Good Things In Life

I guess there are three kinds of people in the world, those who can count, and those who can't.

I've seen this joke about twelve times in twelve different contexts in the last week. I don't mind at all that you wrote it, I'm just starting to get the strangest deja vu whenever I see or hear it.

I'm happy today because I had a good, long discussion about futures and relationships with a cute boy I've been meaning to get to know better. No, not in that way, he's taken, and I've taken a temporary vow of celibacy. Then we played Magic: The Gathering, which made me feel like I was in the seventh grade again.

Also, I keep experimenting with new recipes lately, and they've all turned out fantastically well. Today I made a chicken jambalaya/Mexican rice hybrid.

Jacci, that photograph is incredible. My computer now has a new desktop background.

Letting the sunshine in,

Lydia

I feel good about the way my week is starting out, for a change.

This month I am participating in the National Novel Editing Month (EdMo, for short) challenge. The goal of EdMo is to complete 50 hours of editing activities on a novel manuscript during the month of March. Half-way through the month (basically) and I am right on target hours-wise. Plus I feel I am farther along with the initial textual editing than I expected to be at this point.

At the same time I am taking an on-line course called the Two Year Novel (2YN), hosted by Forward Motion. This course spreads the entire process, from initial idea to starting the submissions process, out over two consecutive calendar years. With it I am completely caught up through this week's assignment, so I can focus more on character development for the sequel to the EdMo novel. (Both novels explore possible external influences on gender identity formation in children.)

Actually, now that I reflect on it, last night I did something else that sets this up as a good week: I dipped into my own DVD collection and watched a musical romance I totally love: Little Shop of Horrors.

I managed to book a wedding today so I can make my house payment.

I'm closing in on a settlement in my divorce and my lawyer thinks that I am now holding the upper hand, they are making consessions and seem to be in a hurry to settle.

I have had a request to shoot a wedding in Kentucky next year>

Tonight was jazz band and taco dinner night!

Today, life was good.

Love ya,

Sally

My therapist told me last night I am capable of passing as a woman now, and said she thought I should be having a hard time being accepted as male anymore. Think on that for a minute! YIKES

Hi all (big hugs!)

Sorry I didn't really catch up on the thread so I don't know anything much other than that Lizzy is going to have a hard time passing if she tries to pretend she's a guy. :D

But I had a backlog I wanted to get out there since I had been so depressing lately...

First, I got the door held for me and I got called "young lady" (giggle)...

Then, I was in a non-smoking section in this building and I had just quit smoking and these guys came in and stood to wait while palming cigarettes. I gave 'em hell, and the whole time I maintained my composure and just kept (loudly!) pointing out to them that they had the entire back half of the building to smoke, and long story short they kept saying "just turn around lady" "lady just let it drop" and the whole time even though I was being very loud I managed to never resonate in my chest and they never even had a clue. (My voice has been a big hurdle for me.) And finally the security guard (whom I knew) came and made them put their cigarettes out. I got thanked by the lady next to me, who I then proceeded to talk to for like another half hour and I don't think she had a clue either! Yay!!!!

Then, today when I logged in I had some really nice PMs from Mia and Naomi and they touched me...

And finally... I think I've found someone that's going to be very good for me and vice versa; I know in my head that it's still really soon but my heart doesn't know anything about that... :D:lol: I feel un-lonely for the first time in a long time.

Much love to everyone!

Michelle

      I am a little confused about the word in your title there.    Defamation is a variation I know about, and it is akin to Libel and Slander in meaning, and could be the object of a court action or a couple of types.   If you are referring to the act of denying or taking away your feminine gender, ie. they keep using masculine names and pronouns or referring to you as  a "man" or "man in a dress", then yes it happens to me on rare occasion and if it is online, I simply block the moron doing it or leave the group where they are doing it, and may or may not come back if the person is there.  When people are willing to learn about Trans Folks I do give what are jokingly referred to as Trans 101 or even more in depth classes to the receptive and accepting audiences.  I DO NOT however try to teach a pig to sing, which as they say sounds like hell and annoys the pig.  If someone is invalidating your gender, get away from them safely and FAST.

      My inner child likes to cuddle with Blahaj.  I know it's weird, but it works for me.
    • Ivy
      I'm not sure they can do this.  Not on line anyway.  LOL   Defamation?  Not that I personally know of.

      Nice! I've found myself shopping around for astrophotography gear more than once but haven't taken the plunge yet. To close to a metro area to do it from my home.

      It never occurred to me to be able to see them here in the south.   Maybe tonight if it's not cloudy.

      @Willow Oh, yeah. been on anti-depressants for years. Actually 2 different ones. Take them each and every morning along with my other meds.

      Well, this last post brings my trans life up to date.  What happens from here is anyone's guess.  The next big milestone will be retirement, probably next year some time.  I don't think that will change things much for Sally because as I have stated previously, I am in a mostly happy place where she is concerned.    I do have a few more posts planned, as I would like to write in more detail about a few occurrences that were memorable to me.  Hopefully they will be of interest to others.    Hugs,   Sally

      Has anyone been a victim of online defemination? and what to do about it?
    • Vidanjali
      Yes, this is very therapeutic. You are able to see different aspects of your own personality. There is the part which has survived life thus far through decision making and lots of trial and error. That part of you is your wise and capable parent. When you feel strongly identified with the scared child in you, you can turn to the wise parent part of you whom you trust to guide you. You have faith and trust in that part of you necessarily because it has gotten you this far. Naturally, we all have room for improvement and advancement, but you can only start where you are and try to do your best with what you have to work with and deal with. But by adopting this attitude, you see that wise parental part of you become stronger, wiser, and more steadfast and skillful. Then the child in you increasingly becomes more trusting and carefree.

      You want to hear coincidence? I just posted that and my neighbor just texted me and said she has been up early because there were Northen Lights outside. Then 2 seconds later I get an extreme weather alert. “We are experiencing Extreme Geomagnetic conditions observed and continued severe geomagnetic storms expected to continue through the weekend”.

      No you aren't!!  There were reports from Texas, Arkansas and the Carolinas of spectacular shows last night.  This is a once-in-a-lifetime event, the best show since 1938, someone said.  Tonight is supposed to be just as good.  (OK, maybe a twice-in-a-lifetime event.  )
