So, i went out yesterday for lunch with my sister and some friends who were in town for the day. i have been trying to venture out as myself more and more. even when dressed down, i'm starting to get recognized for who i am and it's gladdening. my point is, even though i'm sure i gave some of the people some interesting dinner table conversation, everyone around were unceasingly polite and in most cases, downright friendly. This makes me feel good, however, i do feel sad for others like myself in the world who aren't as lucky as i am.

I had two very good days over the last week that made my heart sing. The first was at a party a week ago Saturday where i was truly myself in a social situation. i also wore a skirt for the first time. everybody treated me as who i am... not who i was. It felt right and was...

I have been having a bad day, can't find the root cause and have spent most of the day retreating into sleep... oddly, the one bright spot today was watching The new Muppet movie... i'm not looking for anything...just observing the fact that the Muppets rock.

Got a piece of fantastic mail today!

That is now my official name... and this is a huge step forward now.

So, Hi everyone, from my newly legal self,
Diana Michelle Howe

I talked with two of the people i was resisting telling about my forward momentum today. My Eldest Sister and My Father.

A short poem i wrote about 6 years ago. i hope you enjoy it.

Well, this year i set it in my head that i was gonna fully transition, it being 2012 and all, i sorta figured if the world did end and i didn't get going, i would be very cranky in heaven.
That being said, i came out to six people at the !bingo hall! where i volunteer, so eep.
I told the charity managers on two of the four charities i volunteer with, one co-worker, one of the Hall managers, a runner i trust and think is wonderful and one patron who is a post op T girl... so either my trust is well placed or... things will get, shall we say, sticky... also, eep.
I hope i wasn't stupid,

To Everyone at BCTS, Happy Holidays, whatever you celebrate
This is my little holiday tree, decorated by me and my sister Mel.

Well the old year is over, now for an just over an hour, i begin my 48th tour around the sun... i want to give my birthday wishes to all here who feel the draw of the feminine. i want to thank all the readers and authors and the really wonderful family i have found here... my wish to you is that the dreams you dream become as real as you want them to be. happy birthday to me yesterday... and a day of remembrance today
Best thoughts,
Diana

Hello All who care to read this, i have read a lot of post recently (including my own) on depression. I, for one am glad people are starting to speak up about this potentially dangerous subject openly, as it can be deadly.

I have an offsite blog Looking Forward, Moving Forward where i write about T* issues and very often about depression and the gender gifted, but it is for everyone, no matter how they identify.

i have been feeling ...i don't know... it's not a colour... grim is a decent enough word. i'm trying i am... i mean if i cannot feel good without popping prescriptions or smoking herbal pharma... shrugs... i do what i have to do, my bills are paid... so i've been sleeping a lot... anyways (headshake) i just wanted to apologize in advance.

And please as you read this, remember that this is just my opinion, that i don't assume to speak for anyone else and yes it was fiction i just read. on to the rant:

I just read a story series that was well plotted, well thought, a good read and... it made me fracking angry. Not at the author, not at the ideas presented, but at the concept of behaviour modification and ego death. The idea of 'We don't like how you think, so we will change the way you think'.

What do you listen to when you write? i'm writing Slacker 3 right now and i have been trying to get into a skater mindset, so Phantom Planet, ween, Fountains of Wayne, Avril... a little, offspring... but i was wondering if anyone else soundtracks their writing?
Rawking out,
Diana

Slacker part two is now live... please enjoy our product responsibly...

I give Kudos to all of you reading, commenting or just enjoying the amazing high quality writing that all of the creators offer here, and kudos to the people who keep this site up and running so that silly girls like me have an outlet to ramble on... Thank you all... More to come soon!

I wrote a blog entry about comics and it seem to be received well enough. my question to you all is... shall i continue or should i stick to TG themes?
Thanx,
Diana
