This journal … diary of my emotions and thoughts and experiences … pretty much is completely honest and accurate …<\/p>\n
Oh sure, Shaft is a little more gravity challenged than I make him out to be …<\/p>\n
But for the most part, there’s very little embellishment, understatement or fiction … it’s just the way it is.<\/p>\n
I write the way I talk, I write the words I use and I write the way I think … just ask anyone who knows me … it’s just me, lil ol’ boring me.<\/p>\n
So … when I phuck up … I think it’s important for me to acknowledge such … so others can learn …<\/p>\n
What in the hell was I thinking letting someone touch my hair less than two months before transition ??<\/i>
\n
\nThat’s pretty much my thought … I phucked up …<\/p>\n
But this is a legitimate learning experience …<\/p>\n
And just part of the irritating, perky nature of my personality, I’m finding a great benefit from this in spite of my phuck up …<\/p>\n
See … I instructed Mr. Strapping Stylist to give me a style that would present a clean, professional boy look …<\/p>\n
And a cute, bobbish girl look.<\/p>\n
And this morning, when I did just a tiny bit of tinkering even with my bed hair …<\/p>\n
In incredible easy fashion … I was able to have my sickening Amy-cutesy look … yeah !! \ud83d\ude42 … a bit on the short side, but definitely my look … and more fashionable and chick-ish than before.<\/p>\n
And then when I prepped it for boy mode … the cleanest and most professional its looked in a long time !!<\/p>\n
So … what’s the problem with it?? Why was I so despondent over the new do ??<\/p>\n
The loss of my ponytail … that’s why.<\/p>\n
Ahhh … but didn’t you just say it’s a cuter look now than you had before ??<\/p>\n
Yes.<\/p>\n
So … what’s the problem ??<\/p>\n
No problem really … but this is what I forgot …<\/p>\n
I didn’t ask Mr. Strapping Stylist to also provide for an androgynous middle ground look.<\/p>\n
Huh?<\/p>\n
Yeah … It was a boy pony-tail with just a few strands of hair falling in my face … it allowed me to go out and about and sort of switch between the looks as needed or desired …<\/p>\n
Again … so what’s the problem … with losing the androgynous look ??<\/p>\n
Well … again … I really wouldn’t say it’s a problem … I’d simply describe it as suddenly having my training wheels removed !!<\/p>\n
See, when I did my andro look, hair and clothes,<\/p>\n
Which I did a great deal,<\/p>\n
It allowed me to quickly adapt to the role the person was seeing me present at that time …<\/p>\n
I reduced my reads because I could almost always be what was seen.<\/p>\n
But … now, without my training wheels …<\/p>\n
I’ve got more pressure,<\/p>\n
Pressure to be one or the other.<\/p>\n
And that phreaked me out,<\/p>\n
But hey, you can’t take a mountain bike on the trails if you’re still using training wheels !!<\/p>\n
Honestly, in retrospect, I wish I had done this about four months ago …<\/p>\n
‘Cause the more time without training wheels … the better.<\/p>\n
