Soooooooooooo, although I don't do it all the time, I am grooving on blogging and stuff, I do kinda like it, but wanted to keep it separate from WSW, so, it's now in a new spot, a G-Spot, if you will...
WOW, what a day! Me & KiK decided that instead of celebrating Easter, we'd celebrate the TRUE holiday of the day...the opening day of the major league baseball season!!!!
We went to the park & played catch for a bit! Nothing more awesome than two hot chicks playin' catch! (btw; my arm hurts!) We went to the store and got our traditional opening day dinner fixin's...Nathan's Hot Dogs, Garlic Fries, some...
OMG, I'm gonna bust!!!! Tonight is the night I cross two HUGE items off my list. 1) Going to a concert at the world famous Hollywood Bowl 2) Seeing PAUL MCCARTNEY LIVE!!!!
Quite the double feature, dontcha think??? I'm a huge Beatles fan, but for one reason or another, had never gotten a chance to see one perform, (I was just a tot during their heyday), but the time has come and me and my bestie, KiKi are gonna rock it out tonight at the Bowl. Dinner and drinks of course will kick off the festivities, then it's off to Macca-land!!!! The
So here is a lil more big (but late) news to share. This one needs a drumroll, but in the eyes of the state of California, I'm now officially recognized as female!!! With my birthday this year, I had to renew my driver's license, so I was able to have my Dr fill out the necessary forms, brought them in to the DMV and 45 min later I walked out of there an "F"!!!!!
It was seriously one of the most surreal and wonderful moments of my entire life and I have basically been on a cloud ever since I got it! The picture on the ID came out flawless (THANK GAWD!!!) They got the height...
So sorry for the lack of communication of late. There was lot's going on around Chateau G the last week or so, and my life has just been a bit of a whirlwind on many, many fronts these days, so here is a a lil bit of an update.
First off, I had an unbelievable birthday weekend on March 12th - 14th and I just want to thank all my wonderful friends so much for the wonderful birthday wishes & love!!! I can't tell you all what it means to me, especially coming from the people I love like a crazy, fabulous family, so truly, THANK YOU to all!!!!
I posted this over on the support thread, but I was very proud of what I wrote, so I wanted to share it here in my lil personal space!
I have this friend on another site, who is just starting that long, gnarly road called TRANSition! She doesn't go out much, but did so the other night and didn't have the most favorable (at least in her mind) of reactions for the everyday "folk". Her confidence was badly shaken and was seeking some solace amongst friends.
Ya got 3 bux and 15 plays on the baddest ass jukebox evah created in an awesome dive bar. Whatcha' playing to show the masses how ya roll????

Those of you who knew me well (and who I liked enough to give my address) knew I used to live in a cute lil mobile/modular home better known as my lil beachy house! Anyways, I just got a tweet from my uncle asking about a news story he just read and low and behold, my lil beachy house was being threatened by Mother Nature! Glad I got out when I did...
Damn, I knew what I was getting into when I decided to move INTO the city, but I swear, I've seen more discarded couches, tv's and just plain old furniture in general on the streets of my neighborhood than I have at any Ethan Allen showroom!
DON'T DUMP YOUR SHIT ON THE STREET!!!! GIVE A HOOT, FORCHRISSAKES!
God damn it!!! I tried and tried to fight this thing off, I'm still sick and can't answer the bell, so I'll have to miss one of my favorite bands ever; Cheap Trick tonight at the House Of Blues in Hollywood. I'm PISSED!
Sooooo, I just got off the phone with my 11 y/o cousin. Last month, he proudly told me that he had a new musical interest and that was The Beatles! I jumped at the chance to enlighten a young mind about the best band ever, so I burned and sent him every Beatles album I had (which is like ALL of them; plus some awesome bootlegs & stuff) So he called me today to thank me for sending him all the disc's and stuff and we ended up having a 2 hour conversation on The Beatles, their music and more importantly his own desires to write and create music. I swear to god, it was the best conversation I've...
OMG, I'm so excited right now I could BUST! I just scored two AWESOME seats (Sec E, Row 13) for March 30th at the famous Hollywood Bowl to see none other than PAUL MCCARTNEY!!!!
I've been dying to see a show at the Hollywood Bowl for the longest time and now my first time there gets to be my first time seeing an actual BEATLE! I'm totally giddy right now!!!
I heard yesterday (ha "YESTERDAY" ) that tix were going on sale this morning at 10am...
March 30th @ The Hollywood Bowl, some guy named PAUL, (who I think played there a couple of times before in the 60's with this band he was in) is playing there again and I'm feeling a strange "mania" creeping inside my system!!!! I'm soooooooooooooo THERE!!!!
I was never a big "tweeter", but in spirit of getting the WSW vibe out to all the world, I started a twitter account for WildSideWest. Follow along at...http://twitter.com/WildSideWest!!!
WTF is up with Adult Swim???? This used to be one of my fave channels ever! Venture Bros, Harvey Birdman, Robot Chicken...those we're genius shows! Will someone PLEASE explain to me the humor in Tim & Eric Awesome Show! I'd SERIOUSLY have more fun watching apples turn brown! I've never seen anything so awful and just plain stupid in my whole life! How the hell does something like this get on the air?????? Shame on you Adult Swim!
The way forumotion has this blog set up is that it shows about 520 characters of whatever is written in the article window and if said article goes longer than that you'll need to click on the title of the article, which is just to the right of the date box. I know it kinda sux, but hopefully there won't be too much confusion. I'm not really sure if I like this format anyways, so while I'm keeping the blog section, I may change it around and make it look more like the rest of the board.
So I talked to my sister today and she was telling me that she gave a few periphery family members the 411 on my transition. In ALL 3 cases, there was nothing but love and support, but one general thought prevailed in each of the conversations was that when my sis told them was "I thought so!" Seems I wasn't doing the butch thang so well, when I had to!
Imagine sitting in an empty room talking to yourself. Not much fun is it? That's pretty much how I feel around here. I don't know how to make this party ROCK if no one shows up, so if anyone has any ideas or criticisms for making WSW better, PLEASE let me know!!
Sooooo, I'll keep adding new things and posting to myself; hoping someone gets what I'm trying to do here. I've always been bad at follow-through, but I'm DETERMINED to make WSW work somehow, someway. I hope y'all join in, and if not...
