I came out a few weeks ago on Facebook as trans but still didn't bother to make a similar declaration here as well. So yeah, this is it. It's been about 6 months or so since I made this actual decision, and came out slowly to a few friends and family I knew wouldn't react negatively, until finally making it known to the world at large (at least my little section of it) on Facebook two weeks ago. I'm still not out at work, and am still not presenting female all of the time. I've changed my name/pronouns on Facebook, so don't be afraid to use those! This coming Tuesday i'm going to see a doctor and hopefully start hormone treatment. Other than that, and the fact that i'm growing my hair out, I don't really know what the fuck i'm doing in regards to my transition specifically. It's a slow process, but it's an ongoing one. Here's the letter I sent out to people better explaining where i'm coming from if anyone cares to read it. Also, here's a pic from last week. The hair is (obviously) a wig, but i'd absolutely love to have my actual hair at a similar length. So yeah, there's my story.

Something involving video production, ideally editing. I've always been interested and dabbled before but never went into it in too much detail. You know I've been desperate for a career change for years but nothing really appealed enough to kick me into action. Just came to me a few months ago, I've done a bit of reading in what is available in terms of work and study, my plan right now is: - Get badass PC (done). - Start making short films and edits in my spare time (begins today!) - Enrol in a night class (enrolled for August already). - If I take to it and I'm this motivated by the end of the year, I'll apply for the full-time 2 year TV production course which covers everything - direction, editing, production, sound production, etc. Giving me the best base to find a career at the end of it. Scary stuff, I might get to the end of the year and decide it's nothing more than a hobby but that's my aim right now. I'm deeply, deeply unhappy with my career.

C. loves the book, by the way! It was one of her earliest words to request it: "HA-too."

We had less mead in the house when we were brewing mead. That's a lot of mead.

I'm a proud owner of Prickly Hedgehogs and have read it to Milo dozens of times. Fantastic work, Jane!

Hell of a live show. I had such a blast. I was actually super close for my main seats. Almost directly across from the entrance and only about 10 rows behind, just above the floor seats. Tickets were only 20 bucks, but I think that's because the long camera was right in front of us and got in the way of the action occasionally. It didn't detract from the experience at all. Haven't watched on TV, but I think the only bad part of the show was that Nightmare Collective bit. The execution was a bit forced, the crowd was mostly confused, and the crowd chanted, "What just happened?" at the end of it, which I assume was during the commercial break. The most confusing thing about that segment to me was the fact that they seemed to completely forget about Kris and Shida, and they both just...disappeared, with no real circumstances surrounding it. Other than that, the show was a blast. I see the broadcast had audio issues, but the crowd was hot as hell for the opening match and Rey Fenix. I think the best moment for me came before the main event. I had some friends from out of town who had farther back seats with a lot of empty spots, so I went to sit with them for the middle portion of the show. But I wanted to close for Moxley. Well, I started heading back to my seat for the main event, but a bunch of people were gathered around the entrance to my seating area. Turns out that was where Mox was making his entrance, so I got to watch him hype himself up in the hallway, then follow roughly behind him for his entrance. Fucking badass. I'll try to post pics/videos later

at the moment a couple of cat toys
