While watching Daria, I ran across this little bit of wisdom from the monotoned realist with a penchant for being honest. Her graduation speech:
Um... thank you. I'm not much for public speaking, or much for speaking, or, come to think of it, much for the public. And I'm not very good at lying. So let me just say that, in my experience, high school sucks. If I had to do it all over again, I'd have started advanced placement classes in preschool so I could go from eighth grade straight to college. However, given the unalterable fact that high school sucks, I'd like to add that if you're lucky enough to have a good friend and a family that cares, it doesn't have to suck quite as much. Otherwise, my advice is: stand firm for what you believe in, until and unless logic and experience prove you wrong; remember, when the emperor looks naked, the emperor is naked; the truth and a lie are not "sort of the same thing"; and there is no aspect, no facet, no moment of life that can't be improved with pizza. Thank you.
Just something I'd throw out there for all those high schoolers going to college.
hey just popping in briefly to wish Samurai Soldier a happy 2100 posts..
And I'm just goin' through a really hard time here.. I had fun today and stuff, in certain points, but I called Ryan to talk about it, and he's not answering his phone, and not online at all.. so I'm feeling a little lonely... I've been feeling that way recently...
I feel like its hard to explain and not sure if y'all would get it, but I justfeel really lonely and stuff.... plus today i just endured a friend of mine talking to me about her brand new romance and how independent they are and just... it just kind of ate away at me.. sitting there, listening to her talk... while I endured the thought that Ryan isn't here on campus as he usually is... when i feel like "aww someone's got a romance going on... go find Ryan and snuggle with him" ... and i can't do that... and i got online to talk to him about my first day of classes.... and he's not on...
I just.... blah.
EDIT: I'm really not trying to seem like I'm crying for attention or tryin' to make him feel bad or anything like that.. just kind of.........................venting ... feeling really depressed overall...
And for the hell of it, here's a very recent photo of us.. On the last day in Boston, September 1st... Hope you guys enjoy
In good news, now that I'm done with Daria, I've begun watching Read Or Die (the OVA; I'll get the series later) and now whenever I see Yomiko, I keep seeing you, Danica. Must be some odd coincidence.
KK-Sorry to hear about your grandfather. Also, glad to hear he's alright.
Shaving-I don't understand why people are making such a huge deal out of it. You either do it or you don't. If you have to do it to feel feminine then it's just a personal preference. Shaving doesn't actually make someone a female or a feminine person.
Josh and Joshua...Congrats on 4 years living together. How many have you been together as a couple?
Shoes-I have a rough time finding cute ones too, but they're JUST shoes. It'll be alright.
Danica-I hope things start looking up for you soon. That lonely feeling when others are basking in their romance is not one that's easy to handle. Hang in there. Usually if I get that feeling, I try to remember special moments and sentimental memories or gifts. It doesn't help much but it does help a little. *hugs*
Edit: Cute picture too!

Sorry to hear about that Danica. I wish you and ryan very well though. Yeah i know what its like not to talk to someone that you love. Also goodluck in classes and thats a pretty nice portrait of you and ryan.
Anyways im glad i am back posting like i am normally am. Ill still post some tommorrow as well when i get back from work. Ill talk to you all soon. *hugs and blows kisses to everyone*
Don't mistake me: I'm not really interested in having hairy legs, and I'm not really a huge fan of body hair (at least for myself). I'm fine doing it, and if it's what I have to do to get by, I'll do it.
But it's not hard to see that males and females are held to very different standards of beauty, not just in what is attractive about a male or female body but what is acceptable hygiene. Body hair that is fine on a man is seen as revolting and repulsive on a woman. The fact that many people adapt just fine to this does not mean the double standard isn't annoying at best.
Quote from Sakura »
For myself though, I have darker hair and rather hairy legs. I would really like to be able to wear a dress wor skirt without looking like a gorilla. For a Tgirl I believe shaving/waxing your legs is far more important than if you are a natural girl, simply because we can't afford to have such an obvious tell. There are so many masculine traits we have we cannot fix easily, our leg hair is one which is moderately easy. We should take all the small victories we can get.
I agree, being a transgirl means having more severe demands on you when it comes to things like appearance, because there is probably more "prettying up" to do, and to avoid the dreadful dude-in-a-dress problem. When your gender identity is so controversial anyway, you have to do a lot more to prove yourself to people. And this is something you just have to adapt to.
I don't like the term "natural girl," though that is the way most people will probably look at it. If you're "trying" to be a girl, then it's easier to be accepted if you can meet the standards.
Shaving practices do seem to be sort of like a special ritual for people - i.e. shaving the face is a male ritual (like when a young man first has to shave, there's an air of growing-up to it), and likewise is shaving the legs for females. Taking part in "female rituals" can be a part of experiencing life that way, and of affirming your identity.
Quote from SnoopDoggAtog »
But 100+ years of Western pop culture imagery and advertising showing only smooth legs on women has conditioned guys to prefer it as the hygienic norm for females. They would be shocked to travel back in time to the days of their great-grandmothers, and see that even sultry belles and winsome frontier dairy maids had hairy legs underneath all those petticoats and bustles.
Yeah. I can see where it comes from. I guess it's not much of an issue unless you plan on wearing a skirt/stockings. Underarms are probably a bigger deal.
There's nothing wrong with doing it, it's the negative reactions from others towards the body hair that is a problem.
Quote from Lilly »
I guess one of the reasons I shave is that, as much as I hate being bound to social customs, and as much as I try to stray form them and even considering how against stuff like that i am, shaving my body is one of the things in my life that makes me 'feel' more feminine, I guess. I do like my legs smooth regardless, but it just seems to me that the very act of shaving makes me feel less like a boy, i guess. thats my reason behind it anyway. I don't think that girls should be expected to shave, I don't think anyone should. I just feel that since everything else has worked against me so far, I'm going to use the system to make myself feel better about myself for once, instead of worse.
Quote from Sakura »
So in order for me to be what I feel inside, I need to fight as hard as I can to present myself to others as I feel inside. To feel good about myself I need to be able to look in the mirror and feel happy with what I see.
So I shave my legs.
But I feel the same way about these things. There are things I do to make myself "feel" female, like acclimations. There are a number of "female rituals" that I feel very positive about doing.
I don't know if it's me specifically or it's just comes with the topic, but it feels like there's an impression that I have a problem with people who shave their legs. My problem is with, pretty much as always, how rigid and punitive gender norms are.
Ever hear girls or women complain about having to shave their legs or underarms? Well, this is basically the same sort of sentiment.
Quote from Dreia »
Shoes-I have a rough time finding cute ones too, but they're JUST shoes. It'll be alright.
Hee hee. Yeah, I don't really have a lot of investment in shoes either.
But it can be really hard to find nice clothing that both fits you and has the kind of look you want. This weekend I went clothes shopping, and it was a frustratingly depressing experience. I still don't feel quite right after it. It's like there is in invisible barrier keeping (apparent) males from comfortably looking at women's clothing. But besides that, all of the clothes that I'd actually have liked to wear wouldn't have fit me.
It's not like I didn't already know that, but as I'm trying to embrace my transness, as it were, in how I act and present myself, it's just all the more more painful to have this roadblock. It's something that opens a lot of old wounds, especially when you're trying really hard to be positive and make the best of things.
EDIT: *catching up* I read how you feel lonely, Danica. It's tough to feel like you're by yourself, and you have my sympathy about that. I hope things improve soon, but in the meantime, may you have an easier time facing it.
All that I yearn for, for richer or poorer, is to be the light that you see. All that I yearn for, for richer or poorer, is to be the peace that you feel. All that I yearn for, for richer or poorer, is to fill your heart on my own.
But the rainbow is an image of hope for many reasons, as it is a brilliant sight coming out of oftimes dismal weather.
Good morning everyone. Just wanted to drop in and say hello i have an 8 hour work shift today. Glad its going to last until only 3:30pm which is better then having a shift from 1pm to like 9:30pm. I will probably be back later this late afternoon or tonight though. Talk to you all soon. Have a good day everyone.

oh yeah one more thing before i go I think trygon predator is some serious tech against threshold's counterbalance and sensei's top combo. Morphling also still owns in any blue deck I think I should revive my ancient UW control for the legacy format once again.
I'm off to my 2 Biology classes (lecture, lab), then I'm gonna be printing up all of my geology lecture notes at once (so I'll never not know what notes we need).
I recently got a hold of a 'leaked' copy of the Dethalbum, the official album of Dethklok, from Metalocalypse. Despite the show being hit-or-miss (it's good though; Brendon Small is a genius, especially musically), the album is top notch. The music sounds great, even if it IS death metal. The problem with the 'leaked' copy? It was officially leaked. It has an audio 'watermark' on all the songs (a robotic voice cuts in every few minutes and says 'Dethklok Promo 2007'). That's not a bad thing though. They did a smart thing with the leak; it makes me wanna get the full album on the 25th.
Also, I had no idea Dethklok had a bonus track on Guitar Hero II. Awesome. ,\m/
Hummm so which of you guys are the Lucky Star Fans??? i cant remember if its Mr.Stuff,Samurai_Soldier, or Fooly... anyways i just checked Kotaku and i think i might actually start watching lucky star this version thhat is...:laugh2:

That would be all three of us, actually, although myself somewhat less than the other two. The only other person I know in here that's even seen it is Dreia, and only because it was on the spring guide. Sir, you officially are awful (although, at the video, I am somehow more or less not surprised). I think I died inside a little upon seeing the cover.
Sephiroth, I hope your day gets better. It's not fun at all, and can be rather frustrating, to have to work with someone you don't like and that doesn't like you.

Lol...you want me to show you more? i mean kotaku is just showing so many funny stuff like [link removed to avoid more warnings] (im actually amazed this actually got a sequel)
Sephiroth... i also want to say sorry about your bad day... dont worry things will start to pick up soon im sure.
You're calling Omna and Arguas bots? I think the blasphemy lies here!
Way to burn me for my typo
And I used to think you were so cute too.
Another day another something or other.
So I got an email today from my ex.
She had to take care of the Hydro from our old place before she could get it hooked up in her new place. I got this email.
Scott, I did discover that you lied to me about the state of the hydro, as I had to recently get it hooked up. It is now paid in full, however, my total was 750.00. So, you owe me the 150.00 that I had paid you originally. I expect it this paycheck.
Huh?
A) I had completely paid it off, it was $1,100
B) I had changed it to my name, it should not have effected her at all.
C) I had cancelled the hydro when I moved out.
So what happened?
As of the end of June, no money was owed on the Hydro at all.
To add to this. When I had sent her an email previously asking her if she was going to pay me $50 she had promised, she took me to HR for harrasment.
The actual email said "I have some mail for you. Are you able to pay me the $50 you promised me this check?" And she sends HR after me.
I just sent her this email
I had asked you once through email if you were going to pay me $50 on a coming up paycheck. $50 you had already agreed to. You sent HR after me for harrassment. Please do not email me again or I will do the same.
If you cannot own your own responsibilities and promises, how can you expect me to feel obliged to do the same for you.
I spent a week without power during a week when we had had a cold snap. I had to throw all my food out and barely ate anything that week. I had to sell my Magic online account and my DVD collection to scrape by.
I'll make you a deal. I give you back the comics you left behind and we call the whole thing even.
Well first of i got no idea what a Hydro is so sorry if im vague on that part of my post :p... ouch sending HR for harassment sounds like a desperate or inmature way to bully people (then again i dont yet work so i dont know how common this actually is)...
Just cheer up...im pretty sure things will start to look up pretty soon... who knows you just might find your dream shoes or a surprise visit from Devi or some other thing which will brighten everything up...
if i seem too cheerful its cause i just bought the baby stuff with my wife today... thats actually the only time im happy with spending 3-5 hours shopping with my wife... who isnt happy going through baby clothes for you newly acquired child?? (just to avoid confusion...baby is scheduled for december 19)

Must have been a blast shopping, hun.
OHHHHHH!!!! so thats what Hydro means...you people and your silly names :rolleyes:....
yeah it was actually quite nice... i just let my wife pick stuff like crazy and then softly and craftily tell her to put some things down for later oh and they didnt took my credit card today coz the signature film faded and i cant resign it...annoying but a funny thing to note now that im home. luckily thats only in one mall the other places i go dont really mind as long as i carry a valid id.
Edit: Yeah i got the Hydroelectric reference once you mention its your electricity :p...its just so many things are slanged during this day and age and i no longer know whats what unless its in plain common i never mastered elvish...drow yes but not elvish
2x Kiki Jiki, The Mirror Breaker Kiki is a house with Seedie in play.
1x Niv Mizzet, The Fire Mind Draw a card on each players turn, and do a damage to something. Sign me up.
1x Squee, Goblin Nabob I love Squee so much, always have. He is mainly here for the Bonded Fetches. Were I to get another Muse, she would take this spot.
4x Linnessa, Zephyr Mage She becomes horribly busted with a Muse in play.
2x Seedborn Muse The Meat of the deck. I need at least one more though.
2x Krosan Tusker Combines land search, deck thinning, and card draw in one card. This slot is somewhat experimental. To be honest, the deck started really working once I added these though.
4x Coiling Oracle Great accelleration. Can chump early if needed.
4x Solemn Simulacrum Coloreless mana fixing, abusable with Kiki, jump blocker, draws me cards.
1x Mystic Snake Helps provide locks with Kiki and with Linnessa
2x Draining Whelk Because I currently only own one snake :'(
2x Bonded Fetch Draw a card on each players turn. Dig,dig, dig. Awesome with Mizzet.
2x Eternal Witness Amazing with Kiki.
2x Goblin Sharpshooter Its drawback becomes moot with Muse or Kiki out. Owns swarm-type decks.
2x Anger Really easy to get in the trash, and makes alot of fun plays possible.
4x Time of Need Fetches much of the Key players in the deck. Especially fun with Linnessa in play.
1x Urza's Factory A way to use extra mana with Muse out.
1x Minamo, School at Waters Edge Breaks Kiki and Mizzet, and if enough mana is available also breaks Linnessa.
I see alot of Muse decks that run Planar Portal and use it to tutor for what they need to win. These are great, but predictable and generally do little until the Muse and Portal are in play. This deck is designed to abuse the interaction of a larger number of cards and thus be more versatile.
Changes? I need some Breeding Pools for sure, and the Whelks should be Snakes. Squee should be another Muse.
please wotc no rituals please
Apparently so, Nurse Edna.
Just something I'd throw out there for all those high schoolers going to college.

yeah it was actually quite nice... i just let my wife pick stuff like crazy and then softly and craftily tell her to put some things down for later oh and they didnt took my credit card today coz the signature film faded and i cant resign it...annoying but a funny thing to note now that im home. luckily thats only in one mall the other places i go dont really mind as long as i carry a valid id.
Edit: Yeah i got the Hydroelectric reference once you mention its your electricity :p...its just so many things are slanged during this day and age and i no longer know whats what unless its in plain common i never mastered elvish...drow yes but not elvish
Most power in Canada comes from Hydroelectric dams (Though Ontario does have a nuclear reactor)
Nice to have something to use when the ladies room is full

I was tweaking it last night and ironing out some kinks, and then the current list went 3-0.
1x Niv Mizzet, The Fire Mind
1x Squee, Goblin Nabob
4x Linnessa, Zephyr Mage
2x Seedborn Muse
2x Krosan Tusker
4x Coiling Oracle
4x Solemn Simulacrum
2x Draining Whelk
2x Bonded Fetch
2x Eternal Witness
2x Goblin Sharpshooter
2x Anger
4x Time of Need
3x Windswept Heath
3x Flooded Strand
3x Steam Vents
3x Stomping Grounds
1x Urza's Factory
1x Minamo, School at Waters Edge
2x Islands
4x Forest
3x Mountain
Analysis
2x Kiki Jiki, The Mirror Breaker Kiki is a house with Seedie in play.
1x Niv Mizzet, The Fire Mind Draw a card on each players turn, and do a damage to something. Sign me up.
1x Squee, Goblin Nabob I love Squee so much, always have. He is mainly here for the Bonded Fetches. Were I to get another Muse, she would take this spot.
4x Linnessa, Zephyr Mage She becomes horribly busted with a Muse in play.
2x Seedborn Muse The Meat of the deck. I need at least one more though.
2x Krosan Tusker Combines land search, deck thinning, and card draw in one card. This slot is somewhat experimental. To be honest, the deck started really working once I added these though.
4x Coiling Oracle Great accelleration. Can chump early if needed.
4x Solemn Simulacrum Coloreless mana fixing, abusable with Kiki, jump blocker, draws me cards.
1x Mystic Snake Helps provide locks with Kiki and with Linnessa
2x Draining Whelk Because I currently only own one snake :'(
2x Bonded Fetch Draw a card on each players turn. Dig,dig, dig. Awesome with Mizzet.
2x Eternal Witness Amazing with Kiki.
2x Goblin Sharpshooter Its drawback becomes moot with Muse or Kiki out. Owns swarm-type decks.
2x Anger Really easy to get in the trash, and makes alot of fun plays possible.
4x Time of Need Fetches much of the Key players in the deck. Especially fun with Linnessa in play.
1x Urza's Factory A way to use extra mana with Muse out.
1x Minamo, School at Waters Edge Breaks Kiki and Mizzet, and if enough mana is available also breaks Linnessa.
Interactions
Kiki Jiki, The Mirror Breaker + Seedborn Muse : Copy a utility creature on every players turn.
Kiki Jiki, The Mirror Breaker + Coiling Oracle or Solemn Simulacrum : Land/Card advantage.
Kiki Jiki, The Mirror Breaker + Goblin Sharpshooter : Sharpshooter's drawback is completely negated.
Kiki Jiki, The Mirror Breaker + Mystic Snake or Draining Whelk : Big pile of "No".
Kiki Jiki, The Mirror Breaker + Eternal Witness Regrowth every turn.
Kiki Jiki, The Mirror Breaker + Solemn Simulacrum + Niv Mizzet, The Fire Mind : Niv loves have a Solemn die every turn.
Niv Mizzet, The Fire Mind + Seedborn Muse : Draw a card and burn something on everyones turn.
Niv Mizzet, The Fire Mind + Bonded Fetch : Turns Fetch into a Timmie.
Linnessa, Zephyr Mage + Seedborn Muse : Bounce one of yours or their critters on everyones turn.
Linnessa, Zephyr Mage + Eternal Witness : With another Lynessa in the grave, this gets sick.
Linnessa, Zephyr Mage + Mystic Snake or Draining Whelk : Not as sick as with Kiki, but still evil.
Linnessa, Zephyr Mage + Solemn Simulacrum or Coiling Oracle : Card advantage and accel in a pinch.
I see alot of Muse decks that run Planar Portal and use it to tutor for what they need to win. These are great, but predictable and generally do little until the Muse and Portal are in play. This deck is designed to abuse the interaction of a larger number of cards and thus be more versatile.
Changes? I need some Breeding Pools for sure, and the Whelks should be Snakes. Squee should be another Muse.
