    I came out a few weeks ago on Facebook as trans but still didn't bother to make a similar declaration here as well. So yeah, this is it. It's been about 6 months or so since I made this actual decision, and came out slowly to a few friends and family I knew wouldn't react negatively, until finally making it known to the world at large (at least my little section of it) on Facebook two weeks ago. I'm still not out at work, and am still not presenting female all of the time. I've changed my name/pronouns on Facebook, so don't be afraid to use those! This coming Tuesday i'm going to see a doctor and hopefully start hormone treatment. Other than that, and the fact that i'm growing my hair out, I don't really know what the fuck i'm doing in regards to my transition specifically. It's a slow process, but it's an ongoing one. Here's the letter I sent out to people better explaining where i'm coming from if anyone cares to read it. Also, here's a pic from last week. The hair is (obviously) a wig, but i'd absolutely love to have my actual hair at a similar length. So yeah, there's my story.

    Something involving video production, ideally editing. I've always been interested and dabbled before but never went into it in too much detail. You know I've been desperate for a career change for years but nothing really appealed enough to kick me into action. Just came to me a few months ago, I've done a bit of reading in what is available in terms of work and study, my plan right now is: - Get badass PC (done). - Start making short films and edits in my spare time (begins today!) - Enrol in a night class (enrolled for August already). - If I take to it and I'm this motivated by the end of the year, I'll apply for the full-time 2 year TV production course which covers everything - direction, editing, production, sound production, etc. Giving me the best base to find a career at the end of it. Scary stuff, I might get to the end of the year and decide it's nothing more than a hobby but that's my aim right now. I'm deeply, deeply unhappy with my career.

    Whatup. I missed everyone that doesn't like the way the other forum runs so I made this one. Rest of y'all should make some fresh meat topics to reintroduce yourselves, especially those that have been away a while. I love you all. What's new with me in the last little while? Got married to Jovanna. She's awesome. A hell of a lot more relaxed than my ex and also a professional event planner (going on vacations with her is fucking awesome). I visited Europe on the honeymoon. Got to meet a bunch of the Londish there. Basically one of my lifelong dreams (not being sarcastic) along with you know, actually seeing Europe. I just had a babbo. Her name is Luna. We somewhat named her after Luna Lovegood but I also got her a stuffed Luna cat from Sailor Moon. It's awesome and she's awesome. I'm on leave for 4 months from work. Going back May 20th. Seems like I'd have a lot of free time but I do not. If the baby is awake, she requires constant attention. So yeah hi.

    This is probably my most wanted game right now... feels like the first huge improvement in gameplay and physics interactions in gaming since HL2 probably. Can't wait for June!

    The List Not listed: Re-cut hour-long episodes of re: Zero's first season. I never did watch it even though I meant to, so I might jump on these before Season 2 starts in the Spring. Not much that jumps out this season, and not much continuing. OP and Pokemon as always, My Hero Academia continuing, I thought SAO was supposed to continue but it's not listed. Might use this season as a catch-up point for other things that are ongoing (I see Kingdom is getting a third season and I've never watched, I haven't watched Nanatsu no Taisai etc)

    It's going to fail. The Matrix capitalized on the infancy of the internet (1999 and all) and played into a those simulation conspiracy theories that have been around for ages. Mix in Woo-Ping stunt coordination and ground breaking camera work (that became so overused since that it's virtually cheesy now) and what do they have left to try? It's been too long, things have changed too much. Dressing like The Matrix is lame now. The music in The Matrix isn't exactly popular anymore. They are going to have to change everything about it of they want it to feel modern enough to not be a Dad dressed in a KoRn T-Shirt with a chain wallet and spiky hair. IF I WAS THEM... I would make this movie extremely meta based. I would have the movie star Keanu as Keanu and Carrie as Carrie. They play themselves in The Matrix. Something happened and they were re-inserted with new lives. Their lives are what they are in real life right now. Pretty much exactly what Cipher wanted in the first movie. It turns out Keanu is really Neo and Carrie is really Trinity but they forgot, except for when they keep experiencing Deja Vu. The Matrix is a real movie in this movie and it was used by the machines to help dispel any reasons they might have lingering memories, it's just memories of making a movie and not a real life. Of course, Keanu and Carrie start to wake up again and see the world for what it really is - a crazy ass simulation. It plays into the world today with how insane everything is that it has to be made up by machines. It plays into ideas introduced in the first Matrix movie and it washes away being forced to recapture how the first three movies felt with a legit reason do they don't have to do lame shiny leather outfits again. It would be someone to play a role of a conspiracy nut that stalks Keanu and tells him that he believes he really is Neo and the movies aren't just make believe. He's really Mr.Anderson and everything in the movies actually happened. Keanu ignores him, of course, but it creates a mental crack in the machines false world for him that unravels through the movie.
