Spam

I don't brag to my buddies about my erections

I won't drive to Hell before I ask for directions

I don't get wasted at parties and act like a clown

and I know how to put the damned toilet seat down!

I won't grab your hooters, I won't pinch your butt

my belt buckle's not hidden beneath my beer gut

and I don't go around "readjusting" my crotch

or yell like Tarzan when my head-board gets a notch

I don't belch in public, I don't scratch my behind

I'm a woman you see -- I'm just not that kind!

I'm glad I'm a woman, I'm so glad I could sing

I don't have body hair like shag carpeting

It doesn't grow from my ears or cover my back

When I lean over you can't see 3 inches of crack

And what's on my head doesn't leave with my comb

I'll never buy a toupee to cover my dome

Or have a few hairs pulled from over the side

I'm a woman, you know -- I've got far too much pride!

And I honestly think its a privilege for me

to have these two boobs and squat when I pee

I don't live to play golf and shoot basketball

I don't swagger and spit like a Neanderthal

I won't tell you my wife just does not understand

stick my hand in my pocket to hide that gold band

or tell you a story to make you sigh and weep

then screw you, roll over and fall sound asleep!

Yes, I'm glad I'm a woman, a woman you see

you can forget all about that old penis envy

I don't long for male bonding, I don't cruise for chicks

join the Hair Club For Men, or think with my (penis)

I'm a woman by chance and I'm thankful it's true

I'm so glad I'm a woman and not a man like you!
