1st Post on my New Blog, I Hope This is the Last Time

Well, I haven't seen what is so much better about logging into the new Blogger.com yet but I'll give it some time. Really I haven't looked either. Interesting event today. I was having dinner with my parents and just making conversation when I asked my Mom (a lactation consultant) how old her oldest patient was. Well she told me but one thing led to another and she tells us about the weirdest patient she ever saw. Wouldn't you know it, the patient was transexual and "the ugliest woman I've ever seen" says my Mom. Hardly a ringing endorsement for transitioning I just wanted to steer the conversation away but my Mom was having fun telling her story. Now I'm only out of the closet with my Brother so nobody else knows and I don't intend to draw attention to myself until I have a safe place that I can be myself. I still feel bad about how I handled it though. Basically, I just agreed that the person in question was a freakish crazy person who it was ok to crack jokes at. I wasn't sure what else to say though and I know I can play the straight guy routine pretty darn well so that is what I did. I should be proud of who I am but I can't take that risk until I am safely in my own world. I need to be smart and that person will never hear what I said about her though my words could inadvertently hurt other Trany's. I feel like a week willed faker. Well, I've stopped feeling like a faker because I know that I truelly want this life.

14. For reasons that cannot be explained, cats can suddenly read at a twelfth-grade level. They can't talk and they can't write, but they can read silently and understand the text. Many cats love this new skill, because they now have something to do all day while they lay around the house; however, a few cats become depressed, because reading forces them to realize the limitations of their existence (not to mention the utter frustration of being unable to express themselves).

This being the case, do you think the average cat would enjoy Garfield, or would cats find this cartoon to be an insulting caricature?

:) cute question, it's fun for me to wonder what his train of thought was when he came up with his questions. What was he thinking about? What is he trying to figure out by asking it? This time, I'm not sure. I mean the question seems so unimportant. Am I supposed to care if my cat is happy or not? Maybe I'm supposed to show how much or how little I care about a helpless animal.

In this question I don't think the answer of yes or no is the answer he is looking for. I believe he wants to hear your thoughts on PETA.

Oooh, maybe it's simpler than that. Maybe he just wants to find out if you like cats?
