Hey there duuuuuuudes,
I have a whole lot of updates. Most importantly, I have my endo appointment coming up on January 15. My partner and I have been having a lot of long, honest talks about what my starting testosterone will mean and what we will have to do to make sure that we really take care of our relationship. She's nervous, as am I, but I think being excited has really started to overtake whatever nervousness we've both been feeling. I also am planning to come out to my parents right after Christmas, because if it goes well I really want to tell them about my upcoming endo appointment. I'm sitting up right now working on my letter, and I'm posting the rough draft under the cut.
Also! My band just released our very first EP, entitled "The All Eyes EP," through our
myspace. My band is called Look, I'm Burning, and we're sort of metalcore/hardcore (lots of screaming and guitar riffing). The guys in my band are the coolest, best dudes I have ever met. Even though I was out prior to starting my band, having them as a social backbone and support system has helped me so much in actually pursuing the steps necessary to make my physical transition happen. They're nothing but supportive and the best friends a guy could ever ask for. Anyway, if you want to support a trans-positive indie metal band, feel free to stop by our myspace and listen to a few tracks, leave a comment, or download the EP.
