what song does your life sing?
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are gray
You'll never know dear how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away.
The other night dear as I was sleeping
I dreamed I held you in my arms.
When I awoke dear I was mistaken
And I hung my head and I cried.
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are gray
You'll never know dear how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away.
You told me once dear
That you really loved me
And no one else could come between
But now you've left me and you love another
You have shattered all my dreams
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are gray
You'll never know dear how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away.
'You Are My Sunshine' - Bing Crosby
i love talking about myself!

Hello! Can we have your full name sir?
You sure can! And it's ma'am, if you're gonna be polite. Colette Mercury Barlow.
*cough* Um... here, holds up a clipboard it says Collin.
And here points to heart it says Colette.
Could you... explain for us?
My real name is Collin Mercury Barlow. But I am a transvestite, thus, Colette.
Oh. Well... will you tell us why, exactly?
I like dressing up like a woman.
Any reason for that?
None that I want to tell you. Yet.
Do you plan on... making the change?
Not any time soon, no. Not enough money, and I like being a guy.
Where do you work?
At the local queer bar.
So what do your friends call you?
Mercury.
When was the first time wore... all that. gestures to Mercury's outfit
Oh my word! That was so hilarious! It was... junior year in highschool. I had told all my friends that when I wasn't in school, I was a transvestite. They said that I should tell everyone else, and I was like 'Totally! But what's the best way?' They said that I should full-out go for it, and everyone would know. The looks were priceless when I walked on in the building totally decked out. I had a few problems with bullies, but most people accepted me.
Sounds like a kind highschool. So, who's that jumping around?
That is my ah-mazing doggie, Fetch Dixon! I call him Fetch, though. I thought he'd get a little upset if he didn't have a last name. I love big dogs, and he lets me dress him up, dye his fur, and everything! Isn't that right widdle Fetchy? cuddles the giant dog
You put your favorite song as 'You Are My Sunshine'. Why?
This sort of gets into why I'm... the way I am. I've always, always loved women's fashions. And I've always loved dressing up. But I liked being a guy way too much to make the change. So I kept it all a secret from everyone except my friends. And then, I met him. He was definitely the guy of my dreams, but he was straight as a board. No way would he ever go for me. So I started dressing up as a girl, and introduced myself to him as Colette. He believed me, and we started... dating. He told me he loved me, and I told him I loved him. As you might have noticed, I have a very feminine voice. I always have, so no need for that surgery. Then... he found out my secret and left me. Just like that. So that got me started dressing up as a woman, and I have ever since.
How interesting. How old are you, now?
Twenty-four.
And you like....
Men.
So you like jewelry, I notice. gestures to the two necklaces, the anklet, and the two bracelets
*not watching his hand movements* Oh. I do love jewelry, but you caught me before I could put any on.
Um... you are wearing jewelry.
Wha--OH! These are different. See, they all stand for someone I knew... can I leave it at that?
That's fine with me. But can you tell us who?
My mom... my dad... my sister... my best friend... and my first boyfriend... looks glum
Alright. That seems to be it. Thank you... can I call you Mercury?
*brightens up immediately* 'Course! Ciao, lovely!
Bye, Mercury.
way back in the past, hunny.
I guess I'll start with my parents. I grew up in a very hardcore Southern Baptist church. I was born and raised in Louisiana, right by Lake Pontchartrain. I strove to please my parents, so I was very studious as a child. I always made great grades, just to see their smiles. I loved making people happy, and I still do. But when the boys my age started talking about girls and how attractive they were, I didn't see it. I did, however, adore the clothing they wore. I would start conversations with them for my friends with the line "oh my word, girl! Where did you get those shoes?!" I wasn't the 'gay type', so people thought I was just being funny. It worked, and no one figured me out. I was sixteen when I met... him. You know, the guy who I absolutely was in love with. I was just ready to burst with excitement when he said 'yes' to 'Colette'. My parents asked quite often why I was so happy, and I told them it was a girl. I only told my little sister, however, that it was actually a boy who was attracted to my cross-dressed form. She understood. She was my relationship consultant, and we had so much fun together. She was eight when I was sixteen. Then, when she was nine, she contracted Leukemia. We didn't know until it was too late. When I was seventeen, Colette Leslie Barlow died. I couldn't believe it. The only thing she left to anyone was her Rosary, which she left to me. I didn't even know she had a Rosary, since our church didn't pray it. But I haven't taken that off since I got it. I later found out that it was my dad's, since he was previously Catholic. He gave it to her since he thought I would be too manly to wear it. Irony. Back to the story, in Colette's dying letter, I got a paragraph. I've memorized it:
And to my brother, best friend, and role model. Collin Mercury Barlow, you are the bestest person I know! I wish I would live longer so I could watch you grow up more. I loved helping you with your relationships! It was my favorite thing to do! Your face when you'd walk into my room and ask me questions was so funny! You were so embarrassed. I want you to go to college. Really. I love you so much, Mercury, and I hope you tell them soon. Please? Secrets aren't fun. They make people hurt. Have my Rosary. Maybe it'll help you. Bye, Murky.
After you get that from the person who you love most, how could you not fulfill their dying wish?! Of course my parents confronted me about it after the 'reading'. What's harder than coming out as gay is saying that not only are you gay, but you like to dress as a girl. My dad walked away, head hung. My mother cried and threw the silver bracelet that I always wear at me. She never accepted me for who and what I am. My dad, however, called me into his room a few days later. My parents never shared a room, by the way. I went, and he was standing awkwardly by a trunk. There, he said someone the most inspiring words ever. Hey, son. I was kind of hoping to give these to you on your twenty-first birthday. They're dog tags from when I was in the army... I guess they kinda clash with your style, huh? That was his way of saying he accepts me. I've never taken those dog tags off my neck. It's strange, isn't it? My dad accepts me, but my mom doesn't. Usually it's the other way around... Anyway. So I told them about how my first relationship was with a male, and Dad demanded to meet him. I told him it wasn't that simple, then I fully explained why not. And my dad said that he would meet him and pretend that he had a little girl. I've never loved Dad more than at that moment; he would go to such lengths to make me happy. So I let him meet my boyfriend, and they hit it off so well. My dad loved him, I loved him... on our fourth year anniversary (I know, right?!) he gave me the black necklace that is currently wrapped around my arm, where it will stay forever. He stole my first time that night, too. We were drunk after partying so hard... he didn't notice that I'm a dude. I was so sore the next morning, and that's the morning he found out. He walked in on me peeing, rubbed his eyes, then screamed. After realizing that he'd had sex with a man, he said these words to me: You always looked kind of mannish.
Then he was gone. I cried for hours on end into my pillow, into Colette's old pillow, into my Bible, and into my Dad's shoulder. My mom rejected me when I came to her, teary eyed. That just made it so much worse.
So after a year of being miserable. I finally moved out of the house and into one of the college dorms. I forgot to mention that I applied for the community college here in my town. It's better than nothing, right? There, I met an amazing girlie. She gave me that anklet you see. For the last year of my college life, I did what I was best at: studying until I forgot reality. I graduated at the top of my class, and my dad's smile was so bright when he heard that. Happiness had escaped me for so long, but his face brought that back. But I didn't move back in, no. Mom wouldn't let me. I moved away from Louisiana. I bought a loft apartment, and started working as an entertainer at the local bar so I can make people smile. An entertainer is basically that guy who walks around to all the tables and starts conversations that make people laugh. I'm actually pretty good at it! I bought Fetch Dixon, and things are finally looking up again.
make it basic, lovely.
