You're a LiveJournal Fiend!

You're into LiveJournal, big time... just not as much as your friends.

Still, you've LJ'ed from work - and made posts about what you had for dinner. Sicko!

You may be safe from the clutches of LJ - or maybe you're just are an adept liar!

Life has been Crazy but looking up.

Thu, 06 Sep 2007 03:11:20 GMT

I haven't posted in almost a month so I figured why not now. The summer is coming to an end which means in with the Cold. So much is going on.

My ex has been trying to make my life a living HELL since thigns ended but I've been holding strong. I have been trying to at least but I feel emotionally drained. I'm considering going to a therapsit once a week for a few moths just to help me get things off my mind because my shoulders are tight and my eye has not stopped twitching everyday since my last face to face encounter on the 25th of August in which she called me a "WOMAN" and "SHE" because I was ignoring her trying to disrespect me in other ways. Me being the non confrontational being I am I just didn't say anything and walked away then she followed me and stated sending me texts saying that she fucked my friend in my bed and all this other shit to get my blood boiling. She 's finally stopped with the obsessive texting "FOR NOW" but if she starts up again that will be the final straw and I will get a restraining order on her.

I'm just trying to do what I have to to live my life. I started a new job and that has been going really well eventhough I have been jumping back and forth between two offices it has been cool.

My apartment looks like a war broke out in there due to my ex being vindictive and spiteful. I haven't been there really just to feed my cat and rabbit. So basically I am spending hundreds of dollars to basically have a storage space. I am apartment hunting so that will be cool. I need a vacation from the end of summer because life has been crazy since July 14th.

Breakup, shit load of drama, my apartment got disrespected and destroyed, texts upon text of messed up stuff, old job eating my soul, face to face encounters with the evil ex, New Job, More text mania, more face to face (not by choice)., Apartment hunting and the icing on the cake I had to cancel my top surgery yesterday, now that hit me below the belt because I was so close to being rid of these evil things!

I just needed to vent a little hence the need for my therapist. One woman I know doesnt need the stress though she is always willing to listen I don't want to burden her. she has been my rock and has been helping me keep my cool and not become a homicidal maniac which is what my ex will turn me into if she doesn;t leave me alone!

My fraternal twin started school back yesterday so I dont really want to stress him and he has his own life to live and deal with.

Outside of those two I have been laying low and not taking too many call except if it's from a realtor, but then again no one has really been calling so that has been bittersweet but cool.

I think my friend Evan may have gotten abducted by aliens again because I haven't heard from him so who knows.

Oh well I'm starting a new and being the laid back guy I am , I'm just gonna let it roll off me like I do with everything else and take it one day at a time.

On the upside along with the new job my facial hair is growing in like crazy and I pass 100%. Maybe I can have a sexy goatee for christmas?
I also went and got myself a few new items because I figured looking good will help me to feel good. I got some jeans that accentuate my dick and show off my sexy man ass. I also got some work pants and some other little things for myself.

I guess that's all for now

Life goes on and what does not kill me only makes me stronger!

Rescheduling top surgery

Thu, 02 Aug 2007 14:48:52 GMT

I have been feeling a little down lately first due to my recent Break-up which resulted in me losing TONS of money. The break up itself was hard since it was like 5 days before we were supposed to get married. What is really getting to me is the fact that with all this drama my funds for top surgery have been affected and I'm pretty much back at square one. If I can't rebuild my finances in time I will have to reschedule. I know there is nothing wrong with rescheduling, but I guess it is messing with me that I have come so close to have it ripped from my grasps.

I guess I was just wondering:

Did anyone else have to reschedule their surgery and if so, How did you deal with it?

or

I would appreciate ideas/ feedback around how I can deal with this unfortunate situation until I can have surgery.

Thanks

Top surgery by any means necessary!

Thu, 26 Jul 2007 19:26:41 GMT

I am trying very hard not to have to push back my top surgery so I am using any ideas and all methods that are
LEGAL to get money for my surgery.

I just added a pay pal to my personal page to accept donations. I am not ashamed to ask for help so that is what I am doing.

so please feel free also to give me more ideas on how to save up.

Thanks in advance

Bitter sweet life

Wed, 18 Jul 2007 14:52:10 GMT

Life has a weird way of doign things. My saturday was great I hung out , danced and DJed. Sunday was drama fest I will not rehash the whoel thign play by play but I will say this. I started out with just Prosponign my wedding and turned into a breakup (officially) as in we are NOT getting back together anytiem soon if ever. Monday was calmer
On Tuesday after waiting almsot a month I found out I got the job that I wanted with almost a $2,000 a year pay increase. IT may even be more (i'm crossing my fingers).

I am just tryign to focus on me now and do what I need to do. This breakup will not hurt my finances in terms of my EX movign out but it may cause me to have to delay my top surgery which sucks, but I am hoping to find a way around that. For right now I just need to take it one day at a time and I will see where life leads me. I've been doing a lot of walking so this whole situation will lead to me having stronger legs and possibly losing a few extra pounds. That's a plus.

Until Next time

Cris

P.s. Mavin is a good friend! Tan cocoa for life!

Marriage approaches and more!

Thu, 12 Jul 2007 14:28:55 GMT

I just got to work after going down to the City clerk office to get my marriage license. Next week Friday will be the marriage Ceremony we are just going to go to City Hall and for one of our future anniversaries we will do the big expensive hoopla with the band/ dj and the reception and the throwing of the bouquet. I'm excited and nervous at this point. It feels so surreal. I have a week to sew all of my wild oats before I get married. LMAO!

In other news I am still waiting to hear back about this job that I applied for. I'm so nervous. Everyone keeps telling me to relax and just be patient but it's hard when you want to leave a job so badly and the light at the end of the tunnel is so close but you haven't reached it yet so you know anything could go wrong. I'll just continue to keep my fingers crossed.

My work environment sucks, but life is pretty cool right now and I hope it stays that way.

Until next time

Oh happy day!

So yesterday when I got home my new ID was waiting for me in the mail box. I love it. It has my sex as MALE! My evenign was good too. I have been helping my queer mom write and she has inspired me to begin writing again for my own personal purposes. I feel happy to have her in my life. My girlfriend is amaxzing and with my new ID I plan on making her my WIFE!

I'll keep you posted on any further developments.

Success

Tue, 26 Jun 2007 13:12:51 GMT

I had to pass by my doctor's office yesterday which has been a drag the last few times due to my insurance being screwed up by my job.
yesterday was great though! I was able to get my letter for surgery as well as a letter to get the sex marker on my State ID and SS card changed since I already did the name change in October on all my documents. (I'm going to wait til after surgery to do the sex marker on my Birth certificate and Passport that way if the require a surgeons letter I will have it.)

So being the excited non-procrastinator that I am I went to the DMV right away. The attendant in the front was tryign to be all nosey and find out what I wanted to change which made me raise an eyebrow but when I told her she just gave me a number and the form to fill out. I filled out the form and went to the window. The guy (who was still glowing with queerness since pride was the day before) just asked me what was needed. I told him the sex marker on my id was wrong. I had the letter in my hand. He wrote somethign on the form, typed something in the computer and then gave me the paper and told me that my ID would be arriving in the next two weeks. I was expecting to have to get johnny cockrin on them but it was great. I don't know if it was because he was queer, didn't care, didn't realize I was trans, didn't know the policy or what but I'm so glad that it went well.

Til next time

It ain't over until....well who knows!

So June is Pride month in NYC. This month has been busy for me. I've been to Queens Pride, Brooklyn Pride, Bronx Pride and on Sunday June 24th I will be at the big NYC manhattan pride. It is all very tiresome. Fun but tiresome. This Past week alone was insane!

Tuesday- June 12th- Sang at Time Warner

Wednesday-June 13th- Songs from the fight concert (I had two solos and I was on both of the dance breaks. I so rock!)

Thursday-June14th- Went to work and had to miss the TMC Network meeting due to a need to practice self-care.

Friday- June 15th- Did stuff for Cravin' Productions and had to get ready for Bronx Pride

Saturday- June 16th- Bronx Pride then a mini after part at my house

Sunday- June 17th- Sang at the Pride Rally at Bryant Park (I sand, I danced and I rock!) I'm in a chorus so we all were great but this is my journal so I will accentuate the fact that "I rocked!"
I then went to the POCC Love Ball at Webster Hall. I was in VIP which was SWEEEEET!

Monday-June 18th- I sang at Radio City Music Hall for Cyndi Lauper's True Colors tour. I met Rosie O'Donnell, Margaret Cho, Erasure, The Gossip, Debbie Harry and The Dresden Dolls
I have a picture of Cyndi Lauper on my lap during a group photo (I love it!) Rosie was in the picture too with the rest of my chorus but I love the Cyndi and I moment. I also have a picture with Margaret Cho and her boob was so in my eye because I was crouching down in the picture but it's all good.

Tuesday-June19th- Talok about anti-climactic. I'm back at my borign ass day job. I'm in my office listening to some guy across the hall yell at himself . I went from beign a Star to needing a Bar! LOL Great week!. My eyes burn but Last night was worth it.

Tomorrow June 20th I will be on a panel for a transman workshop. Then I will have a job interview after that. (Yeah for job opportunities!)

On sunday JUNE 24th I will be marchign with the TMC Network for Pride! We even have cool T-shirts that say, "The 'T' is not silent"

Maybe in July I will get some sleep but for the month of June I guess all I can say is....HAPPY PRIDE!!!!!

My weekend

Mon, 11 Jun 2007 15:59:09 GMT

I am having many things that are interesting happen to me lately. I got my new tattoo on Friday, My queer mom (This transwoman who I admire) and I got matching tatttoos. They are so hot. I will be posting pictures of it soon probably both here and in FTM vanity. Saturday was Brooklyn Pride which was cool, but I was more excited about football. Football staarted late but was great. I then went to have food with my partner and my buddy Mavin. Went to an interesting Party. Sunday after getting home with the sun (according to my partner) I went to sleep, got up had sex, slept a little more, carried the laundry to get done (I don't do my own laundry anymore, too busy). Went Grocery shopping and bought half the store, went to the movies saw hostel II (It was funny to me but it grossed out my partner), got the laundry, came home, had a long fuck fest (it was great) went to sleep.

Now that's a weekend.

We'll see how this week goes. My concert is June 13th and I am nervous for the first time in my life because this is the first time that I'm doing a solo since T and I don't have just one solo but two! My musical director loves how my voice has changed since T and I trust him. I'll give an update on how that goes.

Now back to work I must go!

Tattoos on the Brain

Fri, 08 Jun 2007 03:07:45 GMT

I have been itching for a new tattoo and I am trying to decide which one to get right now. I love tattoos. I want to get something simple but meaningful for right now. I need to decide.

People Envy Your Ingenuity

You're a person with unique ideas, big plans, and a zany outlook on life. Many people look to you for inspiration.
People envy your creativity and "who cares?" attitude. They feel very ordinary next to you - and they usually are!

What Do People Envy About You?

The boredom continues

Wed, 30 May 2007 20:12:51 GMT

You Are 92% Creative

You are an incredibly creative person. For you, there are no bounds or limits to your creativity.
Your next creation could be something very great... Or at least very cool!

How Creative Are You?

Boredom at its finest

You Are a Learning Cook

You've got the makings of an excellent cook, and the desire to be one.
But right now, you're just lacking the experience. You couldn't be a top chef yet, but you could be an apprentice.

Are You A Good Cook?

Interesting day and it is only 2:15pm

I really need to leave this job. I am just going to hang on until I have surgery in October and then that's it! This place is out of control and the sad thing is that it has nothing to do with the work load or the clients. It is all staff and there isn't anything I can do because nothing is being done to me or said to me, but I am secretly hoping that someone will say something so that i can tell them where to go and what to do when they get there.

*sigh*

I also just called my mother back since I saw that I missed her call. She tells me, "I have somethign to tell you and you aren't allowed to say anything. I just got my beneficiary form to confirm that all the information on it is correct. I was looking it over and it says It says Andrew, son...Cris, son... Paul , son... that's all bye" then she hangs up. I don't know how to take that. Should I assume that she is going to leave it like that and be happy or should I assume that it bothers her and this is the calm before the storm?

Trans Prom 2007

Sat, 26 May 2007 15:48:47 GMT

I just saw Mavin's long ass recap mostly focusing on issues between him and the other DJ so here are my thoughts with less of the drama and more of the fun.

Prom was AWESOME!

The TMC Network deserves much props for coming out strong and sacrificing personal time and money to make Prom rock!

Mavin and I were the back up DJs but the guy booked for the job showed up 2.5 hours late so we were rockign the house until he came then he wanted to shut us down liek we didn't know what we were doing. No worries we managed to work it out. Mavin and him had some words but then we got some cash and all was well.

The Prom King, Prom Queen and Prom Genderqueer were all smiles. Well the Prom King seemed shy but whatever, it was fun.

I have some kick ass pictures as a result of prom. One with me and my girlfriend, one with me and Mavin, and one with me and my "coommunity family (My transbrother, his wife, My transmom, my girlfriend and I )

We had a lot of people! There was a range of outfits but many of the guys from the Network were looking oh so delicious. Me being one of them!

Many of the Transwomen came out looking good too.

We were dancing up a storm I think people lost like 5lbs at prom, I know I did!

Afterwards i helped with clean up, then Mavin, my girlfriend and I went out to this mexican place. We had some food and some drinks then mavin got a little interrogated by my girlfriend. I just laughed a lot about the whole situation.

We then parted ways with Mavin and took a cab from the village to the Brornx (baller style)

We were supposed to have post prom sex but we passed out as soon as we got in. No worries day after prom sex is just as good if not better.

HAPPY TRANS PROM 2007!

Would you look at that!

Your Element Is Air

You dislike conflict, and you've been able to rise above the angst of the world.
And when things don't go your way, you know they'll blow over quickly.

Easygoing, you tend to find joy from the simple things in life.
You roll with the punches, and as a result, your life is light and cheerful.

You find it easy to adapt to most situations, and you're an open person.
With you, what you see is what you get... and people love that!

What's Your Element?
