Well here we are on the crux of Christmas. I consider myself lucky that I have no family anymore. Its been a good fifteen years since any of my Real family had had any contact with me. And sadly its not from my want to see or talk to them. Its mainly because of my Gender change back in 1999. That was the year they found out and sadly when my Father (adopted) Stopped talking to me. My last visit home my mother who was perhaps the most perceptive of all of us asked me if I was changing and she could see it. Funny that Sisters and bother never really did till the were told. But at that point you cant hide your growing breasts and the fact I looked way more Feminine than ever and my skin had changed and I had no more facial hair. 1999 was the last Christmas for me with my Real family. My next visit was to bury my mother who died in October of 2000. After that I have not been welcome home.

I do have friends and my new sudo family. I still cant figure out how in the world I ended up stuck with Elfi but to this day shes like my sister and we do nearly everything together. Her father passed over a year a go and I am hoping that we can finish handling his estate tomorrow at the Hearing and finally get everything in her name. Her adopted family and mine are the Lopex family. She grew up with them and she considers them as brothers and sister. About 8 years back they also invited me to Christmas and Thanksgiving. And well we still do Thanksgiving. Christmas tends to be a lot with all the kids running around so we normally pass on it.

This year we are cooking our own turkey and such to eat at home and enjoy things in relative quiet of the holidays. Perhaps a friend or two might visit but I doubt that much since they have their own families to go to. I am well kind of married. I married my good friend in Second Life well over a year ago now. Roy Hinterland is his SL name and Thomas is his RL first name. He has been with me for over three years in SL and we are constantly together. About two years back he nearly died. Red as we call him has bad diabetes and has lost both of his lower legs now and is wheel chair bound. Over the past year and a half I have noticed his computer has not been doing well and hes in a very limited income.

In November he informed me his Mother board was dying it was old and well his sound card part died. Its not good for a person that Dj's in Second life.We talked and he showed me what he was going to get and Well I did some checking and of course the items are like less than half the price here. Sadly I found out that shipping any large item to Germany was highly expensive. So I Sent him money via Paypal for a new updated Motherboard and paid for most of his new power supply. Then I found out that he had various memory sticks none matching in his computer. I had just ordered newer faster memory for mine. Granted its not that much faster than what I already had I was doing my best to be competitive in some gaming I do. I went from DDR3 1600 to DDR3 2400 in speed. I took the old GSKILL rip jaws memory out of the computer and put it back in the packaging it came in . (Yes I save the packaging since things have warrenty's and they want it back in it some times)

Since computer memory is small I packaged it well and Mailed it off to Germany. Little did I know that it ended up being inspected in custom's and it took over three weeks to get to Red. It kind of worked out since Red had to wait till December to get his money and purchase the power supply and he had ordered in a nice Case that well DHL shipping Destroyed when they shipped it not once but twice.
Red ended up going down to the local in the town Computer store and getting a used case there. And later he had to go back for parts and its about 3 mines away and on the way back it rained on him. Doing that in an Electric wheel chair is quite a feat and well it left him sick for about two weeks.

I saw some nice sales and decided to help Red with his old computer also and Picked up an AMD 4300 Processor and a nice Solid state Drive both on sale. I shipped them off Express mail last Friday. I do hope they arrive before Christmas to him. At least this year Red will have a nice Christmas and a new computer and his old one functioning better so I can see him in Second Life more and we can still be together.
