GAWD You guys! Being a tranny is so great. I don't know why really but my mind keeps going there today, so I thought I'd share. It's pretty much the best ever.

I wanna hear more about this!

Like; we're all sexy n' shiitake! And some of us are sassy and some of us are all macho and some are like lumberjacks and some are ponies! Also when two stranger trans guys make eye contact there's this awesome "Yeah Bro" kind of thing... and I LOVE flirting with the other faggy tranny boys, oh man, that's fun. And it's so awesome when you're in groups of people who don't know you're trans and they make all these statements that only work if you're cis so in the back of your head you're all "smirk". Also I love how the majority of trans boys are short, oh man, I love me a short boy. BUT THEN ALSO when I meet a tall trans guy I'm all "swoon" so there's that too. I don't know many trans ladies but not to exclude them; I love them too.

Pretty forking fabulous (even if I hate the word "tranny")! Also, transgender people who are not guys or ladies! We're great too :D

Indeed! Also I ADORE the word tranny, but know when I use it I use it only for me and the rest of those who adore it! Heh.

I'm making the sharp cheddar from Artisan Vegan Cheese and it's going to take ages and I want to just eat the goop with a spoon but I shouldn't because it's cashew paste and fat and also I should wait until it's actually cheese.

But I want it noooooow.

So instead I'm dancing around on my lonesome to French psychodelic pop.

forking hell how is it only 10.30? This morning is dragging like crazy.

Blech. I was halfway through a (small) container of kimchi when I noticed that it had anchovy extract in it. I don't know how this escaped my notice. I read the ingredients of every kimchi in the store and this looked like the only one that was vegan, but I guess I didn't read carefully enough. I've tossed the rest and now I'll have to take out the garbage. (Kimchi=stinky)

It also had pine nuts in it, which I've never seen in kimchi. How pissed will I be if not only did I accidentally ingest fish, but I end up getting pine mouth from this?

how do you offer emotional support from 8 hours away for really forked up shiitake?
I seriously have no idea what to do

suggestions?

Regular texts, emails or phonecalls and just letting the person know you care. That alone makes a huge difference.

I am wearing sunglasses indoors at my desk because I am forking sick of the overilluminating fluorescent lights giving me headaches and major eye strain. I don't care if I look ridiculous, maybe this will get them to fix it since everyone is complaining.

yesyesyes of course.

My office, in a lovely listed gothic Georgian building, is so cold I would honestly not be surprised to see snow.

Things it contains: printer (enormous, broken), printer (small, working), assortment ivory chess pieces from several unsorted sets (one box for red, one box for white), radiator (enthusiastic but inefficient), wardrobe (locked; possibly containing Narnia), laminator (hell yeah) etc.

I am overwhelmed and on some serious burnout here. I'm considering buying yoga pants and becoming a stroller mom in the 'burbs. Seems like a reasonable reaction, right?

(Although I keep rereading Mars' happy gushing and it's making me feel a little cheerier.)

VeganMoFo broke my blog reader. I had them all carefully contained in a folder that I was going through when I got chance, and moving blogs I liked into my main reader. Then I just deleted the folder with the ones I didn't want. Except somehow it didn't delete it but threw back all these hundreds of blogs in with my main reader and I'll never get the time to sort them out again. DAMN.

Hackers!

What is he doing these days? (fun trivia: he was married to A. Jolie, and is Bernard Lee's son (M of 007 fame).

He's in that new Sherlock Holmes show on CBS.

3 hours and 20 minutes left of this horrible job.
It is incredible. I am getting tooooooooo excited!

Hee, hee. I was just in the supermarket and this rather well-to-do older lady (maybe in her '60s? Very well dressed and 'posh' looking) was standing behind me in the queue. I could see out of the corner of my eye she was looking at me with a curious expression on her face and then she tapped me on the shoulder and said, "daaaahling! I must, must say something. I am absolutely FASCINATED by your ears! (I have stretched lobes and had my hair tied back) They are just CAPTIVATING! Just FAAAAABULOUS. I'm in love! Tell me all about how this came about!" So hilarious/adorable.

I love that so much interrobang?!

I wish I could work from home allatimes. I don't know how to go about making that a reality though. I think everyone in my dept would prefer to work from home.

I'm going through a major guilt thing. I'm feeling plain awful for not becoming vegan sooner. It was pure selfish of me. Urgh.

I'm currently trying to carve this pumpkin to look like Casper, as requested by its owner. I can draw the face just fine but as soon as I put the knife to the pumpkin all hell broke loose. Casper looks like a winking pervy old man.

I wouldn't worry about it. What's done is done, you can't change it. I could beat myself for going back to being omni while hiking after 7.5 years of being vegetarian but I don't. Instead i focus on the fact that I did make the amazing choice to go vegan and that I did it at all and am sticking with it is all that matters.

Aww! I pretty much spend grocery trips walking by people repeating in my head "please don't talk to me," but I might not if they were that adorable.

It's usually just rednecks asking if things hurt or how much they cost...

So now when anyone takes a shower or does a load of laundry, the downstairs toilet starts spewing water all over the floor. Nice.

@daisychain- Better now than never. People come to different things at different points in their lives. Don't beat yourself up over it.

Casper came out better than I thought. He no longer looks pervy.

Ocht! Don't be guilt-tripping yourself over that! You're vegan now, aren't you? Most of us here were not born/brought up vegan and, therefore, most of us here came to veganism in our own time. Whether we were 15, 20, 27, 32, 43 or whatthehellever. Don't feel guilty! What matters is the now and not the why and what-could-have-beens!
