I'm not much of poet but this is some idle thoughts that came to my mind while waiting in line the last few days. Meter and other terms are a mystery to me and I'm sure that others could do a much better job. However such as it is I thought I would share.

From my first words and my first stumbling steps, I was dressed in blue and told you’re a boy. They do this and they don’t do that.

I wondered why is that?

The 2008 Terry Awards - Final Story List

I created the Terry Awards to celebrate past stories. Older stories are too easily forgotten once they move on to the archives (back pages) and I thought that was a terrible fate.

Log On/Register issues

For the last few days, when I open my browser to Big Closet, the Log-on/Register option is not on the right side near the top. So far I've had to leave the site and log back on several times over an hour or two before the option appears. Am I the only one having this problem or am I missing something?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

My RLT is going great. I'm accepted by almost all of my friends, all of my co-workers, and some of my family. I live with a wonderful woman in a 16 year platonic partnership, I have recently discovered that an angel, an incredible, beautiful, intelligent, understanding woman, is in love with me, and I feel the same about her...and yet.

“I’ve been set up.”

“Cathy, if I might call you that, you haven’t.”

“How do these two know each other?” I pointed at the two children hugging and showing each other their toys.

“They were in hospital together, on the same ward.”

“What makes you think I’d be any use to ‘Patricia’, here?”

“You know what it’s like to be transgendered.”

For those with SKYPE, a VoIP phone, I have always been frustrated by having to switch from speakers to earphones when I wanted to talk on the phone. I had somehow thought that I needed to make a switch box to do this, and so finally after months of forgetfulness, finally bought the parts to do it.

The Softening of Jessie - Part 35

Jason, on the other hand, was going through the roof. He was pressing up against the beautiful girl from behind. He tried to keep his mind from wandering as he showed her what to do. He wasn't very successful as he grew very excited. He quickly tried to show Jessie how to putt to avoid the embarrassment of his growing excitement.

Jason's instruction made sense! He was so cool Jessie thought. Did Jason have a roll of quarters in his pocket or something? Jessie wondered as he felt the hardness in Jason's pants press up against his rear end. He must have those quarters to play in the arcade later Jessie figured.

"Got it?" Jason asked as he quickly backed away hoping his pretty friend didn't realize that she had just given him a major boner.

...You know, I wish that I had Jessie as a girl!...

I want to ask if anybody has had contact with T. D. Aldoennetti since Christmas. I want to know as she lives in the outskirts of the Seattle-Tacoma area and as if you have followed any of the news from that area they were hit real hard with snow before Christmas and and then heavy rain after Christmas causing a lot of weather problems with flooding and other things. She hasn't posted anything on the site since the Dec 20th.

Spin Cycle

Random Glances

by Liobhan

Every natural fact is a symbol of some spiritual fact.
— Ralph Waldo Emerson

Spin Cycle is an experimental novel meant to be experienced by the reader in no particular order, or rather, whatever order strikes their particular fancy.

Every ‘episode’ takes place in essential simultaneity, although their temporal extents may differ, or one's viewpoint may have altered such that what had seemed a prior event can now be seen as subsequent, or vice versa.

The Softening of Jessie - Part 34

She thought about how unfair it was to rob a man of his masculinity. If only Jessie had been a good boy. He was on such a bad path in life. He did seem so happy now. Sure, it involved taking away any shred of maleness, but it was worth it...right?

"I feel great mom. I'm just nervous that Jason will not like me. I just want things to be like they used to between us. "

"I'm not sure if that's possible but I hope you two can be friends again."

"Me too mom."

...Wish I was holding her in my arms late, late at night...

"Come here pretty girl and let me see your pretty pretty panties!"

They wrestled back and forth a little and Jessie was stunned at how strong Ashley was. He had a hard time believing it, but she overpowered him as she wrestled him to the ground.

The two rolled around for a minute and Jessie grew even more embarrassed as his skirt kept flipping up around his back.

"Aha, those panties look mighty sexy Jess!" Ashley teased as she pinned Jessie down on his back holding his arms to the ground.

High School Curriculum

My son, Max (not his real name), will be starting at the high school next year. Therefore, they are starting to send materials home and have assemblies to discuss what things will be like for them next year. Today, they got the Curriculum Guide at an assembly. Max was excitedly showing my wife the extracurricular activities available to him next year: freshman soccer, jr. varsity volleyball and the chess club are the three he has circled as "must-do's". And he had crossed out, as "must not do", the Gay/Straight Alliance and the International Thespian Society.

"I'm so excited Ashley! I want Jason and me to be just like old times again. I don't know why he thought I was a sissy...I don't know why he called me a fairy...all I know is that I'm going to make sure that I'm the same old Jessica that he used to love to hang out with. I'm the same guy and I'm going to prove it!"

"OK."

"Ashley, please, please, please help me with my makeup?"

Same old Jessie huh?

"It's up to you Jess. Do you want to wear a skirt?"

"I think I do...what do you think Jason will be wearing?" Jessie asked finding himself confused about skirts, dresses and pants. Would Jason be wearing a skirt too? Jason is a boy so he can't wear a skirt. Wait...I'm a boy too but I am going to wear a skirt? Jessie's mind clouded.

It's that 'time again. Just past one of the worst parts of the year when I'm alone and I'm, again, waiting for my scores on the exames. Lucky me, the're only 2 but ,aaargh, the waiting is more stressfull then the exames themselfs.

I'm starting to think that the 'waiting'thing is really not for me, bwah.

"He wants to hang with me again? I'm shocked. I mean I thought he didn't like me anymore."

"Uh yeah. He really likes you. You don't want to hang with him though do you? I mean after how poorly he treated you?" Ashley replied playing along knowing that Jason really liked the new Jessie...the girl.

Jessie thought about it for a minute. Sure Jason was mean to him. He was downright evil to him when he was going through tough times awhile back. People change though right? Jason must have changed! Was his friend truly back?!?

...As she's watching me with those eyes, she could be loving me with that body...

The Softening of Jessie - Part 29

One thing that made him uncomfortable however was all the strange looks he would get from boys. Girls didn't even seem to notice him but the boys kept staring him down. They did seem friendly though so he didn't feel threatened.

"Looking good" "Like that suit on you" "Hey girls, looking fine today" where some of the remarks from the boys who passed.

Jessie began to feel very good about himself. He wasn't used to all the attention and he found it nice. His step had a little more bounce in it...his ass gained a little more wiggle when he walked. He found that he enjoyed the attention.
