Halloween
Well, this is it.. the best season of the year! Dressing all slutty (or girly for that matter), going out to parties, getting smashed and generally having a good time. Yet I find myself not as excited this year. I've not gone out to search for a costume, I've not done anything to prepare. I wonder why that is? :/ | | Thursday, September 28th, 2006 | | 12:15 pm |

Small Mammals are fun!
On a different note, Jim came down again last weekend and we had a bunch of fun at the zoo watching things such as the "sleep like you're dead" panda, the "whatcha looking at" groundhog, and the "check out my stools" elephant among a lot of others. Afterwards we went to Bethesda to steal a few copies of Oblivion and had dinner. Was a very fun time again. | | 1:59 pm |
It's really quite interesting what is going on with the drama regarding MAGIC. The moderator is stepping down, and squabbling on the yahoo group continues. It's like, the squabblings of 6 year olds, combined with the stubborness of grown men under the guise of something womanly, combined with a huge political mess with many people pushing their own agendas. Perhaps the reason our community is so fragmented is the fact that complete strangers come together with nothing else in common except that they are lumped into our category. But what is our category? Different people define it as different things. GG's don't gather together only because they're GG.. you have many categories, like the sporty type, the artsy type, the punk type.. all different types that have their own groups. Fragmentation and cliques are expected. Is it really surprising that a group that welcomes all types of people lumped into our "category" would have members with widely different views and thus conflicts? Does a TS really have anything in common with a CD? I guess in the end, you hang out with who you're comfortable with.. I don't know. Either way it'll be interesting to see what happens on/after Friday with MAGIC. | | Tuesday, August 1st, 2006 | | 2:28 pm |
Go Go Hang out #1
So er.. yeah.. Jim and I seemed to click rather well.. we seem to have the same type of geeky tastes I think. We have the same alarm clock, same 6' folding table we use to put our computers on, same paper shredder, both carry messenger bags, agree that mac > linux > windows.. just to name a few. Of course, I have yet to see said shredder and alarm clock.. but eh. It took him 8 hours instead of the usual 4 to get down due to some traffic problems in Deleware so we didn't have time to go to the zoo. Instead we played some guitar hero (video game with a guitar as a controller), strolled around Tysons mall, and played some pool. He's cuter in real life than his pictures.. ^_~ So, er, yeah. I had fun. Seemed like he did as well. Can't wait till we hang out again be it here or near NYC.. ^______________________^ | | Wednesday, July 26th, 2006 | | 2:53 pm |
Geek chat!
We chatted on the phone for almost 2 hours last night. A very cool geek guy is in the area this weekend from around NYC. Dana is excited.. Hmm.. let's try that in a haiku: A cool New York guy, We chatted for two hours. This weekend he comes. | | Tuesday, July 18th, 2006 | | 10:01 pm |

Up and running.. finally
I spent all last night feverishly installing all the components: motherboard, optical drives, video card, super ultra CPU heatsink (ok, it's just a Artic Freezer 64 Pro but it still looks impressive), uGuru panel.. All fun stuff.. except SuSE had not finished downloading and I was planning on stripping and reusing the ram and hard drives from the old system! Waited till 2am for the download to finish and then ripped the old system to shreds. Ended up staying up till 3am and finally got Windows Vista working in the morning. There it is, my PRECIOUS.. all set up and alone in my room. And here I am at work writing about it and not using it >_< Tonight, after a planned bike ride and fiddling with Vista a bit, I continue with the installs.. SuSE 10.1 is up next. | | Monday, June 19th, 2006 | | 4:30 pm |
Computer parts are here! Computer parts are here! GLEEEeee~~~~!!!! First I'll install Windows Vista beta 2.. Then I'll install Suse 10.1.. Then I'll install... Then I'll.. And then.. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm *Eyes glaze over as drool drips on the floor* Now I gotta go to Chantilly to pick them up >_< ----------------------------- Error: Unexpected end of file | | Wednesday, May 17th, 2006 | | 8:56 pm |

Learning Experiences
Wow, from IRC I find out about Yahoo chats.. from Yahoo chats I find out about URNA. From URNA to hanging out with a guy for my first time! The background: Yahoo chat, it seems, is a bot infested area with very little intelligent conversation I feel. There are a few people I suppose but it wasn't what I was hoping for. I did meet some guy there who directed me towards http://urnotalone.com. After checking it out, I can't say I support how they operate, somewhat reminds me of a fetish porn site.. well, except the users provide the content. All the information, pictures, and journals are locked down and viewable by paying members only although making a profile and adding content is free. Well whatever. They DO have an awesome chat room. Over 100 people there and plenty of discussion. I met a decent amount of local people there in the last few days. The Juicy: On Friday I actually went out for a late night snack/dinner with one. I had never really met an "admirer" (chaser.. insert whatever name here) before and I thought it might be interesting. I stopped by his place and we had a cup of tea before heading over to Abby's for some food. Abby's was a very interesting place. I had never really been to a restaurant that catered to alternative lifestyles. We were there after bars and clubs closed, and it was quite interesting with all the drunk gays, and trans/cd/whatnot people there. Might have to go again sometime! I noticed throughout dinner my "date's" eyes kept wandering around the restaurant and such. I don't know.. perhaps he wasn't really interested. We didn't have much to talk about.. not a lot in common. Oh well. After dinner was when I was completely retarded. We got back to his place and he invited me up to his room. Sure thing I said and happily followed him up. We went up and he said he needed to rinse his mouth and I idly checked out his apartment.. and electronic parts that were laying around the table. Then he came out and took me into a deep embrace. We started kissing and such and before I knew it, we were in his room.. on his bed.. and he was naked.. and.. then I realized that I was not ready for something like this. I did not want my first time to be with a guy who only wanted me for sex. So I made some stupid excuse and fled! Yeah, ok I was stupid haha. I was dressed in my usual andro mode, and didn't expect anyone to want anything from me. A learning experience for sure. Other notes: Tomorrow (today) I am headed over to this other person's place.. some CD that lives near me. Interestingly enough he reffed for the league my soccer team was in 2 years ago. Video games and movies are the order of the night. Hopefully I'll be smarter this time.. but even if I'm not, no way to learn just sitting around right? I recently learned of a place called Zigfields in DC. Sounds like an interesting place and I definately want to check it out sometime. A club type atmosphere.. I have nothing to wear! And on top of that I'm not sure if I'm ready to go out in that stuff. It's not just the femme persona that needs work, but I'm starting to realize that I'm rather.. out of shape and in dire need of exercise to lose a bunch of my tummy. | | Tuesday, January 10th, 2006 | | 8:40 pm |
Phone Sex
My roommate got a new phone today. It's amazing how quickly phone technology advances and how quickly phones become obsolete. Could it be a left over competitive feeling from my male self.. now I feel a need for a better phone. Ah well. I had been chatting with this guy the last few days. He Found me in my short stint on yahoo chat.. oh wait.. let me rewind. IRC and has become a big part of my weeknights. After wandering the networks for a little while I recently realized just how small the T community on IRC had become though. Enter Yahoo chat.. Wow.. rooms and rooms filled with people. Although I quickly learned that they were mostly bots and incomprehensible horny net guys that couldn't say much more than ASL and sex please, there seemed to be a few cool people there. He found me while I was in one of these rooms. We chated some and he seemed ok. It was kind of cool that he lived only minutes away from where I was and was actually around the same age as me. Today I found out that he's a T person just like me! and he has a T roomate and another roomate that may go down that path but was still on the fence. Wow! He (kept referring to himself as a guy for some reason or maybe I'm just imagining) wanted to help out with my makup and stuff. He seemed as excited as I was to find another T in the area. We exchanged phone numbers (a first for me with anyone online) and we chatted a little on the phone before he had to go to sleep. (NO, no phone sex as the title may indicate) I don't know if I'll find my significant other anytime soon, but today's discovery seemed to open up a lot of opportunity for personal growth and friend making. It friggen rocks. Of course caution the first time I meet them.. but I can't wait to do so. | | Monday, January 9th, 2006 | | 10:57 pm |
Ah the situations girls find themselves in.. Went out with my co-worker for lunch today. Her former TA had been asking her to lunch and she didn't want to go alone. Needless to say, I felt a little ackward being the 3rd wheel there. He was dressed to the nines and obvious what he wanted. Ah well. In the end he paid for lunch, mine as well. Although in this case he wasn't really paying for me as much as trying to impress my co-worker, it got me thinking: How would it feel of a guy bought me dinner some time. Mmm it'd be so very nice and sweet. But it could also be a pain if you don't like the guy THAT way but he keeps insisting.. Oh but I'd so give anything to explore that aspect of life. Lump it onto my to do list. Now to find a willing someone.. haha! | | Saturday, January 7th, 2006 | | 12:56 pm |
Watched TransAmerica last night. Very fortunate that they had a theater here playing that movie. I hear there's only a few places in the whole nation playing it. So Joe and a I braved the metro system and headed over to the E street Cinema. On the whole the movie was ok. Some things hit especially close to home like right at the start where there was a clip from that voice video which I have sitting here collecting dust.. what was it called? Felicity Huffman played a convincing T person in it and the storyline was enjoyable, but none of the characters seemed especially likable. I don't know. Notes to self: Don't end up as ackward socially as Bree. The Trans person party was fun. Must hang out with Andrea and Kalli and all of them soon | | Saturday, December 31st, 2005 | | 1:45 pm |
New year..
Wow, a whole year under the influence of hormones! Looking back it seems like 2005 was a pretty uneventful year for me.. Work and World of Warcraft dominated most of this year: one which I anticipated being a quiet, stay out of public view year. IRC crept in as well. As the new year approaches I wonder which directions I will go. Is it time to start going all the way.. blending in with all the ggs out there? Can it even be done? New Year's resolution.. become a girl? I've started feeling the twinge of loneliness creeping on me and I'm torn. With SRS not being an option for awhile, I've started chatting in those Trans sex channels. Sure there are a lot of admirers out there, but is that what I want? Part of me wants to try and see.. another part of me is afraid.. still another part wonders that even if I get the surgery I'm ultimately still trans.. will anyone want me? My mind is starting to become a jumbled mess again. Perhaps it's time to consider visiting Dr. C again. | | Thursday, July 29th, 2004 | | 11:33 pm |
