As everyone knows, I published a new book yesterday. Now this is going to sound a little like grandstanding perhaps, but that's not what I'm trying to do.

Okay! ^^ wooO! Tels balance is now covered! :)

Thank you for helping one of our own! ^^

Just spotted this:

Uruguay's Congress passed a bill on Wednesday to allow same-sex marriages, making it the second country in predominantly Roman Catholic Latin America to do so.

Using a slide rule and caliper, Professor Jean-Denis Rouillon spent fifteen years carefully measuring changes in the orientation of breasts belonging to 130 women, at the Centre Hospitalier Universitaire (University Hospital) in Besançon.

Went to the specialist today. He is going to implant the defibulator at the beginning of May. Good news is it needs only one wire. It will be a one day surgery at least. My infarction rate is about 20% and is not up to where they would be happy.

So, I figured it was probably time for me to put up a more recent pic of myself. It's been a LONG time since most of my befores... But first, here's one more before:

Had a nice meeting with my pastor yesterday. After talking for about an hour, she said she wanted me to hang onto 3 things:

First, surviving what I went through as a child shows that I'm strong,

I've been asked by a couple of people about writing stories in my universes. I appreciate people asking. I guess I did get rather snippy a few years ago over some of the blasphemy being done to Bikini Beach. I've got one very strong and promising author who has taken some of my story ideas and is turning them to gold. They are story ideas which were so far down in my writing queue that I'd never get to them in the foreseeable future.

The Transsexual and the cross: Disproving the myth that transsexuality is a sin will be published on Thursday (midnight). It will be a dead tree and available on Kindle. I know there has been some that wanted to share this with church groups and link to this site. The work here is incomplete and I prefer not leading people here. I will make the book available in a month or so and I enabled sharing so one copy can be spread around. The cost will be 2.99 and I hope you will consider supporting me as I head into uncharted territory. I think this may be the most important work I've ever done.

My new story, "Destiny Bender" is in the works and I should have part one finished soon. This will be a much smaller series than Angel and will revolve around a teenage boy who's struggles in a measly life wishing his life would have turned out different. One day he is given the chance to change a mistake that forever altered his life. While this sounds much like a typical wish kind of story, it is not. Unlike Angel the TG elements will be more front end center rather than subtle.

Sometimes, I wish I was a better writer. I have good ideas, but not as good at getting them out. For example, I made a series of stories about an organization called "Vision Spring", that appears to the outside world to be a charity that helps Gay, lesbian and trans people, but is in fact a group of people who have magical control over one of the traditional elements - Earth, Water, Fire, Nature, Light, Darkness, and the Air.

Ma said during our last skype call a few days ago that it's forty-five degrees back home. Living in Manila for a while now, I am now more used to using Centigrade when measuring temperature, as opposed to Fahrenheit, and using kilometers instead of miles when measuring distance. So when she said forty-five degrees, I used my iPad and came up with 7.2 Centigrade. I told her it was 95 degrees here (which is 35 in centigrade-speak). It's so friggin' hot here! What I wouldn't give for a forty-five degree day.

It seems like the more comfortable with myself as a girl I become, the harder it is to have male bits. Last night my parts moved a bit, and I had to fight back tears, and I also had to fight off the urge to take my box-cutter knife to them ....

Ah, well.

Logged into Facebook and read that I was dead. My brother had a very close friend, whom his kids called uncle, pass away. My brother's 95 year old mother-in-law posted her condolences for me. Glad I caught that before my daughter did. I'm not dead, at least I think I'm not. Interesting way to start your day.

Well, last night, my supervisor came by and told me she wanted me to motivate my fellow workers in finishing as fast as possible. I giggled, but she said she was serious, she wanted me to do this. I asked her, "Why me?"

She said, "Because I like you."

Well, what the heck could I say to that?

Hey folks. Remember when you were all like, hey Krunch, what gives? When are you gonna finish Being Christina Chase?

one of the primary characters in tonight's episode at 10 est. is supposed to be transgender

In most Shamanic traditions, a religious belief system that pre-dates all the mainstream religions, and appears to be almost universal amongst the peoples from whom most modern cultures drew their inspiration, so might be seen as the authentic root from which all later variations of religious belief sprouted, gender expression is seen as a special power bestowed by the higher powers, and some degree of transsexuality and/or transvestism was and is essential to the role of spiritual advisor to the community, because of course the spiritually-limited, those who weren't able to incorporate the

Well, last night, Jaci was talking to me, and she was trying out her "manly man" voice (and totally failing to sound at all like a guy, she sounds like a girl with a cold), when I started to .... chuckle. A little.

She jumps on it, and says I giggle like a school girl, which is totally NOT true, I laugh like a guy, I know I do ....

Isnt it great to have a friend who will tease you until you cant help but laugh?

Now anyone who knows me, knows that I am not TG. I just feel I understand what those who are go through. I know my work isn't the most popular, but it's been read often and most of the comments have been positive. I'm obviously on the right track at least.

Penny of course is more than a little uncomfortable with this, but accepts that she may not like the subjects I have chosen to write about but is comfortable that I'm not going to start wearing her clothes or spending the weekends 'en-femme', demanding to be called Susan or something similar.

What did I do right compared to the first pass attempt? Info please.

Several years ago I purchased a couple of ebook versions of Tiffany Shar's Standing Up to Life, and Daring to Hope from Lulu.com. When I went to download them onto my new tablet, I found that there was no link for the download. I clicked on the problem with this order link and sent off my problem. I got an automated reply that didn't solve the problem, so I clicked on the "This didn't solve my problem" link and in less than an hour I got a reply.

I have not blogged in a while. My life has been complicated and I have been giving it a chance to settle down.

Well, you guys can thank Jaci (AKA Tels) that I'm still here. I woke this morning feeling completely numb. Nothing mattered, nothing had any meaning of any kind. As I went through my morning routine like a zombie, I came to the conclusion I had to quit being Dorothy, since I had lost my family and my daughter didnt want to be seen in public with me. I dont know how long this would have lasted before I would have done something drastic, but fortunately, Jaci was online, and agreed to phone me.

a couple going through a transition

Should I transfer Gildi and T1 to this site? In other news I am rebuilding My name is UGLY into a different direction. Thank you for you patience and suggestions.

I feel like a tissue, I was used to further someone else's enjoyment and thrown laway because I was worthless.

Hello all...

Trying to post chapter 10 and I get validation error when I try to preview and have no clue as to why. Search pulls up nothing.

Help!

That's a wrap folks. Part two is going through a second edit and should post tomorrow sometime. This concludes all writing on Angel Season One, and now it's time for a little break. This is a stellar personal achievement of mine, one I am very proud of considering my past dislike for writing. In the seven months I have been writing, I have finished with a word count just over 199k. Feels great to see something through, from start to finish.

For the first time in my life I am part of a couple for Easter, took a while, but I'm not complaining. This has been a good month, good year so far, so I don't want to sound whiny and lose it all. Hehehe.

I got an Easter Basket and a stuffed animal. I made an Easter Basket too, I packed it very much full.

I tried this blog before, it was funnier. But I wanted to share the card I gave my bf

Hey, everybody! My church liked my poem so much, they published a link to it. Its on the Affirm! McDougall page on facebook. It would be awesome if some of my friends would go and like their page ...

here is a link:

Hi!

Was that a right or a left on Oak Street, honey?

This wasn't me BTW

Hi Everyone,

Just got back from business trip to.... well, almost everywhere.
Twenty of us in the group and we must have walked through fifty or sixty miles of factories.

Just got back from watching the movie "The Host". Its an awesome movie, I can really recommend it. Most days, I dont feel like I'm like Melanie the human female, nor like Jared, her love, but like Wanderer, a stranger in a strange land, wondering if there is any place she can really belong ....

I've just popped a book onto Kindle that I have been working on for ages... I'm clearing the backlog slowly.

I am sad. Not desperately so. But sad none the less.

There is an interesting Article in my local paper, the Broward County Sun_Sentinel regarding a web-based Transgender oriented radio show. Here is the Article title and a link to the article.

I'm supposed to be working on a paper for school about the evolution of RISC, pipelining, cache and virtual memory for my Computer Architecture course. Instead, I'm semi-crossposting the following from my main blog because I realize it's been a while since I wrote here, and the paper is boring; I'm a software girl, hardware gets in the way :P. Here's the post, and I'll go back to pretending to write this paper now. :)

well, not a good night last night. Any night that ends with me being carted off on a stretcher has to be considered a pretty bad one, and that was the case last night. I popped my shoulder out, and they ended up taking me to the hospital to get it looked at. I got off lucky, no serious damage, but I'm off work tonight, and on modified duties for a while thereafter.

On the other hand, one of my supervisors, upon hearing a bit of my life story, described me as being tremendously together, considering my past. So there is that, I suppose .....
