Test test. Is this mic on? Test test. I am going to try to put some thoughts down here eventually, try to clear my head. For now adieu.

Wednesday I have a 2h jobinterview at the same employer but a different departement. Not my favorite job (accounting) but I can't really chose a job. It's only an internship at the moment but it would nullify the verdict of the retireent commission if I would get the job and there's a chance to get get it after the internship

Also applying for another job that is closer to y intrest although it's also partially accounting (account manager for subsidising sports).

MAY IT BE
Composed & performed by Enya
The Fellowship of the Ring's end credits begin with Enya's composition, "May It Be," wherein the broken Fellowship is offered a blessing and a faint glimpse of hope: "A promise lives within you now." All of us, human being we are a promise for God

MAY IT BE

May it be an evening star
Shines down upon you
May it be when darkness falls
Your heart will be true
You walk a lonely road
Oh! How far you are from home

Darkness has come
Believe and you will find your way
Darkness has fallen
A promise lives within you now

This week sees the end of the first chapter, I hope that so far people like what we are doing, if you have any suggestions or opinions please feel free to let me know, below is the link to the most recent page.

I was looking for stories to read from my archived story collection and pulled out the box with The Proffessor stories after reading others I got to the Deity Arms series of stories. The intro says that this is an open universe and can be franchised anywhere in the world(not just NYC),So it might be fun for a country club in Ravenscrest or something in the Center universe maybe even a story from our friends across the pond or down under.
It would be nice to see a fun little universe come back to life.
I hope 1 of the new authors can come up with a story

... have been found out!

Someone (i.e. SOMEONE - *wink wink*) scattered carpet tacks on the road during an ascent on the Tour de France which caused at least 30 punctures.

No wonder there has been a deafening silence recently.

Enjoy your upcoming week y'all!

I was just curious about how many people are going to the Southern Comfort Conference this year in September and was wondering if we should have a get together there of all the people from this site who are attending it. This has been done in previous years and it is good way to finally meet some of the people who contribute to and read stories on this site.

Hugs,

Wish You Were Here

Like waves to the shore
part of the ocean
the stars high above
part of the sky

Now I drift to you
I dream of a river
a water so blue
wish I could live there

Wish you were here..

Like the air that I breathe
U'll always be there
the wings that I need
when I wanna fly

Now I drift to you
I dream of a river
a water so blue
wish I could live there

wish you were here.. my loved soul mate !!!
Je t'aime

It's july the 11th, Flanders national holiday (not to be mixed up with july 21st, the belgian national holiday). Still 2,5 weeks to go to my b-day.

>sigh< Still waiting on the official letter from the Retirement Commission and people getting back to me about what the amount would be for my pension.

Thinking about taking aleave of absence from the guild I'm adjunct guild leader of (not the best of time with a big game update comming up) due to not having my head straight (the drama in the last week doesn't help either).

one giant splash for MtF kind! =D
(more inside)

Went to the Orthopaedic doctor for a follow up and it seem my arm is still broken or broken again . He drop a bomb on me by telling me we will see each other in the O. R. tommorrow morning bright and early so I am getting more nuts and bolts in my body.I'll let you all know I'm O K on Thursday as I am going to sleep most of the day after I come home
Love You All HUGS RICHIE

I marched! =) With banner (for an LGBT group I'm part of) held high! =D Many others marched too, including representatives of LGBT organizations from many countries. ^_^
The most amusing part occurred about 2/3 of the way along the marching route. An organized group of bible bashers were bitching through their sound systems and holding banners and generally preaching fire and brimstone on us LGBTers. Most of us glanced at them briefly as we passed, but no-one paid them any further heed. Talk about a gloriously futile gesture. :D

Okay I'm trying to get the next part done but I had to change some things around. Been busy and now the power keeps shutting off due to weather, so bear with me while I pull out my hair.

My online name, Ragtime Rachel, is perhaps a bit grandiose considering I play the piano rather poorly, but there is one piece I play rather well, and that's Scott Joplin's "Maple Leaf Rag." It was the song I heard Eubie Blake playing one day when I was twelve--he did it, as I recall, as part of a PBS special--and from then on, I was hooked, hopelessly, on ragtime. I had never heard anything quite like it, and endeavored to learn to play, simply to play that kind of music.

I was sorting throught papers and ran across the note with my user id and thought I would stop by and thank you all for all the kind words and thoughts after Bob's passing. We are getting by day by day but it seems harder this week knowing it has been nearly a year since he left us.

we are still dealing with the bill collectors and lawyers and the bank, but this too will pass.

We finally got up to sorting thru his varied collection of video tapes and dvd's, but there are numeros other things we haven;t had the emotional strenght to get to yet.

Thinking of ... one of my best friends. He was wonderful, caring, and accepting of me. He defended me against the bulling of others when in the Marine Corps.

He killed himself when in the throngs of depressions ... and I have missed him everyday since. I still remember his warm smile and beautiful blue eyes.

I miss him so much!

I was just complimented by a very nice young man on the street today.

That can be a validating, life-affirming moment for any woman my age, let alone a trans one. A reassurance that a man still finds us desirable. It was just the thing I needed, in light of my recent struggles.

I turned and said, "Thank you...." and then my heart sank.

... that is about a family (of course) ... the child plays a guitar (really, really) good, and is accepted as TG'd. She plays spanish music, and the instrument is an old ... and can anyone help me?

Hey folks! Sorry I haven't been up here in a looong time! I'll try to pop in a few fanfics in the coming year. ;)
