Today marks my 1-year tranniversary! Finally made it through my first year of living my truth!

Still getting friend requests from randos. My mom's best friend and a childhood friend of mine have both offered suggestions. They could be psychos out to harm me, they could be chasers, they could be scammers/catfishers. I still don't respond to their requests at all. Out of the hundreds of friend requests I've gotten, I've only responded to one of them, and that was a woman in this trans group I'm in. It's a small group with only 123 members, and I'm one of the founding members. The woman in question is very new to presenting female so some other members and I have been giving her help in navigating the waters.

My local B-Dubs had small wings at first, then they changed to bigger ones. That was in 2012, almost immediately after that location opened. I would go there because they had a better selection of sauces and rubs than most of the locally-owned bars and pizza joints near me. Only one local wing shop a short drive from my house has a sauce selection on par with that of B-Dubs. During my B-Dubs days, I would often buy bottles of Thai Curry sauce and use that for stir-fries and other stuff. I LIVE for spicy food, in case you haven't paid attention to my posts. And it's not just B-Dubs; it's everywhere. There's an Indian restaurant near me that offers a very spicy hot sauce; I put that shit all over my lamb biryani the first and, so far, only time I ate there. This sauce has chili seeds in it and everything. That's how you know it's a good sauce. Real shame they don't sell bottles of it or I'd buy some and do a taste test of that with B-Dubs' hottest sauces, see how they all stack up.

Fallout: New Vegas. So many ways to finish the game, DLCs and all. My M.O. is to do the DLCs before the main quest. I steal all the gold at the end of Dead Money, exterminate the White Legs during Honest Hearts, recover my brain but keep the artificial spine and heart while leaving the Think Tank scientists alive during Old World Blues, and nuke both the NCR and Caesar's Legion at the end of Lonesome Road. During the base game, I do all the companion quests. I also upgrade the Securitron Army, leave the Brotherhood of Steel intact, enlist the aid of the Boomers, convince the Great Khans to break things off with the Legion and leave the Mojave, foil the Omertas' plot to gas the Strip, purge the cannibals from the White Glove Society, and exterminate the Powder Gangers. I also like to string the NCR, Caesar, and Mr. House along before throwing them under the bus and installing Yes Man.

I used to go to B-Dubs to eat wings and play Buzztime trivia. I stopped going to my local B-Dubs a few years ago because it was getting too expensive (even before the guilt tax a.k.a. tip) and it was also a pain in the ass to cross DE Rt. 1 to get there. I didn't give two fucks about sports at all. I was just there for the trivia, like how you have people who only watch the Super Bowl for the commercials and don't care about the actual game. My favorite sauces? Thai Curry and Asian Zing. About a month or so after I had my name legally changed, I bumped into one of my old bar buddies from B-Dubs. He was very surprised to learn that he'd been hanging out with a trans woman the whole time and didn't know it. I told him that I might stop by after updating my ID and debit card, to surprise the shit out of everyone. He also told me that there's been a fair bit of turnover among the staff but some of the ones who were at that location when I frequented it are still there. One waitress/bartender has since become a GM. As the antiboyotics have kicked my spice cravings into overdrive, I might stop by for some Thai Curry wings. Or I might try the new chicken sandwich but ask for the Thai Curry sauce on the side.

In the time leading up to my endocrinologist appointment last year, I thought of stealing huge quantities of estradiol and spironolactone and self-dosing. My appt. was originally scheduled for March but COVID delayed it to July. Even when I did see the good doctor, it was through telehealth instead of in her office. But I did get on the titty skittles and have been on them ever since. My endo moved to another state to be with her husband the following month but not before referring me to the cute GP I'm seeing now.

I used to work in restaurants. If I saw a messy kitchen like in the before pic, I'd break into my broken kitchen Spanish and cuss up a storm. I'd use the kind of cussing that'd make the GOAT, Anthony Bourdain, proud.

Who the hell would steal sponges of all things?

I've had all the songs I've posted so far stuck in my head for the past two months.

Happy birthday!

AEW Dynamite. I recorded it onto my Chromecast last night, then watched it today.

Guess I'll give Fena a watch when it airs then. Wish they'd also air Vinland Saga and The Heroic Legend of Arslan. I watched Arslan in Japanese before it was dubbed (it was on Hulu) but now I want to watch the dub.
