So, when I worked at Dell at the turn of the millenium, I used to listen to 4JJJ and 4ZZZ out of Australia, where alternative music apparently never died. I deeply fell in love with this song, which never fails to take me back to my little cube in Round Rock: http://youtu.be/GuTNwBIhNQc

Writing in the book about my original hormone doctor today and was reminded of an awesome anecdote about the speed of my hormonal "development."

About six months in. I'd gone to the doctor to complain that my developing breasts were hurting, and made it hard for me to sleep at night.
"Breasts develop at a really fast rate, and so pain's fairly common, especially if it's a 'shooting' or 'lightning' pain. Are you sleeping in the falsies you're wearing now?"
"I'm not wearing my falsies."
"You're not?"
"No. Not for a while now."
".....wow."

"My Chemical Romance" is the easiest chapter I've had to write. I wrote it so well the first time, it's mostly a matter of copy and pasting the old chapter and doing a minor rewrite and a bit of editorial tweaking. The only chapter wasn't specifically written for the book.

Example 1 (A typical conversation between pre-transition Jenn and a male):
Tom: "If we compress the matter stream and channel it through the main deflector, we could irradiate the neutrino patch with antiprotons!""
Jenn: “And risk a singularity implosion? Are you mad? OR GENIUS?"
Tom: “What if we shunted the positron field through the electron emmiters?!”
Jenn: "Make it so."

Example 2 (A typical conversation between pre-transition Jenn and a female):
JD: "Oh, I've had a rough day. There was another fight at the movie theater, and these kids were all over the place. And I was cramping so bad, I just didn't want to deal with it. I'm could use a night off and have some hot chocolate with a movie. Want to watch?"
BoyJenn: "BOE SHOODA."
JD: "..."
BoyJenn: "I LIKE JELLO WITH APPLES."
JD: "So that's a yes?"
BoyJenn: "UTINI!"
