Well, I have always considered myself on the crazy side. Provided they were not potentially dangerous or harmul in any way, I probably would!

When I was younger I used to test the freshness of milk by actually gulping a huge sip, chunks and all... (oh no, I couldn't just sniff it like normal people...but hey like I said I was always a little off... )

And one time when I was 20 I ate Milk Bones on a dare!

Okay, that might have been TMI... sorry, LOL

Next question...

In the past year, what is the most embarrasing funny situation you have ever been in?

I was at an Earth Day activity as a presenter with a booth, sponsored by several organizations. We had 300 fourth graders, and about 20 minutes with each group of 25 over two days. This was in the eastern part of one of the states that is considered my territory, and it is particularly conservative (read Southern Baptist Cowboy, drink til ya drop on Saturday night while chasing your wife's best friend, sing hymns hung over on Sunday morning). Most of the young male people had VERY short hair, wore cowboy clothes including hat (left their spurs at home). One of them was looking me over pretty good. I had been gradually transitioning for six months, and my hair was and is long, and at that time my nails were long and clean for a man's. Other than that, I thought I looked pretty butch for the occasion. This one youngster approached me with a strangely embarrassed look on his young face, and said "You look like the woman". I thought I had misunderstood him and asked for a repeat, and he did, only louder. My reaction was very strange. I am not prepared to be outed yet, not until I can retire in January anyway. Yet this kid had seen something sufficiently out of the ordinary about me that he made the comment, and it shook my confidence that I was hiding what I am going through. Mostly though, I felt embarrassed that I had embarrassed and confused him! A teacher standing nearby covered her mouth to hide a laugh, and after a heartbeat to recover, I knelt down close to him so he could hear me, and said "I guess you don't get around people that are different from you too much? You should remember that people come in all shapes, sizes and appearances, and you mustn't jump to conclusions about them too fast." His teacher chimed in with a similar comment that was about to be a put down to him that just wasn't deserved (think she was embarrassed too?), and I cut in to take any sting out of it with my oft repeated claim that the long hair was because of the way Bush was elected and a bet from popping off at the wrong time. Teacher bought it, but the kid remained skeptical, wearing much the same expression through my presentation. Still don't know what I did to tip him off? Maybe ESP?

Makes me wonder how I am going to be dealing with my developing bust very soon (Double A+ right now). I may have to retire a bit sooner than I planned. Or maybe I can blame THAT on Dubya too?

My question: Assume you were just back from Las Vegas, and had had a marvelous femme time with makeover, and your brows were plucked a little too enthusiastically, and you were "made" by a kid in a similar way. How would YOU deal with it?

Elizabeth · Post by **Elizabeth** » Tue Apr 19, 2005 10:45 pm

Hi girls,

I dont' really worry about being "made". I dress for myself. I assume that having a makeover and just being in Vegas, I would be feeling pretty good. I don't see anything changing that.

Not wearing breatforms or a wig(and balding), I pretty much look like a man in a dress anyway. It's all about how I feel. Being made does not make me feel bad in anyway.

I do realize that some of my sisters take great pride in "passing" and is a part of meeting thier needs. Perhaps if I looked differently I would want to pass, but I doubt it. I think you either feel it, or you don't. Just my opinion.

What is your favorite music CD right now. Not your all time favorite, but your current favorite?

Love always,
Elizabeth

Whats you favorite Dish to eat.? and why?
Love Raven

CJ · Post by CJ » Thu Apr 21, 2005 12:03 am

My favourite dish, eh Raven?

Hmmm... that's a tough one. No, it's definitely not Poutine, Quebecois or not!

I'd have to say Chili con carne. I make a mean Chili and have been doing so for years. Extra hot and spicy, too. I've also become quite good at whipping up an awesome guacamole as an accompaniment with tortilla chips.

Question: When was the last time you told someone other than a spouse or family member that you loved them?

CJ

Carolynn · Post by **Carolynn** » Fri Apr 22, 2005 3:57 pm

Monday, April 18th. Not a habit on my part-- I'm very private, but she needed to know somebody cared right then, and badly. A hug, and three words helped make it better for the kid. Her family had just officially disowned her for her transexuality, and she just doesn't deserve such lack of support.

A real good kid.

Elizabeth, I think you missed my point. It wasn't my embarrassment for him seeing me, it was my embarrassment at causing a child confusion and embarrassment. How would you, or anyone, deal with that?

Raven(SO) · Post by **Raven(SO)** » Sun Apr 24, 2005 5:10 pm

Hey CJ i tottaly love poutine.... i wish thay made it in america...

Raven

Who is your fav commedian?

Jan W · Post by **Jan W** » Mon Apr 25, 2005 10:31 am

Lets see, it's either Jerry Seinfeld, Robin Williams, Billy Connelly, or Bill Cosby. I'll go for .............Jerry Seinfeld. (I was only counting those who I had seen perform standup)

Q: Who should clean the toilets in the household - Husband or wife?

CJ · Post by CJ » Tue Apr 26, 2005 3:26 am

Hmmm...

is this a trick question, Jan?

I'd have to answer, "whoever is officially in charge of doing so." For example, when I last lived with a girlfriend, it was my job to "do the bowl" and its surroundings. She, on the other hand, did the vacuuming (definitely a chore when the other roommates are cats!

).

What is your ideal vacation (assuming you could afford either): a two-month safari through the African south? or a year-long cross-country tour of the U.S.?

CJ

Carolynn · Post by **Carolynn** » Tue Apr 26, 2005 5:46 pm

Hi CJ!!

Hmm, Neither vacation option you listed, I'm afraid. I would like two months in a south facing mountain cabin with a clear view to the east and the south for good sunrises and sunsets, followed by a month or so on a cruise ship leisurely visiting southern seas and two sub-continents, then three months in Thialand. I think at least the last one would make a new woman of me!

Excluding supernatural events, what would be (for you) the most important, reality bending, earth shattering, once in a millenium event?

Aeryn · Post by **Aeryn** » Wed May 04, 2005 6:00 pm

Being told we are having twins!

If you could meet any one famous figure (living), who would it be and why?

Jessie · Post by **Jessie** » Wed May 04, 2005 8:54 pm

Steven Spielberg, my Idol

When you look at anouther person what is the first thing you see? and be honest.
