warm weather in November :)

Ever since the snowstorm (we got over a foot in late October) it has been warm out. In fact, it has been warm enough for me to do something I love--barefooting. I think barefooting is one of the ways I express my hippie nature. Yesterday I wore jeans and a Beatles hoodie and carried my Birks more often than I wore them and today I am wearing khakis, a Beatles t, and my Beatles hoodie. The only times I actually wore my Birks (not carried them) was when I was somewhere where food was served. When I see green grass and/or rich earth I can't stop myself from going barefoot.

Update

I have been questioning my gender identity even more. Now I am not sure if I am genderqueer or FTM. I have been feeling masculine/male and dressing male exclusively for the past week or so. My PGP (preferred gender pronoun) is gender neutral or male but everyone calls me female pronouns by default and I'm ok with that at least for the time being. As of yesterday five people know my gender identiy. On Monday I showed my notebook where I've been jorunaling my questioning of my gender identity and how I've been identifying from day to day to Th (associate director of LGBTIQA services and social justice incitives at my university, I know him from QSA) and he and I had a meeting over lunch yesterday where I told him about my gender identity and he asked questions and offered advice, it was great having someone else to talk to. On Monday I also came out to B while B, H and I were eating at the dining hall after QSA.
