Tears and Laughter

A life beyond transition

Welcome to my online journal, which I started in December 2002 after several very persuasive hints from friends. Although I obviously don't write about everything that happens in my life here, I hope it'll provide an insight into who I am and what's happening in my life - whether good, bad, happy or sad.

If you want to post a comment about anything I've written, please feel free to do so. The only posts I'll delete are malicious or offensive ones.

Update (18.4.2008): I've suspended comments on this journal as a direct result of abuse by spambots. Once I've found a way to stop the spambots causing disruption, I'll consider turning comments back on.

2009: Ups, Downs, Potholes and Fog...

When I took the picture above on Boxing Day (it's taken from the summit of Titterstone Clee in Shropshire, by the way) it occured to me that it rather symbolised the year we've just been through - a a maze of ups, downs, potholes and political fog, mixed in with a smattering of industrial devastation. At least, that's what it's felt like watching the news reports throughout the year. Pretty depressing all round!

From a personal perspective this is also the year when I've finally given up on my birth family. Fortunately, I now have a new family, and one which doesn't have the hang-ups and embitterment my old one seems to dwell in. Oh well - it's their loss really.

Whatever the coming year brings you, I hope it's better than the last.

P.S. I'm conscious that I've not written a thing in this blog for many months. In part that's because I'm a little unsure what to use it for now...the trans stuff is part of my past now, not my present (although it can occasionally raise interesting issues those aren't my real focus anymore). Hence I've taken a sabbatical and concentrated on writing elseware (dev forums, twitter etc.).

I have in mind to retheme and refocus the site, and when I do I may start writing here more regularly again. Who knows?
