I drove through the Tulalip Reservation a few days ago, and then drove through Puyallup Reservation a few months ago.  I didnt spend much time in either (roadtrips tend to be MOVE MOVE MOVE so I can see as much as I can before the sun sets), but what I saw made me a bit homesick for a life I could never really have.

There are a lot of similarities between a Native tribe and my moms side of the family.  And while I often chafed at the lack of privacy, the enforced closeness and the familial obligations and traditional roles...I do miss being part of a bigger whole.

I miss it. But its not a life I can live in as a transgendered woman in a traditionally Mexican world.

I'm a drifter, driving a ratty old pickup, running away and outcast from home, and apparently can't remember what year it is. I'm Dr Who.

String quartet playing in our lunch room. I thought things like that only happened in movies about Wall Street traders and the Simpsons.

I've been watching "The History of Wrestlemania" in honor of Macho Man's death. It weird to see the evolution from 'Rasslin to Sport Entertainment in compressed form.

Not a fan of "Sports Entertainment" anymore (I liked the Attitude and the Monday Night Wars eras), but it was nice to see some old fashioned, goofy gimmicked rasslers.

I love being a southerner, but it comes with some serious guilty pleasures. (My sister's totally a NASCAR fan).

This instant fury thing is so going to get me fired if it doesn't go away soon. Last call was a major disaster and I couldn't keep my cool.

OK, Jenn. Assuming you still have a job, you're getting back in that queue. If the fury comes back, eat it. You're there to help, not bitch.

60% chance of snow at Mt Rainier Friday and Saturday. 50% chance rain at Ocean Shores and Redmond. Looks like I'll be baking tomorrow.

Might even work on a comic. Stranger things have happened.

Okay, that was the most absurdly angry impatient call I've ever taken in my career. I got your message, Universe, already on it, thanks.
