    So, I have this national contest coming up. I wanted to be able to present as myself and go by my real name and pronouns, but I have a problem with a lack of communication with my parents. The other night I emailed my chaperone as I don't know anybody else on Team Wisconsin, and he agreed to my idea as long as my parents were OK with it. So, now that I had no choice, I talked with my stepmom who said yes. She told me to talk to dad, and I think he's going to put up a fight out of fear for my safety, but I mean, it's a bunch of history fanatics, and history requires an open mind usually. Plus it has to happen anyway, better now than when I'm in college. At any rate, I'm going to be called Luvina for an entire week! I bought a dress the other day while thrift shopping and I think I might wear it to present my project in. (!) I'm so unbelievably excited and happy and a little nervous right now. I can't wait till friday.:grin:
