Children of the Sky



One of my favourite tunes from "The Hunting of the Snark". Somehow it used to bring tears to my eyes, at a time when crying was almost impossible for me. Bittersweet, and I can't really explain it. Now I have a future to look forward to, full of bright shiny novelty, scary and wonderful too, a journey of discovery. And who knows, maybe even a Snark.

  1. Even better, you can now go see chick flicks and nobody says a thing about it. :)

  2. Alan, that's more true than you know. No-one says anything about it, not even a little voice inside. The one telling me not to or everyone will know that I'm not really what I appear to be, what I've striven to be. The one that kept me safe.

    You'd think after nearly 2 years that the feeling of wonderment, the gender euphoria, would have worn off. Nope, I will never take for granted what all other women (well, 99.97%) do.

    Now as soon as my health is taken care of, I vow and declare that I'm going to get a complete makeover, massage, manicure, pedicure, hairdo, the works. Strictly as part of my Therapeutic regimen, of course.

    (Actually... it is, no fooling)

  3. Zoe, I tried posting a comment in this thread, and my browser crashed. Go get yourself a blog at WordPress.com. It's shitload more reliable than the crap you get at Blogger. And you really do deserve a better blogging platform.

Anonymous commenters - please add a signature (doesn't have to be your real name) on each post of yours. Anne O'Namus, Norm D. Ploom, Angry from Kent, Demosthenes, or even your real initials, it doesn't matter.

Commenters are expected to be polite to each other, but the same standard doesn't apply to comments regarding me.

Australian commenters are very very strongly advised to publish anonymously. Sydney alone has more defamation actions than the entire USA and UK. Nearly double that of the UK in fact.

As Google does not reliably inform me that a comment has been posted, and I have no control over first publication, I assert that all comments are innocently disseminated under the NSW DEFAMATION ACT 2005 - SECT 32 and similar acts.
