Art!

they're awesome.

I have an identity crisis every other day, I don't feel like I fit as a girl or a boy.

I'm very proud of my manlyness. Or something. xD

I know the feeling... But as I've said, I've now come to terms with myself and my body.
But I still do feel "like a guy" now and then but it's no longer an identity crisis.

I see myself as queer/intergender. ^^
But mostly I'm womanly these days because I've started to like my curves. oO

Yeah, I do hope that over time I do become more comfortable with my body, but at the moment I go in and out of loving it. I'm glad you're comfortable with yours.

I hope you'll come to terms with youself as well. *huggles*

It not easy when it comes to disliking your body since you're well.. stuck in it. :/

yep, I recently watched a film abou it caled Boys Don't Cry, which is really sad.

Oh my gods... I've seen it too and I cried rivers!

I know and I have to buy the book about the real story for research. I'm gonna cry whilst reading it.

I've thought about reading it... but at the moment I am WAY to sensitive to read something that might make me cry like that...

I'm in a major anxiety period...

Get anxious all the time, my heart will just randomly start pounding and I never really know why.
The amount of research I have to do for this is going to be huge.

I suffer from panic-anxiety attacks so I'm used to it and I usually know kind of why I get attacks...

And if you think I know something that can help with your research: Just ask. ^^

thank you, you're so helpful

I like to help when I can. ^^ *hugs back*

I'm going to be working with someone who's studing for a PHD and he's writing and making films about gender. He wants to use the footage from what I will do
This is such a great opportunity for me.

Damn! That's great! :D

And hm... I bought a book yesterday that might intrest you:
"Self-Made Man: A woman's journey into manhood and back again" by Norah Vincent.

She lived like a man for almost 1 and a half year to pretty much infiltrate the mens world. It's very interesting.

thank you.

Wow thanks I'll check that out.

No probs and Do so. ^^

Art rocks!!! It's like ... the only thing I'm truly good at! XD I love pencil work, but watercolors are beast too. And pastels aren't too bad.

Do you have any tips about changing your voice?

lets say I do love to sketch and draw (normally colour in colour pencils as its easier and neat for me).

Its quite funny for a guy to say but I like to draw girls such as Touhou Characters (if you don't know what's Touhou please Google or to save more time look at my article) or a few other Anime characters. I have to admit that whenever I'm drawing a guy it looks like a girl.

I do wish I can upload drawings but I don't have a scanner :(

mad as rabbits.:

Do you have any tips about changing your voice?

There's some good instructions on youtube actually!

I already have a kinda dark voice originally (most girls do, we just torture ourselves by talking WAY to high!) but a certain exercise really does the trick for me:

Bing Bong
Ding Dong
King Kong

Sounds silly writing it like that...
But anyways!
It's a normal warm up thingy.
You say the words slowly and prolonged but pronounce the words correctly and repeat while slowly pushing your voice deeper...
Did that make some sense?

Anyways! Youtube is the place to find stuff like this!
I think I might have seen something on WikiHow as well...
