We live in a duplex, so we share a common wall with our neighbor. Naturally, sharing a wall means you're going to end up sharing some business--whether you want to or not--with your neighbor. We've had the same person living next door to us since February or March, and I have learned more about her in the last three days than any time before.

I was confused about something, so I did some research. Turns out, the seasons go as follows:

Winter
Spring
Summer
Fall

Apparently, thanks to Al Gore, the season formerly known as "Spring" has been replaced by "Summer 2: The Heatening."

Because of this seasonal disruption, it went from being freezing cold in our little duplex of love to be ( Read more... )

A co-worker of mine told me I should watch a movie online called Zeitgeist The Movie. My co-worker caught on to my extreme leftist politics, which I'm not horribly loud about at work but that I also don't shy away from either. Anyway, she doesn't know that I was once plagued with conspiracy theories that led to horrible insomnia and ( Read more... )

I suppose that each year around my birthday, I feel the need to update one of my twelve online journals and reflect upon the last year of my life. I believe this is my sixth year of having a Livejournal -not this one- but in total. It's interesting to be able to look back at six years of your life chronicled. I'm not sure how I feel about it yet ( Read more... )

"What's in a name? That which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet."
--From Romeo and Juliet (II, ii, 1-2)

Tomorrow, my name will officially change. I'm nervous, although I don't think there's a reason to be. My attorney knows the judge and this isn't the first case like mine that Atlanta has seen. Surprisingly, for those who knew ( Read more... )

I had to repeat my pap-smear since the first test was found to be inconclusive. This is common among women, but more common among FTM's since the testosterone injections make it so that my body produces less cells used for testing for HPV. The AIDS test and all the other STI tests came back negative (yay me).

I went back to the  Feminist Health ( Read more... )

A very good, very trusted friend and I just exchanged a series of e-mails that caused a complete epiphany for me, and I wanted to process. Before making the decision to physically transition, I agonized for years about whether or not I should, if this was the path I should take, etc. I ignored it as long as I could, and then on January 15th (05) I ( Read more... )

Sometimes I forget things. Sometimes I forget important things. Like my one year anniversary of being on testosterone. That happened June 29th. I forget other things, too. I forget that I didn't grow up as a little boy. I don't think this is a big deal at all; in fact, more often than not I feel blessed to have had the experiences I have had. ( Read more... )

ME: well, here's the thing. i go by 'kris' now, and i've been on testosterone for over a year ( Read more... )

I celebrate(d) two birthdays this month. The first was my 24th on the 6th, and the next is my t-day on the 29th. A whole year on testosterone, another year in the life of ( Read more... )
