Nostalgia!

Some fun for the masses.
Recently, on Myspace, an old high school aquaintance sent me a picture he took of me senior year. I don't remember this picture being taken which might shed some light on the reason why he and I stopped hanging out, especially considering that I came from the old superstition that cameras steal your soul ...

But anyway, I thought I might share for all my livejournal pals.

Sorry to anyone who sees this intro in more than one place... I joined four similiar-but-not-identical communities tonight, so I hope no one's in all four and gets sick of me, as I'll be posting the same intro in all of them. (What?! They're awkward to write!)

The name's Kieryn (although if anyone's around that I haven't noticed, you may know me also as Ann), and I live in Gainesville, Florida where I attend the University of Florida. I'm 20, but I'll be 21 on the 12th (one week!) and I'm a junior, who's somewhat majorless, so don't ask- I don't know what my major is, either, heh. I'm genetically female, and I still indentify as female, more or less, but mostly for the sake of ease, as I rather consider myself somewhat "in between," as I don't quite fit into either pigeonhole. If pressed, I'd probably say I consider myself mentally more male, but, in general, I'm happy identifying myself as "neither." Doesn't work so well in real-world practice, though, as I'm sure many of you are aware. I've been wearing markedly male clothes about half the time for a few years now, and using "male" things as often as I can because I feel more comfortable with them, but my mother keep telling me I'm going to turn into a lesbian if I don't stop using them (oh, Mom, if only you knew!), so I've had some opposition, but I live alone now, so I'm becoming more comfortable with who I am and settling somewhere in the middle.

Gender aside, I'm a huge geek (World of Darkness, anyone? Magic? Munchkin?) and I've played clarinet for 10 years (in the band at UF, going to the SEC Championships in Atlanta with the football team on December 2!), I work at Universal Studios seasonally (mainly summer and Christmas-time), and I'm exceedingly random. I also have an obsession with showtunes and Broadway musicals. If you have any questions or comments, feel free to ask in comments or contact me (all necessary info on my profile) and I'll be happy to answer! I like finding new people to talk to. Oh, and feel free to add me, just let me know who you are and where you find me, because I get paranoid otherwise.

So, in conclusion... hi! *waves* Happy to be here.

Smart Drugs?

So the other day, I pulled a packet of Progynova out of my bag, a blister pack with 28 day marked pills, looked at the (upside down) pack and read 'MON' as 'NOW' and thought (just for a brief moment, honest) "How does it know?!"

Introduction to SGO

I wrote this for my own personal amusement, but I'm thinking about distributing it through my college's LGBT center for their upcoming Transgender Week:

I want as much input as possible, so that the definitions are as accurate as they can be. I'll take any suggestions for changes, clarifications, additional terms, or whatever.
