Guess who's got two thumbs and is back in college? THIS GUY.

Grades are A in pre-calc, A in psychology, B in spanish.

Paid for it all in cash I saved over the last year or so :P

Pretty stoked.

I'm making a Spanish-y theo at the moment.

Max you're back in?

What are you trying to go for now?

Aye yup.

Transfer AA degree to UW, then a Bachelors in Psychology with a minor in Spanish. Eventually, a doctorate in clinical/research psychology and then a specialization in geropsych. I want to do research to help old folks, basically, what with the population aging.

Nice, I'm still flying sats for the army in germany.

Max: I'm glad you're trying to get yourself together and move forward again. Good boy!

Anik: How much longer do you have on your military term?

I'm likely going to try and reenlist and go to Hawaii.

Oh, oh my! How have I only just noticed? Why was I not informed? This is truly a momentous occasion! Glad you guys are doin' cool shit. I see I have very much to read. Wonder if I can track down all the old notes...

Oh hey! Yeah, it's been real. Pretty sure most peeps are off RPOL now though. I know I mostly play in person now.

Theo was a pretty cool thing. Still kinda shapes my worldbuilding because I'm used to thinking of things as Realms.

Right now I'm working on a DnD 5e campaign that's gonna start in January.

I'm also transitioning to female IRL.. I'm Emily now, and recently became legally female. So that's cool.

Really?

Crailek! Hey man what you been up to?! As as I said at the beginning of the year... I have reenlisted, got promoted to sergeant, and just moved to Hawaii. Now I'm looking into how I can hop a free military flight over to Aussieland to kiss Nat straight on the mouth.

How stuff going for you Ruse?

I didn't know you actually went through with re-enlisting! Wow seems like you're gonna go career military then? Hawaii will be nice though.

For me? A lot's happened but I'm doing good overall. I recently came out to my parents and sister, I stopped case managing last year in august and now am a retirement representative - a job that I'm liking way better but it is draining some days. But as far as employers go this is my best one ever and I want to stay I think for now. I also bought a second property last year around the same time I switched jobs and am renting it out. I still haven't found true love but oh well.

I hope you all are well.

Hey! That's awesome, glad things are looking good for you then! IDK about career. Thats 20 years, I'm like lets get my 6 years of job experience and a dress and reassess how I can do in the civy world.

That's not a bad idea...let the army train you in exchange for your good service, and then you'll be able to prosper easier once you hit your thirties.

In reply to Shifting Master Ruse the Second, Zealous God of Mist (msg # 761):

yea rly. It's pretty cool. I look a little different now, them hormones doin they work.

Good to hear you're not stressing yourself to death like ye used to. What kind of property?


In reply to Demiurgic Master Anik the First, Returned God of Craft (msg # 762):

Very cool. My best buddy just joined the Marines, she's gonna be some kind of task controller, I forget the details but it meant she had to get security clearance. You've seen a lot more of the world than I ever will.

In reply to No One (msg # 766):

It's sad because you actually are a cute guy. But if you feel the need to do this change, then I understand.

As for the property...I bought a duplex last year that I'm using as an income property. I have been trying to find ways to invest and generate residual income for myself. I don't come from wealth, and as a first gen. college student I have to make my own way.

Believe me, the most these hormones have done so far is make me look like an even cuter guy - since I was already cute, the hormones (at 3 months) have mostly just cleared up and softened my skin + made my eyes larger by shifting the fat around the eyes that makes men's eyes more 'squinty'. I'll probably end up looking like your typical androgynous anime person with B cups, which I can accept.

I mean, my character in this game was literally me, and after dealing with stress morphed into a woman. I got into a serious head-on collision that I still have nightmares about in real that made me re-assess how ready I was to die. I guess that plus having an emotionally disastrous relationship with a trans man finally made me realize that I wasn't into dudes at all, I was just a woman who loved other women, and I found that most kids didn't grow up praying that God would let them wake up a girl. Who knew? I thought everyone wanted to be a girl but just shrugged and dealt with life being a dude. So first I did a ton of research, decided I had enough money and stability to do this thing, called around and found a therapist, got my diagnosis for gender dysphoria, went to a specialist who could prescribe hormones, and wham now I'm Emily and legally female.

There is some really weird shit going on though that's all political and stuff that has people saying they're trans .  .  . without a diagnosis of gender dysphoria . . . and with like xenogenders and shit. Like no dude there are knights and there are dames ok and I guess maybe there are androgynous entities but like . . I dunno. I just to avoid that whole weird trans movement that feels disturbingly like emo culture from middle school.

Lol, weren't you an emo kid?

I ATTEMPTED to be an emo kid in middle school, but my hair refused on several occasions to take dye, and I just couldn't muster the energy required to be both sad and cringe at the same time

So I just dated emo chicks instead :P

Merry Christmas everyone!

No One: Well if this is what you really want, then I wish you the best of luck with the entire process and also hope you don't have any issues culturally from prejudice and such from others over being trans. You're right...the whole dialogue in this country around sex and gender is far from a perfect place, although I do think it's improving slowly over time.

All: Merry Christmas everyone!

Merry Christmas y'all!!

Also I am getting ready to start a campaign in real life set in same setting as Theogenesis: Rust, or at least what I remember of it XD so far we have a wannabe water god that pacted with the demon prince Dagon, his coastal druid brother, and their dwarven smith-priest buddy that served with them when they were drafted to subjugate an upstart orc tribe.

Still have three more players that need to make their character before we have our first session tho, once the current Game of Thrones campaign we're playing is over.

IRL or on RPOL?

I think he means in real life.

In real life. I have two gaming groups at the moment. I DM every other Saturday and I play in my friend's campaign on Sundays - we're about to start a new homebrew campaign where I play a Blood Hunter of the Order of the Lycan, which means I used blood magic and control my lycanthropy by sheer will. Pretty cool.

How are y'all doing?

I'm running a game:
