What Made You Both Happy and Unhappy at the Same Time Today?

[KabitTarah]

You're such a sweet child sugar!

I notice she didn't ask how you felt, though? 
hehee...

~~ Most things for me are both happy and unhappy, lately. I suppose that's wonderful - it means nothing's extraordinarily bad!

I'm slow on the uptake, but I know she's not malicious cause she's my kid!

I vote Shaina "least likely to be malicious" for the Susan's yearbook!

I am really enthused about music and stuff. Unfortunately, I'm trying (and failing) to concentrate on studying for my exams this week.
Still having mixed feelings about how I feel about a guy. On one hand, I feel happy. On the other, I have no chance. I'm also afraid that talking about this makes me come across as "too girly."
I found some awesome pants! Except they're the last ones available and I'm afraid they'll be gone by the time I can get them.

Maybe try using the word "dude" in every sentence?

Edge: "Hey, dude!"
Other Guy: "'Sup, dude?"
E: "Got something to talk to you about, dude."
O: "What's that, dude?"
E: "It's super serious, dude."
O: Woah, dude. I'm totes listening."
E: "I'm hot for your bod, dude."

You can also substitute the words "man" and "bro".

But seriously, just talk to him.

Of all sad words of tongue or pen,
The saddest are these, "It might have been".

Another thing I never understood.... how it was "cool" to call your friends bras.

[Edge]

That is a funny sounding conversation.
I do talk to him since we're friends (I hope). I'm just not going to talk to him about this. He might come to The Hobbit with a group of our friends though.
I don't think "bra" has ever been cool. At least, I've never heard it used like that.

I have a friend(that I'm out to) who always calls everyone bro. He now calls me "brah" because it sounds like bra... He thinks he is very funny.

What made me happy was finding out that I will be an aunt. The part that made me unhappy was the news was broke to me with a text saying "What's up Lawrence, I have some big news, you ready to be Uncle Larry?" Which is to be expected since I'm not out to family yet. Stings a bit but I'm still super excited for my little brother.

Done with boring chemistry, even though the final could have gone better. All the stuff I studied was on a cheat sheet stapled to the back.

And now I have my calc exam next. Eew.

[Lauren5]

Ninj that stuff lol.  you go girl.

I'm not very confident, but I'm nervous, seeing that I get rejected from the college of engineering if I fail this math class, meaning I have to make my 4th major change this semester.

I know you can do it willow.

[Lauren5]

Literally I have to ace this to pass. I haven't got over a 70 on a test in this class all year, and it's not because I don't study enough.

Willow, i know you can do it, even if you don't think you can.

I have off for at least a week so I can move into a different position at my job.  Technically, I'm getting a promotion, so it's a good thing.  Unfortunately, I don't get payed during this hiatus, so it's a bitter sweet situation.  Ideally, I hope this only takes a week for hr to complete the process, so I can enjoy a short break without losing too much pay.  At the moment, I'm much more happy to know I have a little time off, lol.   I think my sanity is coming back.

[Shantel]

Happy: Made a trip to Costco and stocked up on Peperoncini.

Unhappy: Walking out, a captive vendor near the exit said to me: "How about you sir, care to talk about gutters or sports or something?"

I don't mind the sir so much, after all that's my presentation for a while.  But wanting to talk sports, yechh, that triggers me.

+1 Got that! Isn't there anything else besides sports for crying out loud....hello?

I filed my legal papers for name and gender change today.   That made me happy.

Now I want to bang my head against the wall.

The soonest court date I can get now is July 24.  It really sucks having to wait 7 more effing months before I can finally get an ID that has my name on it.   I mean, I haven't presented male in public since March.  I just got the paperwork back from my endo last week, who has held them up since July when I went on the full dose of HRT.  So basically, I have to wait over a full year from going full-time to legal name change.  I get to look forward to more awkward moments until August now.  Sigh.  So help me, if I get jury duty any time soon, I'm going to scream.

Just return mail the summons and tell them that you've recently completely lost your hearing.

I have another GPs appointment for next Thursday.
I shouldn't need to be chasing up referrals and trying to educate him about how to refer me to a GIC.
He probably won't listen to me.

[Lauren5]

I may be able to move in with an FtM guy who is a transfer student, and he's cool with me getting dressed up whenever I want.
The downside: My second dorm move in just the first year.

I had to the same with my doctor. Good luck.

Unhappy: I'm kind of brokeish for the next two weeks.

Happy: Got a gift card on a local clothes shop and today I got told they are having 30% off everything. Guess that means new trousers for me. I also want a Christmas jumper.
