This is me venturing into this site. I am an outsider here after all.

Am I angry?, no, just a stroll through another neighbor hood.

How do people see me here? 

Not really sure, never gave it a thought. After all, I'm just passing through.

How do I see people here?

No different than those in my neighborhood.

Today I was thinking about when I first came out.

After the meetings and finally going out on my own "she legs"

@LindaMarie:

 

"Runnin' with the devil" is a genuine classic (definitely a Van Halen fan here)!

 

The Amy Winehouse song (Rehab) is a phenomenal one too, that I suspect many trans people can relate to at least on some level, even if not always necessarily as a literal connection to the lyrics (or...sometimes, more literal). My first introduction to that song (and to any of Amy Winehouse's music for that matter) was from Rock Band...uhmmm...I want to say Rock Band 3? To this day, "Rehab" is still one of my absolute favorite songs to do vocals on in Rock Band. I like to think I'm not too terrible at it!

One brilliant song—a meticulously told tale of painful school-days. Were you an ugly-duckling in high school, too?  Song by Janis Ian — "At Seventeen"

Extreme metal got me through my teen years. Some might think people grow out of some things, but not me. I still have a soft spot for it, even to this day as a fresh 30 something. Specifically old school style gothic metal using the "beauty and the beast" contrasting harsh and clean vocal approach.

Russian bands like Little Dead Bertha seem to keep that style of gothic metal alive into the modern era.

Listening to the raw tracks a friend of mine sent me from her new album! I can't share but I'm fangirling so hard right now! Squee!

 

Hugs!

Today I am trying to lift my spirits so I'm listening to Peat and Diesel. The best thing to come out of The Western Isles since Stornoway's Marag Dhu! (black pudding) There are better quality recordings to listen to, but the lyrics to "Say you love me" speak to me today.

@DeeDee I am incapable of listening to and watching this without feeling better!  May the worst of your future be the best of your past!   I hope this helps.

@Ticket For Epic Thanks! I love hearing people sing in their natural accent! I'd not heard of Spook school, but have always liked the sound of indie bands.  😊 "A little bit hopeful" was good too. The sound reminded me of Harvey Danger.

      What is relaxation to you? Nature? Movie? Reading? Cuddling with a pet? Music?

      AMUSEMENT The feeling when you encounter something silly, ironic, witty, or absurd, which makes you laugh. You have the urge to be playful and share the joke with others. Similar words: Mirth Amusement is the emotional reaction to humor. This can be something that is intended to be humorous, like when someone tells a good joke or when a friend dresses up in a ridiculous costume. But it can also be something that you find funny that was not intended to be humorous, like when you read a sign with a spelling error that turns it into an ironic pun. For millennia, philosophers and scholars have been attempting to explain what exactly it is that makes something funny. This has led to several different theories. Nowadays, the most widely accepted one is the Incongruity Theory, which states that something is amusing if it violates our standards of how things are supposed to be. For example, Charlie Chaplin-style slapstick is funny because it violates our norms of competence and proper conduct, while Monty Python-style absurdity is funny because it violates reason and logic. However, not every standard or norm violation is necessarily funny. Violations can also evoke confusion, indignation, or shock. An important condition for amusement is that there is a certain psychological distance to the violation. One of the ways to achieve this is captured by the statement ‘comedy is tragedy plus time’. A dreadful mistake today may become a funny story a year from now. But it can also be distant in other ways, for instance, because it happened to someone you do not know, or because it happens in fiction instead of in real life. Amusement also needs a safe and relaxed environment: people who are relaxed and among friends are much more likely to feel amused by something. A violation and sufficient psychological distance are the basic ingredients for amusement, but what any one person find funny will depend on their taste and sense of humor. There are dozens of ‘humor genres’, such as observational comedy, deadpan, toilet humor, and black comedy. Amusement is contagious: in groups, people are more prone to be amused and express their amusement more overtly. People are more likely to share amusement when they are with friends or like-minded people. For these reasons, amusement is often considered a social emotion. It encourages people to engage in social interactions and it promotes social bonding. Many people consider amusement to be good for the body and the soul. By the end of the 20th century, humor and laughter were considered important for mental and physical health, even by psychoneuroimmunology researchers who suggested that emotions influenced immunity. This precipitated the ‘humor and health movement’ among health care providers who believed that humor and laughter help speed recovery, including in patients suffering from cancer1). However, the evidence for health benefits of humor and laughter is less conclusive than commonly believed2. Amusement is a frequent target of regulation: we down-regulate it by shifting our attention to avoid inappropriate laughter, or up-regulate it by focusing on a humorous aspect of a negative situation. Interestingly, amusement that is purposefully up-regulated has been found to have the same beneficial physical and psychological effects as the naturally experienced emotion. Amusement has a few clear expressions that emerge depending on the intensity of the emotion. When people are mildly amused, they tend to smile or chuckle. When amusement intensifies, people laugh out loud and tilt or bob their head. The most extreme bouts of amusement may be accompanied by uncontrollable laughter, tears, and rolling on the floor. Most cultures welcome and endorse amusement. Many people even consider a ‘good sense of humor’ as one of the most desirable characteristics in a partner. At the same time, most cultures have (implicit) rules about what is the right time and place for amusement. For example, displays of amusement may be deemed inappropriate in situations that demand seriousness or solemness, such as at work or during religious rituals.

      Love it! This is great news. We need more of this to combat the excessive hate-filled rhetoric and misinformation. 👍

      The experience was the same for me @April Marie. I slept much deeper and I woke up each morning feeling so much more restful sleeping with forms solidly in place. For me, wearing breast forms at night started when before I was a teenager. I had no access up to modern breast forms and certainly no way to buy mastectomy bras back then. I wore a basic bra my mom had put in a donation box and two pairs of soft cotton socks. I have some crazy memories of things I did in my youth to combat my GD but regardless, these makeshift concoctions helped me work through it all.   All My Best, Susan R🌷

      Colorado isn't exactly a Republican place, and won't become one anytime soon.  I think those folks might be better off not spending their time playing Don Quixote.    We certainly have our share of California "refugees" moving into where I live, so I wouldn't be surprised to start seeing Coloradans too.  I suspect the trend over the next few years will see the blue areas getting more blue and the red areas getting more red as anybody who can relocate tries to find a place where they fit better.

      Well, at least it'll be a place some folks could choose.  Options are a good thing.

      My family would have gobbled that jar up in a minute or two.  When we do have pickled herring, its usually for Christmas.  I didn't grow up with that particular dish, but I grew up in a Greek family so I like just about any kind of fish if I can get it.  However, ocean fish and freshwater fish taste so different.  We usually have more catfish and tilapia to eat than anything else.    What I can't quite get used to is the tons of cabbage my GF insists on eating.  When you live with a Russian, there is always cabbage soup.  Always.  When I first moved in with her, breakfast was "shchi" for soup and either bread or "kasha" which is a bowl of boiled buckwheat with butter and salt.  Those dishes can be made in any number of ways, some are better than others.  In the winter, it can even be salty and sour like kraut.  Not exactly sauerkraut, but packed in tubs with vinegar and salt so it keeps partially for the winter.  But I drew the line when the cabbage soup included pieces of fried snake one day.  😆
