Hello. I am a bisexual transvestite former bad guy (thief, grifter, peddler, etc). I am married and I got a job. As of 2005, I am totally emancipated from my kin-folk and an adult in the eyes of the law. Chances are you are who I used to call an "outsider", so my entries will be alien to you. My kin-folk don't spend much time on the internet. We were (they are) the often invisible American nomads. Chances are you met a few. Some of us stay in one location for up to six months, well... them now. Since my emancipation, I grew roots and stopped the drifting. I am now one of the "outsiders"... one of you.

My Diary title "Taking It Back" means a lot of things. I am taking back my life, identity, sexuality, etc. All I do and experience are now under my power like they should be. I do understand that much of what I do may seem to be wierd, mentally "off", or "evil." I don't quite fit into any label, just like everybody else. What those of you who pass judgement must understand is this... I can blend into any circle well, better than most who grew up in those circles. This "freak" here plays the "normal" person better than you, and I am not the only one of my kind.

My wife is my friend who is 18 years older than me. We are best friends who conssumate our marriage a lot, but are not exclusive. I am in reality too young to be tied down, and she is a free spirit. Our marriage is not traditional.

Call me what you will, but chances are I am more "well adjusted" than you. As for those who don't judge me, you earned my respect to a degree already.
