    is there anything else I should buy for my computer while I am on this buying spree

    I picked up a stupidly good webcam so the grandparents can see soy in full 1080p

    I can't think of anything else except maybe a new better router

    Joystick
    drawing tablet
    2nd monitor

    I have a xbox plug in thing to play arcade style games

    I do not draw stuff

    I used to love having 2 monitors but then at work I got a second one for free and gave it back because it was overwhelming

    I don't know when this changed but I am ashamed of it

    probably speeds up the feminisation?

    Cons

    D:
    D:
    D:

    Cons involve emotional attachment, surgery, theoretical loss of fertility (I say theoretical because it assumes I have any fertility to begin with).

    Also those pros are all true, plus then I wouldn't have to take so much T-blocker, reducing the effects of that, I'd have even lower T than now, and yeah. It would sped up feminization too, I've heard of people getting it after years of E and then all of a sudden getting more fat redistribution.

    did you freeze sperm before you started?

    Nope!

    hrm

    =/

    is it too late?

    Yep!

    I mean

    In theory, if I go off of the testosterone blocker and the estrogen, I might get it back (probably would at this point)

    But that is also assuming I don't shoot myself on day 2.

    I am pretty sure that it's too late right now though, because TMI TIME I can barely get anything out now. Ejaculation is for suckers.

    dang

    that sucks

    not tempted just to go for the full v-jay at this point?

    Well I mean

    To be honest I have always been a little tempted.

    But not nearly as much as I'm happy with things as they are now.

    So

    I kind of just say "nah, not now, probably never, but we'll see what happens"

    That describes most of me right now, actually.

    Look I'm in the very beginning of this! I'm not even publically living as a girl (unfortunately).

    So yeah, we'll see where this goes is pretty accurate but I don't have a particularly strong urge to get that surgery, relative to the urges against it.

    not for the first time, i'm glad i don't have to go through all the shit other people have to go through

    :P

    Also for some people, ladies with penises aren't really a big deal. Or are easier to get over than people think. So I'm not particularly upset since I don't feel held back or anything.

    But yeah overall I would not recommend being trans if you can avoid it. Though I've certainly got a special appreciation for a lot of myself now.

    early on in my life, i made the decision to be a white cis-gendered heterosexual male from a middle class background

    and its working out ok for me

    THAT'S RIGHT AMERICA, IT'S A CHOICE

    I used the bonus points you get for picking trans for a sweet third tendon in my wrist.

    It's.. that may not have been the best decision.

    i sometimes think like that too

    like a shitty part of my body i don't like is a price i had to pay to get a piece i liked

    like there was some pre-me hovering over a char creation screen before my birth weighing up choices

    because there are places i wish i could have thrown a few more stat points in there

    and other places i'm like, yup, made the right call there

    I have a family friend who calls this her "burrito theory of life." Everyone has a burrito they fill with good stuff for their life. But you can't get too much.

    Anyway, I obviously did the right thing by picking all positive traits and using humility as a dump stat until it almost overflowed, so now I'm perfect.

    you did somewhat fuck up at the gender selction screen, i think you missed the little drop down menu where you can change that

    God damn it, internet people, why don't you live in Gouda?

    i have been to gouda! it seemed so pleasant!

    i would def come to your birthday! but i don't speak any dutch, so it would probably be kind of awkward.

    i'm not sure if i know any tricks for making friends. if its any consolation, you seem like a super-nice guy and i'm kind of surprised that you don't have more. i guess circumstances are what they are.

    1. I am sorry you don't have many friends. I know how that feels. It sucks.

    2. Boo hoo your poor girlfriend is inconvenienced on YOUR birthday because she doesn't get to talk to a bunch of people on YOUR BIRTHDAY. Sounds selfish to me.
    I think she's more concerned that the birthday won't be fun for anyone, because it won't be much of a party without a bunch of friends there.

    If if makes you feel any better, I've got a few friends at work, but otherwise I don't have any friends.

    I mean...there are the husbands of my wife's friends we see every few months that I get along with.

    But otherwise, nope. You guys are all I've got aside from my family. Hell, my dad was my best man and when one of my other two friends (who I haven't seen since 2008) backed out, one of my wife's friends husbands filled in as my groomsman.

    So don't despair. If your girlfriend is social, just absorb her social circle. It's a hell of a lot easier, because you have the benefits but don't really have any obligations yourself.

    This is almost too much like I Love You, Man. :P

    Well, I'm glad that I have some people outside of the interbutts and family who I can call friends, but it's depressing as hell to know that your girlfriend expects everyone to have an active social life.

    My brother in law has a smart meter in his house now, and the electricity company gave him a little wireless tablet thing with an LCD display that shows how much power you're using at that very moment, and the instantaneous electricity price.

    He is driving his wife up the wall by running around turning things on and off an pointing out how much it causes the power consumption to go up or down.

    Welp, I think I just disappointed my girlfriend because there's hardly any friends coming to my birthday party. She's a social butterfly, I'm a grumpy hippo with only 2 good friends who live relatively nearby. Everyone else I ever considered a friend either never talks to me or lives far away. Friends I made in college I have scared off and offended during bouts of depression, I don't know anyone my age in the town I currently live in and I don't like sports much at all. Acquiring new friends is not something I have ever been able to do reliably anyway.

    God damn it, internet people, why don't you live in Gouda?

    If if makes you feel any better, I've got a few friends at work, but otherwise I don't have any friends.

    I mean...there are the husbands of my wife's friends we see every few months that I get along with.

    But otherwise, nope. You guys are all I've got aside from my family. Hell, my dad was my best man and when one of my other two friends (who I haven't seen since 2008) backed out, one of my wife's friends husbands filled in as my groomsman.

    So don't despair. If your girlfriend is social, just absorb her social circle. It's a hell of a lot easier, because you have the benefits but don't really have any obligations yourself.

    This is almost too much like I Love You, Man. :P

    Well, I'm glad that I have some people outside of the interbutts and family who I can call friends, but it's depressing as hell to know that your girlfriend expects everyone to have an active social life.

    My wife thought that movie was hilarious, and she doesn't even like Jason Segel.

    There were a few parts that hit a little close to home though. :)

    Ah well, it's really not bad.

    i have been to gouda! it seemed so pleasant!

    i would def come to your birthday! but i don't speak any dutch, so it would probably be kind of awkward.

    i'm not sure if i know any tricks for making friends. if its any consolation, you seem like a super-nice guy and i'm kind of surprised that you don't have more. i guess circumstances are what they are.

    it is hard to make friends when you are older

    you have to put yourself in situations with other people who are looking to friend up, is what I've found

    go to meetup and see if there are groups doing cool shit, then go do shit with strangers until they become friends

    or join a sports team

    basically you have to do stuff to meet people when you are a grown up

    Skips, dual monitors is so gooooood.

    At the very least, you can pull up LoL guides on your other monitor to refer to during games.

    A few pages back because chat took off, but, SPOKEN LIKE SOMEONE WITH 3 LIGHTS IN THEIR HOUSE.

    My brother in law has a smart meter in his house now, and the electricity company gave him a little wireless tablet thing with an LCD display that shows how much power you're using at that very moment, and the instantaneous electricity price.

    He is driving his wife up the wall by running around turning things on and off an pointing out how much it causes the power consumption to go up or down.

    That's amazing.

    relatedly, I read travel/moving stuff more often then most I suppose

    and it's a fairly common refrain that [x city] is tough for new comers to make friends in

    like seattle has the freeze, or minnesota is standoffish or whatever

    and I think it's just because unless you move a lot, you're used to having the same group of friends and haven't had to make friends as a grownup maybe in a long time

    and it can be hard, and also it's easier to make friends with other transplants because they're eager for friends too unlike people who have established circles and have been friends with the same people since school

    so basically I don't think cities deserve these reps, I think people just need to learn how to make friends as adults : )

    Ok, I need to get a cup of coffee and buckle down until 4:30. I'm sure I can buckle down and focus for three and a half hours after fucking off the first five.

    is there anything else I should buy for my computer while I am on this buying spree

    I picked up a stupidly good webcam so the grandparents can see soy in full 1080p

    I can't think of anything else except maybe a new better router

    Joystick
    drawing tablet
    2nd monitor

    I have a xbox plug in thing to play arcade style games

    I do not draw stuff

    I used to love having 2 monitors but then at work I got a second one for free and gave it back because it was overwhelming

    I don't know when this changed but I am ashamed of it

    Yeah, this is a thing you should probably be embarrassed about.

    Do you like Magicka and would you like to play later after you get your machine built?

    Are you going to dual boot Win8 / Mac?

    what is magicka

    and mac? I am building a pc

    you can't just install os x willy nilly

    If you wish to save your sisters sanity, those things are battery operated. And they run through it remarkably quickly.

    We never used it once it ran out.

    In this moment, I am euphoric. Not because of any phoney God's blessing. But because, I am enlightened by my intelligence.

    Making friends is haaaard

    Plus thanks to the internet, all the friends I make are in like LA or Tennessee or Canada or Japan

    Tragic!
