Hello to my reader
I am glad you stopped by to take a glance at my first foray on the forum
I find talking about myself is a bore , but then again I have lived every mile that is behind me.
I was born right before the 1960’s began . I am a boomer I guess as they say
I think I had a good childhood. I had my bumps and bruises as we all do
I was a shy kid in school and did well as grades go. Teachers wrote on my report card that they wished I spoke up more as I knew the answers most times.
But school wasn’t for me. I would would have rather been outdoors playing
I had a few friends and those that I cherished them. I met my BFF in the third grade. But before the fifth grade he went to another school in town as the opened a new school closer to his house.
We met in middle school again .When we graduated high school he and i stood next oto each other to get our diplomas Seeing him was spotty but you know how it goes. But he did invite me to his wedding and I also attended his daughters baptism . He got divorced and move to Florida His daughter is now grown up and is serving our country and has kids of her own You don’t get friends like this very often and he and try to stay in touch as much as we can , but again life happens
But anyways enough all that and more about boring me! LOL.
I was always a skinny kid and have fair skin. Till I was about 6 or so I had blond hair. Then it went brown .
By the time I was in eighth grade I started developing breasts. I could have stood a training bra but back then boys were boys and girls were girls and as we know back than well
I was picked on and bullied because I just was different from others. I cried a lot but I learned to hid my hurt.
I was not athletic at all. I was so clumsy that I got a doctors note to be excused from gym glass. I had no upper body strength at that time.
I always liked girls and still do but dating them , well I got the “I like you but !” reply Again buried me inside myself.
I had a study hall teacher who when she saw what I had typed randomly on a typewriter Yes kids that was our pc before it was sitting in our laps
She encouraged me to keep writing and 50 plus years later I am still writing. I learned writing from the best Lennon and McCartney . I would sit listening to their words and cadences This is how I learned to write poetry .
My sexual experiences were few and I did so love it. But nothing solid I think I know why now I saw what my parents had 5o years of love and I think I wanted that . But the right one never came along
I was never interested in men . Men can be so cave man like and strut about like a rooster.
Okay so there is that
But through time I came more aware of Danielle Marie. At first her name was Michelle and then Marie . I have read it takes awhile for your other side to decide on a name. And I fell upon Danielle Marie
She is calming and confident , she has shown me not to be angry at life anymore. That it is all okay . That all the bullying was not my fault but the person who hurt me. As they say “It’s on them!”
What I have noticed now is that I tend to swear less and try to make a effort not to do so. I say Oh poopies now and I also noticed I say Welkies now too
So as for me dressing I never did so till I was 55 or so.
I never knew there were so many choices in woman’s under garments. Hipsters , thongs, bikini , boy shorts , briefs and it seems to go on
I finally settled on boy shorts and microfiber briefs and those are the most comfy for me
As for Bras well just learned from sisters in here how to measure and bought my first bra on line. Will see how it does , delivery is Tuesday
I also bought a jean mini skirt and shorts. I have womens running shorts , a couple of cams and a couple of nigh shirts One is even a batgirl night shirt
Right now recovering from a fracture left knee and I hobble , I use a can to keep myself steady . I had to learn to walk again last year. But my time in a rehab center for it made me lose weight . 30 pounds in a month . That is because I had limited access to food . But came home and it was back too old habits. I love me chips , cookies and candy bars
But I am just not hungry its seems and its been that way for the past 3 or 4 years, Somethings I love the taste of Tomato soup always hits the spot. And I admit it I am in love with pizza . I have been visiting local pizza places to see how they taste and writing private reviews. Best slice on the run Cumberland farms. You can’t go wrong for $ 99 cents or $2.50 for the 3 meat slice.
I used to like to hike , explore nature. As I said I write, I am trying my hand at art work. I take photographs . I play guitar , self taught mostly and have 38 books of various genres on amazon . I have 4 copyrighted works in the US copy right office
I have my life goal list too. I don’t like the stigma that “Bucket list ” has taken on. Life goals is more positive . When one goal is done I cross it off and go on to the next one or another one takes its place
There is nothing fancy on the list. some of the things I have done
1 Karaoke singing when in sing one song and ended up doing 6
2. cracking an egg with one hand , Its no easy feat and got to watch out for shells in your eggs. YUCK
3. Make a decent omelet . Trial and error. Most times it was scomlets my version of a hybrid omelet and scrambled eggs. It works lol
I have done more things but i forgot them off the top of my head
Just so you know I have always been good at mimicking voices, I used to do John Wayne, Bogart and others.
I can still do a little kids voice too, Sometimes when I am with my cousins I in empty aisle I go “Mommy I gotta go pottie ! ” and the kid gets a little louder.
People are like where is that little kid? yeah I am warped i know
My sense of humor runs that way . Robin Williams was my idol. When I first heard his album reality what a concept , I was like someone like me
I knew I was not alone anymore. Listening to his comedy is like giving me a shot of brandy or a blunt. It is a high for me. And before him there was Jonathan Winters , who was Robins idol too. Jon could take a baton and do funny things with it. A fishing pole a chopstick he was amazing
In closing I want to say I am not sure how far I will take Dani but I know she lives in me . I may never go any further than wearing undies under my pants . But as I said she has calmed me and I feel more confident on who I am .
Thank you again for reading my ramblings and thank you for this site. It is wonderful to be here and getting to know all you lovely people
Peace love and harmony
Dani
Dani:
I just about teared up when you mentioned both Robin Williams and Jonathan Winters. While many know of Robin Williams, the tendency is that one needs to be more like our ages to really be acquainted with Winters. Both were simply masters of their craft, and beyond that, I think they had a very good sense of what comedy is, how it impacts people and what it does for them. When I was a kid I discovered that I sometimes had similar wacky thoughts about the things that Winters found humorous. It wasn’t unusual for me to find something that he did Really Funny, but was only mildly amusing to the rest of my family. But, that was OK as I knew that there was someone that I could relate to. Anyway, I miss them both very much.
I was also 55 (2003) when I first dressed completely, albeit without makeup. What I discovered was that while I had a bit of anxiety about being seen by someone that I knew, I didn’t feel odd in wearing the clothes. That was an unexpected revelation. That got me to thinking and set me on the path to where I am now.
Eventually some things occurred to me as I progressed from then to now. Every step I take informs the next. Everything that I do and figure out works to complete the circle. Clearly this is not the work of a minute. If we progress too swiftly, we lose the detail and the subtlety and we miss out on the richness and nuances of the journey.
Finally, thanks for completing your Profile page. It lets others know what is going on for us. You can also update it at any time when something changes. With the creation of new threads, this one will slip down the pile, but your Profile pages is always there…
