This spring or summer I want to go camping in the Oregon Outback and have found a place that is at least 40 miles from any urban lighting, on a plateau of some 5000 feet, in isolated solitude. In my youth, I loved amateur astronomy, and once had a small reflector, so plan to resume that hobby once again.

In the mean time, I must find ways to prevent any lights from coming on in my car, or cover them in red cellophane. Any camp lights I have must be red also.

Since I plan to be alone, safety will be a concern, so I will be frequenting used clothing stores to find men's pants and shirts. I'll have a crew cut and work on lowering my voice once again. I won't say what other preparations I shall undertake in the interest of not offending some of you. I can grow a surprising white beard in about 5 days. Along with the crew cut, I plan to find a hat that says something about surviving Cancer. This is a backup plan in case someone sees through my representation of a man. This sounds exciting. :)

I've found a small, wide field telescope to take and plan to sit out in the dark, listening to "Spem in Alium" at the loudest setting my stereo will withstand, as I watch the heavens progress across the sky.

This two weeks impersonating a man, I hope will once and for all settle that question. Now being XXY lays the foundation for a variety of personas. XXY folk are really fascinating because we run the gamut from being extremely feminine to being oh so adorably masculine. One I saw online is the penultimate "pretty boy".

It is increasingly clear that the gender binary is pure bull shit. I wonder how long it will take society to digest that?
