Friday, February 29, 2008. Ruth and I went to the photo booths after the worst week. I think we were ready to be done with it, and usher in a new sentiment. We got to our favorite photobooth in town and it was out of order. (As the second photo depicts as I am sitting inside the booth, having crossed the very official notification on the weathered masking tape stating the obvious. I am pissed! So I did. I went back to scheming and dreaming like my typical Sagittarian ways. I enlisted good friends...Respo...

self-made...: November 2007
http://selfmadelani.blogspot.com/2007_11_01_archive.html
Wednesday, November 28, 2007. So, after much prompting from many friends, I have finally tried to get my arse in gear to create a way to keep people posted on my "transition." I put it in quotes because even as much as it is the official term for my experience right now, it feels much more like a metaphor. How shall I say. :. Across; over; beyond; to change. One whose primary sexual identification is with the opposite sex. One who has undergone a sex change. Is that what this is? We are told, "Now we wil...

self-made...: Changes I've noticed...
http://selfmadelani.blogspot.com/2008/03/changes-ive-noticed.html
Sunday, March 16, 2008. I have recently reconnected with a few friends from college, and have been trying to explain how certain things have shifted since I began my transition a few years ago. My friend was joking about male pattern baldness, which really triggered a huge reaction in me, as I fear that so desperately say it ain't so! Anywho here is the list of some of the changes that I have noticed. The changes i have noticed since being on testosterone. I have a lot more energy, meaning i generally ha...

self-made...: December 2007
http://selfmadelani.blogspot.com/2007_12_01_archive.html
Thursday, December 27, 2007. My friend Melanie has been absolutely incredible. She came to pick me up in the middle of the night when I was nearly passed out on my parents' bathroom floor when I saw my chest for the first time unveiled. (Blackened nipples, and bloody stitches. My first post-op shower was not a. I'm not even that squimish, but seeing that shit nearly made me hit the floor instantly.). She stayed up with me half the night to simply talk, and listen, and help me. It was so selfless. I'm wat...

self-made...: Scar tissue
http://selfmadelani.blogspot.com/2008/02/scar-tissue.html
Saturday, February 23, 2008. I have witnessed my own subconscious sabotaging methods for decades. Since I was 15, I have tried to employ so many "self-help" techniques, and enlisted so many therapists to help me make the changes necessary to "get over stuff. And just be happy already." I think I am starting to see that it doesn't necessarily work like that, but I'm still not sure how it does. Why could I make no considerable progress? When do we stop believing that we are worth our own dreams? How can we...

self-made...: Transparents
http://selfmadelani.blogspot.com/2008/03/transparents.html
Saturday, March 29, 2008. I haven't been writing much for this venue, as I have been trying to focus my energies for the piece that I will be submitting to Elle Magazine. (Biting my nails on that one! How do I know where to begin? Anne Slowey told me to just write and write and write, and not to stop, not to self edit. I hope she doesn't end up regretting that advice! It's been an interesting few weeks. So many wild intersections of my life these days. That was 2005, when he completed his film Transparent.
