Reunions

So, I am about to reconnect with not one, but TWO friends!!!!! One I used to work with at CVS. She was the supervisor and we worked really well together cause we were both two "get sh*t done" kinda girls. When I moved on to not need two jobs, she ended up with her EMT certification and is currently with an ambulance service. She's a pretty cool chick and it'll be nice to do dinner with her.

The other friend is the person that brought me into the leather community. FOr a few years she was my best friend and my significant other. Things didn't work out and we drifted away and haven't really been in contact, mostly cause we both have crazy a$$ schedules. But, I didn't want to hurt her feelings and wanted to make sure that she would be okay with me going back into the leather scene, so I messaged her and made sure. She gave me her blessing and asked to get back in touch. We were really great friends and it would be nice to be back in contact with her.

This also reminded me, however, how lonely I feel at work. It's been rough since my deskmate, Mary, was moved to another office.

I want the world to be more understanding of the trans community and those transitioning, as well as other groups within the alternative lifestyles (aka the leather community, drag community, etc). WHat I am trying to do is live a normal HAPPY life involving the leather community and probably some of the drag community and be able to show "regular" people that we're not really that different. We all want to be loved and cared about and things like that. Being trans, or gay, or submissive, or whatever is no different than anything else when you look at a persons' basic needs.

In other news, I got a really really really really really really awesome confirmation from a friend of mine in California. She promised to visit me in the hospital after my surgery EVEN IF SHE HAS TO MISS THE INTERNATIONAL DEAF LEATHER COMPETITION!!!!!! She is FREAKING AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!! the funny part is that I was threatening her about getting herself too sick or burnt out to come see me compete at ABW. But we sorted it out so that she knew that I didn't doubt her being there after surgery. I think that will be the warmest thing in the world is getting a hug after surgery from my Beloved AND my sister in leather!!!
