Thanksgiving/Angstgiving dinner with the labeled/unlabled crowd. Fun. Large amounts of ethical food. Yams. Wine. More yams. Glad I went. Glad I made tom yim stew.
A little awkward too, partially due to the whole "going to parties with a lot of people I've not met" thing, as I feel on the older end of the bell curve and think I remember being the young one at these things. This comes with turning twenty-six I'm told. That and being in a space where I'm challenging myself to be out. Now that's awkward. If I'm gonna do this transgender thing, I think that an androgynous name would be an asset. "Amy" causes too much cognitive dissonance as is, and I can't introduce myself as such in all spaces.
I'd thought it appropriate for one to take a new name at some point in one's early adulthood, and had been considering doing so anyway. I found that this site helps.

Garren and Greer sound more masculine to me than the others.
Fox is rather cool.
I dunno if I can call you Unity unless I'm allowed to make countless bad 1984 jokes.
We should do a late b-day dinner?
