Just something I made up... and now set as my new desktop background

What's Amy Macdonald like live? She's always been a bit of a guilty pleasure of mine, but I've never got round to seeing her.
Amy's awesome, I absolutely love her! <3
I saw her in October at the Lowry, Salford which is a small intimate venue. It was a seated concert but she had the audience up and dancing along, it was an amazing atmosphere and the music was beautiful, her vocals were perfect. As soon as I saw more dates were added for this spring I just had to book up again, this time for Sheffield City Hall.
Guilty most certainly not! Pleasure definitely!

Your eyes are sooo beautiful, it's unfair. You look lovely!
You look really pretty! Love the makeup!
Thank you so much! I get so many compliments on my make up, I love it!

<3Oh, Thank you!

In the last year I have seen Katie Melua and Amy Macdonald live.
I'm going to see Any Macdonald again in Sheffield in March

I download a lot of my music from Amazon and listen through Amazon Cloud Player across my devices.
But if it's an artist I really like I will buy the CD, I go to a lot of concerts and usually get them signed. The last CD I brought was Songs From The Silver Screen by Jackie Evancho <3

Mumford & Sons - Lover Of The Light <3

Go on then

I really can't wait for Doctor Who this year. For me the last two series have focused way too much on the relationship between Amy, Rory and River Song and less on the Doctor himself. In the Christmas special for the first time we saw a more human side to Matt Smith's Doctor after losing Amy & Rory, it reminded me much of David Tennant's Doctor towards the end.
Asylum of the Daleks is by far my favourite episode since Moffatt took over, it is Doctor Who at it's best! I love the introduction of Jenna-Louise Coleman as Clara, we may have only seen her in two episodes but her character is already my favourite companion ever!

Thanks
A very important question I do have though. Can I still call you Dazza?
A lot of people have asked me what I would prefer them to call me and I just tell them whatever they feel most comfortable with, but I do like it when people call me Danielle.
Eventually I will tell people to call me Danielle or Dani all the time

Thanks for the welcome... again
One of the great things about being Trans is choosing your own name... I didn't set out for a name which begins with D but I have always loved Danielle, I just think it's a really beautiful name. If my parents were to have another girl they would have called her Joanna so I will adopt that as a middle name too
As for etiquette, there isn't really any, treat me as you would anyone else. If someone presents as female, treat them as such, and the same for male. Your words really mean a lot.. thank you!

So not only have I changed my name I have also been away for a while so I thought it best to re-introduce myself.
Hi! I'm Danielle, most of you know me as dazza_stoke or dazzascfc (if at all) and I first joined the old old forums back in 2004... 9 years ago! I feel old!
From 2004-2007 I was a moderator twice and had an amazing time, I met people both online and in person who I am still proud to call friends today. I've always been around but since then I have been back in spells as I concentrated on other things in my life.
In the past year my life has changed so much... literally! I was diagnosed with Gender Dysphoria in October, it is a condition I was born with and I have since started treatment to fully transition from male to female. I could have just closed my account here and come back as Danielle and nobody would have been non the wiser, that would have been the easiest thing to do. But I have nothing to hide, being Transgender is part of a celebration of human diversity and of our right to present ourselves, and live, as the people we are. I am finally being me!
So that's me... it beats my first introduction post anyway

Many of you may not know or remember me as I haven't posted here in well over a year. One of the big reasons for that has been because my gender issues have increasingly taken over my life. Like others have said, I hate the term 'disorder', and in the medical world it is becoming more and more recognised as a medical condition, rather than a mental condition.
I am a Trans Woman. Growing up in a male body, I have always known that I should have been born a girl right from my earliest memories but I have spent much of my life repressing these feelings. I now accept who I am and I was diagnosed with Gender Dysphoria by my doctor last month. I fully intend to undergo Gender Reassignment and I have since come out to my family and friends who have been so supportive. It's been a difficult period for me and the next few years will be hard but for the first time in my life I see light at the end of the tunnel and I am finally on the pathway to being the person I always was inside.
I've written my story, about what it was like for me growing up and my coming out experience in my blog. For anyone interested, the link is in my signature.

Anyone here into the psychedelic rock of the mid to late 60’s? While I can’t agree with it’s influence (namely, drugs) this era produced some absolutely fantastic timeless music and a lot my favourite bands started out around this time. It's this music which also influenced the progressive rock and hard rock of the 70's, which I also love.
The Beatles of course are probably the most famous, not all of their songs are psychedelic but they dabbled in it for a few years as did a lot of the bands in the day, The Rolling Stones and early Pink Floyd too.
I absolutely love Jefferson Airplane, The Doors, Cream, Jimi Hendrix, The Byrds, The Moody Blues & Procol Harum.
A few examples of classic psychedelic rock (which are my favourites)….

^^To be fair, Stoke have had a punishing schedule of late
Pulis will have to get a bigger squad.
We need to get a settled defence, our squad rotation policy just isn't working for us at the moment. hopefully the international break will give us an opportunity to work on a few things.
It's fantastic we are doing so well in Europe, but I would rather it not be at the expense of our league form. After the break we have two must win home games against QPR and Blackburn, failure to get results in those would really put us in trouble going into the tough Christmas period.

Pink Floyd
in Music
Yea, I like their stuff, Dark Side of The Moon is a brilliant album.
If only they could make peace with each other, and do one more tour.
It would be awesome, and could be a real possibility too. It really would a Great Gig (In The Sky)
Dave Gilmour actually performed Comfortably Numb with Roger Waters on Waters' 'The Wall' tour earlier this year. I actually looked at tickets for that but there were only a few left near the back and for the price I decided against it. I so regret not going now.

I hate football

Pavarotti would be my favorite, and Angela Gheorghiu, because I'm proud she's Romanian. Habanera is my favorite song she sang.
I've seen Angela Gheorghiu at the 2010 Classical Brit Awards in London, where she won best female as well as performed. I've attended the Classical Brit Awards for the last 5 years and have had the pleasure of seeing performances from Plácido Domingo, José Carreras, André Rieu and the Johann Strauss Orchestra, and Lang Lang among others. It's always a top night.
I'm not strictly a fan of opera but I do like operatic songs and listen to classical music. I am a big fan of Katherine Jenkins (her early work anyway) and have seen her live on many occasions as well as meeting her, I am also big fan of Hayley Westenra who I have also seen perform a number of times.

What does everyone think of the new album Mylo Xyloto?
I really like it, there isn't a track that I don't like and for me that's rare on an album. I even like Princess of China feat. Rihanna. It's a little different but I don't think it's that different as some people have tried to make out. Coldplay have always tried new things which is part of what makes them great.
I love 'Hurts Like Heaven', 'Charlie Brown', 'Paradise', 'Every Tear Drop Is A Waterfall', 'Princess Of China' and 'Up In Flames'.

Pink Floyd
in Music
Yeah, I'm a fan. I think Dark Side of the Moon was the first CD I ever bought. Great in a dark room with a good pair of headphones.
Hard to believe that album is from almost 40 years ago.
They will still be popular in another 40 years time, timeless classics.
One of my first albums was Dark Side Of The Moon as well, I also have Wish You Were Here, The Wall and Echoes. Hopefully I should get A Foot In The Door Best Of for Christmas, i'd love one of the box sets though, I would need to save up for that.

Pink Floyd
in Music
With the release of their whole back catalogue digitally remastered, are there any Pink Floyd fans here?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PPYs2avR7Pw
I have been a big fan for years and I think they are a band that offer something for most people. I find them inspirational and mainly like to sit back, close my eyes and relax when I listen to most of their songs. It's like being comfortably numb!
My favorite song is probably Wish You Were Here...
