So, I did something last night that I haven't done in months. I put on a bra and panties, pantyhose, a skirt, a sweater, and boots. I brushed my hair and did my makeup, and I put on jewelry. And you know what?

It felt really nice.

So, that was how my latest lengthy absence from my girly life came to a close, and the world didn't even end :) For me, it's a constant struggle to find the balance between the boy life I lead, and the girl life I want to have. To be clear, there will always be both, since I'm never going to be a full-time girl. For these past months, the boy half has taken all my time, and now I'm finding time for Kira to sneak back in. It's nice, because I've missed her. And all her cool clothes!

To all the friends who emailed me this year but didn't hear from me - thank you. I've saved all those mails, and soon I'll sit down and write back. I hope that we can become closer friends as we head into the new year.

I also plan to get back to my picture taking and story writing very soon, so I hope to have some new goodies on my site before too long. I didn't get myself a Christmas tree this year, so no pictures of me decorating a dead pine this year :) That will have to wait for next December.

Anyway, I'm happy to be back and can't wait to talk to you all. Email me at kira@kirasydney.com or look me up on Yahoo! Messenger at the nickname "maybe_kira". As Nina Gordon wrote:

I want to swallow all of you, but I'm biting more than I can chew.

Happy Holidays and have a great New Year!
