Hi,

First, I think I've mentioned it before, but I'm now writing a book and so this is the end of my personal blogs, I will continue blogging, but what I'm living won't be as discussed in them. If we communicate by PM or MSN, you won't be seeing a difference; but my blogs will be more entertainment centered in the future.

That said this is gonna be personal.

I want to talk about what happened to me a little more than 3 weeks ago. I had a psychosis and discovered two things about me I didn't believe existed.

First, it became evident that I had split-personalities (two) and I was very lucky because they merged quite quickly (less than a week or about). I'm sorry though that the nursing staff left me near a computer at the time (I had only 20 minutes possible, you can do much damage in that little time) because I was still delusional, but didn't know it so I made inappropriate comments to people. I think I apologized enough about this, it wasn't my fault and so this is not another apology.

My second personality was male and called itself Kiel-Alaric and as he is male, he wants to be recognized as such. So I guess I'm telling you that even after the merge, I am going to change my sex and I just told you what my name will be. I would really love people here stopping the use of the name France even though technically it is still my name. I would really love the respect of being called Kiel or Phin ... Phin is fine, it always was my favorite nickname.

The second thing I didn't believe in is that you can block memories; I've been very good at doing it. I haven't apologized for all my lies, but I think a part of me (the not dominant one: Kiel) was protecting me. I lied through all my life, I think it was mythomania, but now am starting to think it was just me having been traumatized. I will not go into this here, it's not the place and I'm not sure I trust my memories yet.

This is who I am, you'll hear again about the sex change... but for now I'm not working on this. I'm working on knowing myself for the first time and if you want to know me take the decision now, if you prefer to stop tracking me, I'm fine with it too... I always thought no one on the site would believe my story, but some great people (they know who they are) have shown me I was wrong. I hope you are part of them, but if not: 'goodbye' just let me know you are untracking me so I can return the favor. I will answer question in comments if I can, if I cannot, I'll let you know.

Music to Discover: Pellep

This is near my heart because this young man and his brother (he plays the guitar) are the sons of the first person who was my roommate in my room at the hospital and she is now a friend. Great song, even if you don't understand, I'm not translating. I received the CD by the post by Pierrette (their mother) and it is worth it from the first to the last song.

Be good,

Kiel-Alaric xx

Phin xx

I think it's very brave to admit everything you have in this blog and you know where I am if you ever want/need to talk. There is a PM coming your way too.

I love the Christmas Carol header. As I said in my blog, it was the first time I've ever actually READ A Christmas Carol. There's so much good description that can't always translate on screen. It was a joy to read, actually.

Be good,
QB

Anne: Thanks, for the first time, I'm calmed. I didn't realized that a running comment in your head wasn't normal... I guess people that talk aloud and say it's normal, confused me, I always thought what I was doing was talking to myself... it wasn't.
Posted Dec 9, 2008 3:21 pm PT
QB: Thanks. It took a while to decide if I would say all I said in the blog, but I had to since I can't live under deception for now... I need to tell the truth, it's supposed to become normal with time; it's something I need to work on.

I'm so glad you enjoyed A Christmas Carol, it is my favorite Christmas story... I love Ebenezer, I just do; before and after that change (and Tiny Tim isn't as annoying in the story as in some of the movies).
Posted Dec 9, 2008 3:24 pm PT
Hi Phin, I agree with QB it's very brave of you to admit everything. I'll still be here whenever you want or need to talk. The music to that song sounds familar, but I doubt I would have ever heard in it French so I could just be confusing it with another song.
Posted Dec 9, 2008 3:53 pm PT
Greta: I know I should think myself brave, but like I said to QB, I have a compulsion for now to be very confessional so I'm not sure that I have to take credit for this at all.

Oh, one of the brothers writes the music, the other the lyrics so unless this is an exception it's a song that sounds like it you have heard, but not the same.

Kiel - It sounds like you're on a path of profound self-discovery, and I wish you grace for the journey.
Posted Dec 9, 2008 6:14 pm PT
TJ: Thanks .
Posted Dec 9, 2008 7:07 pm PT
Wow, Phin, this is huge. You know that you have a strong group of people here who will always support you - I am certainly one of them - and I'm just extremely pleased, even though it was a bumpy ride, that you are at a place that will hopefully change everything for the better
Posted Dec 9, 2008 8:03 pm PT
M@rk: I truly hope so... I have huge projects: the books, uni in August to become a teacher and the sex change. I think I've never been this hopeful or happy, I didn't know it was possible.
Posted Dec 9, 2008 8:40 pm PT
Hi there Keil. I think it was very brave to pour your heart and soul out like that and I totally respect everything that you do. You have to look after yourself so that you can be the person you want to be. I would never dream and not tracking you as your friendship means a lot. Take Care.
Posted Dec 9, 2008 9:33 pm PT
Hi Kiel. We have chatted. I think (and indeed hope) you know that I understand and support you 150%....

Talk soon.....*Hugs. Miles.
Posted Dec 9, 2008 10:34 pm PT
I agree with QB you are very brave, and that is why I value you as a friend. Always here for you hun xoxxx
Posted Dec 10, 2008 12:50 am PT
Kiel - You know that I support whatever decision you make 100%. You need friends like us during this time, and I am glad so many people have supported you during this time . If you ever need to talk, you know where to find me
Posted Dec 10, 2008 1:11 am PT
TP: Thanks, I'm not sure I put my soul on there, it was facts only because all the details, the emotions they are for my book.
Posted Dec 10, 2008 2:33 am PT
Miles: Well, then you understand me better than I do . Thanks for your support .
Posted Dec 10, 2008 2:34 am PT
Zoe: ... and like I told QB, I'm not sure what I did is bravery . I'm proud that everything is out there so anybody still commenting in the future I will take for granted they know.
Posted Dec 10, 2008 2:36 am PT
Rachael: I always know where to find you . Am talking to you right now. Thank you for your support, you were the first to respond to THE PM and it means the world to me.
Posted Dec 10, 2008 2:37 am PT

Posted Dec 10, 2008 3:07 am PT
Phyn: I won't get mushy either, but let's say you friendship got me through one of the hardest time in my breakdown, I make jokes about the Daleks, but it was my anchor to reality.
Posted Dec 10, 2008 3:25 am PT
Awwww... now i WANT to get mushy.. lol.. i'll save it for msn tho!
Posted Dec 10, 2008 3:26 am PT

Posted Dec 10, 2008 3:32 am PT
I will support you wherever you go Phin. You may not know it but Mark and you have supported me now I'll return the favour x
Posted Dec 10, 2008 4:12 am PT
I haven't been doing much more than lurking on this site off and on for a while due to a billion or so reasons, but I wanted to let you know that I am grateful that you are my friend and I support you completely. I hope that you are able to discover what you are looking for and I have faith that you will. If you ever need to talk to me, I am just a pm away.
Posted Dec 10, 2008 5:32 am PT
Oh God, I hope things get better for you. It is brave to be so open but if it helps you in anyway, then it's the best thing to do. Take care of yourself.
Posted Dec 10, 2008 5:46 am PT
Phyn: That convey didn't get mushy enough .
Posted Dec 10, 2008 5:48 am PT
Fyn: Ewwwww, offering body parts... wrong kind anyway . Hope to catch you on MSN soon.
Posted Dec 10, 2008 5:49 am PT
Norma: Thank you, I am glad I could help you through a rough time too. I don't see the moment I am in as rough, but full of changes and I'm glad you are up for the ride.
Posted Dec 10, 2008 5:50 am PT
Ayn: It's always a pleasure to have you in my comment. I tend to write PM only to the same people, but if I need to talk, I know you are there and I appreciate your support .
Posted Dec 10, 2008 5:51 am PT
First of all all my comments I made last night on various blogs seem to have vanished in thi air inclding this one!

Secondly I have switched from France to Phin at your request.

Third, I missed out on any earlier drama. I hope you do not suffer any longterm effects and anyone offended will realize that you were not yourself at the time.
Posted Dec 10, 2008 5:57 am PT
Like Ayn, I'm not on here all that much these days but totally support you and wish you the best in your endeavors. I really like the name Kiel :-)
Posted Dec 10, 2008 6:08 am PT
i'll call u phin...
Posted Dec 10, 2008 7:06 am PT
Hey Phin, what a discovery and I wish you all the best on your journey. This sounds like a goodbye I just realised but its not at all. One of the first men I dated was a FTM transexual though so I'm completely supportive - and am here for any questions or chats. Also - you found one of my great loves - French pop/rap music. I'll be sure to check out Pellep some more. All the best.
Posted Dec 10, 2008 7:30 am PT
Shawn: I feel really good right now, I'm a little indifferent to tell the truth and that scares me a little, but I think it is part of the process. I'll take care of myself and I hope you do the same for you .
Posted Dec 10, 2008 7:53 am PT
Tommy: Disappearing comments... Hadn't seen that bug in a while .

I think I won't call them bad effects, but there is sure long term changes to come with my discoveries some good and some bad.
Posted Dec 10, 2008 7:55 am PT
Jeannine: I appreciate your support . Kiel is beautiful, I always loved it and maybe I'll meet someone who knows the town on here .
Posted Dec 10, 2008 7:57 am PT
Pix: Thank you .
Posted Dec 10, 2008 7:57 am PT
Sheepie: I guess in a way it was a goodbye, I'm changing my personal info that's available to your eyes. I mean I'm always very opened in PM, but the fact that the text in our blogs become the property of TV.com does make the ownership of the material blurry so I think it's time to concentrate on my book when I need to talk.

One of the people I admire is called Kyle and he's like me: a gay man so that's great to know someone else out there is exactly like me and Canadian .
Posted Dec 10, 2008 8:00 am PT
Hey!!! I didn't meant to wake the Dexter in u... silly Phin lmao I'll get some good parts for u dont worry. Cheers
Posted Dec 10, 2008 9:22 am PT
Hi, Phin. Its nice to see someone being so open and honest about themselves, I don't think I could ever do something like that if I were in your position.
Posted Dec 10, 2008 10:18 am PT
Fyn: ... I wish I could have an original part, but I won't steal someone else. You are a bad, bad person (or I am because maybe I'm the only one who thought that way).
Posted Dec 10, 2008 10:32 am PT
Neil: I needed to do it, I don't want negative comments in the future when I won't be as sure of myself.
Posted Dec 10, 2008 10:36 am PT
Oh, and also - I really liked the song. I actially had a phase of listening to random french rap/rock, so I'm diggin' the song. the vid on other hand... Later!
Posted Dec 10, 2008 11:00 am PT
M@rk: I thought the vid was very quebecois and it's what the song is all about . I'll put the translation in my next blog.
Posted Dec 10, 2008 11:26 am PT

Phin...


Glad to see things turning in a better direction for you. Support from friends in times of stuggle can mean the world. So whatever I can offer or do....


**hugs**
Posted Dec 10, 2008 11:30 am PT
Shelly: It does mean the world.
Posted Dec 10, 2008 11:48 am PT
Best wishes to you on the new journeys in your life.
Posted Dec 10, 2008 7:49 pm PT
Hari: Thank you .
