This journal was created by me not only to give cathartic release, but possibly to be helpful to others in similar situations.

I am a straight(until recently) ciswoman in a relationship with a T-girl, an MtF transwoman... For those of you not down with the lingo, that means the man I love is actually a woman, or the woman I love was born a man, or something like that, and you should know that I am pretty casual about it, so try not to take offense! As one might expect, this is not the lease stressful relationship I have ever been in, and sometimes I feel the need to complain a bit! I try not to be too whiny within reach of people who can hit me, so I have chosen to do my bitching and moaning anonymously online. PLEASE do not assume, however, that this forum will be one massive cyber-bitch-fest. I am more in love than I have ever been in my life, head over my girlfriend's high-heels, as it were. I am often overwhelmed with happiness, but you should know if you are reading this that I am much less likely to write when I am happy, so don't get the wrong idea if the posted complaints outweigh the joys in sheer number!

Of myself, I feel I should add something. A disclaimer at least.

I am unapologetically intelligent. I spent 8 1/2 years with someone I tried very hard not to offend by being too smart... Now I am with an intellectual equal, and loving it. I don't want to make it sound like I am a snob. I understand there are all types of intelligence, but I happen to be blessed with the type that makes me love to learn all I can about science, politics, art, history, philosophy, etc, and regurgitate it lyrically to like (or unlike) minded folks. I also enjoy crude sexual innuendos and videos where guys get hit in the nuts. Go figure.

I can be lacking in the common sense department...

I am learning how to be a girl from my sweetie. I don't like pink, I have never had my nails done, fashion is like a foreign language to me. I am, however, a quick learner. Updates to follow...

Random stuff: I love cats; I read science fiction (among other things), Ender's Game is a favorite; I love nature and hiking/backpacking; If I was rich I would skip the mansion and fancy car in favor of regular traveling; If I could get paid to go to college I would go forever; I fall down a lot, especially if there is some sort of water to fall into; I love to dance, but after doing it my whole life I am still self-conscious about it; I have a serious problem with buying stuff for other people too often; I have a serious problem with not buying stuff for myself enough; I love keeping aquariums, at one point I had 4 in a one-bedroom apartment; I like weird movies; I hate movies with excessive violence; I hate reality TV but I love "So You Think You Can Dance"; I have a weird fascination with the fall of civilization; I am short; I love to paint my toenails because I have cute feet; I have a tendency to waste time, then feel really guilty about wasting time... is updating my LJ profile a waste of time? Damn! Now I feel guilty...
