I finally got around to chopping off my hair after it bothering me for being too shaggy the past few months. Not as short as ‘s, nor as short as I chopped it in the spring, but similar to that. Looks better this time. darby said I look gorgeous, and one must always trust the [...]

Mind altering revelation for the evening.

I look better without my mask. (Past entries such as this one reveal what I’m talking about.) I gave away a wig today. I may give away the other tomorrow. All my club and queen clothes are being sold. Those days are over.

I moved back to D.C. in December 2000/January 2001. My parents and friends begged me to come back, I was so sick. I was an out patient at a Pittsburgh hospital for both physical and mental illness, though the doctors urged me to check myself in as an in patient. My apartment was literally killing [...]

The sudden realization that I have performed sexual acts with almost two thirds of the people on my Livejournal friends list hits me tonight as I sit on the toilet while I furiously masturbate and mentally count on my fingers as I try to remember who amongst the many accounts has seen me naked. In [...]

Down a full fifty since the last time I had previously weighed myself, which was last July. Eran mentioned losing weight and disappearing in one of his entries; [...]

"The Drag of Gimp"

Since 1996, my life has been a long journey of visiting one doctor after another. I look more or less fine, but I'm not. My daily pill count is like playing the dozens with a hospice patient. One doctor will say I'm doomed, and send me to another for treatment, but the treating doctor will find nothing within his or her area of practice that can be treated.

My life is better than a comedy, better than a drama. Anyone who has done this knows what I mean when I say that you have to not only know the rules, but also play the part in order to be allowed in the game. Most people find what we go through in the medical merry-go-round to be unbelievable, which is why I call it "The Drag of Gimp."


About the author

Cassandra Disque

Extemporaneous flibbertigibbet with bone lumps growing out of my coccyx. I was born in 1981. I was another case of "too much, too young," or at least I wanted to be. Now I'm leaning toward "too little, too late," as my body conks out on me, and I find I haven't done hardly any of the things I wanted. This is supposed to happen to people twice my age, so you might find my perspective on life to be a little unusual -- as in, I find just about everything to be hysterically funny, because there's little use in worrying when it's all going to go kaput.
