Hello smile

I'm Siobhan Curran/Kisa Naumova, and this is my weblog. I tend to write about stuff like crossdressing, Macs, code, cats, wine and Second Life, but in general it's just an ongoing conversation about all sorts of stuff. If you'd like to know a little bit more about what this all is, I recommend starting on this page which has a little bit of info on who I am, and what I'm trying to do — or you could dive into my five years worth of archives if you like.

Otherwise, feel free to close this box and explore...

Fenestration

I'm bored. Let's play crossword-like anagram games! :smile:

  1. Insane test for sacred dragNet souvenirs? (12, 1, 13, 9)

  2. Bravo! (Diluted) (8, 4)

  3. Frilled bargain (6, 8)

  4. Tabloid's jarring analogy (7, 5, 1, 5, 4)

  5. Bleak Welsh Opposition (10, 10)

  6. Tenth grade (3, 7)

Are we supposed to say them out loud? :smile:

So far I know number 3.

Oh and 1's obvious. :tongue:

... I got 2!

Damm, I was rather proud of 1 :wink:

So number 1 is not: "A LASAGNA BIT LORD GRIN JOY"?.. bah, back to the drawing board...

bah, number 4 I meant... bugger

"bah, number 4 I meant... bugger"

Nope, that's not it either :smile:

I was rather chuffed that "tranniefesto" was an anagram of "fenestration" BTW. I'm thinking of doing a 'spin-off' blog called just that, full of sexy adult goings on, and make it really disappointing.

I snuck a (6) in above BTW, and I've been having some fun with names too...

  1. Bee ticker envy

  2. Bars can ruin. Oh?¹

  3. Local Ninjas, hon

  4. Kiss M

:unsure:

¹ My name is one letter off being an anagram of "I crash and burn". Poo

Maybe you should change your name to Sibhan Currand? :unsure:

Sin can harbour?

O A Brain Churns :smile:

Ahem

I've spent an age trying to think of the funniest anagram you can't make with your name, and it's probably "Jangly bum kelp QC".

Interesting — that's an anagram of the Gaelic for "she likes her wine, that one"

Yey! I got them all at last! W00t!

I'm probably the last one to get them, but I'm the first to advertise it!

I win, and I only had to cheat slightly! :smile:

Some notes based on catching up on the last several days worth of posts (I have been doing the opposite of your self and been seeing the family over Christmas)…

RE Five Thirty Am and The Speech

Well it was a real pleasure having you becoming involved in my little goings on in the big smoke. Even if it did turn at one point to me becoming rather obsessed with your good self. Its all too easy to blame ones circumstances, etc. but it wasn’t the best time to get involved (at whatever level) with someone else, being in the fragile state I was in from the events of the new year (whose anniversary looms close now). Heck, I feel like I’m only just coming out of the woods now – what a long strange trip its been.

But — alls well that ends well, and I am so happy to say that I have only fond memories now and you are more than welcome to come down and explore the side of life that I seem to created out of loss at the start of this year.

In fact, if I may hijack your blog for a moment (as you rightly point out, I am not a blogger as such) and just reflect on the year. How I seem to have started with a bit of a “fuck you” from life and with that, through the medium of photography, carved a little niche of transvesitism into the world of vaudeville and burlesque. Everyone seems to know each other, and everyone keeps changing their outfits and styles etc. So yeah – just like the tranny world in many ways. Additionally, the “performance” nature of being a tranny has been highlighted – the number of times people have said to “so when are you on stage” or mistakenly said “I love your act” or in the midst of photographing someone or something, turned round to find myself being photographed…

Anyway – back to it. Delighted for you to use my photos – you have correctly attributed so that’s completely fine.

Oh yeah and that police raid at the warehouse party? Did I ever tell you? I bumped into Beck at another party sometime later – she said that the coppers came in and everyone thought they were just in fancy dress, started complementing them on their outfits and dancing with them. So they just partied for a bit and then left! Ho hum.

Re On Mailing Lists… again

“Do you ever just find yourself wanting to dive into dicussions with phrases like "OFFS, you're a twat" and "Dear god man, I have never heard such pointless bollocks in all my life"?”

Yes I do – sometimes its on this blog though :-/

Did I ever tell you? [...] they just partied for a bit and then left!

Ack poo. No, you never did, and maybe you shouldn't've :unsure: Our original version of events — with heavy use of the word "riot police" — was a lot more fun :wink:

Did you know there's a user on TVChix called Tilly_Small who has as their main picture a photo which looks remarkably like you?

Sorry for bothering you if it's not a nabbed pic.

Oooh. Yep, both her pictures are of me — thanks for the heads-up. I don't think that's ever happened to me before.

Interesting that she used two of my 'not-great' pictures :unsure:

Why do people do that? What do they expect, that if / when they meet someone through such a site that they won't notice that they don't look like the profile picture?

Speaking of which, I wish that Gravatar would get their act together and allow us to update them. Mine is, oh, fourteen months out of date, and not particularly accurate, any more. Meh.

I think a degree of stupidity must also be involved: I think I'll snag an image for me profile, but who to choose? Hmmm, a relative 'nobody' or an 'uber trannie' who's well connected and is likely to have friends everywhere? Yea, the second one; Siobhan'll never find out!

I notice she's been pulled by the way (no pun intended).

an 'uber trannie'

Oh great. Now she'll never be able to fit her huge swollen head through the door :tongue:

Not to mention her huge swollen frock :biggrin:

On a computer forum I goto we had a guy claim he had a company and they had a hummer (he did a sucky photoshop) We eventually found the real picture. We had some fun with the hummer for a bit. He went away shortly there after. I had a voxel pinched and the guy posted it on the same forum I had orginally posted it :smile: People are silly.

Not to mention her huge swollen frock

touché!

Maybe it's because I'm a teenager, but whenever I hear the word "fenestration" I think of something naughty.

And who wouldn't want to look like you?

I notice she's been pulled by the way

That's what happens when an admin of a site gets an abuse report from an über tranny

Oh yeah. Widen those doors please...

her huge swollen frock

Oh. frock.

Sorry, I thought you said something different. Apologies

And who wouldn't want to look like you?

Many men, apparently. But they're all very confused

I/O Crash An' Burn
