I disappeared
I don't even know why.. I just did. Probably something along the lines of laziness. I dunno.
But I'm at least back for right now. So those that don't know me, hi, I'm Skylar, your friendly neighborhood geek. No, really. In every way imagineable. Food? Yup. Scifi? Yup. Books? Yup. Philosophy? Yup. Music? Yup. Politics? Well.. moreso than most kids my age, at least.
I'm also very gay, and trans. Not very trans. Just trans. I'm pretty sure there is no very trans, but whatever. Point is I don't identify as trans, per se. That just happens to be the way I was born, and I'll never really try to escape that.. at the same time, I'm not gonna tell everybody I meet that I'm trans, it's not making my life some sort of major sob-story, I'm not that person who stands out in the streets and screams out "HEY GUESS WHAT? I'M TRANS!!" I'm an activist in the sense that I want equal rights, and I'm vocal about that, and I'm vocal about all gender issues, but I'm not vocal about myself. Whenever I'm vocal about myself it just results in people who have only ever known the real me using the wrong pronouns, and that's not something I can deal with. Especially when I pretty much identify as male, just a male who happens to have to complain a lot about medical system crap and whatever.
Speaking of which, I'm fifteen. I've been out as trans since fourteen, I've been going to every doctor within two hours of me for the past year to try to get testosterone. Nobody will help. It's not because my body's not ready (I've done the research), it's not because I'm not mature enough, or I don't know myself well enough (I haven't changed my mind since I was six), it's just because I'm fifteen instead of sixteen. And I will be for another five months. So that's awesome.
What else? I dunno. I guess that's pretty much been my life since I left. I had a boyfriend for a while, which was a bad idea.. not because I got hurt, because I hurt him. I shouldn't have been with him in the first place, and I ended up hurting him a lot. I wish I hadn't agreed.
I need motivation for homework. Bleh.

Hehe, Spiderman reference.
So... Those doctors can suck it. It's twelve kinds of ridiculous that they're making you wait even though your mind and body are already there. What's a few months at this point? Just some numbers on a sheet. And you've heard this rant before but it still pisses me off. I know what waiting for HRT is like, nobody should have to wait this long over something like this. :/
And don't beat yourself up too much about the last boyfriend. It was a mistake maybe, but we all make mistakes and what's important is that you've learned from it.
Oh, also, sorry for ranting at you about the ridiculousness of my family while you have homework that needs to be done. I will withhold further rantation until you no longer have pressing project-work-stuff.
Haha, trust me, I'm more
Haha, trust me, I'm more aware of that than anyone. I think I've finally found a doctor, but my mum has to remember to call them tomorrow.. maybe I'll call her on the way to art school. xP
I knoww, but I still feel terrible for doing that to him. And probably always will.. ><
That's definitely allowed, though. Actually the more I think about it the more I realize I don't actually really have to be doing that.. it'd just be good if I did. But I have at least a week and it's just a few journal entries from the points of view of Romeo and Juliet characters. I mean like.. a few angry rants, a few overly emo rants, a few factual logs on what occurs in Verona.. not so hard. *shrugs*

The one and only tip: If
The one and only tip:
If you're bad at drawing something, draw it. Drawing from life is best but photos work too in a pinch.
And then you know what you do?
You draw it again
and again
and again.
From different angles, in different kinds of lighting, in different poses. Whatever. Just draw lots and lots of hands, you'll be ace at it sooner or later.
I'm an artist too. XD; That's how it goes, there's really no getting around it.
Yeah, that's pretty much all
Yeah, that's pretty much all there is to it..
