I think I just want to spend my New Year’s reading zines and books, drinking tea, and maybe watching a science fiction movie. Oh and pretending that I am not on my period.
I might text a person or two to see if they are busy but that is about it. I am not going to a party of old high school acquaintances or old co-workers. That would be really awkward. I don’t want to explain my...

solemnhypnotik:
Gosh, I miss those piercings.
One of the MANY reasons why I cannot wait to get top surgery is because hugs will be even more magical and wonderful and healing.
slaterwashere asked: i get that too sometimes (and has caused every injecting fuck up). i hope it’s not hurting for you? i don’t think you should worry too much about it unless it begins to bleed again, just my opinion

DEAR TUMBLR,
I DISLIKE NEEDLES A LOT. THIS MAKES INJECTING SCARY.
TODAY I BLED. IT DROOLED DOWN MY LEG. IT WAS GROSS.
I AM OKAY. I AM GOING TO MAKE SOME TEA AND PLAY SOME VIDEO GAMES.
THEN MAYBE READ SOME COMICS OR ZINES.
I JUST WANTED TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT INJECTING IS REALLY SCARY FOR ME.
OKAY? OKAY.
THE END.

have managed to acquire heineken beer.
i feel like the most socially awkward queer ever. i have nothing in common with these people (my dad’s girlfriend’s family).
and i don’t have much in common with my birth family either.
as far as i am concerned, my holigay celebrations were last weekend, where i was surrounded by loving queers and chocolate mousse.

somebody should make this stupid holiday just start already. i’ve been ridiculously tense all day. i just want all of this shit to be over so i can try and sleep well.
i feel like a jack-in-the-box. all that unreleased tension and stress. hopefully i don’t burst.
i better get some damn good poetry written out of all of this. i haven’t been able to write for weeks and weeks now.

I hung out with a ton of queer people yesterday and I just wanna say that
as a babyqueer/young queer person
it’s really nice and helpful and healing to hear
queer folks talking about their sex lives and how consensual they are and stuff.
oh and it’s also nice to just be in the presence of all these uber hot queers and femmes and tenderhearts. there are people like me out there!...
