A long weekend coming up and I can't wait. I'm trying to decide how many times that I will dress up. I'm looking for clothes for the fall which is my favorite season of the year. I'm a sweater and skirt gurl. I saw some lovely long sleeve blouses and skirts at a thrift store. A winter coat is also in order. I may try some boots, too.

The summer has come and gone so fast. It was a great summer for me personally. I went out dressed many times, witnessed others transformation and maturity, and I found my comfort level as a transgender. I start class tomorrow in British literature. I have written much this year and more writing is in order. There's so much within me that needs to get out.

My nieces came up from Virginia to visit my wife and me. They stayed overnight. We ate fried chicken and macaroni and cheese, played games, and watched TV. It was fun.

On Friday evening I was out on the street dressed. I passed by a man panhandling for money. I dug into my purse and retrieved a few coins. I walked up to him and deposited them in his coffee cup.
"Thank you very much, Ma'am." I am still euphoric today about the comment. It's amazing how people perceive and react to you when I change my persona.

I will be starting classes on a few days. I can't wait. I was shopping for my fall and winter wardrobe. Saw some nice long sleeve blouses and some skirts. My first winter coat is in order, too.

I am going to see the movie 'World Trade Center' tomorrow. I'm curious to see how the people and the events are portrayed. I'm looking at the fall fashions. I'm a sweater and skirt gurl and I'm still searching that elusive black dress.

TGURLS HAVE MORE FUN.

It was a muggy day today. I'm packing more stuff for the move we will make in a few weeks.

My spouse likes a lime green blouse that I purchased a month ago. It goes with my light green floral and black skirts. I'm looking for brown shoes now. I love shopping now and look at as an event. I'm planning my fall wardrobe. I love wearing sweaters and skirts.

STAY POSITIVE, THINK YOUNG,
DO SOMETHING FOR OTHERS.

Things have been busy. I have been writing blogs, a short story, an essay, working on a play, and reading about famed author Edgar Allan Poe. I will be writing an essay about him.

I am searching for a transgender group that I want to become involved with. There's so many of them so I'm researching some of them on the internet. I registered for three classes this fall. Two of them are writing courses. I'm looking forward to taking those classes. I have a pretty full schedule this year. I graduate next year.

Today, I'm going to pick some earrings for myself. Clip-ons will have to do until I get my ears pierced.

I really feel good today. Life has been moving along rather well. I will start college again soon, move to a new apartment, and do more writing.

I was browsing the thrift shops and department stores for a nice black blouse or top. I didn't find one that I liked. Later, I found a black button down blouse in my spouse's wardrobe. I'm going to borrow it one day soon. We share our skirts and tops. Such is the wonderful life of a transvestite.

I am happy to see more films about transgendered men and women. I would love to see a play written, produced, directed, and acted by transgenders and crossdressers.

I was out dressed in the park yesterday afternoon and early evening. I was read by a few people. Two young women in particular chatted to themselves but I know they read me. I kept on going expressing and enjoying myself.

The park is by the water and it is so serene and peaceful. Joggers, bladers, joggers, and strollers convene in the park but I felt so peaceful and content. I just sat on a bench admiring the sunset and the activity. I thought that I was going to be hit upon by a couple of gents but nothing came of it. It was a wonderful evening. I didn't feel like I dressed my best but I needed to be out there.

My urge to dress has gotten stronger as I go further on this journey. I enjoy my life as a transgender and I wonder where this journey will take me? I imagine some people will come my way because, perhaps, some one needs the encouragement to go on and be their true selves.

IN MY ACCEPTANCE AS A TRANSGENDER, I FOUND COMPLETENESS

I posted numerous threads on the forums that I subscribe to. I'm very happy that many of my friends are moving ahead in their lives. they, in turn, have encouraged me in my journey.

I will be moving soon (not one of my favorite activities). It's a one bedroom apartment and gas and electric are included in the rent. It's amazing how much junk you accumulate over time. My wife and I will be putting a lot of stuff in the trash.

My love for shopping has increased. I need to think about my fall wardrobe. I'm a sweater and skirt gurl so i'm seeing which are the hot fall colors this year. I'm trying to decide if I will wear boots this year. A nice car coat is a must.

THE NEW YORK INTERNATIONAL FRINGE FESTIVAL

AUGUST 11-27, 2006

GENEVIEVE'S GEMS

I don't know if I will ever be a full time transvestite,
but I wonder if I could?

It was very hot today. It rained while I was at the laundry this evening. It has cooled off significantly. I have been writing much on my blogs, notebooks, and pads. I'm developing a character for the play I am writing. I am writing about a transvestite living openly in society.

I need to slow down my thoughts because I need to get them on paper. There's so much inside me that I want to say. I get those spells from time to time.

I will have information about the Fringe Festival tomorrow.

I have been a great mood the past few days. I am comfortable in my transgender status. I have been shopping and planning my winter wardrobe. My wife thinks I'm nuts but she let's me dress at home.

I'm making it a point to dress up and be out in public at least twice a week. I just have the feeling that there is some one out there that wants to dress up but may need some prodding. I would never force any one to do something against their wishes.

There are some events coming up that I hope I can attend. There's a CD club that I have attended in the past plus I have a couple of invites at a club. I have to attend to some of my personal affairs first.

I will make a few announcements of some upcoming events at a later date.
