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.
Diana

I posted a new entry at my Blogger Account, Looking Forward, Moving Forward. please enjoy responsibly.
Huge Hugs,

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.
Diana

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.

Just posted my entry into the TG terror contest, i have it rated r for language. Please enjoy this product responsibly.
Arooooo *cough hack wheeze*
Diana

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...

You have all made me feel so welcome as a new author (3+ months) that my head still spins with the comments... 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!
Hugs,
Diana

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

Just posted my first standalone short story... it is dark but it's been rattling around my brain for some time... re reading Evolution sorta lit the fuse... i'd say enjoy, but this one even creeped me out a little
Diana

Fellow beings, Hello. As you may or may not have noticed, i'm a little behind on part 5 of Magnetic Personality. this is more or less because i paid little attention to hard science in school and more attention to science fiction and comic books. well... I've really been trying to understand the fundamental science involved... I've wiki-ed, I've Googled and even asked Jeeves... the basics are making for brain aneurysms in my poor button head, but i want to be fair to those who have, well despised (smiles) my lack of scientific knowledge.

After various tweaks and edits... Lorna's story continues with Magnetic Personality 4.
Hope you enjoy it!
Diana

Hello all, after a marathon writing session, two beta reads and an edit, Magnetic Personality part three is now live. I thought a Friday post would give you a bit of weekend reading and hopefully enjoyment.
Have Fun,
Diana

I had originally posted this in the comment section of the final chapter of Maggie Finson's Shades Of Grey, in Lilith Langtree's Comics Retcon Universe.

After posting there, i realized i had to share this broadly..

Hello again,
I am so proud to announce the posting of my first story "Magnetic Personality" to Big Closet and Lilith Langtree's Comic Retcon Universe... I hope you enjoy part one.
