I decided to put my hair in pigtails the other day and take a few pictures. :D I wasn’t really sure if I should post any of them or not but what the heck, right? lol
I also braided them later on but I have no pictures of that, sorry. Next time. :)
Here’s a picture of the ponytail I often wear indoors. I set it pretty high cuz I think it looks pretty that way. <3
Recently I put myself on a dating site. Not a transsexual dating place, but a real ‘regular’ dating site, if there is such a thing. It is a scary thing to do as a transsexual and I can imagine there are others that did it or have thought about it and asked themselves: “Do I tell them? Or do I hide it?”. Reason being mostly that you want to make sure your dates contact you because they have an interest in who you are.. not what you are.
Now, I’m not a big fan of keeping things a secret, for one I suck at it, always having to remember what I can and cannot say just stressed me out, and for two I just plain believe in openness. I know I’m in the minority here but if I wanted my life to be a secret I would’ve moved before going through transition and possibly in hiding until I was done, or move again.
So I decided to put it in my profile. In the very first line I explain I am a pre op transsexual and that I’m still very much in the transition phase. This is also the only time I talk about it. I call it filter number one. Anyone who stops reading right there I had no interest in getting to know anyway. The rest of my quite extensive profile just deals what I’m looking for and what I’m not looking for.
After receiving interest from a bunch of people I have exchanged MSN addresses with several of them so I could talk with them and get a better impression. Which I’ll talk more about on a later date. Quick flash forward to yesterday: It was supposed to be my very first date. “Supposed to be” because the guy never showed up, then finally canceled about half an hour later than he was supposed to be there. Utterly lame but I guess I’m better off, huh?
So instead I stayed home, ordered pizza, and watched “He’s just not that into you” last night. Good movie, especially if you’re dating, it has some nice tips on how to read the ‘signs’ guys give out during dates. Or more importantly, how not to misread them. Mainly, it’s about one particular woman who thinks that every guy she dates is Mr. Right, then wonders why they never call her again. It’s a good and fun movie that has its share of comedic elements but is certainly not a comedy. I recommend it!
Today, I bought a lot of make-up. And by a lot I mean A LOT! …BEHOLD!
Apart from the Maybelline & Manhattan mascara & lipstick, most of this was pretty cheap. Of course it does add up when you get to the register. ;) I did really need to expand my make-up collcetion though. It gives me more room to experiment (like, what colors look good on me/together) and more ‘practice fodder’.

I should be doing this with a lot more regularity than I currently am. but I do my best. Maybe one of these days (I mean years *cough*) I’ll be making this a weekly, or even daily thing. Ah well.. One can dream, right? ;)
Picked up my pre order of the Collector’s Edition of Sims 3 today. I managed to snag it for the price of the regular version so it wasn’t too bad of a deal too.
I was a big fan of Sims 2 and had all the expansions so I was very much looking forward to this new installment of what was the best selling computer game of all time.
The game came in a pretty big box in which you could already clearly see the Sim dongle. A 1GB (I think?) USB stick in the shape of the oh so familiar Sim diamond that hovers over your active Sim’s heads.
Inside there was a lot of papers; a quick manual, a big manual, stickers, and leaflets with code to download the special collector’s edition’s car and even a second neighbourhood!
I haven’t played around with it a lot yet, but it definitely looks like lot of fun!
One thing that I did notice fairly quickly was “omg no pets!” lol. There aren’t any expansions (yet) of course so there’s no pets, no college lots to play, or even bars to hang out in. I’m sure they’ll be making expansions for it fairly soon, this is bound to be yet another huge hit! :D
