I do not wish to be awake right now.

I had a lovely fundraising committee meeting tonight. An old coworker from college came and gave some really good ideas. Their goal this year is to be more queer and they're interested in doing volunteer work with us, so I think I'll be seeing more of them.

I had a fantastic support group last night. Four of us in total. The whole group of us just clicked. My new best friend (again, she's not aware of this yet) was there. She goes by Zee and was surprised to find out that her name is a pronoun that people use (she does not use it herself).

I need more groups like last night please.

Think I'm gonna corner the market on Digimon cards.

The Michigan congress is full of the worst men. There's the guy in the link, harassing anyone who's not another white guy. Then there's my personal representative, who was busted by the FBI on bribery charges.

And of course they are both Republicans.

My apologies for being away. Here's a graphic novel cover to make up for it.

I follow a lot of trans people throughout the various social media sites I'm on and they are at all stages of their transformation. They are wonderful and I love them all. I'm also increasingly jealous of their journey.

It seems that a rash of them are either getting their bottom surgery or have decided to be more than just trans. I'm happy for them, I am, but I'm also envious. They are nearing the end of their journey, moving past the trans label and I'm here, still awkwardly trying to figure out what it even means to be trans.

Not only am I sort of lost in my own trans journey, but as the leader of the local trans/gnc support group, people come to me for advice on the trans experience.

It often leaves me floundering. I've noticed that I have withdrawn a lot lately. I don't really speak unless spoken to. I can't seem to find joy in the things I once did. The world just seems more meh than ever.

I just wish I had a handbook, ya know? Someway to figure my way through this thing called life.

Welcome to FRIDAY! Tell me, what' something good that's happened to you all this week? For me, it's the fact that I earned the Service Excellence Award at work for the month of December. It was a bit of surprise, but I'm glad my coworkers felt like I did a good enough job to vote for me.

UMMMM!

EXCUSE ME!!

BRIGATIA!

WHY ARE YOU SO CUUUUUUUUTE!??!?!?!?!?!?!

Some dude at work did some good stuff.

She is not aware of this fact yet, but she is going to become friends with me.

Tonight's gayme night went very well. I met a lovely trans woman who's in town indefinitely from the Seattle area and she's probably coming to next week's trans and gnc support group.

Brigitia is such a little badass.
