Introduction!

Hey!
My name is Jonah, but you can call me Joe.
I'm trans* (FTM), and that's basically what I want this blog to be about. And of course I want it to be about my other interests (- but I already have a band-blog).

I'm from Germany - Lower Saxony, but I'm going to move to Schleswig-Holstein in October, because the university I'm matriculated is there. My degree course is Medical Engineering Science (MES) and I'm really looking forward to it. First I wanted to study Medicine, but I got to the point where I thought (and still think) that it's too much resposibility. I always wanted to be a pathologist, because - well - the patients are already dead, so I can't be responsible for their death if I'd make a mistake. But I would still have to do the full Medicine degree course - including surgery etc.
[And I always wanted to be like Prof. Karl-Friedrich Boerne from "Tatort" :D.]
So this degree course now combines my interests and favourite subjects: maths, physics, medicine/medical engineering, computer science and I will be an engineer like my father when I have the degree.

Of course that are not my only interests (that would be nerdy...). I'm really into music. My favourite bands are blink-182, Twin Atlantic, All Time Low, Blitz Kids and so many more - basically pop punk, alternative rock, sometimes punk, but I kinda listen to all kinds of music - except for techno (DJ-stuff etc.).
I also play the guitar (acoustic and electric), but I'm not that good...
Reading! I love reading. I actually read almost every book that is well written - I like realistic stories more than fantasy. I like "The Lord Of The Rings" and "Harry Potter", but that's all. My favourite book is "Fast genial" by Benedict Wells.
I also like some TV shows and movies, but I don't watch TV often (Internet!). My favourites are Sherlock, Ein Fall für zwei, Tatort Münster, Suicide Room, The Perks Of Being A Wallflower and some more I can't think of at the moment.
Some of my time I also spend on YouTube (I'm planning on doing a channel with a friend - so, not really trans-related). I watch "danisnotonfire", "uppercaseCHASE1", "TheRealAlexBertie", "kickthepj", "AmazingPhil", "charlieissocoollike" and some random videos.
I also made a channel with my neighbour, but it's kinda bad - although one videos has over 10k views and it's a really awkward video. That's so embarassing...

About me being trans* and what I want to post about:
I'm definitely FTM, but I don't identify completely as male (but more than female). I have just realised for myself that I'm trans* (about 1-2 months ago), so this blog will be a chaos of confusing thoughts about my identity. :D
I will talk about my transition (I'm pre-everything obviously), coming-out and about my life in general.
I'm currently out to my mum, my best friend and my therapist(s) and really have to change that!

So, this was a really long introduction, but anyway: Have fun on my blog! ;)
