1. I'm trying a different format for this entry.
2. I blatantly stole it from my very talented friend Katie R.
3. With her permission.
4. Yes, really.
5. Labor day has passed and with it two anniversaries.
6. A year ago on August 28, I was thrown out of MIL's House and that same day I was elected into Vanity Club.
7. I'd be lying if I said that the anniversary didn't affect me.
8. A LOT
9. Like Darkness wise.
10. A few weeks ago, a local teen transman threw himself in front of a train.
11. That started to look very attractive.
12. Beats a shotgun. I don't own one.
13. In any case, I kept thinking about my daughter.
14. I think my not living with her and her mother has done some damage, and I want to see her grow to be a woman.
15. So I'm still here. Really. This isn't a ghost typing.
16. Or is it?
17. SCC is this week. I can't afford to be there.
18. I wish I could.
19. Maybe it's for the best. SCC was the last place I saw Lisa Empanada alive.
20. Yes I'm thinking a lot about her these days.
21. My birthday is coming up. It will be my first as my true self.
22. I've invited many of my cis-friends to join me at Laptop Lounge (which early this month.)
23. Laptop is early because a Jen Bryant Raven party is on the third Saturday- the 20th.
24. It's then because there was a conflicting event at the Raven on the 13th.
25. That conflict is NOT my birthday, even if it's on my birthday.
26. I'll be 48.
27. Anyway, the idea is for both sides of my life to interact and meet and maybe have some fun.
28. Oh, and to get people to LL because Angela wasn't sure about how a re-schedule would go over.
29. I try to help my friends.
30. I will also be at the Raven Party on the 20th.
31. Sandy Empanada and Ally will be there. As will Hayden. And many more of my friends
32. And maybe some friends I haven't met yet.
33. It's a hot day here today. And humid.
34. Summer's almost gone, but not quite.
35. I mean, Penn State has already played a game!
36. In Ireland! And they won!
37. Go Penn State!
38. If money is available, I intend to go up to PSU before Christmas, if only for a day.
39. I'm still struggling to make rent every month.
40. Linda and I need a roommate to share expenses.
41. No luck finding one yet.
42: The answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything.
43. I never read that book.
44. Hey my geek cred comes from reading comics and working in the gaming industry.
45. I worked for 13 years in the hobby games industry.
46. I did freelance editing for TSR (Dungeons and Dragons), worked at a games distributor, and spent nine years at Games Workshop.
47. But I still never read Douglas Adams
48. I'll be 48 this year (didn't I mention that?)
49. I read Tolkein though.
50. I only read the first book of Game of Thrones. I was forced to by a boss at the aforementioned GW. And he spoiled the ending of the book for me. So I never read another,
51. That was 13 years ago.
52. In any case, this has gone on long enough.
53. Be Well!
