      To be honest, Ian buying me that stupid moustache that I christened "Pistachio the Moustachio." He gave it to me at a time when I was really depressed, and I always said "my life would be better if I had a moustache," so he gave me one. That really meant the world to me.
      Also, Dimitra going to the trans conference with me although she had to skip school and had to look at really graphic pictures with me. That was also an amazing thing that she did for me. it meant a lot.
      AAAND this one is silly but Amberlee meeting me for the first time and just sort of being like "k." with my transgenderism stuff. That was really fucking awesome of her and it was my first experience with someone being just totally accepting of it.

      He's a family friend that I worked for. Uhm, here, I'll just give the full story.

      My family met Steve because he wound up getting his finger cut off during a freak weight lifting accident. Dad stuck by his side in the emergency room and it was the start of a friendship (my dad does not make friends easily so he was really special to my family). He was an army nurse and blahblahblah.
      The medication that the hospital prescribed him was an opiate essentially and Steve got addicted. When they cut off his supply, he sought it in Camden. He took our minivan and drove it to Camden one night to buy a bunch of heroin. He shot it up in Camden, tried to drive back home, and wound up crashing into a diner - destroying our car.
      Since then, my family has dedicated a large portion of our lives to him. We drive him places (he got his license revoked) and helped him with his tiny business, Green Planet Products. I started doing work for him about a month ago just doing data input.
      He had been clean for about 30 days, checked himself into rehab and tried to get his life on track. He petitioned to get his license back and got it back. Everything looked like it was going great.
      He told my family he was going to help his girlfriend in court and go to his probation office on Monday. Instead, he took OUR car that we were letting him borrow into Camden, got heroin, shot up, and crashed into a pole. It's about $3000 worth of damage, a $3000 my family really doesn't have. I mean my brother is handicapped, most of our disposable income goes to his medications.
      When mom went to go get him, he said he had three bags of heroin lost in our car. Mom freaked out but couldn't find them.
      She went over his house earlier today (Tuesday) to make sure he was okay and ask for the money to fix the car. She found him dead in his closet with a heroin needle still in his arm. (It looks like those three bags weren't lost at all, but were in his pockets. What probably happened was that he didn't have a tolerance to the drug and shot up as much as he would have when he had a high tolerance. His body couldn't handle it and he went into cardiac arrest.)

      The end. Goodbye, Steve.

      That sounds good. I'm only telling my dad and I'm telling him because I am totally cracking. I am falling apart at the seams and turning into a mess and it is not doing well for me. I'm telling dad because I like him better, he doesn't freak out nearly as much, and he's not homophobic/transphobic. Plus he's kind of an ex hippie so he has a duty to accept and love everyone right?
      Thank you. (: I'm trying my best to calm down a bit. I've been really freaked out for a few hours.

      I made a list of 100 books I wanted to read in 200 days, but with a job and such it was pretty impossible. I am a fast reader but I would need at least 4 hours a night to devote to it and unfortunately at a certain point most of my night was dominated with work.

      But thanks for the idea! I'm happy that you got through so much of it. What was on your list?

      -laughing- no no no it's fine! I laughed a lot. I wasn't sure if it was a compliment or not - either way, it made me laugh hysterically.

      LOL I'm a ftm, hoping to transition in college. I can't stop laughing right now.

      I'm glad you picked up on the SF theme C:

      LOL I've been thinking about it for a lot longer than that. There are a few tattoos I really, really want but are too big to get on the first try. I'm trying to think of something condensed. But I've had the idea of something alchemical related for a month or so now. Which I admit isn't a very long time but it's longer than 27 days.

      And I know people are like, "HOW DO YOU KNOW YOU WON'T REGRET IT!?" and I can answer that. Alchemy ties together two things that I dearly love: chemistry and psychology. Alchemy is the ancient study of chemistry, based off of the initial elements found. Carl Jung, a Swiss psychologist/psychiatrist, saw alchemical symbols as symbols of the inner-being. It also ties together a part of me that I lost a while ago, that I don't want to forget: the part of me that was obsessed with "cartoons." I'm okay with using the alchemical symbols - which are prevalent in the anime Full Metal Alchemist - to broadly represent this background of mine. WHAT'S MORE, I'm very interested in ancient civilizations and what the ancient humans thought about the world - I think their theories are fascinating and I love learning about them. The alchemical symbol would tie together this interest of mine also.
      So by getting an alchemical symbol, I not only tie together my love of chemistry (my FUTURE) and my love of psychology in to a little-known, minuscule link - but I also tie together my love of "cartoons" (my PAST) with my ancestry's past.

      So dear anon, I really do appreciate the concern - I'd have probably commented the same way, too. But I know what I'm doing and it's not like I'm going to pick the tattoo out the day before. <3

      (Oh, and PS - it doesn't have to be indefinitely on my birthday. I am just allowed to after my birthday, when ever I choose to. It'll more than likely be a week or maybe even a month after.)
