New Wave of Nerd

Hey Champ!

Can you guess where I am? If you guessed in the library you are correct. The school year has started which means I forever have my nose in a book. This update is a ‘Thank you’ to the lovely people that contributed to taking away my social life and riding me of the burden of a full night sleep.

I was awarded the Regal Social Regina Bursary, which is a monetary bursary toward my university education. It was given to me by the Imperial and Sovereign Court of the Governing Body – Golden Wheat Sheaf Empire. That can be confusing, basically the Drag Queens of Saskatchewan helped a poor tranny out haha.
Drag Queens and their long titles and names, who does that? I mean is it really necessary to have two middle names…oh, wait.. Carry on, Sisters. Carry on!

I made the video a couple weeks ago, but I am just getting it up now. I am trying to organize my life before I actually take my nose out of a book and have fun.
It is my birthday this weekend, and I am going to Winnipeg to celebrate! It also happens to coincide with lesbian night at their gay bar. This is a combination that pretty much guarantees ridiculous adventures. And I am hoping some birthday kisses.
I am staying with Pocket for the couple nights I am there. There may or may not be some major spooning under her Toy Story blanket. I think kittens are born from that extreme level of cuteness.
I am not going to get too crazy though, I actually have Saturday afternoon booked off to study. I know, who studies on their birthday weekend while in a city full of babes? This kid.

Stay tuned for the details of my birthday adventures! If the saying about how you spend your birthday is how you are going to spend the rest of the year is true, then my year is going to be one hell of a sweaty, sexy lesbian packed dance party. Here’s to hoping it is true!

As promised here is one of the two videos I talked about! This video is about the physical changes from 6 months -- 9 months. Also, I flash my new trans related tattoo.

Thanks for watching! Please keep scrolling down to read the written entry I just put up with this video. Summer is coming to a close, but I am making the most of it till the very end. I went to see Lady GAGA in concert! Read more below!

- Peace,

Hey, Girl/Gurrrl/Boy/Boi/Ze/None of the above, Hey!

I missed you. I missed you the way I miss Facebook when I am away from a computer for a couple days. What? No one said I always had to be deep and poetic about my feelings. Oh, who am I kidding? I am a sentimental sap. I missed you the way the air feels empty in the silence after thunder’s roar.

I promise I made the most of my time since my last written update. I am going to put up TWO videos! TWO! One on the physical changes since my last video, and another on the social aspect of my transition.

I’ve got lots to catch you up on, starting with another road trip. I went to Edmonton, Alberta to see the leading lady in my life. Yes, that is right, there is a leading Lady in my life. I may have mentioned her a once or twice (an update).

I went to see LADY GAGA in concert!!!

The trip was completely last minute and was made possible by my beautiful friends. We drove up Friday, the day of the concert, and made it just in time. I got really into it and even put a costume together. I went as Phantom of the Opera with a GAGA twist. I stretched my craft skills to make the disco ball mask.

Judging by a reaction I got from a cute blonde girl my costume was a complete success. She blushed so hard she got hives. Ha! It was really adorable.

The concert was AMAZING! So good! She sang live which I really appreciate, especially considering how many dates there are to this tour. She was SO inspirational. At one point in the concert she gave a speech that made me want to quit school and do everything in my power to make this blog and my activism better known. Once I calmed down from my GAGA induced high I realized that the way I am going to give my activism a bigger impact is by finishing my schooling and becoming a Human Rights Lawyer like I plan.

My favorite part of the concert was when it was just her and her flaming piano (flaming as in on fire, not flaming as in gay. All her dancers covered the second definition of flaming.). She sang my favorite GAGA song, ‘Speechless’.

Also, the short artsy films between songs while she was doing costume changes. One in particular stands out in my mind; in the video she spoke a short insight about her fans that was very poetic. This is just a little bit of it, “They are the Kings. They are the Queens. They write the history of the kingdom, while I am something of a devoted Jester.”

After the concert we went to a gay bar called Buddy’s. It. Was. Gross. It was so packed we could barely move. The lay out was terrible! I couldn’t even make my way to one side of the bar. The DJ was awful, like really terrible. He played a Taylor Swift song. How am I supposed to get my sexy dance moves on to Taylor Swift? Every Taylor Swift song is like a Nicholas Sparks novel in 2 minutes. Had ‘A Walk to Remember’ been made now it would have been packed full of Taylor Swift songs, not Mandy Moore songs. It is those small blessing in life that I am most thankful.

The next day of the trip was more of a success. We spent the day shopping and wandering Whyte Ave, which is the gay/hip part of town. That night we went to a brand new gay bar called Flash; it was much more of a success than Buddy’s.

Edmonton is not the only city with a new gay bar. My very own hometown just opened up its second gay bar, 302. I know I am biased, but 302 is even better than Flash in a few key areas. One being design, 302 is gorgeous. It is laid out really well, it is easy to move around and find people in the bar. They have a few great DJs, so we won’t get sick of hearing just one DJ over and over. The best part of 302 are the events they throw. They are bringing in big name Drag Queens, which is new to Saskatoon. Also, they are having circuit parties quite often. Before we would only have big parties for Pride and holidays.

302 is having an Underwear party this weekend! I have only been to one underwear party before, and it was back when I was a youngin’. I am a little nervous about how people are going to react to me just in gitchies. I am not going to wear a packer. I really don’t feel the need to wear a packer and have a bulge. I love having the body I have now. I don’t plan on getting bottom surgery. I am okay showing off what I have or, in their minds, what I don’t have. Plus, I have a really amazing collection of underwear so I will have something fun to wear.

My partying is going to come to a stand still right away because school starts back up next week. It is time to say goodbye to Summer Party Avery (accessories include: a cool crisp Cider and manprees), and welcome back caffeine overloaded studious Avery (now comes with pocket watch and coffee stained cardigan as accessories).

I honestly am so excited to start university again. I miss the library. I miss the babes on campus. I miss the ache in my shoulder from carrying all my books. I am nerd through and through.

Thanks for reading! Two videos are coming your way!

Oh! I am not leaving you guys hanging on the topic of babes; there just isn’t any news in that area. Sad, I know. Hopefully, my cardigans and loafers will sweep a smart babe off her feet in the library. Stay tuned!
