I've been posting and mainly reading, on a lot of blogs lately. Maybe I'm bored, maybe I want to get informed about stuff, either way it passes time and informs me - and is sometimes quite interesting.
Here I can rant a bit. It's less rude than ranting off-topic elsewhere.
I've had two people from an organization meant to socially help mentally ill people. While I'm not technically mentally ill, I might need their services with regards to employment (or returning to study) and being more social. They were surprised that I knew, in very detailed ways, what I was doing, why I was doing it, and that I wasn't blindly rushing through.
They weren't too surprised at my appearance or name, or maybe they hid it (very convincingly). It doesn't really matter. The fact is they were pretty nice and helpful.
I'm downloading two tons of anime as torrents. I wonder how long it will take me to watch it all.

I'm not a regular poster

I really am not :P well, except on forums.
I post on MWMF boards of all places...way to get depressed. I post in other places too, but they *all* seem slowed down now so meh. I post on Topix sometimes, way to bash the bible-bashers, it's fun to rant against stupid people sometimes.
So this is my return to my livejournal, hopefully.
So a recap of last year, it wasn't all that eventful.
I kept on hormones all the time except at one point in June where my HRT doc decided to put me on 1 mg estrace (waaay too low), so I could say I didn't have any at that time. Two weeks later I was at my family doctor and convinced him to continue my HRT dosage and make things right. I convinced him to add a progesterone too ^^.
I'll be seeing an endocrinologist soon enough. Hope it goes well. I'm not sure it will, but I do have HRT for 3 months now, and I see him in a week.
I'm still 'officially' single, though I'm with someone online. Not sure if it will go become something 'real', but that's the plan, for both of us. He's in Alberta for now (and me way over here in Quebec province). Hope he can come soon.
Otherwise, no new clothes except a few t-shirts and pants bought at charity, no fancy Garage clothes like last year. No money to buy loli either. I still have my dresses, one plastic-wrapped so it won't become dusty or fade in color.
I have a real bed, not a futon :P and now I have 8 plushies to put on it, 1 from my guy in Alberta, the others I found or bought cheap, they're all cute. I sleep cuddling his though hehe.
I met my family a couple of times this year, the last being January 1st, for New Year's. While most everyone tolerates me, acceptance still seems a far away thing, at least accepting me for who I am, not for who I looked like before. I'm still treated as a guy by most of them. And it's not a passability issue, no, it's cause they've known me for years and years pre-transition.
I've had a few interesting things over the summer, like I first saw a guy naked, and it wasn't an accident, heh. Other things too, like fetish-related, I won't go into details. Let's say I'm more quirky than I look like. That's what I tell people anyway hehe.

Uncertainty and other things...
Oct. 9th, 2006 | 11:54 am
I have lots of uncertainties about the future, and even the present. Lots of unresolved things.
For my living arrangement, I'm unsure about what's going to happen, my #1 choice is to stay here or move if my mom does...but here's what could happen:
-I'm allowed to stay here, following concessions and counseling with my mom...possible, not the most likely.
-I go live to a communal house/center for depressive people (can stay for a year maybe). It's in Terrebonne too, not too far...but you'll understand it's far from what I'd say is best...
-I go live to a communal house/center for mentally ill people (can stay for up to 2 years maybe), not only for depression. It's in Mascouche, just north of Terrebonne. This is the one option I'd really like to avoid if possible.
Going to live in an apartment is not really an option considering my current income.
I'm considering to go return study at CEGEP and then university level, I'll be admissible for student loans...which will give me better income, but I'd still prefer to live with my mom and contribute more financially and otherwise, than to move elsewhere and be lost.
Besides that, I was refused in the government program for gender identity. They're pretty harsh with a refusal rate over 40% and they don't search very far before saying you can or can't join their program (which is a bit sucky in itself as well).
If they had known I had already started hormone therapy, I wouldn't even have had an interview...but somehow they didn't really notice (probably they thought my breasts were fake heh).
According to them, believing in reincarnation, or in biological/neurological causes to gender identity disorder is a sign of being almost psychotic. Hmm sure, if I was really psychotic I'd go see them lol. NOT.
Anyway, not being part of the program means electrolysis and surgery won't be covered by the province, I'll have to pay myself or find another way of paying.
Speaking of electrolysis, I'm looking for a place that does it without charging too much. I heard there was a school of electrolysis in Montreal that charged pretty cheap (compared to commercial rates), but I don't know where it is.
Believe it or not, I *still* haven't received my karyotype test results...I'll call this morning at 9 or 10 to know if they have them. It's been 6 months and 9 days now since having that test taken.
Being intersex is yet another motive for refusing someone in their program (government), but at this point it doesn't even matter. I know someone at the café in Terrebonne who could refer me to an organism that fights for trans rights and that could even help me for my name change (finally be able to change it would be nice)...
Anyhow uncertainty about...
-where I'll live in just a few weeks?
-electrolysis, where and how much?
-name change, possible or not and how?
-returning study, where and how to get student loans or another program's financial help (welfare is not enough) for CEGEP 2 years and university 4~6 years?
-loneliness...guess I fixed myself for this one? I mean it's probably partly my fault that I'm lonely...but still...doesn't help the rest anyway, to be alone (depression, anxiety)
-karyotype results?
-funds for surgery eventually? (orchiectomy and genital reassignment surgery)
Well I'll stop here...but I hope at least some of those I can find an answer to...

Some news today...
Aug. 30th, 2006 | 10:43 am
mood:
contemplative
Yes some new things happened in my life, not on the TV news.
Well first is I received my loli dresses on Monday, same time I also got my petticoats, what timing heh. So I'll be able to wear them tonight to L2. I'm not wearing it right now, I have some things to do first, like my nails, and I'd hate to stain the dress with nail polish.
My mom had some talk with me this morning, there's a good news, and an ominously bad news...
Good news: I don't have to pay rent as long as I stay here so I can get more money saved up...
Bad news: I can stay here 3 or 4 more months, and then I have to go. This would be a bit before 2007.
If I dont spend anything I can save 400$ a month easy, enough for doing electrolysis, so that's pretty good news too. But it's going to be urgent to find someone to do electrolysis on me too. And a place to live in 3 or 4 months as well.
My computer still needs to be fixed as well.
Well aside from that, I'm pretty eager to go to L2 tonight in my new dress. It'll be my first time in public in a dress, and in a loli dress too. Lots of first times recently it seems.
Well I'll write a bit more later maybe, now I have to start on my nails if I want it to be dry by 1 pm.

J'aime mieux celle-là. Le pire c'est qu'elle est plus récente que les 2 autres, et que je m'attendais pas à être prise en photo - aucun gars dans le top 10 :P

My feet are killing me.
Aug. 24th, 2006 | 02:42 am
mood:
drained
music: Sengoku Musou - Azuchi castle
Yes, the shoes I got today killed my feet. They hurt badly all the way to L2, and I knew they would hurt just as much going back.
To add to the hurt, I was unable to walk any other way than on my toes. Walking on my heels induced sharp pain and I was simply unable to. I already did walk like a girl, more weight on the toes...but not ALL weight on toes. It sure put a strain on my legs too. When I got home I felt I had over-worked my legs, they felt all-drained. Not too bloody feet, but definitely bruised, I was only too happy to remove them shoes.
The evening went well. I met Alex at Place-des-Arts at 6:38. I was surprised she was there early. We talked a bit and waited to see if anyone else was to come. No one came and so we left at about 6:50. We were at L2 at about 7 I guess (I left my watch home >_>).
I said hi to everyone, ordered some fries and tried their chocolate bubble tea as well, simply great ^^
I let Clara play in my hair and put clips in, and then later my ribbon as well. It was fun too.
I had some time to talk with Alex and Ariane and I did too. I then picked some clothes Cllara was throwing away, some were pretty cute things and I'll probably wear some of it down on Saturday when we go shopping.
I only ate fries over there so I made it up by eating a bowl of cereals (can't cook much at 2 am without waking up/annoying people). I feel better too.
Well I'm probably going to relax my legs tomorrow, they definitely need the rest from today, so do my feet.
Hoping everyone can make it on Saturday. We still haven't picked on a time.

Last Saturday, and more recent things...
Aug. 23rd, 2006 | 04:11 am
mood:
lonely
music: Sengoku Musou - Inabayama castle
Well it's been a little while since I posted in my journal.
I've been talking some with Alex, Clara and Josi mostly over the past few days. I haven't been doing much. I've done some reading, and attempted to play Star Ocean 3 a bit, I've watched the online shops and checked my emails, wee what great things lol.
I barely ever get emails that are from real people, ever. I sometimes get the odd email from family, usually informal rather than anything else "we'll have x thing happening on y day", and even that rarely happens. Then I have 'business' emails, like emailing stores/sellers about products or info, but I'm not their friend and they aren't mine...
I get spams from many sources, and a constant stream of emails from my yahoo group, which I barely read half of now. Most of it doesn't concern me the slightest.
Well an update on how Saturday went for me. My father was expecting me in a skirt, so he didn't jump at seeing me (he drove me to the family thing too). We got there early. Since I didn't sleep Saturday morning (I did try for most of the night), I had time to prepare well before they got here; I took a bath, shaved whatever little I had anywhere, dressed myself, ate some cereals, put some make-up, brushed my hair, and off I was when they came. They came just about noon.
The ride was uneventful, it took exactly 90 minutes to get there, and we took a different way than we normally did. I talked with my father and his girlfriend, the topic was mostly me, but I had been readying myself for that. They mentioned watching the movie transamerica and wanted me to watch it. I gave it some thought, but I'm not sure I will. Watching movie, especially alone, isn't really my thing.
I asked about her daughter and why she wasn't there, something about her going to meet her father and it just happened to be that weekend. Oh well. We talked about me and transition, not many things were said as we already had discussed most of it. I told them how long the name change would take when they asked.
They didn't believe I was as passable as I claimed to be, and wanted me to go soft on the people over there, saying I was born Michel but becoming Sara...but in my mind that just didn't sound right. It would sound right if I'd say: "I was born with the name Michel, and now I'll petition to change it to Sara, I've however always been a girl where it counts and I'm changing the body to match."
My father's girlfriend noticed I had breasts and asked if they were due to hormones or fakes, well I don't wear forms of any kind, so it's all mine, even if small.
Eventually we arrived, it was 1:30 pm, we had stopped for gas, but not at any other time. We were the 3rd to come, so I guess we were pretty early. We stayed outside a while talking with the others who had come earlier than us. I figure most people there had seen me before, as Michel that is, but some were new. Three new people I had not seen before were amongst the first guests also. I did not present myself and instead just stayed besides my father, spoking on occasions. Eventually one of them asked if I was his (my father's) daughter. I smiled and said yes, and inside I was grinning. I passed right in front of my father ha, that should make him reconsider about me.
Many other guests arrived as time went by, most of them knew me one way or another and were 2nd or 3rd degree family on my father's side, that I rarely see (mostly I see them there every year). If asked I presented myself as Sara, they all seemed to know about my transition and few said anything, most didn't mind or say anything about my wearing a skirt, which helped me get over my anxiety.
I eventually met some kids I hadn't seen much of before and sat near them. I talked a bit to them. Eventually the younger one asked wether I was a boy or a girl. So I had fun explaining everything about transition, how it went, why, everything, I didn't get too graphic and didn't mention SRS other than a surgery without describing it. In passing I also mentioned lolita and described it best I could. It was a nice chat anyway.
I worried for a long while about which bathroom I'd use, eventually I took my courage and asked my father's girlfriend. I just told her I didn't know which to use. She said to use the girl's one, and she even offered to lead me there. So I went, and other times I'd need the bathroom I went there too, if only to wash my hands. It felt rather normal after just the 3rd time I went, no one threw a fit or seemed to mind. They've known me since birth and I certainly never seemed perverted in any way, so I had that on my side.
I had a talk with my youngest aunt. Talked about a lot, about being a girl, hormones, skirts, dresses. And yes in passing I mentioned lolita dresses too. She probably liked it in her youth, but considered herself too old now (she's nearing 40). She said it sounded great I was so interested and we talked some more about many things.
I also talked with my godmother, who is my father's aunt (or my grandmother's sister-in-law). I had a few words with her daughter also (who is my father's cousin). Talked about the same thing I did with my aunt I guess, but it got a bit more personal. I seem to trust her more about things, even though I see her only once a year or so...I also explained what lolita, especially sweet lolita was, and got the reaction I expected too, she thought it was because I didn't have it in my childhood that I felt it was missing from my life. This really is part of it, not all of it, but the rest even I don't know fully.
The evening ended and we departed at around 10:30 pm, we did have a lot of fun there anyway even if I spent a lot of time on my own. There's not a forced end of it, but usually by midnight the ones staying are fewer. We went back and talked some more in the car, I was feeling pretty sleepy. I mentioned the dresses I'm buying to my father's girlfriend, she said I could send her an email of it (which I did). Her reply said she liked it.
Well that's about how it went. It was uneventful and not many were even surprised to see me as I was. I didn't know as many people would be knowing and it was for the best that they did.
Next is the guy I dated 3 weeks ago now. We dated on July 31st, August 1st and August 3rd on my birthday, he mentioned wanting to invite me to his place eventually, and that made me nervous and anxious. I didn't call him until the 9th where we talked about meeting on the next weekend at his place, the whole weekend. He later made it known he wanted me to sleep over too...that idea I didn't really like. His plans mostly crashed on Saturday evening when he'd try everything to get his car battery going to no avail, and he had given back the second helmet for his bike to it's real owner who sold it and was left with only one helmet. So he had no means to pick me up...he eventually suggested I go by bus, at midnight, take the last bus at 1 am. I already didn,t like that idea of going out so late and with no options of return until the next day, what he suggested next made it even worse...
I said I couldn't go tonight, but wouldn't mind coming on Sunday afternoon so we could pass the day. He really didn't seem to like it, as he revealed the prime point of me going over was sleeping there...that turned me off right there.
He eventually made plans to have it redone this past weekend. Knowing of me going out on Saturday he said he would take Monday off and have it Sunday to Monday...I had been thinking about it all for a while, and came with my intuition saying it was too dangerous and unsure he really liked me for me...I didn,t have the heart to call it off or give some sort of explanation, I also can't lie if my life depended on it...so I chose the coward's way and just didn't say anything. He didn't call as he doesn't like to call here (I'm not the only one who could pick up the phone). I didn't call either. He contacted me on MSN...but I ignored it. This is also why I'm listed as away on MSN even when online. I really don't know what to tell him...but I think he got the hint somehow. I'm really sorry for doing this to him...but I felt telling him I was afraid of being raped and didn't feel he really loved me as harsher than silence.
Hmm other things...I emailed in the starlight's shop to know what was happening with my order, since I'd missed they charged 4$ extra shipping to Canada. The response came rather quickly, saying it had not mattered and had been shipped on last Friday, should take a week to receive it. Fanplusfriends told me my dress would take 8 days to send, on the 21st, so when I wake up tomorrow it should be 6 days left.
I'm eager to get it, and the petticoats, but I also have to worry about getting shoes, which I'm supposed to go shopping for on Saturday. By pure coincidence, as I went in town today, I bought a copy of Samurai Warriors (Sengoku Musou in Japanese), and backtracked to a shoe store just a few yards away. I went in, looked at their selection, only the mary-jane look-alike shoes drew my attention. They were black though, but very cheap. I need white ones, but I don't mind getting black ones now, especially since it could give me something to go with my skirt tomorrow too...so I'll go back there and see if they have it in my size, if they do I'll wear them tomorrow evening. Now I'll just need socks to complete my outfit, maybe a headdress eventually, but I don't know for sure now.
In the last few days I had Clara come and say she was anorexic and I guess it put me on the spot. I can't deny it really, I do have it too. I should gain a few pounds, at least close to healthy weight. Can't say I'm angry at Clara, because I'm not, it just made me realize something important. So I thank you instead.
Well, a very long entry here isn't it? Hope I don't have that much to say everyday lol. I should write more often...

The ride was uneventful, it took exactly 90 minutes to get there, and we took a different way than we normally did. I talked with my father and his girlfriend, the topic was mostly me, but I had been readying myself for that. They mentioned watching the movie transamerica and wanted me to watch it. I gave it some thought, but I'm not sure I will. Watching movie, especially alone, isn't really my thing.
I asked about her daughter and why she wasn't there, something about her going to meet her father and it just happened to be that weekend. Oh well. We talked about me and transition, not many things were said as we already had discussed most of it. I told them how long the name change would take when they asked.
They didn't believe I was as passable as I claimed to be, and wanted me to go soft on the people over there, saying I was born Michel but becoming Sara...but in my mind that just didn't sound right. It would sound right if I'd say: "I was born with the name Michel, and now I'll petition to change it to Sara, I've however always been a girl where it counts and I'm changing the body to match."
My father's girlfriend noticed I had breasts and asked if they were due to hormones or fakes, well I don't wear forms of any kind, so it's all mine, even if small.
Eventually we arrived, it was 1:30 pm, we had stopped for gas, but not at any other time. We were the 3rd to come, so I guess we were pretty early. We stayed outside a while talking with the others who had come earlier than us. I figure most people there had seen me before, as Michel that is, but some were new. Three new people I had not seen before were amongst the first guests also. I did not present myself and instead just stayed besides my father, spoking on occasions. Eventually one of them asked if I was his (my father's) daughter. I smiled and said yes, and inside I was grinning. I passed right in front of my father ha, that should make him reconsider about me.
Many other guests arrived as time went by, most of them knew me one way or another and were 2nd or 3rd degree family on my father's side, that I rarely see (mostly I see them there every year). If asked I presented myself as Sara, they all seemed to know about my transition and few said anything, most didn't mind or say anything about my wearing a skirt, which helped me get over my anxiety.
I eventually met some kids I hadn't seen much of before and sat near them. I talked a bit to them. Eventually the younger one asked wether I was a boy or a girl. So I had fun explaining everything about transition, how it went, why, everything, I didn't get too graphic and didn't mention SRS other than a surgery without describing it. In passing I also mentioned lolita and described it best I could. It was a nice chat anyway.
I worried for a long while about which bathroom I'd use, eventually I took my courage and asked my father's girlfriend. I just told her I didn't know which to use. She said to use the girl's one, and she even offered to lead me there. So I went, and other times I'd need the bathroom I went there too, if only to wash my hands. It felt rather normal after just the 3rd time I went, no one threw a fit or seemed to mind. They've known me since birth and I certainly never seemed perverted in any way, so I had that on my side.
I had a talk with my youngest aunt. Talked about a lot, about being a girl, hormones, skirts, dresses. And yes in passing I mentioned lolita dresses too. She probably liked it in her youth, but considered herself too old now (she's nearing 40). She said it sounded great I was so interested and we talked some more about many things.
I also talked with my godmother, who is my father's aunt (or my grandmother's sister-in-law). I had a few words with her daughter also (who is my father's cousin). Talked about the same thing I did with my aunt I guess, but it got a bit more personal. I seem to trust her more about things, even though I see her only once a year or so...I also explained what lolita, especially sweet lolita was, and got the reaction I expected too, she thought it was because I didn't have it in my childhood that I felt it was missing from my life. This really is part of it, not all of it, but the rest even I don't know fully.
The evening ended and we departed at around 10:30 pm, we did have a lot of fun there anyway even if I spent a lot of time on my own. There's not a forced end of it, but usually by midnight the ones staying are fewer. We went back and talked some more in the car, I was feeling pretty sleepy. I mentioned the dresses I'm buying to my father's girlfriend, she said I could send her an email of it (which I did). Her reply said she liked it.
Well that's about how it went. It was uneventful and not many were even surprised to see me as I was. I didn't know as many people would be knowing and it was for the best that they did.
Next is the guy I dated 3 weeks ago now. We dated on July 31st, August 1st and August 3rd on my birthday, he mentioned wanting to invite me to his place eventually, and that made me nervous and anxious. I didn't call him until the 9th where we talked about meeting on the next weekend at his place, the whole weekend. He later made it known he wanted me to sleep over too...that idea I didn't really like. His plans mostly crashed on Saturday evening when he'd try everything to get his car battery going to no avail, and he had given back the second helmet for his bike to it's real owner who sold it and was left with only one helmet. So he had no means to pick me up...he eventually suggested I go by bus, at midnight, take the last bus at 1 am. I already didn,t like that idea of going out so late and with no options of return until the next day, what he suggested next made it even worse...
I said I couldn't go tonight, but wouldn't mind coming on Sunday afternoon so we could pass the day. He really didn't seem to like it, as he revealed the prime point of me going over was sleeping there...that turned me off right there.
He eventually made plans to have it redone this past weekend. Knowing of me going out on Saturday he said he would take Monday off and have it Sunday to Monday...I had been thinking about it all for a while, and came with my intuition saying it was too dangerous and unsure he really liked me for me...I didn,t have the heart to call it off or give some sort of explanation, I also can't lie if my life depended on it...so I chose the coward's way and just didn't say anything. He didn't call as he doesn't like to call here (I'm not the only one who could pick up the phone). I didn't call either. He contacted me on MSN...but I ignored it. This is also why I'm listed as away on MSN even when online. I really don't know what to tell him...but I think he got the hint somehow. I'm really sorry for doing this to him...but I felt telling him I was afraid of being raped and didn't feel he really loved me as harsher than silence.
Hmm other things...I emailed in the starlight's shop to know what was happening with my order, since I'd missed they charged 4$ extra shipping to Canada. The response came rather quickly, saying it had not mattered and had been shipped on last Friday, should take a week to receive it. Fanplusfriends told me my dress would take 8 days to send, on the 21st, so when I wake up tomorrow it should be 6 days left.
I'm eager to get it, and the petticoats, but I also have to worry about getting shoes, which I'm supposed to go shopping for on Saturday. By pure coincidence, as I went in town today, I bought a copy of Samurai Warriors (Sengoku Musou in Japanese), and backtracked to a shoe store just a few yards away. I went in, looked at their selection, only the mary-jane look-alike shoes drew my attention. They were black though, but very cheap. I need white ones, but I don't mind getting black ones now, especially since it could give me something to go with my skirt tomorrow too...so I'll go back there and see if they have it in my size, if they do I'll wear them tomorrow evening. Now I'll just need socks to complete my outfit, maybe a headdress eventually, but I don't know for sure now.
In the last few days I had Clara come and say she was anorexic and I guess it put me on the spot. I can't deny it really, I do have it too. I should gain a few pounds, at least close to healthy weight. Can't say I'm angry at Clara, because I'm not, it just made me realize something important. So I thank you instead.
Well, a very long entry here isn't it? Hope I don't have that much to say everyday lol. I should write more often...

Well, it's already been three days since my last post, hope I'm not falling into my not-posting habit again! So here's a post to prevent that hehe.
The doctor appointment on the 14th went pretty well, had nothing to complain about. Got my (medical) form given to my doctor, he'll fill it out and call me when it's ready (I'm surprised it isn't already). For my right foot, he checked it and didn't really say anything or prescribe anything, he just said to leave it alone and stop the medication I was already using (it freezes, thus burns, the foot). I'll see how that goes, I hope it goes away >_>
On another note, I went to L2 tonight and met Clara, Josi, Alex, Ariane, Julie and others. Lots of people, I was a bit shy and more daydreaming because of it. Too bad I don't have something to take pictures myself, everyone seemed to except me! lol
I wasn't dressed in lolita, since I don't yet have anything, but I had my white skirt (I like it still), white camis and green t-shirt (it's stylish anyway). I'd rather have more dressy shoes going in a skirt, I feel awkward in a skirt and running shoes.
Clara seemed to be in awe at me, surprised me some I guess. She's pretty good-looking herself, I don't see what she could envy me, besides maybe my hair lenght. Her hair seems in pretty good health and pretty cute to me anyway. There's reasons for me to envy her even. Her voice is so soft and nice, I wish I had such a voice.
She also tied my long white ribbon to a ponytail she made with my hair ^^ I didn't know if it would be too long (the ribbon is 44 inches long), but it was just fine really. It slipped some on the way and when I got home, but it held up for quite a while and it wasn't even tightened (I wonder how it held so long, most of my hair ties don't lol, they all slip >_>).
Well I don't have anything planned up tomorrow or Friday. I'll have to decide what to do about Saturday, and I'm anxious about Sunday and Monday.
Tomorrow, I might call my dad or more likely my grandmother (she's the one who would come pick me up for the family day), and ask her some things. If I go or not to it on Saturday will mostly depend on what she says.
Friday, well so far nothing, might take the opportunity to get a haircut, I've been post-poning it for months lol.
Saturday, depends how my grandmother feels about me dressing as a girl there.
Sunday and Monday, I'm supposed to go at my boyfriend's house and sleep-over there. I'm not entirely sure how it will go. I'm positive he will probably be disappointed since I will not allow anything he would think of. I'm not too much of a prude, but I don't want to be too hasty, and I'm not too enthralled by the idea of losing my virginity.
We've already discussed this partly. I guess I was sort of vague though. I don't want to be too forward and I might 'take things as they go'. That doesn't mean I'll have sex (of any kind), and that might be misunderstood by him. I don't know what will happen of it...
Well I guess I'll have time to think about it later until then...

excited
music: David Bowie - As the world falls down
I set my sights on buying two dresses I saw online, very cute ones ^^
A bit pricy I guess, since I'll also need other things with them, but I don't mind, it's all worth it!
Hmm, not much else has happened during the evening. I have my doctor appointment tomorrow morning...or afternoon, neither would matter much, I'm just more used to an afternoon appointment...so I guess I'll go to be there at noon...have nothing else I plan to do tomorrow either...

Well this is my first entry, first time posting in a journal in a long while too I guess.
I don't have a lot to say I guess, today's been pretty bland and boring. Ethernet cable failed me a bit earlier, making me anguish for an hour about when it would decide to reconnect...before I took things in hand and used another cable.
I do love chatting up with my friend on MSN and yahoo when I can, they liven up my day ^^...but I realize I don't do much outside chatting as it is.
I'll post again later, I'm not too inspired now...
