I like books. I just don't want to take on too much. Do they have an introduction to the modern blurb?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I was mistaken for a guy up through my thirties. Nothing my parents would have cared to engineer. They're so...traditional.

My father asked me to put aside...something...either my passion for martial arts or computers...this last vacation, and answer his question "as a woman". Even my mother dug that I wasn't even going to entertain that shit.

That having been said, I asked a cousin when her FTM sibling's birthday was. I think it was the first time I'd used the phrase "your brother" to her. It was weird. And then suddenly, quite normal.

Because books.

Wee Jesse! And the wallpaper! LOVE.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Other mom's hair is a perm, FTR.

Heehee!

I want to snap out of this blah mood I've been entertaining the past month. Even my swims are not helping. I know it is the winter doldrums, I just don't like it.

I will echo Amy! And wee!Jesse looks just like cowgirl!Jesse!

My mom dressed me in overalls and turtlenecks and corduroys, and all I wanted was to wear dresses. I really wanted a black velvet dress, but she thought little girls did not wear black. What do I wear almost every day of my life-- a black dress! My mom so wanted me to be a tomboy, and then I had her making me Laura Ingalls Wilder prairie dresses, which is what I wore to play outside after school.

A perm? She chose to have hair like that? Oy.

I am watching House Hunters International....vacation house in Fiji. Maaaaan, I want! But I can't figure out why, if they only have a three bedroom house at home (and four kids), they aren't just getting a nicer place at home, rather than planning to truck the whole family to Fiji repeatedly!

Because books.

A girl my age had Hee Haw overalls in the third grade. They were ... something.

I don't remember much about my childhood clothes. No idea if that's good or bad.

I love your mom's smile, Jesse. So cute. (You're cute too.)

I distinctly remember having double knit slacks with the alphabet on them. Oh the 70's!

Today I was trying to figure out why so many decisions in my grown woman life were based on not "getting into trouble" and realized I have the weirdest spotty memories of my childhood. For example, one of the only things I remember that I know took place before kindergarten was that Julie on Days of Our Lives was burned and holed up in a cabin where Doug could not find her, and she was pregnant. I can totally picture her burn makeup.
