oh, my #thunderbird reminder just went off, reminding me that tomorrow morn after my shower i need to do a quarterly job i dislike, which is a consequence of my second trip to thailand in 2006. it involves tweezers, a torch, & my magnifying mirror... oh & my bed.

thinking about it made me realise, for the bajillionth time, how lonely it's been, having nobody to discuss all the amazing things that i organised to happen to me, & various other things i did myself, over that three year journey. statistically so few people ever experience it or directly know anyone who did, & so most vanillas ofc have no idea at all about any of it, & have shown zero interest in asking questions. the one friend who travelled her same parallel journey across approximately the same time, & with whom for a while during the Befores, & the Afters, i could discuss & compare notes, exited the stage several years ago, oh well.

so, the Dire Dreaded Depilatory Deed is done anew, Thunderbird can slumber again for another half-year

happily, like last time, only minimal internal tweezing needed, phew

sigh, the things one has to do...

more can be explained on request, but more shan't be blathered sans-interest

@MsDropbear42 it sounds like an activity for a contortionist

@cheryanne ha. it surely would be easier to do if i actually were such! sometimes i do wonder at what age i shall simply need to abandon this periodic gardening & just let the weeds do their worst. oh well, worse things happen at sea. in space nobody can hear you scream. a rolling stone is a dangerous weapon. et al. 🤪

@MsDropbear42 😁 I did wonder about the limberness required. Oh well I suppose it's one reason to maintain your lithe figure and agility.

oh, the trials and tribs…

you know how when blokes get to a certain age all the hairs on their head ooze downwards and start growing from ears ?

well, for me, the greatest benefit of mentalpause has not been the end of regular demonstration , but thinning of inconvenient hair
cos, y’know, not a contortionist

but also, yeah… having lost a soulmate i get the loneliness of not having that one person around who gets [whatever]

@MsDropbear42 perhaps people are nervous to ask? I find the experiences fascinating - I have a couple of friends who are, on occasion, very open about the various procedures they've had (and haven't had) and the "what happened after" stories. But I've never asked until they volunteered. These are people I first met in their new lives. The only person I met mid transformation I would ask after each trip because she wanted to share it all (early 2000s).

@cheryanne ta for nice reply.

I've never asked until they volunteered ah, there's the issue, for me anyway. classic catch22. writing that late-night post was about as "forward" as i can be, in that all my existence i've associated peeps who spontaneously talk about themselves as being unspeakably egotistical boorish yuckos, from whom i like to bigly distance myself, thus the idea of me more or less doing a form of "well that's enough about that, let's talk about me" is largely anathema. to emphasise; there's nothing about my transition experience i'm unwilling to share/discuss per se, tis just that given my reticence to put myself forward in the first place, such convos just never initiate. wotta major major major major mediocrity 🤭 maybe now some milo? 🤦‍♀️
