Ya know, I feel like I've lost my sense of humor, at least in my formal writing. I've become as dour as Gordon Brown, even when I'm not writing about heavy things. This...must...end! I was re-reading some of my first posts, and I still laugh out loud at some of them, in a good way. Where did this delightful girl wander off to, and who is this dull fishwife who replaced her? I'll try to let my hair down some, without taking it off.
Had a support meeting Saturday night. A sedate blast, as usual. I hung with Sylvia, and exchanged books with her. I lent her The Lazy Crossdresser by Charles Anders, a light book of tips for presenting as a better and more confident female. Sylvia handed me a big, beautiful book of makeup tips, and Alice in Genderland by Richard Novic.
Our group discussed the need to begin asking for dues, in order to organize events and meet the growing needs of our very diverse group. We will have to be granted non-profit status, a situation not aided by our current lack of an attorney in the group. We'll just have to muddle through.
I thought that we could just raise money with a kissing booth at the fair. But I think that the marketing of a TG kissing booth might prove difficult. Apparently, the general public wants more assurance than a pretty face when locking lips with a transgendered person. Who knew? I'll just keep coming up with great ideas so the sceptics will have something to shoot down.
Oh, the "contract" came up this week. (Note: see October 2008) It seems that my wife's counselor is very concerned that a divorce is imminent, and inquired about the contract. The missus asked me to remind her how long a term we had signed up for.
Me (brightly): It expired on April 10th.
She: Oooh........Do I need to be concerned about anything?
Well, y'all know that if I were doing anything fun like meeting up with strangers for sex, I'd be unable to resist writing about it here. Gawd knows, I could use some fresh material! While there are a host of stresses on our daily lives, I feel like the marriage is pretty solid right now. But, who knows what the wife might be saying to her counselor. I am certain that I will not be re-upping our little contract in its current form. There will be some real give and take this time. One thing I would insist on is shopping priviledges with my sister-in-law. I need to be free to acquire new pieces for my wardrobe with a willing and talented aide.
Well, that proved to be hilarious, hmmm?

Leslie Ann..
ReplyDeleteI'm confused about this "contract" thing. Is it formal? Do you get takeh to court for breaking it?
A TG Kissing Booth? Nice idea....
No-one could be as dour as Gordon Brown, pet.... He's a Scotsman and a Presbyterian to boot. No-one, but NO-ONE, does "dour" like a Presbyterian Scotsman.
Whenever I seriously need to get my zsense of humour back, I watch Life of Brian.... Works every time
Always look on the bright side of life....

Hey Girl...you never lost your muse. I see it in everything you write.
ReplyDeleteNow about that TG kissing booth....Got any other ideas?
Calie xxx
Hey Girl! I think you are a witty as ever although you have been a little more quiet lately. But then, so have I. :) Keep those good ideas coming sister! The kissing booth is quite a stretch but one never knows. :p
ReplyDeleteNow then...let me understand...the (counselor) is worried about an impending divorce and a valid contract may be useful in it's prevention?? My bet is, her office magazines consist of Forbes, Wall Street Journal, and Business Weekly.
Glad you had fun at the meeting. Keep smiling and writing. :)
Leslie,
ReplyDeleteI didn't want to leave your comment over at Calie's blog unremarked upon, but there was just no way for me to do it there and continue the thread of that conversation.
So it really never occurred to you what a one-sided beast this whole "being t" thing is?
Hey Leslie,
ReplyDeleteDon't sweat it too much, you'll get back into the swing of things. Your early posts sure are pretty funny, I can attest to that.
Ciao
Jessica
