What are Some of Your Interests

Hi Girls.....well, I will start with some of my hobbies/interests.

Crossdressing and Transgendering....well  .... Duh.  Sled dog running. History/Geography/Psychology, studies of female humans and what make them tick, Green Bay Packers, Military history, good and bad jokes, playing the Violin (now there is a bad joke!), all my Sisters, being outdoors in the country/mountains, shopping for new attire, womens' issues and Medical Studies, Midevil life/Knights (am Knight Templar). That's enough for me.

I look forward to all your comments.........thank you....

Hi Girls

My interests include drawing, photography, medieval architecture, carvings and wall murals. Above all else is Nature. I quite literally wouldn't be alive without it. I have a very sad and poignant story I am calling "how a starfish saved my life". I cannot write it without tears and I doubt anyone with a heart could read it without tears either.

Melanie.......I can't wait to read your story. I think I love animals more than humans....no...I know I do. Heartbreak when they pass....oh yah.

This was something I struggled with.  I've spent so long working on this house, helping dad around the farm and working all the time that I kind of lost myself.  With transformation I re-discovered how much I like supporting people and photography LOL.  I used to be a fairly avid college sports fan, but find now I can have TV on football games all afternoon and not even care that I spent 99% of my time ignoring them. I still love being outdoors and hope to reconnect more with that and doing some travel.  All pretty bland I should say, but simple is how I stay grounded.  I'll leave the glam life for evenings out and soiree's 😀

Hi Dame Veronica

Thanks for your reply. I'll post my story in a different thread; I still can't bear to tell the long version even after 23 years, it's too harrowing for both me and the reader. It is known to a therapist and one other person. Not even my parents know the whole story. It does have a happy ending; I am still here, still alive just in a different persona.

Love from Melanie

I have been a big motorsports fan since the age of 7 (now 71). I’ve been to all sorts of race tracks across the US: superspeedways, intermediate ovals, short ovals, pavement and dirt and permanent and temporary road circuits. I’ve met many famous drivers and team openers/principals. Many have autographed my collection of motorsports books. You would be hard pressed to find a professional touring series that runs here that I haven’t seen somewhere since the mid-60’s. I’ve driven a few race cars and helped a dear departed friend maintain his pavement modified.

I’m a computer enthusiast and built a Hackintosh that I use as my desktop computer.

Amateur photographer since high school and progressed from 620 roll film and Polaroids to 35mm around 1980 to digital in 2005.

Architecture fan, particularly mid-century architecture and the works of Frank Lloyd Wright. I’ve toured Taliesin West, the Robie House, the now defunct FLW museum in Ann Arbor, MI, Wright’s home in Oak Park, IL and other structures in the area and here in California, the Berger and Beuhler Houses. Before I entered college, I thought about a career as an architect, but I realized that my artistic abilities were somewhat lacking. I became a mechanical engineer and did machine design, plant layout, computer programming, discrete event simulation and project management for 43 years. Not hard to understand that my interests all have a technical bent to them...

I enjoy cooking, gardening, riding in the desert and working on my old car. A dream of mine is to dress in a 50s sock hop dress full girl mode driving my 58 around town!
