Butch Femme Planet - What is on your mind

Reading yet another news clip about a kid who felt bullied/unloved/unworthy and deemed the only defense was to lash out in violence. Tomorrow is another school day. If you happen to have a young child or teenager in your life...student, child, niece/nephew, neighbor, what have you....try and take a moment to offer up a small word of encouragement on their unique gifts and talents. The ripple effect may go further than you imagine.

My daddy! There is not a single moment of the day that goes by that I dont wish I could just shoot him a random I love you text, call and tell him he is the best father in the world or just give him a huge hug. I miss him so much and time does not heal all wounds.

my surgery is in 2 days. It is during a full moon.

I am confident in the friends who are handling my store while I am off for 2-3 weeks. However, I still fret.

I am on high doses of vicodine to handle the pain. It makes me itch like crazy. I am so looking forward to leaing that all behind.

I have been sick and this might prevent me from having my surgery. Dammit. I am hoping since I am almost all better, they will go ahead with it anyway.

I LOVE the new show Vikings! OMG! Addicted!

praying. the older I get, the more I realize how much I enjoy the time I spend praying. Can there be a more intimate activity we do with our reach for spirituality?

how much I love chrissy. watching him try to prepare for my surgery, being brave and anxious simultaneously. I love finally being partnered with someone who truly knows how to be in a relationship.

that last damn fudgecycle is calling my name...

how much I love this house..and how glad I am that we did not go further in our plans to sell it and buy another one.

how late it is...

ummm, what?

Tonight I went out to dinner with a woman I met at a New Years Eve party. A masculine woman like me-- we have much in common and I was very much looking forward to connecting with her again--Yay! A new Butch friend! I thought....

About 10 minutes into the conversation, she asks how I met the mutual (femme) friend who introduced us, I explain we met thru a butch-femme website / on line community (BFP)--she quickly follows up with "I'm not into roles....I don't like labels...I'm just me!"

Another 10 minutes of conversation goes by and we realize something else--she is great and long-time friends with my ex-wife's, new wife.... Awk-ward.

Yeah. *sigh*

Too bad, I thought she might turn out to be a good, new friend...

Taxes. I have to do two years of American taxes, one year of Canadian, and get last year's Canadian return looked at because I think I screwed up. Damn cross-border tax issues, pain in my butt.

What prompted this vent, is that today I received an email in regards to a picture I have posted somewhere, it is with a friend and shows us smiling. The email was written as such " I notice you have two different women showing in your pics, my friend wants to know if you are the blonde one or the disfigured one beside her." I was quite taken aback by this as I am the one she is referring to as disfigured, I have looked at the picture and have no idea what she is referring to. My response to her was, perhaps your "friend" could identify what she sees as a disfigurement, which happens to be me as I don't see one.

I am trying to grasp why I can't shake this and I think I have determined that it has brought back a memory from my childhood, when a man in my neighbourhood called me a monkey. Obviously this happened many years ago but has stayed with me, again a person uttering something which has left a scar.

I will no doubt get past this, because I am a strong, confident and yes an attractive individual, but it still hurts that someone who doesn't know me
has lashed out at me.

So, if anyone reading this can take something away from it, please think twice before you write a disparaging remark or utter something in anger or in an offhanded manner, for you never know what those words may do to that person on any given day.

I am really sorry that this happened to you. Sometimes people are just cruel to get a reaction out of others and that kind of psychological abuse is truly hard to understand. I really do not think that there was any reality in that comment just a form of bullying. As a person who has been bullied since childhood, I feel the sting in that sort of action and I just wanted to let you know that when people act out like that, it says something about them, not you.

How sad for them to have nothing positive to contribute. In contrast, this post just made a very positive contribution to the world by reminding us of the power of our words.

You are right, time does not heal all wounds, but love never dies, and we never forget. Just think of how special you made his life by radiating all that love back to him. Sending you a big Daddy hug.

What is on my mind? Right now?
In ten days I am getting my braces taken off. I have had them for the last two and a half years. The short of the story is, I use to have a really ugly overbite. All the painfully years I have gone through with my awful overbite were wiped away with a 5 hour surgery. When the braces come off and I can finally see what I now look like. I don't know what I will do. Will I snob? (As I am kinda doing at the moment.) Or will I be just speechless that I wont be able to say word? Its just such an odd feeling to have. I really do feel like a better me. Yeah I know that is cheesy but its true.

I have a huge writing paper for my final English class, it is on Homosexuals during the Holocaust. The paper has to be ten pages long, so i have chosen to also include those labeled homosexuals in order to justify actions done to them.

So if anyone has any good books that i can get information on, or any documentaries please inbox me!

I greatly appreaciate any help or any help with topics i can add on to this!

Thanks :)

I was asked today if I considered myself bisexual because I'm attracted to male identified Butches, female identified Butches and FTMs. Hmmm, never thought about it.:blink:

Dentists and how much I despise them. (No offense to any dental folks here, it's only the ones who poke and prod on me that bother me lol)

My dentist was almost 2 hours behind today. I thought it was rather rude that the receptionist didn't bother to let anyone know this, nor did anyone apologize to the patients for the delay. There is zero reason that 11 patients should be waiting at one time....in a ONE dentist office.

Also, have I mentioned I'm scared of dentists? I usually avoid them at all cost. I've avoided too long, because now it's biting me in the ass. I knew I would need two teeth pulled, one chipped and one broken after the filling fell out. Well, he also wants to schedule my wisdom teeth to be cut out at the same time.

Yup...6 teeth being cut out/yanked in about a week and a half. Great. Fabulous. I am NOT looking forward to this. I'm trying to talk Wrang into coming back home with me (since I'll be leaving there the day before) and holding my hand during the procedure. I'm such a wuss when it comes to pain lol
