So I'm relaxing a bit, and coming up a little bit empty handed on what to blog about on AFF today, but I have a few ideas at least. I think I'll just try to warm up here a bit first (I might like this idea, come to think of it).
Amy messaged me telling me how my "I'm in luff" blog really knocked the wind out of her until she saw who I was talking about. I replied that surely she suspected that I would probably be off with the first blond-haired tricycle-riding tramp that crossed my path... lol! It sure makes me sick that she isn't doing well with her hands ...I hope she gives serious thought to some good voice recognition software.
So I hit 39 watchers as of today; I picked up an extremely young British chick who I suspect is not quite what she appears. The pictures she has up certainly aren't her, but at 19 yrs, I figure she'll have quite a few of life's lessons before her. Sweet lil thing though! ...she seemed to dig my sense of humor, but as I said ...I can tell when something is "off" ...I'm just not overly sure what it might be with her.
I remember quite some time ago, I met a gal who I had sooooo much fun talking to ...but I just had that same weird feeling. Well, as it turned out, she was a post-op M2F transexual ...and the "surgery" was done in the late 70's.
I don't think the M2F surgery was much more than just the removal of the penis back then; scary stuff! Not really enough to make me stop talking to her, but plenty to probably take any thoughts of sex off the table (sad but true). The deal-breaker was actually when she gave me her myspace page though. I can deal with a woman being a bit older than me; hell, Linda was 6 years older! I guess up to about 10 years is fine with me, and this gal was 9 years older.
Until I got to Myspace and saw the age dif jump from 9 to 18 years. THAT was just way too much for me, and she disappeared quietly. I find it odd that when she told me about the "little surgery" that I wasn't all that fazed by it ...and she kinda went on about how TG's really get the short end of the stick in the GLBT community, and I'd tend to agree to a certain extent. I just have to wonder if she realized that although the ommision of (original) gender may be a big thing, that some folks probably might have a harder time with the 9 year age thing. I don't think my reaction wouldn't have been a bit different with any other woman either.
It's a shame, but if feel that you have to lie about gender ...and this has GOT to be a toughie for these folks ...then you are going to get burned ...and probably burned a LOT. But if you start piling the lies upon the lies; then you are WELL and truly fucked, and there comes a point when the original gender lie becomes irrelevant. I think that would be called a "self fullfilling prophecy."
I wonder if or when this blog will make it on a google search. The top hit on google for "greaemonkey" is of course my profile and blog on AFF. I was a bit amazed to learn that "greaemonkey" is also some sort of UNIX based application as well.
Yes, when I get bored I google my own screen-names ...and even my own name at times. I've been quite tempted to go ahead and splurge on making my phone unlisted and getting caller ID. To date, I've never been able to find ANY information about the "real me" on a google search (and I don't think that's a bad thing at all), although I've found a few other interesting alter ego's with my name; one a rather publicized felon! WOW!
I assure you that the real me is quite boring.
And my muttifer who is obviously feeling much better today is informing that I need some exercise, so I'm off for now!
